Dream a little Dream


Last night was a rough night, I didn’t get much sleep, the Lord woke me up & didn’t let me sleep, saying, “Psst I want you to talk to me, haven’t heard from you today”. So I got up walked around, praying for a while, just the LORD & I, such sweet fellowship, Amen. After an hour or so I went to bed, started to dream a little dream of being in Mexico. In the ranch where my father grew up, we used to go there every weekend it was no doubt we would be there every Friday afternoon till Sunday night. Well, but this time I was the father in the situation. I here David in background in a faint voice as if he was far away, “Daddy” I stay quiet to hear again, then I hear him again, “Daddy”. So I go to where he is laying down on the floor. You see in Mexico there were never enough beds for us all so we had to sleep on the floor. I walk over to where he is at he then tells me, “There is some one outside”, I tell him, “OK baby daddy will check it out, go back to sleep”, “OK Daddy” he says. As I look out the windows like I do in real life, I call it doing my rounds, I look, but I see nothing. So as I lay down back to bed Dee Dee hugs me. I hear something that makes me open my eyes (still dreaming) I am not sure of what I heard but I look around trying to hear something, anything, All of a sudden I see a shadow move across the curtains, mind you we are in Mexico so the windows are open with a slight breeze moving the curtains. I hear the faint cry again “Daddy”, just a little louder this time. So I jump out of the bed, looking around for something to club in my hand, but I find nothing. I look out the window; the windows have burglar bars, so I wasn’t worried about someone coming into the house made out of cinder block, no walls inside just sheets hung up from pillar to pillar dividing the rooms. I finally see it is neighbor coming home from town, in the middle of the night, you see the buss doesn’t pass through this little town that much, & when it does the hours are very far between. I ask him in Spanish of course what he was doing, he tells me he missed the 10 o clock bus so he had to wait for the 2am bus ride. I told him he was scaring people at that hour, jokingly of course. Then we said our good nights then back to bed, then I hear, “daddy”. I wake up in real life now, look around actually do my rounds, but first go check on the boys, but they are sound asleep. Then I put my head down it is actually 2am now, I start to doze off, I fall back asleep. Now I start to dream another little dream, yet they seem so real, I thought I would right about them before I forget, I had already forgot about it this morning. This time I was in my truck going down the highway, doing the speed limit of course, I am learning to behave now. As I am driving, J is in the passenger seat holding on to the “Oh No Bar” on the dash. It is a curve handle sticking out fro the dash that you hold onto when you get on the truck, but if you see J when he rides with me he is always holding on I guess because I drive too fast. Then I look back in the back seat I see Michael playing his PSP.Don't know where we are going just driving when I feel the truck shake, I am looking around, & I see dust all around the wind starts to pick up. I keep driving pretty soon the truck is like not moving, I look at J, then look at Mike, when all of a sudden the truck flips, turns out we were in a tornado, the truck flip, windows break. There is glass shattering all over the place, little cube shaped glass from the rear window. We stop sliding, I start to look around for Mike he wasn't wearing a seat belt, so I undo my seat beat so does J, then I get out of the truck I don't even wait for J, I am yelling out for Mike, but where is he, my heart is racing, looking for him. Then I wake up for real again, I do my rounds again this time it is about 4 am. I go to the boys room again, to check on them I give them a kiss as they sleep, & when I go back to bed I look at the clock, & think man I have to get up in about an hour. So that is how my day started to day, but to my surprise I wasn't tired all day.
