Tears in a Bowl Aug '04

I was aware my 4 year old son,Zack, was going to an old family farm with someone. I had a dream in my dream that he went and we came later to find police searching the area, the land had flooded from the river, the person, Paul, who took him, I haven't seen since 1990 had taken him to the family farm and was found dead. I realized it was a dream when we came across Paul's body near the rivers edge where police found him. Though he was dead, he looked at me,smiled, and said "hey Kev".Then I was walking at the farm with people, it was flooded.I said "he's over there". We went to the location I had seen previously.Paul was dead. Ttransition- to a Hospital with several hundreds of people that were doctors, patients, and like me trying to get answers.Walking-maze of doors stairs & rooms-came to a room where Zack was.He was fine.I hugged him, said I was sorry and that missed him so much, and we touched our foreheads together and I cried.I knelt down and cried so much, that a container on the floor captured my tears and filled to the top. I raised the bowl, poured it on the floor,& said "As I have shead these tears in thankfulness to you Lord, I return them to you."Zack either stayed or Karin (my wife) grabbed his hand- I walked out. I was adamant about leaving in the most direct path. I looked back,Karin was farther from me. I grew in frustrated-she wasn't keeping up. I went down a hall and turned, Karin came out a different door and her mother was with her.We went down the stairs together. We entered a room I noticed my ex-step sister Lori and went to her, I hugged her and kissed the top of her hair. Her daughter was there,smiled at me, I smiled. Everyone was concerned yet happy.transition- Isaw a friend, becky, and her mom. I haven't seen Becky in 20 years. I was feeling awkward that she was so kind to me. I,karin,becky,becky's mom, sat in the back of a car.Beckywanted to hold my hand to comfort me. I held her hand. I awoke.
