This morning my dog woke up whining at 1:30 am. She continued, but remained on the bed. At 2:30 she jumped down and walked around the house whining. I called her to come back, but she stood at the door and continued. I got up and let her out thinking she needed to go potty. She did not, she ran around the outside of the house for 20 mins then came back in. We both settled back down to sleep about 3, when I had the dream. I felt a hand on my leg, I asked who it was, for I knew I had locked the door. It was John. He pulled me out of bed and held me, it felt so good. I told him I missed him, what was he doing here. He took me outside, we stood by the truck, by the tailgate, he continued to hold me, then told me that I needed to take care of some things on the truck. I know, I told him, please don't leave. He said he had too, then faded away. I woke up from the dream knowing that it was just a dream. As the morning wore on I put the dog acting weird and the dream together. I wonder if it really was just a dream. Yesterday the check oil level light came on, it's time for an oil change I determined. Last week I had a low tire, upon putting air in the tire I discovered that the tires are dry rotted and will need replaced soon. There has been an unusual sound in the front end when turning, I need to get it checked out. Today I had the oil changed and front end greased, the sound is gone. I'll price tires soon and a mechanic friend of mine will check the front end next week. My best friend tells me this was John's way of taking care of me, that I need to be more open to his presence, like our dog is. Not sure I can handle his presence if it is just a spirit, I want more. Whatever it is, I have been spooked all day about it, trying to keep my mind open, it's hard, so easy to close it all out.
