Death of a Sister

cremainsI had a dream that Clara died, although actually she was Helen of Troy. We were sitting along with Achilles and the Atrius brothers in deck chairs suspended from the side of the ship. One minute we were laughing and then her chair fell into the sea and sunk so rapidly I could barely register it. I thought, if only she hadn't been tied to that heavy chair! Why was she tied to that chair?
I inherited her laptop. I went to Canada to her little apartment to find it; it was covered with stickers with birds and anarchist slogans and when I opened it up her account was locked with the picture of a kingfisher. I thought how sad it was I would never know her thoughts and how true it was to her character to have all these beautiful and cute birds on the computer.
Many other people close to me died in this dream, although their deaths were mostly a blur of various cancers.
