I wanted to share an “experience” I had in a dream last week that was in retrospect so much more than a dream that I thought you all might find it “uplifting”
What made this dream so special is it was about something that was "about" to happen.
In the dream: I was waiting to die, I could feel death “pulling” me in and I was “waiting” for my family to say goodbye to them. For some reason they were delayed and I remember just the “waiting” and the “pulling” sensation. I remember hugging someone with one of those hugs you always remember. I thought it might be my daughter but wasn't sure.
The dream was so real to me that, when I woke, I never felt so happy and blessed to be alive!
Before I tell you the next part, a little background, I volunteer during the week as a Hospice worker. I sit with elderly people who have 6 months or less to live and just provide a presence for them to do whatever they like. My last elderly woman (Isobel) and I developed a special bond over the past 3 months. She couldn’t talk hardly, maybe a word or two every so often, but she would grab my hand when I came in and hold onto it and smile a wonderful smile. We used to listen to classical music and watch animal planet most of the time. We became “friends”.
I mention this because 2 hours after I woke up after that dream I received a call saying that Isobel had passed away and although I didn’t relate the dream to this event, the first thing I said was “I wish I could have said goodbye to her”
It was later that I really understood the dream and its meaning.
We did get to say goodbye in a way we never could have in person. This was so much more than a dream and something I never experienced before.
Thanks for letting me share this with you all

What a wonderful experience and blessing for you. The hardest part of seeing someone pass on to another life is the saying goodbye (or the inability to do so). I'm glad you were comforted by your "dream" or "vision" - whichever it was, it certainly was a blessing to you.
Oh my goodness, James! Let me just say that sharing your experience just gave me the biggest chill throughout my body, ever! What an amazingly powerful and uplifting dream! I am truly happy that you were able to say goodbye in a much more meaningful way than you ever would have in person, on this earth.

Your dream sounds beautiful to me, and indeed perhaps a "goodbye" to your friend and her passing. I too have worked with the elderly for a time and have seen them pass. There are such teachers to us, we are all so connected, as you surely were and are to her.
Thank you Amaranth and Mumoftwo for your kind words. This experience was so out the ordinary for me and so inspiring that I just had to share it. I'm glad that it touched you as well.
