Dreams with the Deceased

 Lately I have been visited by several deceased family members in my dreams. This has been going on for several weeks. They have become so frequent and vivid it is a bit troubling. The most recent one I was having a conversation with my Dad ( dies in 2006), my Mom( died in 2012)was nearby. He was talking about someone close that was near death ( I cannot remember who though). The phone rang (a landline) and since I was closest to it I answered it. It was my brother (died in 2000). He was telling me that we needed to come quick as his wife was seriously ill (she is alive and well). I then remember in my dream telling my Dad this and we were trying to decide where we should go. I think that was when I woke up. 

I have had several dreams with my Dad being in them. I also recall my grandparents (his parents) in one. Trevor and Alan have also made appearances. Why am I having so many of these dreams lately? I am starting to feel like a dark cloud is hanging over me. When I have an occasional one I enjoy the visit with them. But so many is a bit distressing, especially when one deals with the imminent death of others.

I am thinking it could just be the time of year. My brother died on May 2nd, Alan on May 15, Trevor on June 25, and my Mom on July 6. It is a difficult time of year, every year. 

I have only ever had one dream that was an omen, a warning. In my dream I was stopped at a traffic light, it turned green and I accelerated into the intersection. I then heard a semi-truck honking and he came barreling through, running the red light. Right towards me. I woke up just before impact. Two weeks later I was at that very same intersection. The light turned green. I paused, I remembered that dream. Then I heard the horn and saw the semi-truck coming too fast to stop, running the red light. I was still stopped. 

I have never had another dream that forewarned of anything else. Just that one. I am trying to not let these recent dreams upset me. I should just enjoy the visits from the other side. 

Out with the old and in with the new... year that is.

 2025 was not the year I had expected it to be. Retirement came earlier than expected. I was a bit nervous about it, but I have no regrets a...
