Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody after the show podcast.
I've noticed something lately when when I'm dreaming. I know
Jody doesn't like to hear stories about dreams, and this
is not going to alienate anybody, but you know, rightfully, rightfully,
so dream and dreaming about me again. Dream conversations really
are some of the most they're the worst because you
really can't follow along, But this one, I think you
(00:22):
can follow along with one piece of And it's just
something that I've noticed that when I dream now about
my grandmother or my parents, even when the next morning
I'm like, oh, why I dreamed about them, I'm not
making the emotional connection in the dream the way that
it used to be. It's like I would wake up
before and go, Wow, that was my dad. It felt
so real, But now it just feels normal, and I
(00:46):
guess it's dream and it's more people in it. Yeah.
And so in this case the dream that I had
last night, my grandmother's house in reality was built with
nothing around it when my grandparents first built it, and eventually,
years after they were in the house, an apartment complex
went up on one side of them, and then three
years later an apartment complex went up on the other
(01:07):
side of them, and so and I never knew any
different the entire time I was alive. Her house was
just surrounded by apartment complexes, and it just made it odd.
You know, I was always comfortable there, but it was
just add a whole lot of activity going on either side.
And you know, when my grandmother passed in twenty eleven,
really wanted to keep the house in the family. That
(01:27):
didn't work out. That's not the point of this podcast,
so that you know, But anyway, you know, it's a
special place. So I don't dream about it very often,
but I did the other night. And when I had
the dream. In the dream, it was kind of just
just nightfall. And as I'm walking to her carport, I
(01:49):
looked to the right and the left and I see
these massive, you know, signs like you see on the
interstate for motels. It wasn't a Motel six, but we'll
just call it like MOTI, so you can visualize one
of these big signs on a huge poll that says
Motel six and both are her carport. Yet well in
both of these apartment complexes that they had now sold,
(02:11):
and they were like massive, and I found myself thinking,
what now, Now, she's going to be really upset. You know,
it's because it's now you get these massive signs staring
at you from either side. But in the dream it
was I knew that my grandmother was gone and no
longer living there. My parents, however, in my head, I'm like,
I've got to take a picture and send this to
(02:32):
them so they can see there are going to believe,
you know, what's happened on either side of my grandmother's
house now. And so in the dream, I'm sending a
photo of that that I've taken on my phone to
my parents and you know, both of whom who have passed,
And there was no clique. You know. I guess in
years past, if I'd had that dream, it would have
(02:53):
been that punch in the gut because you realize they're gone.
And it's not that I'm not going to have dreams
where I missed them, but it was weird to me. Factual,
it was factual, and it was like it was fine,
and then I woke up like, oh, okay, that's interesting.
And I didn't see them eat both in the dream either.
I was just communicating it. It was he your grandmother
is still alive in the dream. No, that's what I'm saying.
It was she was gone, and it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Was, man, she would be so upset.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I brought that exactly. She would be so upset and
so and then the other thing that was odd, and
I just won't go much beyond this, saying one of
your exes had bought the house and was living in
the house. And she was like, she was like, well,
I can send you that, you know, send you the pictures.
I'm like, well, that's okay, I'll go ahead and shoot them.
And I said, are you still gonna are you still
(03:38):
gonna sell this house? Are you planning on on staying here?
She's like, no, this is I bought it and I'm
going to live here, okay. And that was that was one. No,
I don't want to go do that. No, no, no,
it was it was you know it within the last
you know, seven to eight years. We'll just leave it
(04:00):
at that.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh, how about not a married X correct? Okay?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
The twins? Mom? Right, Well, because it's not the twins
you make it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Oh, oh, the one.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm not trying to put together a puzzle. I'm trying
to be discreet, all right, This is a recent exay.
But anyway, my point is, you know, I mean, the
words sounds where I was trying to go.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But look, can I just jump in and say.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, because I was going to ask you about this, Jody.
You know you your dad passed and there were times
you would have dreams about your dad and you'd wake
up crying.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, I'm very few and far between that I dream
about my dad or anybody that's died. So when it
happens to me, it cannot be factual. I've never had
a dream that's somebody who's in the dream, who's I've
lost where it's so upset.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Let me send a text?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So I mean, I don't I can't relate to that,
like I don't have factual dreams about people who've died.
Whenever I have a dream about my dad, even if
I wake up upset, which I know you know that happens.
I love it, I live for it. I don't I
don't want to wake up from it. And when I
wake up, That's one of the things I'm upset about
(05:23):
is that it's over. Yeah, does that makes sense because
it's like, oh my god, I got to have them
for a little while. Even if it was two minutes,
and it felt like an hour's dream. It's probably only
two minutes long sort of a thing. So I guess
what I'm saying is it doesn't mean that your dream
game has changed, because I think it can come back.
I think that you can have an emotional dream again
(05:45):
where you feel their presence.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So because I really anytime I've had those like you,
I like them. You want to you want to stay
in those dreams. Although that's the weird thing about a
dream is once you start to focus on it and
your conscious mind starts to take over, you have one
of those moments where you the dream goes away. Yeah,
I'm just curious. So why did she buy the house?
I have no idea trying to get closer. Yeah, no,
(06:11):
it just it was for whatever reason. No, I mean
it's if I were to infer It was that.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
There's no inferring.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
It's a dream, Okay, that I guess you and her
had bought the house together. Oh right, I'm serious, I
am serious. And you had moved out, and and and
and and so that was my question as.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, are you remember Sam? Though this is all fact,
not feeling right right, It was just.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Hey, I've moved out a few times, but none of it.
The only thing that really emotionally went WHOA was seeing
these massive signs in either apartment complex next door and
wanting to send that to my parents and I just
the reason I asked is what a dream analyst say, Okay, well,
you're just desensitized now, or what I was worried for
(07:00):
a minute, it is something wrong with me. This is
not I'm now treating them. It's like they're still here,
or they're still around, or I don't think whatever subconscious
way of you coping guy said could be because you know,
I every now and then, I remember telling Jody this,
and it's been many years, probably ten years since the
last time I had a dream about my grandmother. She
(07:21):
passed in twenty eleven, but I remember it was longing
to see her again. In the dream. I was excited.
It's like, Wow, you're not gone, and you know, that's
what I would expect to happen in these kinds of dreams.
But even like in the last couple of weeks, I've
had dreams that my dad has actually been in where
I've had conversation with him, and it didn't grab me
as the WHOA wait, you're back right, And.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I don't think you hear expect the same feeling from
every dream. You just can't. None of them make sense anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I guess that really is what it's about. It just
seems strange to me that that how is it that
sometimes I'll make that connection and sometimes I don't, Because
you know this, Jody. In everyday life, there are moments
where thinking about my dad will just hit me out
of the blue, no explanation, you know, no reason, it's
just you know, I'm missing him or whatever at that moment.
(08:10):
But in the dream, as though life lately it's been
like life has gone on. But you know, the thing is,
I understand that there are people who research these and
I think that the human brain is still like a
great mystery forever. And as tempting as it would be
to ask somebody who analyzes dreams what does that mean,
(08:32):
I would be afraid that I would be getting very
subjective answers. Yeah, and you're probably gonna get if you
ask five different people, you get five different answers.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, it's true, Alex Sam's answer. Maybe it's your way
of coping.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, I like that. I guess so.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Now that his Axes moved into your grandma's house.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah. Hey, I bought the house too, Yeah right exactly.
You obviously were very nice by letting her stay in it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
