   THIS is interesting:  I've noticed that (in my pre-40 years) back when I was   
   nearsighted (before getting lasik) I would *occasionally* (not often, but on   
   rare occasions) have dreams that seemed related as to whether or not I was   
   wearing my glasses,    
   whereas most often, the issue was never even considered.  A dream is mostly a   
   mental construct (some may say "spiritual" or such, but regardless, it's   
   recalled in the dreamer's "mind" as it were) so a mental image is either sharp   
   or fuzzy.  However,    
   AFTER having LASIK, I was rendered *instantly* far-sighted and thus "need" to   
   wear reading glasses regarding most text, so I get that feeling of a face   
   being too close to see clearly, and the feel of wanting to "push back" a bit   
   in order to see it more    
   clearly.

   It's my *impression* that *whatever* size it was, that size was relative to   
   *your* life, and the experiences in it, with respect to your journey (as to   
   where you've been, where you are, and where you're heading.)  That's just an   
   impression.  Honestly, it'   
   s all anyone can ever really share with another, right?   
      
   >     I do think this dream was spiritual in nature especially with the   
   crystal clear water.   
      
   Water = Life, no matter how one looks at it.  What KIND of life, however, is   
   often dependent upon one's relationship with it.  (Is one above it, beside it,   
   within it?  Is the water flooding up a room, or as a sea or lapping at the   
   shore of land, either    
   as a beach or a cliff, or is it calm as a lake, or choppy like a windy sea,   
   etc.?  I'm often curious as to why the Atlantic is far choppier / rougher than   
   the Pacific in general.)   
      
   >     Think the dream was saying people make mistakes or miss their mark in   
   life sort of like you and Gina.    
      
   There's a *fascinating* book on this concept:  "One" by Richard Bach.  The   
   part I'm referring to is when he and his then-wife Leslie were in a kind of   
   "astral vehicle" / "dream craft" that was represented as a floatplane, the   
   kind that lands on water    
   using pontoons (a "boat plane.")  Most of the book involves their landing and   
   taking off, and how they deal with targets they see below them.  What caught   
   my attention here was your reference to having missed a mark, which also plays   
   a bit in the    
   storyline of the book.   
      
   I've arrived at the idea that "there are no mistakes in life:  only   
   alternative paths of learning."  In my paradigm, it's a matter of having to   
   *reach* a mark, rather than having missed it.  Even when she and I were   
   "seeing" each other (in the sense of    
   talking to each other) I was always plagued with the question of HOW was I   
   going to ever support us as a married couple / possible family?  Believe it or   
   not, I'm *still* working on that, which is why I wrote that book,   
   tinyurl.com/TKC-freeview ...  If    
   someone wants to actually make a *donation* for their reading material, they   
   can visit tinyurl.com/ThyKingdomCome-Book1 -- The reason I use "free or   
   donate" is because that's the way I prefer to absorb whatever I read as well.
