My grandpap died about 2 months ago, and we were very very close. Last night i had a dream that it was after he died, but he came back to talk to me and tell me how he is doing. I was in his backyard and he looked soo healthy, he was the grandpa i remember before the disease. He was hugging me and we just had a conversation and he was just soo happy and wouldnt stop smiling. The whole basis of the dream was me meeting with my grandpap after his death.Now, is this just me wishful thinking, because right now i really do believe that i was spiritually connected with my grandpap last night, and it was his way of comforting me. I really dont think of it as just a dream that i made up, do you think its okay for me to think that? and has anybody else had a similar experience?
First off, I'm sorry about your grandpap...heartfelt condolences and well-wishes going out to you. I think it is absolutely fine to believe that you were connected to him in this dream. Personally, I believe you probably were connected. I've had similar experiences in the past with my Nana (grandma), as well as with a girl I loved very much who died in an accident, and I believe, I know, that these weren't simple dreams and wishful thinking, mainly because of how lucid I was during these connections versus the fact that I never dream lucidly. I'm sure he was just sending you a message that he's happy and okay where he is now, as well as to make sure you are doing okay yourself. Like I said, I've had more than one such experience (as well as several other weird experiences in my life) and have had a bit of time to put them in perspective, so if you think talking more about this will help you in any way, feel free to send me a PM or e mail, I'd be more than glad to help.
I'm not sure if that is the case, that you actually spoke to him, although that is entirely possible. But don't be surprised if you come across some very good news soon. A dream of speaking with someone who has already past away is typically an omen of good news. I feel for you, it isn't easy losing someone you love. However, you have only lost contact with the physical form. You can still contact and communicate with him through meditation. If you are centered and open, you will be apt to receiving his communications while you are wide awake as well, during your normal daily activities. Peace & Love Be With You ^_^
VooDooPirate, what you experienced is something that has never happened to me, but I know that it has happened to lots of other grieving people. I can't tell you for sure that what you happened to you was a real visit from your grandfather, but it is very possible. All I know is that spirit survives after your body perishes, and I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that your grandfather is really reaching out to give you comfort.
You were probably doing the same thing I did when my favorite hippy teacher ever died. I still talk with him spiritually and ask him about advice and stuff. Your grandfather visited you spiritually, and wanted you to remember the best image of him. Try to communicate with him again.
