Hi praying_in_GA - I have had those dreams! Me looking for my (MLC) husband...I was always losing him in a crowd! Looked everywhere, could never find him, or I would find him, then I'd lose him again. Here's one that will give you goose bumps...

I had had a recurring dream for several years. I was somehow trapped in this large basement (clean, dry, mind you, but a basement) with no door, except an opening that was way up too high to get out of without a ladder or something. I was always wondering where my H was, why wasn't he there to help me get out, where was he??

Well, the last time I had that dream was about a month or so ago, after 10 months of DB'ing and waiting around for my MLC'er to come out of the fog (not yet). This time, I was in the basement again, but suddenly sprouted wings -- and FLEW out that door way up there! What does that MEAN?! My therapist was floored. Yes, it means I realized I can take care of myself. I don't need him to be ok. How's that for GAL'ing?

Maybe you will have a similar dream too. 7 weeks is not a long time. Be kind to yourself. But keep trying. You are not a failure.
