> He was a bit younger and healthier than when he died. More like he was before he retired. We were standing outside the office with me, talking about work, and critiquing his successors. We both knew he was dead but didn't mention it, although his body was quite corporeal. And we knew he couldn't stay forever, though we didn't mention it. I realized I was deliberately standing a few steps below his so that I would feel much smaller than he was. And I hugged him.It sounds like a dream about acceptance of his death, and about knowing he's still your father even though he died; and about comfort. Did it feel comforting? Did you feel comforted when you woke up? Maybe it's hard to tell, because I can imagine it would have provoked some grief...
