I have two types of Cindy dreams.  The first are dreams where<br \/>\neverything is &#8220;normal&#8221;.  That is a dream that is set in an everyday<br \/>\nsetting, say, in the kitchen washing dishes, or sitting on the couch watching TV, or at a<br \/>\nschool event of some sort.  And at some point I realize that Cindy is<br \/>\nthere and nothing seems odd about the situation, until somewhere way up<br \/>\nthere the conscious mind starts to realize what&#8217;s going on deep down<br \/>\nthere in subconscious land and sends little hints to remind everyone<br \/>\nthat Cindy has been gone for quite a while now and this can&#8217;t really be<br \/>\nhappening.  At that point I get all excited and start telling her about<br \/>\nall the things that have been happening without her for the past 4+<br \/>\nyears.  And at that point I always wake up.<\/p>\n<p>The second type of dream is one in which I am trying to understand why<br \/>\nCindy has left me.  In these dreams again it appears that she is<br \/>\nalive.  But in this case she is alive but has left us and I haven&#8217;t<br \/>\nseen, heard, or talked to her for these many years.  I am usually<br \/>\ntalking to one of her friends and trying to find out why she has left<br \/>\nand why she won&#8217;t talk to me.  On a few occasions I will actually see<br \/>\nCindy and try to talk to her, ask her why she has left, and why she<br \/>\nwon&#8217;t let me see her.  She rarely ever responds in these dreams.  The<br \/>\nfew occasions when she does she is very cryptic or evasive and my<br \/>\nfrustration level increases to a point that it sometimes wakes me up.<br \/>\nThis type of dream leaves me in a very uncomfortable state upon<br \/>\nwaking.  All the emotions that I am experiencing are still there when I<br \/>\nwake up and it take a good portion of the day for all the emotional<br \/>\nbrain chemical accumulation to equalize and things get back to<br \/>\n&#8220;normal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Todd is dreaming, as am I.
