College of Spirits

Last night I dreamt that I went back to Union College for a reunion. Katie and Israel and I were talking when a friend of theirs came up to us, telling us to read an article he wrote in a magazine. There we saw a picture of people in white walking around the campus. They were the ghosts of Union College, the spirits of friends who had passed away. Front and center in a too fluffy dress was Devin. I don't know if the article was full of moving people like the Quibbler of Harry Potter, or if we actually walked around with her on the campus, but I definitely felt her presence. I'm always happy for the moments when she appears in my dreams or memories.

Later in my dream I was attending an event where lots of staff and old students were mingling around some elderly organic gardeners. I was so excited to see them because I used to be a member of their group. In reality, I think they represented the ladies and gentlemen of the Senior Dances Mat and I used to attend.

The whole dream had a very hippy and light feel. I remember that I was wearing Katie's necklace and trying to figure out what other old bauble of mine to throw on.

i still wear that necklace all the time. my other necklaces get jealous, because unless i can wear both at once, i always choose the one you gave me. it makes me think of you often. i am a little afraid to take it off because i am afraid i will become less-infused with good energies.

what a pretty dream. i'm glad i was there with you. maybe it is why i kept waking up about midnight last night...
