Bizarre dream woke me up- can't sleep now :(

I just had a dream where I was in New York, present day, standing outside gates to Central Park where there was a talk being held by locals on the events of 9/11. There were mixed emotions, people remembering lost friends/family in happier times as well as the expected sadness. After the talk, there was to be a torchlight procession to Ground Zero where they opened the gates and everyone could join them. I spoke to people along the way about my own feelings from the attacks, but we spoke about 'normal' things too like our kids and the weather etc. I woke up before I 'got' to Ground Zero, but am so spooked by it that can't get back to sleep.

I have wanted to go to New York since I was 14, my sister went in 2000 and actually went in 'Windows to the world' (think that's what it was called). I have decided that I really want to go this year, not specifically to go to Ground Zero although I feel a strong need to go there... just to appreciate New York for the wonderful place that it is.

I didn't lose anyone in the attacks but I was so shook up at the time, James had just started reception class and was too young to understand- I remember how sad I felt for ages after, what a state the world was in for that to happen. 🙁

Sorry if I have upset anyone, trying to think of happy thoughts!
