I don't dream often, but in the last few years most of my dreams have been about Daddy being alive again. Not that he never died. But that he died and now he just came back fully alive, in no better health than he was the last few years of his life, but alive.
The first year or so, I was delighted, but a lot of my thoughts were concerned with practicalities. Like "Ok, everyone thinks he's dead. We'll have to contact Social Security, and the insurance companies, and how will we explain it to everyone?"
Now I just accept that he's alive again and enjoy him, although I still have passing thoughts about the difficulty of explaining it.
My therapist just says that I obviously miss him.
