Several years ago two of my kids went no contact with me. The circumstances are complex but I can understand their perspective and I respect their decision. It wasn’t entirely undeserved.

About a year after that I had a dream where the three of us hashed out our differences and reconciled. And what makes this dream stand out among all my other dreams is that was the first and only lucid dream I’ve ever had. I remember every detail vividly and I remember having complete agency and full control over everything I said and did. I haven’t been able to recreate that experience since.
