I can give her proof juditha the other night i dreamt my brother in law had to go into hospital and two days later i saw his mum and dad and they said he had got to go in hospital i often have dreams of future events and they almost certainly come true nearly every time. love deanna

Wow, it is sad that she is such a skeptic and promoting that skepticism.  I think people who believe as she does have not had these experiences themselves, or have not opened up their hearts to see these experiences for what they really are.  It just goes to show how fear can block out perception. 

Um, er, guys/gals -

She is right!  (And wrong at the same time).  Look, if you have something, some problem on your mind, you may very well dream about it.  Or silly things like you watch a favorite TV show just before falling asleep and then voila - you dream about it.

Dream imagery is not ALWAYS an afterlife communication.  Sometimes we work through psychological issues in dreams; Freud presented dozens if not hundreds of cases where dreams related to common worldly events the dreamer was wrestling with.

So let us not jump off the deep end.  I definitely would take a visit from a dead relative seriously in a dream.  It might even be fair to call it a "likely" communication.  But sometimes a dream is not an external communication, but one of us to ourselves about real world C1 problems that weigh heavily on our minds.

I find taking dreams apart piece by piece very helpful to spiritual growth and I agree that one will dream of whats on their mind from the day before. and sometimes the people in dreams will morph into another person. and so you must be discerning what that means. Its difficult. Not all in a dream can be taken literally to be what it represents.
but a dream is not always just a mental exercise. it can involve your core being, your heart, your emotions. if you have these components in a dream landscape it comes to a life of its own to effect your reality.
to decipher whether a spirit is actually making contact, or you are just presenting to yourself less ordinary instruction, for it is always a clue to your inner nature and what you have been thinking/day dreaming about, these dreams we find meaning of our own there to apply, as it were, food for thought.

if in the dream, at once your attention is riveted and focused upon the one you know has transitioned, and it comes to you this thought, that they are not in physical and as well your heart becomes glad that at last you meet, you may take the gladness you have been offered that you were found worthy of being visited by one who loves you. I say worthy, because any spirit, speaking of our family spirits only, and those closely bonded to in life, either by karma or agreements, come of their own free will to your side and because you did call. this is very close to PUL conditions, for then we can know that we see, but we do not see all, we can hear, but we hear not all sounds, we can touch one, but we touch not all, we can love, but not love with all our might, all of our feeling, all of our being. we are satisfied with snacks of PUL. lol.
well, love is all there is to remain after death. dreams of visitation are rare right now, but that will change with people's belief systems. meanwhile the dream landscape is the unconscious collective..you must push out of your way the objects in it, while surfing through it, so that you dive for the pearl you know must be there.
