The Medium contest dream

It was 1991, and my father had just passed away. I had a dream in which I was walking in a mall, and there on the other side, walking in the same direction, was my father. He looked 20 years younger, or as I'd supposed he'd preferred to appear, and we each stepped on parallel, adjoining escalators, going up. The entire time my father looked at me, unsmiling, but reassuringly. I got off at the next level, but my father's escalator kept going, as he continued to give me that look. When I awoke, I felt as if he had just given me this message- "Don't worry, it's OK."
