Phyllis Asks:
Hi Lucid,
I was in my room praying for my dad who was dying. I was praying for my family to be able to support each other in our time of sadness. We knew he didn’t have much time left. I couldn’t sleep all night…

I was sitting in the darkness when all of a sudden there was a voice that came into my room. The room didn’t light up or anything but I had a conversation with either an angel or perhaps it was Heavenly Father. This is what was said, “Phyllis, I am taking your Father now,” and I said,” Why?” and then I heard the voice say, “Because I need him more than you do right now.”

When this conversation was done I got up off my bed and went upstairs. As I got to the top of the steps, my Mom was just hanging up the phone. I looked at her and she said, “The hospital just called to say Dad had passed away.” I almost fainted and my Mom caught me before I almost fell backwards down the stairs.

First, why didn’t my mother get the visitation in stead of me?

The second thing is, I dreamt of my Father over and over again. I would go to the funeral home and would go into some room where he would be sitting there in a bathtub taking a bath like he was going some where. I would ask him, “What are you doing?” and he would say, “I’m getting ready to go,” then the dream would end, and I would wake up! It seemed so real!

Was he telling me that he was getting ready to meet our Father above? My Dad was a good Christian man. What do you think?

Thanks Lucid for your site, I love it!

Lucid’s Thoughts:
Wow Phyllis, that sounds like it was a neat experience in the sense of being personally told of your father’s passing. You may have been chosen for a few reasons. First of all your extrasensory perception may have been more advanced than your moms. She may have disregarded the message as a voice in her head. Maybe the question should be; why not you?

Whatever the reason, you were chosen and that in itself is gift.

Now, as for your dream. I think it was very literal. Being in the bath tub represents washing away the old, etc. and if he was preparing to move to the next level/cross over, it only makes sense that he would be cleansing himself.

I think it was his way or your way of accepting his passing and moving on peacefully.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
