To me, when I dream of something or someone, I am unconsciencely thinking about it/him/her. So while I was away, I dreamt about many things at home, including BBSS, my poly friends, the cg and specific individuals. While means, my brain is constantly thinking of them, kind of like an involuntary thought..
That explains why I was already homesick the 2nd night.
It felt good when I told these specific individuals that I dreamt of them. This is to also let them know how significant they are to me! If you really love(as a friend) certain people, please tell them quickly!
Life is unpredictable.. I chanced upon Ms Conz's blog post. My heart sank. I quickly related to my own life and started thinking, what if this happened to someone I know? Indeed, if someone dear to me goes forever, I would be so, so lost.
Matt is currently working in the ward that I will be working in a weeks' time and he has already seen 2 deaths. Patients he once looked after are now gone, just like that. Probably after my 1st attachment, I will really treasure the people around me.
I urge you to do so too.
We even sang "Amazing Grace" during service which very much reminded me of my grandparent's death.
Cherish while you can.
