My mom has a thing for dreams. She really truly enjoys hearing about them, and I had one recently I wanted to share. Now normally, I dont think very deeply into dreams, but this one had too many aspects that reflected reality, so I will share those with you as well.
The dream had two parts - the first part was fun but meaningless, like most of my dreams. It involved me as a character of the TV
series "Heroes", and I was fighting the bad guy, Sylar. Then with no transition that I can remember, I was suddenly on a boardwalk walking next to a beach by myself. Many of my family and friends were there at the beach, but I couldnt see any of them. Suddenly, there was a tidal wave - a small but realistic one where it's all white wash, but it just sweeps over the beach - and, not knowing what to do, I laid down on the sand next to a palm tree and held on. It receded quickly, but was soon followed by another, larger wave, this one and the rest more like the one in the picture. I acted in the same way, and laid down holding on to a palm tree. After this one subsided (again, rather quickly) I looked around to see where my family was. Only a few feet away was my mom with her camera out, trying to take a picture of this 100-foot wave about to crash over us. She was using her old camera, which seemed to take forever to take pictures, so she was struggling trying to get a shot. Just before the wave hit, she had to put the camera down so she could put her shoulder into the wave - the 100 foot wave - so she wouldnt get washed away. And soon after that wave disappeared, she was still there. Suddenly, another wave came from the right, then another from behind, where the city used to be visible before the wave covered it up. Then looking to the left I saw My sisters and Father running on a slightly elevated part of the beach, just as a very fast and menacing looking wave rushed out from the city streets behind them, but, despite the fact that it was nearly 100 feet tall as well, it went right past them staying on the lower portion of the beach. At this point, I had gained some courage, and was also taking on the waves standing up. Finally, after too many waves to count, I woke up.
What does it all mean!? Life hits you and everyone around you with wave after wave of challenges and hardship. Everyone is affected by challenges. Some affect everyone, some only certain people. You are never alone, and even if your family is partially split up, and far away with their own challenges, they will get through theirs just fine. Their successes and your own during challenging times will increase your confidence and allow you to take these challenges standing up, thereby not getting sand in places you dont want it. Also, dont forget how important it is, even when you are faced with a 100 foot wall of water, to stop and enjoy the scenery and the sites. After all, when is the next time you will get to see a huge wall of water that close up?
Face your challenges head on, enjoy life, and dont forget about your family. I love you guys.

I so love this!!! How just as it got really scary it took a sharp turn into LOL funny, then another sharp turn into a succinct and perfect approach to living.
I going to print this out and post it on the frig.
Last night I dreamt about riding on my new mountain bike. Also, I don't swim well, so please hook me up with some flippers if you can.
Thanks/Love/Your mom/I want Katy,

So...that picture of the tidal wave coming in on a city, is actually Honolulu! You are freakin' me out as I stay in that one closest to you in the photo. Please post nice sunset beach shots next time...your giving me nightmares.
Talk to you soon!!CL
dude. I had my first night terror a few weeks ago! I dreamt, opened my eyes then still saw a huge scary spider was crawling down the wall towards us and the bed- I screamed and jumped out of bed forcing both A & I up cause I yelled at A to "GET OUT OF BED THERE'S A GIANT SPIDER COMING FOR YOU!" Then A freaked too, 'holy shit where where-'and leap out of bed. I explained it was "on the wall crawled into the bed." A asked "How big was it??" I held my hads out about two feet across to which A's face dropped curiously and was like... 'rrreally? Are you sssure you weren't sleeeping?'
I couldn't sleep for hours after that- I was sure the shadow in the room would turn into something fucked up...
How the hell do you deal with those???
Wow... sounds like a lot of my dreams, only more meaningful. Or at least the way you interpreted it was. Damn you and your deep almost poetic thoughts!!
I love you! And the way your mind works!
