Allow me to indulge myself for just a minute

I have this dream. And I'm not 100% sure how it goes. But it goes something like this...

...I'm walking through a field and I have no idea what's going on in front of me or behind me. And I'm walking, for lack of a better term, very logically - which means that I'm pretty much just walking in a straight line. Except that when someone tells me to move, I do, without warning, and then, all of a sudden, I'm walking on a completely different path pretty unsure of what I was doing there to begin with. Then, I'm on a beach and it's completely isolated, no one is there. And so, in time with the waves, I start singing. And the funny thing is, when I was young, I used to make up all my own songs while just staring at the sea. But this time, the songs don't make sense (although I'm not sure that they ever really did). Which gets me thinking that the songs aren't supposed to make sense. They are just like jazz over and over in my head. And just when I think I'm the only person out there, I see a distant figure coming closer and closer until I can almost make out who it is. And then the figure speaks, and it says -

- Then, I wake up. And I can't remember anything of what was said. Or who the figure was. But in this reoccurring dream, I think that the figure always changes who it is. And the words must change too which is why I don't remember them. It's an unsettling dream. But not nearly as unsettling as the other reoccurring dreams I have been having where members of my family are dying. Phew.
