last one was me, forgot to log on. BTW, my dad died about six years ago too; in fact loads of relatives died within a few years so that my family shrank enormously. It's starting to grow again now that my brother and sister-in-law had a baby 3 years ago and are expecting another in a couple of months.

I do sometimes have dreams with different dead relatives in; for some reason one of my grandmas is always trying to annoy me but I always laugh at her. This grandma and her husband both died close together, both 85 years old, and my mother and I redecorated their house soon after to make it look younger. Just after that I had a lucid dream in the morning and asked my grandad what he thought of the new paint; whether he was upset that we changed all his life's work, he just laughed and said he wished he'd painted it like that himself. My grandma used to go to church a lot so I asked her if she could tell me about the afterlife and God etc, she shook her head and laughed at me like I was an idiot and they both faded away with her laughter following. Bloody typical of her to make me wait till I die to find out, just because she had to!
