I too have had the experience of being visited by deceased friends and family while asleep. It has happened in what seemed like a dream, but more often it happens when I am sleeping but not dreaming (or at least I am not dreaming as I do normally night after night).
None have spoken to me, but a few times I came away with an understanding of something the visiting soul wanted me to know. For example, my grandmother came several times one night in such a fashion that I twice woke up startled. Soon I realized that there was a book I was reading on death and the afterlife that she wanted me to give to my mother who (unknown to me) was soon to cross over. I gave $1,000 to a desparate friend who promised that if he didn't repay the money, he'd come live with me so I could help him. He broke the promise and died soon after from a drug overdose. Later at my wedding, a casual friend I was not close to gave me $1,000, which was a crazy-generous gift. Right after that my dead friend appeared while I was sleeping, and I knew that he was communicating that this was from his influence. Upon waking, I realized that he and I were even. There is a quality to these experiences that is decidedly different than dreaming. Frank --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "matrixmonitor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ---I'm not so sure.
