The photo is beautiful Tom. This story is like a nightmare Tom and I think you should be grateful to be woken from from it. Arriving at the pearly gates in your PJs and all that pain gone because you actually feel nothing now. I always think a little pain means we are still alive which is a good thing. Love Dolly x x x

So you were slipping into Heaven and your poor wife was going through Hell. Lol. This was a fantastical journey. I liked the premise of it (with the exception of dying.) Very well written. Gretchen

    It was but a dream and she was dreaming perhaps of someone else, like me as I can see that happening
    Maybe that is for another piece.

Wow, again, I don't know what I like best, the writing or the picture. But both of them together make for a fantastic presentation of art, beauty, and a wonderful sense of humor at the end. Thanks for sharing.

I love this photo. It looks like a painting. Did your really dream this on a night when your wife dreams of Hell or this this just Tom being Tom? It would be worderful to dream of heaven. I can't imagine dreaming of Hell. I have a problem picturing you in a gown. Maybe you could say tugged on your sleeve.

    Gown/ nightshirt?
    I was cold. Good point, though.
    And where I dreamed of heaven she saw me in hell, perhaps?

An amazing photo and an engaging piece of prose. I'm very jealous of your habitat. Your dreams are excellent and then we are brought nicely down to earth, literally, by your wife. And that's what wives are for, among other things!

I guess our dreams may forecast what we feel our chances are getting into a positive afterlife. If we can catch St. Peter napping, well, maybe there's a chance. The wife in the story needs to not eat spicy foods before sleep.
