I Dream Dead People
The title might seem a little creepy but sometimes I freak out especially when I haven’t delivered the message to the right people and they kept appearing in my dream over and over again. You see, I don’t know when this gift (as I considered it) started (high school I think). All I know is when someone that I know already died and they want to send a message to their relatives that I also know or they want to be remembered in a form of a mass, they appear in my dream. I then let those who know the departed know. Some people actually thank me and some people feel defensive that they have to be reminded to offer a mass for their loved ones. Like for example my close classmate in high school Mike. He died unexpectedly. I was so devastated when he died. About a month ago he kept appearing in my dreams. They don’t look scary in my dream though. Mama kept telling me to let his brother know that he has been appearing in my dream. I kept putting it off because I didn’t know how he would react (he is my brother’s best friend) but Mike kept appearing in my dream. I don’t feel scared the first time or the second time but if I haven’t delivered the message I kind of expect it already that they will appear again.
Another example, I have cousins who died of young age. One committed suicide and one died of sickness leaving 3 children. They both appeared in my dream with another baby which I haven’t seen before and told me to tell my Aunt Divina not to forget about them and that she needs to remember them. I was not able to tell my mother right away to have her convey the message to my aunt because they were out that Sunday. I kept calling our house and I didn’t want to send it through text. So finally come Monday I got a hold of mama. I told her about what I dreamt and I was surprised when she said, “you want to talk to your Aunt, she’s here”. My Aunt Divina came to the house to ask help from my mama because of her condition. I told her about my dream and she was speechless. She said she has been offering mass for them but I guess it is not enough because they want to be remembered.
I am ok when they show themselves in my dreams but please never while I am awake. Now that is scary.
