Heading 1

She has nightmares now although she never used to and sometimes when I'm there I hear her cry out in her sleep sometimes calling me by name but when she wakes

she says she can't remember what she's dreamed.

​​​

She used to dream that both of us were drowning.  She could hear me crying calling out her name.  She searches for me in the dark water until it's too late 

even to save herself.  

​​​

I seem to have outgrown my nightmares but many times at night I can't sleep and I lie there in the dark and listen for my mother's voice as we call out to each other...each of us in our distant dreams.
