2025
This was a very short visual dream that i had shortly before i awakened yesterday morning (19 September 2025) ...
Ches (or indeed 'Chas' as i used to mistakenly call him) was showing me silently around (and indeed the inside, which was rather cluttered) a white van - and when we reached the off-side of such a vehicle, 'Manchester United' was rather stylistically inscribed in large fairly slim red paint - which came as quite a surprise to me, as Ches had been a very loyal Manchester City fan, for all of his life as far as i know...
Anyway, we must have both got into our respective front seats before Ches then proceeded to drive out of the curb/road-side parking slot - where other vehicles were parked both in front and behind - and with another vehicle trying (unsuccessfully, as it happened) to block his egress (but not without both vehicles bumping into / scraping alongside one-another...
And that was it basically...
Ches had been a postman who had passed over earlier this year whilst in his early 50's, with a cancer that seemed to suddenly take hold of him...
He rented a garage close to where i live - one that he used purely to store all sorts of metal objects/appliances - objects/appliances that he used to take apart before weighing them in, at a scrap metal merchants presumably...
I used to chat with him quite often, when returning from walks etc - mainly about football, which he seemed to be very knowledgeable about - but also about other things, of course...
And although he didn't tell me directly, upon receiving his cancer diagnosis he seemed to know that his time was up basically - he sort of indirectly told me by saying that it was his wish to Help others (his goalie daughter in particular, seemingly) frompt tuther side of life - something that surprised me really, as i hadn't realised that he had embraced such an awareness...
He used to go to both away and home games - both domestic and international - and his stash of collected/given objects/appliances helped to fund it all...
He even went to the States once, when Manchester City toured there during off-season - as well as to places like Russia during Champions League games - so very much travelled around the world to watch them play, and support them, as the very loyal supporter / season-ticket-holder that he was...
So, why did Ches show me Himself in such a way, during such a dream??? - well, given that such a dream was truly a Communicative one, i can only assume that he is going with the flow of the Circumstances that He know finds Himself in - maybe it simply represents a necessary act of Balancing in order to help Him improve such personal Circumstances, as strange as that may seem...
...Even though, from my personal perspective, he never seemed to show an aversion to Manchester United, in any detectable way at all - and maybe the difficulty He had getting such a Ford Transit type of van out of its parking spot represented his determination/resoluteness to be successful in His presumably Assigned task??? - in spite of any obstacles He encountered, one supposes...
