I wish you were still sharing your dreams together, Erica.

What I did read about, in looking up some of the symbolism in your dream, was first of all the image of the blue station wagon. Dreaming of a station wagon might represent a domestic situation. The appearance of the color blue in a dream can signify tranquility, loyalty, or openness to something new. Or alternately, in a negative sense it can represent sadness or depression. It is interesting that your loved one appeared as a magician or wizard-like figure; dreaming of a magician can either portend happy possibilities or an unconscious force, such as repressed and overpowering feelings. Dreaming of a house (the house your loved one magically produced) is representative of your self. So, in your dream, your loved one was the one “driving” your self and you were making attempts (playfully and with various changes of direction) to reach that self. Also, the fact that the house was black and your loved one was dressed in black. The color black in a dream can represent several things: a need to explore your unconscious to gain greater self-knowledge; death and mourning; a lack of love and support; or more positively, a clean slate. Dreaming of cancer growths (and of course, in seeing his face there is there is that association, sadly, with your Dad’s illness) can represent unresolved emotional issues that are plaguing you, things that are “eating away” at you. Finally, we get to the number 2 in your loved one’s letter. The number 2 in a dream can represent partnerships, relationships, male and female energies, and/or the need to resolve complications in a diplomatic manner.

Anyway, Erica, that’s what I came across, and I don’t know much about dream interpretation or its validity. I apologize for my hesitancy but I didn’t want to dredge up any painful feelings for you. I think you've had quite enough of that.
