PAST LIFE DREAM THAT RALPH HAD: Around the time of Jessica’s marriage and we heard of the twins that were to come�?.(the pregnancy)

Dream started like I just got out of the Navy  and was coming home.

I drove to a small town like Crisfield Maryand, a small southern town.,. and drove close to a small church under construction.

I remember looking at this really fancy house for sale, and it was a  real fancy / artsy type of a place.

Then Deb & I came back and were looking at it together. We went upstairs and saw rooms we had looked at before, so this was the 2nd time.

Upstairs where the bedrooms were there was a child (about our granddaughter Lindsey's age) and she was pushing a swing type of thing (drew a triangle).....frame with wheels, so I said to the child, "No" it will mess up the floors and I took it back where it belonged.

I seemed to know where it went.....

The owner's wife was downstairs, real ritzy acting - and we were back downstairs at a table.

Deb said, "Did you make an offer?"

I said, "No - I was going to when we saw people coming down the stairs just then.....

We agreed, we'd better try to beat their offer

(full price offer)<

Then I looked and saw another couple  who "loved" the house but they were sweeping each step as they walked down the stairs, anticipating  I supposed, that it was "their's"......and they wanted it to be spotless..

I made an offer on a "Divan" like the kind in the Palm Theatre......and offered him $50.00 and he was insulted and said "Oh - this is a beginning bid, but then  he walked away...

Part 2-         the Past Life - or a Dream within a Dream:

.........Then I remembered I was telling Deb about a dream I had and she said "well next time, look at the pictures, so you can tell me what they said.....

I remembered a "dream within a dream"and in the dream was a set of blueprints and I called out to Deb (while still asleep) that there are these blueprints and Deb said to look at them & report back about the findings.

So I looked at them and saw it was the  Appatomatox Court House (in Virginia) and other information I could read, that looked like construction notes.

Then I was in this same small town and remember saying to Deb, "Thanks, you were helpful to me".

Then I remembered being in town and all the people wore Confederate Uniforms (from the Civil War)...they were scruffy like coming from a Battlefield. I was wearing a Union (the North).....Yankee uniform just coming out of the service. (like in the beginning of the dream).......

Another Confederate soldier came close to me and tried to frisk me, but I moved aside

He said something to the others, and they walked off all into a room, and I recognized they were having a "Secret meeting"....about me.

I felt threatened like an outsider.

Next thing I knew I was standing outside of an old building, (Barnwood/gray/weathered) and the people were going into what looked like a Restaurant, in this building.,and someone handed me the old book (menu) very old and printed on it was a Triangle, which intersected with the Logo on the Menu (being out of place for the Civil War era then, kind of "out of time"......) it looked out of place for an old book (having a modern logo for the menu in it

Deb and I went into a building and it was like a Funeral Parlor....It had a Vestibule and a set of doors and I saw a Podium , and Deb went to the ladies' room, and a man was standing there at the podium,

So I looked beyond him, and saw all the construction going on and said, "How long is this construction going on?..........?

He looked at me an said in a strange way, "For a Long Time"

I felt like I could be the customer (of this funeral......)

this dream took place when we first adopted Ngagne, so around 2003 when Jessica first got married.....(we heard of them)...and was pregnant, (the twins not yet born until March of 2004)

So, at this time, we were both dreaming far more......elaborate and rather lengthy dreams

This one has many puns & symbols of past life during the Civil War (for him).....possibly for me too...although I'm not in uniform, but there during the period of the Civil War. (which I know I was during the Civil War era)

perhaps not together however, (I don't think we were)

He (Ralph) was a Union Soldier, and possibly was killed (from another dream, I think I recall this) by this gang of Confederate Soldiers coming back from War, meeting up with him in Virginia, and conspiring, (the secret meeting) to kill him.

The "Funeral Parlor" and he being the "customer", was part of this lifetime.

The man saying to him, that the soul is "under construction for a long time "  is another testimony to this

The "Menu" in the  very old Civil War building, being a more modern menu in a very old book & building, was showing him that in this dream, "He was out of time"........

In the beginning of the dream he was entering his "past" life, as just coming out of the service(army)....and in this life he  really WAS stationed in a small town called Crisfield Maryland, so it was the setting for the dream.

This part however shows that he & I are always together ......if not in one lifetime, then in the others (and in between lifetimes)....working together,....hence, "the 2nd time"

          Then Deb & I came back and were looking at it together. We went upstairs and saw rooms we had looked at before, so this was the 2nd time.

Note:

“rooms we looked at before, and especially fancy ones, are symbols of consciousness and the perfecting of it�?together

inserted in the middle and forgotten this part of the dream)

ADDED

There was a water tower to my right, and I went down a dirt road and saw a little church "under construction". (see again, the beggining of my dream) the same under  construction theme......

I remembered  I could "Fly" and I knew I was in a Dream

So I flew and saw all the ground and people below this town and I felt safe as I was far enough away.

(then,Deb & I went into the Funeral Parlor......see above......)as the dream continued

.......................................................................................................<o:p></o:p>

I don't know how I could have missed inserting this part of Ralph's dream as it shows us that we leave in an instant after death or during it....and then are once again SAFE

I think the way he saw himself, going "up the hill" to where the Road Ended, is a PUN.
