Last night, I had this dream of an old pet of mine.
Backstory- I had a miniature schnauzer, Simone, from the time I was 2 until I was about 19 or 20. When she left us, I was at a bad time in my life and not at home. I was told she "ran away" (aka "ran away to die"- apparently dogs do that). She was old, fargile, nearly blind and nearly deaf at this point, but still so full of love.
The dream- So i'm somewhere that's obviously not real. Some type of underground apartment type thing. And I knew that while I was in the dream. So the dream goes on for a while. Then, all of a sudden, someone came up and said "Hey, we found your dog that ran away." and there she was. My baby. As if not a day had passed, she could smell me (her eyes and ears were the same as when she ran away in real life- everything was) and ran up and jumped up and was so excited. And I was so excited and it's bringing tears to my eyes just typing this. We were jumping and playing and excited... and then I woke up.
The reason i'm putting it in 'pets' and not 'dreams' is because I really feel that was her. Not some dream manifestation of her. I know I probably sound crazy, but I swear it was her. She is her old self, she is sweet and happy and loving. Whatever dimension she's in, she's ok and she still loves me. And that makes me feel so much better about not being there in her last days.
