Donna F's Experience

Experience description:
At the time I was
exclusively dating someone. He would sleep either at my place or his mothers at
the time. So when he said he was staying home it was nothing out of the
ordinary. I dreamt that night that I was up in the corner of a bedroom looking
down. It was a small room. Just enough to fit a double/queen size bed an older
type dresser, long and short with a television on it. My boyfriend was in bed
sleeping with someone. They were both sleeping, not entangled. I had never seen
this person before. She was quite large and I could tell it was nighttime but I
could see clearly. There was nothing special at all about the surroundings. I
didn't think too much of it afterwards. I was working at a bar at the time and
the woman from my dream came in. She didn't want anything because she was
waiting for someone is what she said. She left but I stepped out to watch her.
She met my boyfriend just a bit down the block. I later asked him who she was
and he said it was the mother of his child. I had never before laid eyes on her
or seen a picture. As a matter of fact I remember him stating she had been a
cheerleader so I had a picture her being slim and fit in my head. Imagine my
surprise. Of course this lead to other questions as it turns out he had been
with her off and on through out our relationship and he had been there that
night. I just couldn't believe I saw it. I didn't know what to make of it. I did
not recall any flying sensation, bright lights, seeing Earth from space or
looking down and seeing my own body, seeing anyone that has passed away, nothing
of the sort. Just exactly what I said.
When my grandmother
passed away I saw her in a dream. At first I thought it may have been another
dream. We were very close. In this dream she stood on the opposite side of a
void. It is the only way I can describe this space. It was like I knew there was
nothing in the black space between us. She looked well and happy. She spoke to
me and I to her but neither of us used our mouths. It was our thoughts. I told
her I missed her and wanted her to come back but she said no, she loved me but
she was happy where she was and didn't want to be here any longer that it was
too hard. Her side was beautiful, colorful but not too bright. We said goodbye.
Whatever it was it helped me deal with losing her.
I also saw someone else
that I briefly knew that passed away. She was close to a friend of mine. Again I
thought this was a dream. The puzzling part was she was pushing a baby stroller.
I didn't mention it to anyone until I heard someone talking about a child the
woman had lost some years back. So I asked what they were talking about and they
said that the woman who had just passed had a toddler that had been hit by a car
so many years before that. I still didn't say anything to anyone but imagine my
surprise again. In the dream the woman who passed was coming out of an elevator
pushing a stroller. I told her she should come back because her kids needed her.
(She had four other children) She just smiled and said they'd be fine. I was
kind of irritated with her for leaving. Next thing you know I was awake.
