It's like dreaming of parallel universes. I had a completely different set of dreams that ended a while ago. There are people I met in those dreams, and events that occurred, that do not exist in these new dreams.
For example: in the first set of dreams my father was killed when I was a boy by a man named Klaw, whereas here in these new dreams he is killed when I am a grown man, by a man called Bucky Barnes.
Thank you for your condolences, goddess Bast. And yes, it does, strangely. I suppose by not having any memento of my birth parents here, to have this from the dreams is at least something akin to that, even if they were different people.
