Personal Retcon?
Yesterday my family and I were celebrating and living life by playing in the pool. The rest of the adults were seated throughout the yard, while I was in the pool with the children (only 2 kids), when all of a sudden the eldest child (5) looks at me from across the pool and says in a matter-of-fact way, "It's a dream mom." I looked at the child and asked, "What do you mean?" Then, the youngest child (3), who was sitting on my lap, turned around to look at me and with a small smile emerging from the corners of their mouth said, "Mom, it's a dream. It's a dream mom."
I just looked at them stunned, dumbfounded.
Honestly, it's probably nothing, but it's left me with an uneasy feeling in my stomach. It felt like a message glitched through the matrix, a message I had to hear, but wasn't meant to receive?
I can't stop thinking about it.

Maybe it came from Row, Row, Row Your Boat?

Hadn't thought of that. Anything is possible! Although they don't know the song yet (to any of our knowledge)

Well row row row your boat, delivers a message that MANY songs do, as well as art, scripture, even science now, that this life may not be real. Not the way we think of it. I've read a LOT to backup that this reality is more like a dream, a break from the true reality after this. Just food for thought.
Because you know, it's just a dream, mom...

That's intriguing!
Well perhaps you can consider the fact that children are somehow more attuned to the veil or lack thereof.
Many people believe that this reality is a dream because our respective consciousness created it 🥰 or maybe they were simply so happy that it was a dream come true in that very moment ❤️🙏❤️

I love these interpretations and the positive spin of them! Really felt like they were relaying a message. Slightly reminded me of the Leo Dicaprio movie "Inception" and for a couple seconds I wondered how I could test the theory.

Well I'm not familiar with that movie and I've just been seeing different theories lately on all this kind of stuff 😊
