Recently I had a dream that my deceased mother came to my house with my father (who is still living). I said, “Oh wow, it’s so great to see you” and I gave her a hug. Then I said, “But wait, aren’t you dead?”
She replied, “Actually all of us are dead. You just don’t realize it yet.”
I said, “Huh? What do you mean?”
“You think you are dreaming about me right now, and in your reality I’ve passed away, but the truth is that this dream is not a dream at all. It’s my attempt to get you to remember that you are already dead.”
I just stared at her.
She continued, “You died about 40 years ago, and you’re replaying this particular life over and over again because you don’t want to let it go. Every time I appear to you in a dream it’s because I’m trying to reach you to wake you up to your new reality. You died. You need to let go, cross over, slough off the Erin character you were playing, and be in the now. There’s a lot I want to show you and I can’t until you’re done playing.”
I said, “But I don’t remember dying.”
She said, “Because you don’t want to.”
So I said, “But if this is true, then how do I wake up and stop reliving this life?”
“When you replay the part where you die, I’m going to come to you again to help you cross over. Make sure this time you take my hand and let me lead you. I will get you all the way to the other side so that you can move forward. Like I said, there is so much I want to show you and remind you, but you’ve got to let go.”
I asked, “Does this happen to a lot of people?”
She said, “More than you know, yes. People die and they don’t want to let go of their life so they dive right back into the replay and try to stay in that life as long as possible. Your deja vu experiences are clues that you are reliving the same scene multiple times.”
I said, “Is there no system in place on the other side to help people cross over more completely?”
She said, “Yes, your deceased loved ones come to you at the time of your real physical death to lead you to the other side, but you still have free will, and if you desire to stay and play in the life you just left, we have no choice but to let you.”
I said, “Wow, this is crazy. How do I know that what you’re telling me is real?”
She said, “You don’t. As soon as you wake up you will discount what I’ve told you in this dream and will go on reliving your life. You’re allowed to do that as long as you want, I just wanted to let you know that next time you get to the part where you die in this life that you will have a choice to make. I hope this time you will choose to cross over.”
Then I woke up.
Now I don’t want anyone reading this to assume that this dream is real. It could have just been a really vivid dream. But I also can’t say it’s not real. If we replay our lives over and over again how would we know we’re in a replay or the original life?
What I took from this dream is that when I die (again?) I will pay more attention to the choices I’m given. I don’t want to be stuck in a loop of reliving one life over and over again. I want to see what comes next.
You also have to factor in the idea that time doesn’t exist on the other side and it’s possible all our lives are in a state of “yet to happen, currently happening, or already has happened” at all times. This may just be the life I’m currently focused on, sort of like re-reading a book you’ve already read.
I’m just here to share that this was a freaky-ass dream and it made me consider possibilities I had not considered before. I don’t just see dead people… maybe I AM dead people.
