A dear friend passed away about a week ago. Last night I had a dream of her. It was more a regular dream. She was a person who liked to move. When we'd be driving around, she'd say to me, "I used to live there." In the dream, simply, I was helping her move. Helping her get settled in a new place. I was helping her getting organized like the way I would while she was alive -- such as making sure she had her medication filled, that she didn't lose her purse, etc. Also, a comforting part was that her dog (which she lost a few months ago) was there with her.
I know, in one way, all it is, is just a dream. Yet, this "memory" is much better than the final moments of having to say goodbye and taking her off life support.
I'm still waiting to have one of those dreams in which she tells me that everthing is fine. No need to worry anymore. Have you had those dreams of love ones gone?
I've had them each time someone dear has passed away. When my mom died, I had this dream of her, my dad, and our family dog with my mom and dad saying to me, we are now in the light and happy, no need to worry about us anymore.
When my brother died (he died of liver cancer, diagnosed about four weeks earlier, then suffered and gone so soon). In a dream, he said to me, "I'm no longer in pain. Where I'm at now, they found a cure for me!"
I know, perhaps just a trick of the mind. Yet perhaps more too. Either way, it is comforting.
