Dam. That hit close . Happy mom dreams are the worse.

When I was pretty young my dad taught me how to recognize when I was dreaming and how to use that knowledge to affect my dreams. I didn't really care at the time, he was way into it though.

After he died, it was really hard for me when he visited, until I remembered what he'd taught me. When I finally told him he was dead during one of his visits he just said "I know" and it completely changed the dynamic of his visits. That was many years ago, I'm almost as old as he was when he passed. Now, when he visits we just hang out and enjoy each others company. I get to tell him about his grandchildren he never got meet and he gives me advice or at least listens to my struggles. I don't know if the dream version of him is real or not (I choose to believe it is), but it doesn't matter. Dad dreams went from being my worst dreams to my absolutely best dreams.

I'm sorry if you lost someone, and I'm sorry if it hurts. Please know that some day you may come to cherish seeing then in your dreams.

This is so wholesome, thanks for sharing! I might have to learn how to lucid dream just for this

I got them a lot in the beginning, and less now 6.5 years later. I'm not a fully lucid dreamer but I have some awareness. I'm always so relieved when I see my dad again. In the beginning it was both happy and stressful, especially before we knew his cause of death (took months and months to get the report) and I felt like I had to warn him about everything. I hope to be aware enough of a dream to interact with him more deliberately one time.

Ya, it took me a few years after he died before I realized I could somewhat affect my dreams. After rereading what I wrote, I'm kinda wondering if me telling him he was dead was actually more for me, in accepting that he was actually dead.

When it comes to lucid dreaming, I am by no means an expert. In my own dreams I can mostly just realize that I'm dreaming, which comes in handy when it comes to bailing out of nightmares, or extending dreams that I'm enjoying. I've definitely lost a step with age, I feel like I used to have more control.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
