Sounds more like a ghost story than a dream - very coherent - and would make a good one.
Thank you! I dream in narratives when I am sleeping healthily; frequently they present as books or media that are pretty much the sort of thing I enjoy when awake. The most recent example would be Dionysos at the crime scene, I think, and before that a TV show I would in fact watch. I dreamed an entire Ghost Story for Christmas-esque episode once.
I love a wartime ghost story pref. with pilots, Robert Westall's are fantastic.
Thanks for the recommendation! Have you read Helen Dunmore's The Greatcoat (2012)? I loved it.
[edit] Westall wrote The Machine Gunners (1975); I don't think I've read that since elementary school, but it made an impression on me then. I associate it with Susan Cooper's Dawn of Fear (1970). I can't remember reading any of his other novels, but Blitzcat (1989) looks like the sort of thing I would. Thank you not just for the recommendation, but for connecting me to an author I'd lost track of!
