hello Goldie and sister fairy...yes I've been a frequent flyer and it's a great feeling of being a free spirit.
have also met the deceased within dream and had the intention to meet these family members to see how they were getting on, within the spirit realms. Most of them are quite happy with their situation and all of them will appear younger and healthier, or as they wish to apear for your recognition. Most of my relatives have a message of good cheer, to say about their work, or their progress on their own self. and so I believe this was a genuine meeting for you with your relative and thank god we can lose our belly fat on the other side easier than on this side it seems!
one of my early flying dreams I used to flap my arm very fast before I could lift off. I believe I met my brother while doing this out there; I was trying to get away from him. I had carried some bad feelings into adulthood and portrayed them in a dream, that he wished to hit me again as in days of old. as I flapped my arms furiously I barely rose but a few feet from him. suddenly he said "I would never ever hurt you." and I believed him then, that I dealt with my own fear. so we can get messages from others out there.
I love meeting a kindred spirit! love, alysia
