Ghosts of Christmas past???

It's really weird when you wake up immediate following a dream and remember it all clearly.

My mom and dad were in the kitchen and my mom was making coffee...or at least trying to. Not so strange, right? Except my dad's been dead for more than 20 years and here was his ghost standing next to my mom. He is the age he was when he died (67) and my mom is her current age (82).

I said that my mom was trying to make coffee because she has a 10-cup Mr. Coffee brewer where you pour water into the top of the machine, press a button and voila! coffee is brewed. Except my mom was getting confused (that happens more and more lately since she's past 80 years old) and she forgot where to pour the water. She was pouring it into the coffee carafe and spilling it on the hotplate.

My dad put his arm around her and kissed her as if to say, "It's okay, we still love you."

I don't usually have dreams about my dad and I don't know if this means anything but it scared me. Not the way I wanted to wake up on Christmas Eve morning.
