For the last two night I have the most awful yet happy dreams.

Last night I dreamt that I dug up Barney's coffin and he was alive .

I was so happy, I took him back into the house and everything was normal again. It seemed like the dream went on for hours. I got up this morning and went downstarirs and my mum had left her coat on the sofa, for a SPLIT second I thought it was Barney.

I just want to throw in a happier dream, too, so we're not only talking about sad or disturbing ones.

About 2 weeks after my cat Smokey died, I began having extremely vivid, almost lucid dreams of being visited by her. These dreams had a distinct and different feeling to them than any of the regular dreams that happened during those nights.

Although they took place in different settings, each of these special dreams followed a pattern. I would see Smokey and exclaim, "Smokey! You died, but you've come back to see me!" I always had the very distinct sense that I was being visited, that this was more than simply having Smokey show up in a dream. And each time, she'd stay with me a while and I'd pet her, and then she'd leave again.

Smokey's death had shaken me to the core. I was already exhausted from dealing with my wife's cancer, and I almost fell apart completely after Smokey died. When I had those dreams, I felt certain that she'd come back to comfort and reassure me.
