The Most Memorable Dreams: The Dreamt Of My Father

I think one of the most memorable dreams I have ever had would be a dream about having a father. I was adopted at 19 months old from guatemala by my two mothers. Having only experienced having two moms, I have always wondered what it would be like to have a father. I had never dreamt of my “father” until about three months ago. I had just graduated high school, and was beginning to look to the future and pondering what that might hold. I do not tend to remember dreams very well, but this specific dream has stuck with me. The dream was like a movie, me watching from the outside. It starts with me sitting at a coffee shop doing something on my computer. A man walked up to me, he seemed to be in his mid-thirties. He was hispanic but was athletic

He looked like he cared about his appearance he was wearing nice clothes. He is talking to “me”, I can feel myself watching my dream wanting to know what this girl and this man was talking about. Yet, I could only see that they were convensating. It then seemed to flash to me bringing someone home to meet my parents however, instead of bringing them home to my two mothers, I was bringing them home to a mother and father. At this point in my dream, I was no longer looking in, but it felt as if I was living it. This is the first time I see my father’s face, he seems to have a soft eyes, and his smile looks like mine. I saw something and he laughs and I remember thinking his laugh even sounded like mine. Then my dream then changes back into me looking in on the dream. I am watching myself getting married. He is walking me down the aisle and before that he is giving me advice on marriage. We look so much alike. Then, I finally hear his voice. His voice is deep and strong, he says that I will always be daddy’s little girl. I want to hear more, his voice is something that sounds so familiar but it then flashes into him in a what seems to be younger than I’ve previously seen. He is kissing my birth mother goodbye. I never see her face, but I watch as he waves

I like to think there are certain moments you want your parents to be part of. My mothers have always been extremely supportive and loving but I have always wanted to feel what it was like to have a father. I am someone who thinks of what my wedding will look like all the time, but the one aspect I can never think about is who will walk me down the aisle. Society has showed us that the father should always do that. However, I will never have my father walk me down the aisle. My dream represents what I hope my birth father is like. My dream brought my imagination to life in something that made me sad but happy to watch. Another thing I have trouble with is that I do not share any DNA with my family, although I have learned that DNA does not make a family. I have no idea of what I will look like in the future, having my father look like me is an affirmation that I look like my parents. Having him be happy and smiling, is showing that I would hope he would be happy to know me. Finally, I think having him be part of the military is another important aspect that I had never considered had meaning until I was talking to a friend about the dream. I think I dreamt of him being in the military because in my mind the military is a honorable occupation something that requires bravery and honor. In reality, my father was probably none of these things as guatemala leaves men with very few option other than gangs. Yet, this is the man
