Dreams 40 years old

At some time in her childhood, June had a dream that has never left her. At the time she asked her mother if the things in the dream had ever happened. "No", she said, and June had to leave it at that.
Then yesterday she looked in the huguenot book we received at the Cevennes conference. In it was described how, during the desert years, huguenot children were taken from their families and placed with catholic nuns.
Now June's dream was of a nun holding a tray of sand. Something clicked! and June recalled the fear that was associated with the dream.
Readers should realise that many years ago June's sister Marion traced the family roots and found French huguenot connections. See John Gasson and Rachel Head. And we now live in France...
