Greetings sissi,
Firstly, I don't think you'll get only one type of response to your question-- because there is no 'you people' here.  To me it seems that very few of us have read Moen's books and everyone who has mentionned their background seems to differ from everyone else. We are simply people seeking answers and sharing experiences, just as you have just done.

Read other dream responses here and you'll find that no one can really interpret a dream. It's what it seems to you. For ex.: What feelings about this fellow did you have after his death? What does 'requiem' mean to you? (Mass? Music?) How did he act before his passing; did he feel dishonored at work or left out?

Thank you for sharing your dream.

Actually I didn't know him very well, but I was of course upset due to his passing because he was so young and leaving a young child behind. But I didn't grief or anything because he was almost stranger to me - we just talked few times, that's it. And I haven't even dreamt about dead relatives or other important people that have passed away.

And about requiem, that's even stranger. Because I don't think I even knew what that word meant... After he said it, I checked out in a dictionary and thought that I didn't knew. Maybe I have heard it before, maybe I haven't. I think I haven't, because the information sounded new to me.

I came to a conclusion that I had to pray for him in order to get him find the Light. I have seldom prayed for anything or anybody before because I'm not very religious. But for some reason I (or atleast I think that) believe it was real.

My mother has talked a couple of times with her grandma after she died, in a dream. She said that grandma was also a bit angry first time she dreamt about her, but after that she was calm.
