Dreamt last night I was in Illinois at the house across from my old Jr. High.
Mom wasn't there but my sister was.* Several times, in fact.
Turns out dad'd been some kind of genius hacker in his youth "such a good looking guy he'd just waltz right in wherever and get access,"** planting computer programs in various agencies throughout the Mid-West.
The programs somehow combined to create time travel, as evidenced by the Kid, my sister, plucked from different periods of her life, and now simultaneously present as:
Infant,
toddler,
child,
teen-ager
and adult
(the latter supervising the others). ***
My father, meanwhile, argued on the phone with himself as a young man, who found the whole thing amusing.
*Interesting since my sister: 1. was never in that house 2. or even ever lived under the same roof as my mom, coming from my dad's 2nd marriage.
**Told to me by a familiar, adult, comforting presence of whom I now have no recollection.
***Did remind me a bit, of the first time I saw my sister with her own little girl, pictured above, the spitting image of herself from days of yor.

Butchwoi,
ReplyDeleteThat was not a dream. You are remembering the past/present/future reality.
