Dreams

On the 12th of December (I believe it was), I dreamt that James called me and told me he was deploying for Afghanistan. In my dream I had absolutely nothing to say to him. I was scared and speechless of his leaving and so shocked that it came so soon.

After waking up, I thought nothing of the dream. At the end of the day, James got online and we were just casually talking like we had been doing everyday.

All the sudden James said, "Kiley, I am leaving soon."

My dream came true... the only thing was I wasn't speechless.

"There is so much I want to say, but I've said it all," I said. "Then, tell me something new," He said.

"I had a dream about you last night. You called and told me you were deploying." James didn't have much to say about that, but we both kind of ignored it.

From there I told him to be safe, always call his family first (and then me), to listen to "our" songs and think of me and always know you're never alone.

Later that night I went to sleep and about midnight I woke up after dreaming that James was online (even though he was suppose to be gone by now). I got online to see if this dream was true. Sure enough James was online.

He was writing a letter and doing final goodbyes to his family before going to bed.

James deployed December 14th.

A few days after New Year's I had another dream. I don't remember any of it, but when I woke up I was scared to death and all I could think about was James. I knew that it had to relate.

I hadn't really talked with James in a few days so I sent him a facebook message saying, I woke up with an uneasy feeling about him and to be careful. And that I am praying for him.

A few minutes later he wrote back telling me they were heading out on a mission and that he would talk to me when it was over. And "thanks for the heads up."

I went all day waiting to hear from him. James made it through safe :)

On Friday the 8th of Jan. James called me via Skype. It sure was good to hear his voice.

Friday night I dreamt that I was in the unknown place, with harsh living conditions and getting ready for bed. All of the sudden I heard a gun shot and I took off running to see who it was.

I honestly can't say I tied this one back to James because he wasn't really in it except for me thinking about him when I woke up.

On Saturday, I talked with James online and asked what his plans for the day were. He said nothing really, but told me about his day after talking to me via Skype.

Let's just say the dream and his day tied together.

I don't understand why every dream I have about James comes out true to a point in the end. My mom said maybe I was guardian angel or maybe fate is what is causing this.

At times it's hard to have them all come true, when no other dream of mine has ever came true, but at other times it's like I know he is still safe and protect him.

I'm still praying. Everyday.
