August 9 will be the five-year anniversary of my dad's death. I've only dreamed of him a few times, mostly right after he died. I think there was another dream recently, but I don't remember it now. But when the realization that he's gone catches me unawares, I still get that elephant-on-the-chest feeling. It's interesting to observe the mechanisms the mind uses to process loss.
Sorry, I guess that all sounds a bit clinical, but it's what came to mind when I read your post.
