And I wad like a land above land.when we seen the stones it was then like we kept going and at the end we were meeting up with some one. And the grave stones kept going in a perfect line.it seemed foggy but dim darkness.

  2. I dreamed that I was with my sister in law and her ex and my son. We were in a horse carrige like Cinderellas. My sister in law had a white purse. And we went up on this landscape. And I felt I been there before. I didn’t want to go it seemed dreary. I saw two or three unnamed stones. And saw one with a name but can’t recall it and my sister in law was with me looking at them.
