Day 300- In My Dreams

Today as I’m driving around running errands and listening to the 80s on Sirius an old REO Speedwagon song comes on- In My Dreams.  It reminds me of the dream I had last night.  

In my dream, I was holding Shayna. We were horizontal laying on the bed and I was kissing her cheeks. She was about 3-4 years old.  I looked up and Kayla was standing there. Kayla looked at me and somehow I realized she couldn’t see Shayna and to her it looked like I had my arms wrapped around empty air. At that moment I woke up.

There was a time some time ago when every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day

But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I’d wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin’, you see in my dreams you love me
Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you’re thinkin’ of me
‘Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don’t know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

I keep hopin’ one day I’ll awaken, and somehow she’ll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin’
She touches me and suddenly I’m alive
