A dream I just woke up from (8/3/25)....

 Joyce was in it, ever so briefly.

My cat Kaja was on my lap while I was on the recliner chair in the living room while I was sleeping.

So, I am a little sad that i was woken up earlier than I could have been.

But in the dream, I was at some sort of buffet or potluck. More likely a buffet outdoors for something. A party or benefit. And I was grabbing food from the buffet, and Joyce was with me.

I didn't say much to her, although I think she may have been pointing out what was on the buffet to me.

It was like pot roast and mashed potatoes.

There wasn't much else, but she was there.

Maybe I will have many of these, or many more in depth. The thing I worry about is that is the extent of my interaction with her, or at least what I retain after I wake up. I have had dreams with my Grandmother ("Ma") and my Grandfather ("Papa Dave") before. Recently even. They passed about 10 and 16 years ago.

But from memory, the experience with them in the dream was limited.

I do wonder though with Joyce, it could be more often and more detailed.

But will i remember it? I hope so...even if the experience is 1 of our arguments..I honestly don't care at this point.

I dunno, a therapist will probably come up with a bunch of explanations as to why and what these dreams mean. I want to believe she is there because she is reaching out and contacting me and she misses me as I much as I miss her.

Thinking about this dream and maybe made me wonder if it was at Booya, and how I failed to add that in the Eulogy and still can. Maybe that was a reason for the dream? maybe. Booya is/was a regular tradition of ours with the kids (her cousins Victoria and Gabino) and her mom. So, not including it in the Eulogy, and now doing so, maybe adds a little something to why I had this dream. But I don't think we were at Booya in this dream. But maybe I'm wrong?
