A few years ago, I was going to see my sick grandmother in the hospital. I haven’t seen her in quite sometime, and was trying to make it up that following weekend. Like you, I had a dream where my grandmother came up to me and said, “Deb, don’t come up, I won’t be here, I’m happy where I am right now, and I don’t want you to see me like this.”

I woke up very upset over this dream. The morning I was about to go visit her, my mother calls me telling me she passed away. I think she knew I was going to come up anyway.

There are so many stories like this. When someone that you love and that you are close to passes on, they can appear in your dreams and let you know. This is not uncommon. I think it has a lot to do with how open you are to the other side. They basically know ‘it’s okay to give her the message.’ Some people are so closed up, that they don’t receive these messages. It’s subconsciously by choice that we receive these messages.

Very well written story, and it really hit a chord with me. Thanks for being so open and honest.
