Green Blouse

I'm not sure why the green blouse is important here, but let me explain.

I had a dream about Diana last night. Well, it was actually this morning after the alarm had gone off and I had hit snooze. It's important to know that I never actually heard Diana speak in my dream, but I spoke to her and understood her responses / wishes / inflections.

I dreamed that I was with Diana. We were in a room somewhere and we were reading from a book. It was a large, hard cover and it sat on a stand that held it up at an angle for us to read.

During the dream, we were only looking at one page and it was arranged such that a sentence or two would be written with a space under it then the next sentence. The sentences weren't necessarily related, though. Kind of like I blog here. Short ideas, written to completion, then on to the next random thing. While I can't remember the content of any of the lines, I do know that the one thing that related them to each other was that they they were all subjects that Diana would be interested in.

I came across a line of text and pointed it out to Diana. I don't recall the exact wording, but I know it had to do with the Trail of Tears. It's hard to explain what happened next, but I'll try.

I pointed to the text and said, "Look. It's about the Trail of Tears." It took her a moment to catch up with my reading. Don't ask me how I knew that, but I knew she wasn't seeing what I was reading.

Finally, when Diana found the line I was pointing out to her, I had backed away from she and the book a few steps and looked at her. In response to her silent request, I said "But it's so far away."

There was a moment when she just looked at me. There was no communication except a patient waiting. After a moment, I said, "Ok, I'll take it." It was that point that we embraced. She was so incredibly happy that I was going to do this for her. Of course, I wept in the dream until my sobbing woke me up.

After I was awake, I repeated the details of the dream to myself until I could write something down. I was still groggy, so my note was fragments.

I drew a sketch of her blouse and wrote "- Green blouse" over it. Then, starting at the bottom of the page and wrapping around the edges until the writing met itself again end-to-end, I wrote:

We read from a book, sentences - one liners. ---> about the Trail of Tears ---> She wants me to go and deliver the message. ---> ??

And now, I'm left with questions:
  • Was Diana visiting me or did I dream about her because I've been thinking a lot about her lately?
  • If it was Diana, then what message is she asking that I deliver and to whom?
  • What did the book say that I was pointing out to her? I remember that I read it, but I can't remember what it said.
  • Why was I so concerned about what she was wearing?
Any ideas? Comment. I will welcome comments on this one.

E, The Trail of Tears was one incident in history that she and I felt strongly about. Apparently, from the other side I believe she wants you to do something, what, I am not sure. My suggestion to you is, hang on to this dream and wait. In time, more clues will come to you, is my hope. She understands that we don't always get the drift. -grin- She'll send other clues. When in doubt, tell her you don't understand and ask her to enlighten you.

Yeah, I know about her connection with the Trail of Tears. That might be why I had the dream in the first place. The thing is, I read the darned line in the book, and I remember thinking how perfect it was (whatever it said!). I just can't remember it!
