Personally, I feel one of the reasons God allows us to dream is to be able to keep seeing certain people. Aside that it could be helpful in guiding and directing us, I feel God wants us to keep seeing certain people even when they're gone. And I have my reasons for saying that, my grandmother.

My grandmother is the very kind, caring and gentle type. When she died, I felt so bad, it was like something was removed inside of me. I really felt it. Several months after she was buried, I dreamt of her. And till now, I can still remember a bit of it. I was in her kitchen sitting down, maybe monitoring the food on fire when she came by, it was her voice that I heard first,*"shift back jare."* Just the same way she'd talk anytime I'm sitting close to the fireplace. She grabbed a stool for herself and sat down, suddenly as if she saw something her countenance changed and she said, *"Toyosi, when did you grow this big."* The voice, the shakiness and all felt so real.
I looked at her and said,*"Grandma, I miss you."* She just smiled, nod her head and held my hands. I've missed that shaky, tender hands of hers.
But you know, dreams have a way of stopping abruptly, I woke up looking feeling sad. The worst and funniest part is, I couldn't remember not replay it all. I could barely hear her speak, I struggled to remember that look she had on jer face when she held my by the hand. That was a dream I would have done anything possible to keep every single bit of it. But then, I could only recall it in part. So, when I think of a world here it is possible to record and replay dreams, to me it goes beyond just the excitement and all, to me it's about being able to sit down quietly somewhere, press play and then she will show up with that smile, that voice, and that tender hands holding mine.

But then again, there's the disadvantages I'm thinking of too, in as much as it would be good an help me replay things, and even see things I might have missed, I also think it might pull me back, not allow me move forward and keep me stranded in the past I was supposed to let go of.
But if the opportunity comes to be able to keep one dream, the way it was. If I am able to store just one, it would be that dream with my Grandma. I know I will still feel the pain of losing her, while also being able to still get to see her, but then, it would remind me of how deeply she loved and care for me.

I think that swiftness with which our dreams comes to a stop is the most destablizing thing. You'll find yourself stuck with the questions of "What if."
What if I had dreamt some more? What would have happened? Would I have gotten a word from her? Would she have shown me something I needed to be careful about in real time. So many questions, but like you said, the opportunity that we have had to even dream of them is something we should be thankful for and not cling on to for the reasons you have provided.
Thanks for sharing your response to the prompt. I enjoyed reading from you.
The way dreams suddenly come to an end gives birth to all of those, "what ifs"
Countless times have I had to ask myself those too, I really wished the dreams would last a minute more, a scene more. But then, we should be grateful for those little moments as well.
This did touch me, thanks a lot for your thoughtful comment.
I feel you Aunty...
💯❣️💯
Dreams can help us stay in touch with those that have left the face of the earth but then I have also heard that seeing the dead in the dream is bad omen.
You're right about that....
And about it being bad omen, well. I really can't say 😁.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
💯❤️💯
Am really sorry for your lost, it's never easy to lost someone you love dearly, well it's another think to dream and it's another thing to find your self swimming in that mood.
Some dreams tie down while some gives you the zeal you ever wanted.
I really enjoyed my time on you post,
Good write ups 😊😊😊
Thanks a lot 👍.
And you're right about that, some can indeed help be a push to do something great/better.
Thanks a lot for your kind and thoughtful comment.
💯❤️💯
You're welcome 😊😊
❤️❤️❤️
Hmmm! This is so good that you saw her again one last time in your dreams.
I don't even remember what my grandma looks like because I was still a child when she passed and I was told that I was her favorite.
Thanks for sharing
Awwwn, thanks a lot, I was glad I did.
And sorry about that too .
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
💯❤️💯
Mama's dream can't be forgotten like that if dreams were to be recorded.
Thanks so much for sharing
Exactly sir.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
❤️💯❤️
Yeah I had that experience of the joy of seeing someone you loved but lost to the hands of death. It feels like you not waking up from that dream or having the access to return to it not to talk of replaying it anywhere anytime.
It is what I would love to have as well if at all it's possible to record and replay. I guess my folder will be filled up and not one like yours
Smiles, it's good to see that you can relate well with me.
The feeling 🤦. It is well 😁.
Ohh, I see. Just be careful, it might have limited storage space 😜😁😜😁.
Thanks a lot for stopping by Momma.
💯❤️💯
😂 it is that space that may be the problem so it doesn't end up been like that my video edit that I had to delete videos and it ended up affecting the editing I've been doing for days.
There should be enough storage so I don't go and delete my favourite dream unknowingly 😁
Still thinking about that 😞😔😞. Sorry bout it 😔
That's the best thing o, before you will keep searching and searching for a particular dream and then find out you've deleted it when trying to free space.
😂 you get.... So if it has unlimited storage then it will be better
