My grandfather died in March of 2008 (2 months before I graduated from high school). He had been in the hospital for about a year before he died, but he had been getting a lot better, so it was pretty unexpected. About 2 weeks ago I had a dream about him. My cousin and I were in my house when he walked in wearing his usual khaki pants and red checked shirt with a very attractive blonde guy in a plain white tshirt that I felt like I knew...but I didn't feel like I'd ever seen him before. My grandfather immediately went upstairs and began cleaning (which is strange because 1. he never cleaned..ever. and 2. my grandmothers house: the one he was cleaning, is always spotless) After a while he came down and socialized with our family. Everyone acted like he was supposed to be alive..but while he was socializing I realized he wasn't supposed to be there....he's supposed to be dead. So I went over by our back door where the blonde guy was standing (he'd been there the whole time). I hugged him and thanked him for coming and bringing him, he hugged back very tightly..and I vaguely said something along the lines of the fact that I knew they weren't supposed to be there. he only smiled and looked away...like we had something just between the two of us. It wasn't long after that that the blonde guy and my grandfather left. After they left I talked to the rest of my family who talked about him like they knew he was supposed to be dead, but they didn't want to say anything. Do you think this has specific meaning or is it all in my head? i just found it very strange...the gorgeous blonde guy (who also never spoke) and my grandfather cleaning..i think it might, but I don't want to be the one to place meaning on it.
Hi Bunnielight ... ok so what means to be dead ? In dream we seem to accept much more that we are not separate from the other side, as death is just change. Maybe your grandfather came to help you to get a different view on life and what it means to exist, and clean up some stuck places (which could be preoccupations) upstairs (in the mind). So smile with him and thank him and stay open whenever he wants to socialize again, and bring you such good company. Just a thought ! Thank you for sharing.
