I have been having a lot of dreams about my mother lately.  She died a year ago two days ago.  I didn’t think that I was going to end up writing about this, but for some reason I feel I need to get it down while I remember it.  Its not like they are nightmares or anything, she just worries about me and it really seems like she is alive.  She talks to me about my problems and we just chill out.  Im not even sure why I am having these dreams.  I am still having a hard time with it and I think I just was never able to get any kind of closure because of the lack of a funeral and just having  an akward “celebration” 8 months after she died.  With everything going on, I still feel selfish for some reason.  I feel like my girlfriend might think its annoying that I cant get over the fact that my mom is gone.  I feel like I am annoying for some reason.  Anyways, I got off topic for some stupid reason.  I wonder if someone is really dead if you dream about them.  If you are dreaming about someone and it feels 100 percent real, then who is to say that the person is not real?  Not alive?  Maybe thats what happens to people when they die.  Maybe people do become some sort of spirit form that helps people cope with the loss of their physical form.  What do you think?
