owen's dream...

jeff, i don't mean to rip off your post material, but i had to mention this. my almost 3 year old son has been having a lot of dreams lately. he usually wakes us up sometime in the middle of the night and in his limited dialogue tries to explain the dream he just had.
me: did you have a dream owen?
owen: yeah
me: what did you dream about?
owen: jesus
me: you dreamed about jesus?
owen: yeah, right there (pointing behind me)

i half expected to turn around and see jesus in the room...would have been a little bit wierd.

me: was it a good dream or a bad dream?
owen: bad dream
me: well, go back to sleep and have good dreams!
owen: ok

the sequence happened again later in the night. this time allison got up and said that he's been dreaming of angels. a higher calling perhaps? was it the samuel story all over again??
it occured to me that when we went to church that morning, he seemed particularly enamored with the statues in the church sanctuary and kept pointing to various ones. this is the only explanation i have right now.
