It's an amazing thing when your are so into your research, that you wear yourself out and hit the pillow out of exhaustion. Late nights into early mornings. Document after document. Mystery after mystery. It comes in a flood at times and your brain just can not shut down.
This recently happened to me. I was on a roll. I'd read just about every document that I had of my Civil War family (see in Menu above). I'd read it, but I couldn't find anything else. I was turning in circles and not getting anywhere. I couldn't figure out how to write about their story, what to include, or even how to get the intimate details that were missing. Some of you may believe in communication from beyond this world. If that's the case, then you would certainly believe that those ancestors came to me in my dreams. I saw their faces, I saw their documents and I read the words. In just a few minutes I had seen how each document related to the next one, and I had also seen a document that I am missing and how that document is the piece that links them all. While I'm still looking for that elusive document, I'm much more able to focus on the story of their lives. I've almost figured out how I want to write about them. I've acquired a larger picture. I don't know how much I believe in communication through dreams from beings, but I do know that my mind figured all this out in a dream either with or without the help from the beyond. If it was from ancient ancestors, I thank them, and welcome them any time.
