Dear Dad,

I had another dream with you in it. I was a shape-shifter and was guiding people towards this winter resort that everyone was going to for some sort of celebration. I remember having wings- like an angel- and flying; spinning upwards into the sky to hover and get a birds eye view of the parking lot we were in and the forest around it.

I knew that Mom and Kat and Jessi were all already at the resort. Steve showed up and said something (I don't remember what) and I'd replied with something like,"You gotta catch me first!" Then I shifted into a white-gray horse and trotted away, through cars, when he got close. He disappeared soon-ish after, nut I knew that he had given up on trying to catch me and had gone to the resort.

The place was very isolated and had only one path- a boardwalk leading through the forest and to the resort. So I don't know why I was guiding people there or why they asked what way to go.. Maybe they couldn't see the pathway unless I told them where it was?

Anyways, you and our neighbor were suddenly with me- having come from the resort- ans you guys were asking where Jessi's hubby was. He was lost in the woods- this I knew. Our neighbor mentioned that it was getting foggy and you suggested that I fly up (oh yeah, I am a human again once Steve is gone) and see if I can spot him. I refused, knowing that if I did, you'd be gone when I landed again and as the fog took over.

I'd said to you,"No. I refuse. It's getting foggy, so I won't be able to see anything. Let's go back and ask others.

You were unhappy about it, but walked with me and our neighbor along the boardwalk  to the resort.

Just as we got on the pathway, we saw a few wolves (gray-white with hints of blue) up ahead. I said I'd deal with them and got on all fours and attempted to take them out from the side. (Maybe the wolves were the reason for the fog? And, why didn't anyone else get attacked?) The wolves saw me while you and our neighbor joined me. One of the smaller wolves lunged forward and bit your ankle. It didn't even pierce your skin, but I wasn't going to let it get away with it.

So I killed it. I  think I either grew in size or made them shrink, but I picked up the wolf in one hand and bit its back, letting it slowly bleed out as I tossed it to the side. A second wolf tried to attack me, but I picked it up, bit it and tossed it to the side as well, A third wolf howled and more showed up.

At this point, I think I had some awareness that I was dreaming, because I shifted into a demon. I'd been thinking," We're at a winter resort. It's cold out. These wolves thrive in the cold." So I was fire-y demon.. I had claws, a tail, black horns lit up in flames, my teeth were pointed and sharp and I had fire eyes. Literally, my eyes were fire.

Then I woke up.

It was a pretty awesome dream!
