I dreamt of a street in England. I saw my soul mate's motor cycle hit a tree.  there was a yellow VW beetle parked on the side of the road, it appeared to be dark with street lamps lit.  He hit his head. then I heard him calling my name and saw him walking around my dad's house in Canada saying it's a mistake. It's all a mistake. He kept reaching for the phone, but he had no substance and his hand passed right through the phone.  He was walking around my dad's bedroom, my bedroom, I followed him downstairs and the whole time he was telling me it is a mistake, it's all a mistake.  when I awoke it was 2:30ish am EST.
