I meant to ...Thank you all for your participation. I meant to post this earlier, but got involved with other things. Anyway here are the answers:<br /><br />The Lightening Storm-- was definitely a dream, but the imagery was so strong that I still remember it vividly.<br /><br />The Big Treehouse -- Sure seemed real, in fact maybe I did see something like it, but misinterpreted as a big green treehouse. But it might have been a dream.<br /><br />The Confusion of Words -- probably was real, but my parents couldn't remember it-- why would they if they were just casually conversing. The memory for me seems very dreamllike.<br /><br />The Haunted House -- I definitely remember seeing this house on more than one occasion and being very afraid, although my young mind probably exaggerated much of the scariness. I recall my mom shushing me on the bus when I saw the nuns and very audibly cried, "Look at the ghosts." In my mind I was connecting them to the "haunted house" that I was so afraid of and I had never seen a nun before.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-59578477579528881112010-01-16T03:01:12.316-08:002010-01-16T03:01:12.316-08:00Lately I dream of family who have passed on....per...Lately I dream of family who have passed on....perhaps they are trying to tell me something.<br />At the present am on holiday in Spain but missed my blogging friends so found this Internet station.<br />Take care.<br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-23479605621395001662010-01-15T23:24:21.870-08:002010-01-15T23:24:21.870-08:00I think the Big Tree house is real.

(No reason for me to enter into this lacking confidence, eh?)...<br /><br />THE BIG TREEHOUSE: "Dream." (It feels similar to dreams I've had.)<br /><br />THE LIGHTNING STORM: "Dream." (I've lived 50 years and never held "jagged shards of lightning", and frankly, color me just a little skeptical that such things exist. Ha!)<br /><br />THE HAUNTED HOUSE: "Dream." (This remark made it seem dreamlike to me: "I looked across the street to what I had seen before but always tried to avoid seeing.")<br /><br />A CONFUSION OF WORDS: Definitely "Real."<br /><br />These are my final answers. <br />Where's my prize?<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" McMeStephen T.
