I had a really sad dream about maggie last night. I'm pretty sure I was yelling or at least crying in my sleep-so I'm surprised I didn't wake David up.
Here is what happened in my dream:
David and I took maggie shopping with us. We couldn't take her in the store, so we tied her leash to something outside and went in the store. When we came out of the store, She was gone. I started calling her name, and that escalated into screaming her name. I kept asking people if they had seen a golden retriever go by but no one had seen her. Finally I asked someone and they said they just saw a man with a dog go in one direction.
I ran in that direction and saw a truck pulling out of a parking spot. In the back of the truck, sort of hanging over the tailgate, was the back half of maggie's body. I didn't know whether she was dead (and the man had killed her) or if she had just been tranquilized. I pounded my fists against the side of the truck and yelled for him to stop. He finally did, and I told him that the dog in the back was mine. Actually, I was doing more than telling him, I was crying and yelling at the same time. I was so scared she was hurt. I remember waking up at the point when I was crying and yelling, and because that is when I'm pretty sure I made a loud noise (like a sob or something).
I don't know why I had this dream. I can't think of anything specifically maggie related that has happened lately to make me have a dream like this. I can't think of a good interpretation of this dream. Anyone have any ideas?

Realistic interpretation Jeremiah. I have been told that what we dream about is really about us and not the thing or person in the dream. I see this as a continuation of previous dreams and a fear of loosing something very important to you. Unfortunatly, your job is to determine what it is that you feel has been "killed" or hurt or taken from you that makes you very sad. What ever it is, I will support you in this very difficult endeavor. Love you!
Thank you both for your interpretations. I think there is a bit of both of them that are true.
I am worried about her--she has been itching more lately, and I don't know if it is a food allergy, or if she just needs a bath. Well, she'll be getting her bath tomorrow, so hopefully that will help.
i'm sorry you had that dream, monk. i had a dream a last night that kiki ended up in the microwave with the herbie. she walked out of it a little dazed but ok in the end. when i woke up enough to realize what i was dreaming about, i started to think about what would really have happened. that's when i got into emotional trouble. maybe its good to stay more detached from "reality" sometimes.
love love
ps-it's snowing in boston!
