Second Life & A Funny Dream

I hope 2014 is a better year than 2013. In fact, I know it will be. There have been some signs.

You see, since my sister died (I will refer to her as Bee because her true name means Bee.) And I have her memorial in Second Life. Second Life is a virtual world where you can create anything and be anything. More on the SL later. Anyway, I have a one armed angel statue tucked away in a corner of my sim with a wreath and red tulips. I have birds flying up if an avatar approaches. Its a really lovely effect except for the one or two birds that get stuck. I like to think she's getting an eyeful of them.

And there's an alcove with an inscription: "No pain, no grief, no anxious fear, can reach our loved one sleeping here." Might be morbid but it makes me feel that she is in this other world too.

Anyway, I had this dream of her. I was in a haunted room . . . well it felt haunted but it was haunted by plants. They sort of moved and the cabinet drawers in the room were moving too. It was dark but not midnight dark. More like the dark before sunrise. My brother was in the dream as well. I had called him because I was afraid. And then a window was open or perhaps a door. And there was my sister. In her favorite orange tee. And she was smiling. And she said: "Now, which one of you are going to top the other?" Don't you think that is an odd thing to hear in a dream.

I think 2014 will be a special year. The year when we may realize some dreams. Tomorrow, I will tell you about the chopstick and the lottery tickets!
