Another Dream

Okay, I had a kind of strange dream earlier. In it, typical dream stuff (as of late) Bryant is in the dream but he's not, and I know why. He doesn't talk and doesn't really even look like himself , everything is blurred, like in many dreams. So I know I am dreaming and getting ready for another bad dream in my dream. Nothing much happens, but at the end of the dream, we go outside. It's not a familiar place or house but seems familiar enough in the dream so I'm not wondering where I am or anything. It's kind of not relevant I guess at least in the dream. So we go outside and he's in his wheelchair and we stop to look at a garden. The garden is in black and white and basically non-descript. Not beautiful, but more barren. At this point, the dream becomes clear and not blurry and now there IS sound. Bryant gets out of his wheelchair and walks. I rush to his side to help him walk but he brushes me off to stand by himself. He looks at the garden and then turns around to face me. I suddenly am aware other people are in the dream, possibly another class of children on a field trip. I try to block him so they do not stare at his face as was the case sometimes in real life. I was always trying to protect him when really, he was my protector. Again, in the dream, Bryant brushes me off, to face the children. They all engage in dialogue with him (pleasantries mostly). It is at this point I realize I am not wearing any clothes. Sorry for that visual people :) Of course, I am stunned and look up to see a gardener who doesn't seem to notice or care and I ask refer to him as Mr. Rogers (Bryant used to watch Mr. Rogers as a small child). I say "Mr. Rogers! Can you get me a robe?" He nods and goes to get one. The teacher seems irked (of the field trip kids) but the kids don't seem to care or notice and continue chatting with Bryant. Then I wish Bryant would do something, like smile his infectious smile or show some type of emotion or say ANYTHING to me and he turns to me and touches my eyes. He does not speak. I close my eyes and say "Oh Bryant, yes, yes, my eyes" and then I wake up.

My feeling is that Bryant is trying to tell me that although he's not here physically now he is everywhere and I need to start "seeing" again. Not having clothes might suggest that I am completely vulnerable right now and want to "cover up" my emotions but no matter what I do, I must confront them. I am thinking that the garden signifies things I need to work on and that Bryant wants me to.

Any thoughts? Sorry for any typos but I am half asleep.
