messages from heaven

Last night before bed I made a note to take the time to write another post. I wasn’t sure of what the topic would be, but this morning it literally jumped in front of my face when I woke up from my first dream about Walter since he passed away. No people get your mind out of the gutter it was not sexual! It was way better than that.

In my dream we were in two places, driving in a car (where we usually had our best talks) and at his parents’ house. My favourite part of the dream was near the end when we were dancing; he always liked to twirl me around. While we were dancing we talked about a few things – something that made me laugh and the other was how much he loved me. It was both comforting for me but also made me very emotional. I had a similar dream about Rachel after she passed, but I had to wait several months longer for her to grace my presence in that way. She must have had a lot of other friend’s dreams to visit! Now, the similarity between these dreams is that I recognized that I was in a dream and that I tried to hold them for as long as possible because I knew my time with them was limited. I actually mentioned in both dreams that I was dreaming and trying to understand why I knew or felt that way has proven to be very challenging, but I will never know.

What is special about these types of dreams is that they are so vivid that you feel like it’s real! You also tend to remember every detail when you wake up. I don’t think it is our imagination that creates these dreams or else I would dream about Walt every night. I believe they are one of the many messages from loved once who have passed. After reading “Talking to Heaven” by James Van Praagh (which I highly recommend for anyone to read), I have begun to recognize that these messages frequent our paths in so many different forms everyday and only sometimes we are observant and open enough to get the chance to decipher them. No I’m not talking about spirits talking to you or hearing things, but things showing up when you need them, like seeing something like a name or saying in a random place, shapes in clouds or even happy green circles in a picture (see pictures below).

Trish Johnson, a very close friend of Rachel posts this picture and captions it: 

‘A little love from above... Awesome! (I couldn't resist taking this photo 

while on my way to work out class this morning)’

Rachel’s sister Melissa, pictured here in the middle of the kiss sandwich, posts this 

picture on a friends wall and writes, ‘A few minutes before Michaela and I went 

bungee jumping in Nanaimo - just thought you'd appreciate the large, happy 

green spots :)’

Both of these give me goosebumps and make me smile from ear to ear. People, especially those whoa re grieving, beg for these types of signs; I know I have, but it's really not that simple. But when we really need it, those are when our loved ones seem to find just the right place to send their messages of love.
