Cau Nam was young and healthy. His hair was black and his smile was wide and exuding happiness.
He sat across from my Dad in the living room of my parents' home and they talked. Dad asked Cau Nam if he liked my book and told Cau Nam that he really liked the ending. Cau Nam smiled and said it was OK. They talked more about things. They laughed and had a good time.
I was sitting in the family room watching TV but was kind of paying attention to their conversation. I wanted to ask Cau Nam if he had read my book and how can he do that. But I waited.
When Cau Nam stood up and ready to leave, I tried to talk to Cau Nam. But there was something of a flash. An electrical shield of some sorts that popped up between Cau Nam and me. It prevented my questioning and it was like I had violated some sorts of protocol.
For years, I have always had dreams about people that I know that had passed away. It started when Dung's Grandma came into my dreams. That must be about 10 years ago. Then I saw Nga's Mother. Then Man's wife Phuong. And there were several others. They usually appeared in my dreams, when I least expected. Usually they don't talk directly to me. They appeared and talked to someone else with me being in the same room or nearby. They usually looked at me when they talked about things that I could have care less for. Often times, before they went away, they leave me with some sorts of coded message. Messages for someone else that I could not understand their meanings.
Usually I do not ever interrupt the sommunication and relay of the message. I just received it without any question. Last night was different. I interrupted Cau Nam and wanted to ask him how did he know about my book and of what I had written. The flash interfered and did not allow me to finish my questions to Cau Nam. And no answers were given. I guess I was not supposed to ask, just to receive.
When I woke up from these dreams, I can remember them vividly and can verbatimly repeat the message.
Last night was no different. I woke up immediately after the dream at 3:22AM and told Dung that Cau Nam again had appeared with another message. His message was very clear: 2-0-4-2.
I got no idea what it meant but he just showed me the numbers 2042. No further instructions.
I tried to call Anh Quoc to ask him the meaning of 2042, but somehow I sent a message out to Anh Kiet instead. Anh Kiet called and I related to him the dream. He got no ideas what the numbers meant. I did finally talk to Anh Quoc. He had no ieas either.
Well, I guess one of these days, it would come to mean something to someone. Or it could be just my cold medicine that created the dream.
For whatever the reason may be. It was good to see Cau Nam again,
