This is actually something that was very interesting to me. I'm not a huge dream person, but I have had a lot of weird Richard dreams, too and I thought maybe I should share this one with you. One of them is very striking and I will never forget it. Like you said, it was so real. It was my only dream ever that didn't have a setting- it was just some unknown, vague, "space." Richard was there in full body but wearing clothes that weren't really familiar to me. Richard just smiled his smile we all know and love and gave me a hug, and that was it. But the strangest part was that unlike any other dream I've ever had, there was an unearthly emotion attached to it before I even saw Richard there. It was impossible to describe other than it was excitement, happiness, and peacefulness all rolled into one emotion. And it was a very intense emotion. It seemed to me more attached to the place than the subject of the dream, and I remember wishing that I could stay in this place forever. When I woke up I felt "better," I don't know how to explain it. In my heart I have to believe that it was a little more than just a dream.
