Hi shawna87,
I've had many dreams of my grandma after she died and many times she did have messages for my mom, it was very clear to me that was the whole reason she showed up in my dream. Everytime, after I wake up I call my mom and tell her and if I can't get ahold of her right away the feeling that I need to tell her won't go away. It just nags at me. Once I tell her, I almost forget that it happened at all.
I also had a dream of a friend of mine that died when he was 10 in a drunk driving accident and he asked me to tell our mutual friends that he was ok and very happy...so even at risk at sounding crazy in the 5th grade, I told them...and amazingly everyone just smiled and cried...it was helpful in our healing. Even though I know some of our friends didn't believe that those things can happen - it still eased a part of them in their grieving.
So my instinct says tell her. Regardless of how she seems to take it, it's just important that the message gets to her. Spirit works in amazing ways, and as I've witnessed in the past, they know exactly what someone needs to hear and the hard part is getting the message to them. So help them out
That's my two cents.
