I’d had several dreams about a friend that passed. It’s never the same dream but each time i’ve had one, she gets angrier about me being there. It’s really weird. The last one was actually an event that was true but when i walked up to her in the dream she cursed me out and told me I didn’t belong there. It was strange because I remember the reality of that moment so well. I walked up to hand her something and she was excited about the sky being clear and a meteor shower in the forecast.

It's been a lot of years for me too and yes, it still hurts!
