RC's Ball of Life Dream

Jun 12, 2005

This is really cool...

My daughter RC. is 8, and she has the best teacher, Mr. M. She really 
loves him. He plays guitar and sings with the kids, and he is an 
amazing teacher. 

Mr. M. had a cold, and last Monday it turned into pneumonia which 
landed him in the hospital. As of Friday he was still in the 
hospital.

So this morning she told me she had a weird dream...
She said it was a hospital and school, but they were kind of in the 
same place, like hooked on. She was out in the playground for a 
really long recess and then her dream friends came and the one with 
the 'mysterious' voice (that means she can't tell if it is a girl or 
boy) was telling her what she needed to do next.

She said she had to sneak through the school part, but her dream 
friends would cover her if someone else came. She said that the 
sneaking part was a little bit scary. But then she was walking all 
around in the hospital part and she had a little orange ball in her 
hands (she curved her fingers to show me about an inch and a half) 
and she said the weirdest thing was that the mysterious friend 
called it 'Life'...the voice told her it was Mr. M's life and she 
needed to give it to him. So she went into the hospital room where 
he was and saw him.

Then she said, "and it was like...poof!...he was in the school part 
and so was I and he was ok, and he gave me back the ball"
~~~~~~~~
This being Saturday, after she told me the dream, and we talked 
about it and what it could mean, I let her call Mr. M's house to see 
how he was. Well, he got home late this morning because last night 
his fever broke.


Now I just need to find a way to teach her discretion when choosing 
who to talk about dreaming with. I hope that she doesn't go through 
what I did...but she's a dreamer.
