Dealing's with Dave

I had a couple of interesting things happen last night.  All my "dealings" with David have all been at night when I'm half awake half asleep.  First as I was asleep, I smelled a strong cologne smell, like when Dave would just get out of the shower and spray on his cologne.  He had many varieties.  It was so strong that I woke up, however of course when I woke up it was gone.  But I was comforted by the thought that he had learned a "new trick" and was showing it to me.  Then I dreamed that someone was knocking softly on my bedroom door.  I kept trying to say come in thinking it was Dayna, because she gets sick tummies a lot and comes and knocks on my door.  But I was half asleep and couldn't talk.  Then it happened again.  I woke up a bit and listened, but it didn't happen again.  so I went back to sleep it happened one more time, and I woke up even more and said come in, but no one was there.  Silly new tricks he's learning, to try to communicate with me and let me know he's still around.  I love it! I especially like the cologne trick.  I just have to wonder what new trick he'll come up with next.  Moving stuff around maybe?  Who knows.  I'll keep you posted. 
You know something interesting.  My whole life as far back as I can remember, I would get terrified at night and think I see, hear and smell things when I was half asleep and it was very frightening.  Even when Dave was next to me, I'd get very frightened at night.  But now, I haven't been afraid at night since Dave's death.  Yes I still experience things that go bump in the night, but they no longer scare me.  Because now I can just say it was Dave and feel safe.  I also know he watches over me at night and keeps the bad scary things away.
Oh I forgot to tell you about another thing that happend one night about a month ago.  I was on my side and I felt a strand of hair being pulled, then I felt someone laying next to me.  I woke up and it was gone.  I said out loud, "Dave was that you".  Of course it was Dave, who else would it be? 
So anyway, that's what's been going on at night.  I don't mind at all, it's fun.
