<font color=pink>Recently, I had a dream that really disturbed me.

I just lost my Aunt, the only Aunt I ever knew when I was growing up. Needless to say, we were VERY close. We even had one of those best friend charms (http://www.geocities.com/mamacita_kaye/images/charm.jpg) (which I wear every single day without fail), the two halves of one heart, for each person. She never had children so she treated me in a way that a mother treats a daughter. Since her place of residence was Buenos Aires, Argentina, I didn't get to see her often. Our relationship was really wonderful, but as I got older the intensity of it decreased, not because we wanted it to, but because I was busy with school and what not. Our relationship was still very strong, however not like when I was younger.

Her death really hit me hard. I have never really had anyone in my family die before so it was a mixture of her dying and going through a death for the first time.

The dream doesn't seem like much, but I feel she was speaking to me somehow. I dreamt that I was walking down the hallway in my house to my parents bedroom. Inside the doors there was my grandmother (who is still alive) and my Aunt (who looked like she was in her 20's, she was 50 when she died), my Aunt was holding my grandmother's hand. I went up to her, and I put both my hands on either side of her face. I do believe that I was crying. Thats' when I woke up, and I had tears running down my face and I believe that I heard rain, but it wasn't raining. I only heard it for a second though. It was very strange.

I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach, that my Aunt was trying to tell me that she's coming for my grandmother....

Have you had a dream like this? If so, tell me about it.

Well put, Rogue. Um, you may want to reconsider your stance on "aliens" but this thread is not the place for such things.

Kaye, please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I sincerely appreciate your bringing your question here.

Here comes my analysis:

Think for a second about all the vivid dreams you've had in the past. More than likely you experienced some sort of event that consumed your awareness before the dream manifested itself. As an example, you may have once had a fight with someone you love, dreamt that you were with them and found yourselves being chased by some horrible creature. Some would say that the creature represents the temporary animosity you experienced.

I'm not one to interpret dreams for reasons already specified. In this instance, though, I'll make an exception.

You're obviously shaken by the loss of your Tia. The death of someone so dear to you has made you consider the mortality of others close to you. You may have subconsiously picked your grandmother because of a similar type of relationship with her and her age. In other words, if your grandmother is the oldest of the people you love, you may have brought her image into the dream as a reminder to yourself.

Can you see now why interpretations are meaningless to anyone but the one having the experience?

I recommend that you write the dream in your journal and date it. If it's a premonition or something you'll have a document to convince others that something odd has happened.

I urge you, however, to keep the dream to yourself. If your grandmother hears about it, it may only get her worried. It depends on what she chooses to believe.

Next, spend some time with her or write her sometime. Steer away from mentioning the dream and focus on the good things you and she are experiencing right now.

Your aunt had a reason to treat you as she did. Now your love for her is like an open wound. Wounds heal. The next time something like this happens, your experience will help you deal with it a little better.

Be well, Kaye. My thoughts are with you.

THe dead spaek to us all the time, it's called memory.

Anything that has every been said to you by a person that has passed, and that you recall, is yet another message from them. Hence the saying that the dead live on in us.

As far as your dream, I cant really say much about it. Personally, I believe it to be a possibility.

My condolences on your loss. Like we have been for others, we will be here for you if you need us.

<font color=pink>Thank you for your comments and analyze. I never told my grandmother, because she would FLIP out. I did, however tell my mother who cried with me after the fact. Its was one of those dreams, that if you think about it now, it still makes you weep.

One thing that struck me as odd in the dream was that she was so young in it. Why? I never saw her that young, only in pictures. Why wouldn't she be how I remembered her?

Anyway, again I thank you.

Again, this an interpretation and is by no means expected to be accurate:

It may be that you've become so close to your aunt that you wish follow her example. The pictures of her in her youth may even hint of similarities to how you appear now.

Perhaps you're beginning to question your own mortality.

In a sense, your aunt is giving you a message. I'll leave the rest to you for now.
