Had a dream last night

[conuly]

where Finn hadn't died, and in fact the process of the "euthanasia" had recovered him to full health, happy and chipper and with lots of energy and mobility. In the dream I was actually annoyed that they'd sent us some other dog's ashes rather than admitting the truth, but you know in real life I'd be thrilled.

My dreams are not very subtle.

It just occurred to me a few months ago (after the dream stopped happening, apparently) that for the last 12 years my mom was still alive. The last surgery was a success, and as of this writing, she's still around and doing ok.

The dream was so realistic and went on over so many nights for so long, perhaps years, I suppose, it never occurred to me until I stopped having it that a) it was a dream, b) that I never mixed it up with real life because it was hyper-realistic which c) explained why I'd question how she could possibly be alive in the dream but d) did not question the fact she's been dead for 12 years once I was awake.

Talk about feeling like you live in an alternate universe.

So sorry about Finn.
