I had a strange experience in the form of a very vivid dream a few weeks ago, and I have been trying to figure out what it means. I don't know if I need a psychic or a parapsychologist! If anyone can help or offer any advice I would be so grateful.
My grandmother died very suddenly on July 19th of this year from a heart attack. I was very close to her, and we had a very good relationship. On August 7th, I dreamed that I was in her back yard, and she walked out of her house carrying a tray of soda. I saw her coming and ran up to her to grab the tray. She insisted she was fine and, after setting the tray down, grabbed me by the hand and said "Come here, I have to show you something". I followed her back into the house, and sat at the kitchen table. She stood next to me, over my left shoulder with her hand on the back of the chair. It was then that I remembered that she was no longer living, and I looked at her and touched her face. She looked so good, much younger than she did when she died and so happy. She was smiling so much, and her face was filled with so much light. It's very hard to explain, but everything was so vivid and real, and I was just so happy to see her. I stood up and gave her the biggest hug ever, and I could literally smell her perfume and feel the hair on the back of her neck. She looked at me, still smiling, as she took a few steps and grabbed her purse. She pulled out a calendar and pointed at a date, which I couldn't see from where I was sitting, and told me "This is the day, don't forget". I asked her, "Don't forget what Grandma", and she repeated, "Don't Forget!!".
That's when I woke up. The dream was so real I could literally still smell her perfume. I felt like I had just been with her. That whole day I racked my brain trying to figure out what I was forgetting. The entire day I double checked everything! On the way home from work I was telling my husband how I had gone over everything and couldn't figure out it I was forgetting anything. Suddenly, he remembered that it was my sisters birthday!! I had completely forgotten!!
I'm so confused as to what this means. I honestly feel like I was with her, but is that possible? Is there another dimension here on earth for people who die, and can we enter it? Or was this all made up by my brain to ease my grieving in some way? This was the first dream I have had of her since her death. Will I see her again??
