Dreams and Visions

This page is dedicated to dreams and visions. These are usually extremely vivid dreams that are still crystal clear when you awake. Most times during these dreams you have your senses, like feeling, smell or even taste very strongly after you awake. A vision on the other hand is where you have a dream-like encounter when you are fully awake. Almost like time stops for a second to enable you to have this vision. Either way they are described, it is definitely something that you not soon forget and usually has an emotional impact.

Again, like the other pages in the section, if you have a question or comment about anything you see here, or would like to share with someone your own experiences, with or without it including Michelle, please email me. I would love to hear from you.

This first example is of a dream vision. So in other words it took place in a dream state. This happens often and you don't even realize that you have had one. It is one of those really vivid and impacting dreams.

Because Michelle passed so quickly she was gone before I even knew it. I wanted so much to have the chance to tell her how much I love her and how much she was my daughter then and now in my heart, I wanted to tell her I missed her so terribly.

In my dream (I was sleeping) I seen her and I surrounded in darkness like we were in space but it was almost like we were illuminated from inside. We seemed to glow. I looked at her and said almost franticly how much I love and miss her. She looked down to me like our roles were reversed and
she was the mother figure and I was the child. Like she knew so much and I was the frantic child searching for some answers. But as I looked into her face I knew that she knew all the answers now and had such peace. I remember hearing "I love you too" and knowing that it was coming from her but her lips were not moving. She held out her arms and hugged me putting her head on my chest like she use to, listening to my heart beat. I immediately woke up and could actually still feel the hug. The feeling of it has faded some but the memory of it is still as vivid as the moment it happened. I know that she gave me the chance to say what I needed say and I felt such peace after that. I still had contact with her even if she wasn't physically here anymore.

Thank you Michelle for that gift. You know how much that changed the way I saw this experience emotionally for me.

This next example is one that took place with my mom. It is from her perspective. If you have any questions about this, I will pass them on to her.

The phone rang at 8:20 on the day that changed my life. My daughter Tessa was on the other end informing me that her husband Brian was driving their daughter Michelle to the hospital with yet another asthma attack, but this time she had passed out and the ambulance would be meeting them near where I lived.

I insisted on going there immediately which took no more than 3 minutes.

The doors to the ambulance where open and I watched as the emergency medical technicians worked on her lifeless body. I called out to her and asked her not to die, that we loved her and told her to hang on. The knowing that she was not going to make it hit me hard enough to make me take a couple steps back. I knew at that precise moment that she no longer was in that ambulance. I felt the void and emptiness of her soulless body.

A quiet serene peace fell over me as the family waited at the hospital for some information on her progress.

The doctors announced only a few minutes later that she was gone.

A short time later while I was driving Tessa and Brian to my home I suddenly seen her. She was running in a big beautiful field of daisies. She turned to me, without stopping, and said, "Grandma, look I can run!"

My heart filled with so much joy I thought it would burst. I had never seen her so happy. She was literally glowing.

Thinking back, I realize that the vision must of only taking a split second since I was driving and remember exactly where I was on the road. It felt like time had stopped and God gave me this gift of vision so I could pass on to the family that she was alright, even better than alright, that she was with God.
