    DREAMS” (2/28/22)

    Before falling asleep, you internalized the fact/reality that God is with you, within you is God and God is inside of you and sure enough you had some interesting dreams. The setting was very nice although you can hardly remember it well enough to describe it, and something you remember distinctly was being with ******* ******-> We talked a lot and the convo was incredible. We ended up walking and it was so slow -> It was actually a marvelous moment -> not exactly certain though it did seem like ** ***** ********

    You ended up waking up from that dream and fell back asleep with the same mantra of holding God close within myself and sure enough you had another very vivid dream this time a little more intense ~> can’t remember exactly what happened -> tho you definitely remember your Uncle taking a what looked to be a fake gun away from some weirdo who didn’t act like he wanted to use it and it may have turned out to be real though it is rather hard to recall-> still an overall fun dream with friends & family
