We Can Visit Our Loved Ones After They Have Passed
I know I have expressed how I believe we can visit our loved ones after they have passed, and my father happens to be the strongest presence to date. Since Liara recently asked about astral travel in dreams, I figured I would write about one of many.
Two months ago I had this dream with my dad:
He was trying to tell me to take care of affairs. Now, when he first passed away ten years ago, I dreamt a similar dream. We were walking down a walk way, and he had a clip board in his hand. He was looking all around, and checking off certain things that were on his list.
To me that signifies him doing a final walk through before he could move on. He wanted to make sure everything was ok. It made sense at the time. It actually was right in line with how things should go.
In this dream he came up to me with some kind of canvas bag; it looked to be old and ragged. We were up on a big hill, in the middle of the woods, and it was night time. From the top we could see a village. I put both arms out to receive the package. He then placed it gently in my hands; it was heavier then I expected it to be.
He looked at me and said, “Take care of things.” My eyes were fixated on his. I did not want him to leave, but I could feel he was about to depart. As soon as moved my eyes, he was gone. I was wondering what was in the bag, so I tried to take a peek at what was inside, but was unable to.
Shortly after my father’s disappearance, a young peasant woman came from the middle of no where holding my him like a child in her arms. He was dying. He could not breath and was having convulsions. I was so upset! I started to scream. {All the memories of his real death came flooded in, and my heart was breaking all over again!}
There was fire behind her in the distance. I was nervous to approach them, but I went running over to her to take my dad from her arms, and she said, “Your father is dying. We must go now.” I was crying for I did not like seeing him suffer!
I know my dad was trying to tell me something. I also know this earth plane is very draining, and he could not stay long. I never got to see what was in the bag. All I know is that there is something I needed to take care of, and he will be giving me something that will be directly involved with the task. (Guidance or assistance)
I woke up feeling like I wanted to vomit. It was a very powerful dream!!!!!
Update & long story short:
My mother had moved to Florida a few years back. Things did not go the way we expected them to, so my mother had to move back. She had no place to live, no money, no car; nothing! Even though my place is small and crowded, I had to take her in. We had to take turns sleeping in the living room etc, but with a small sacrifice, we did it.
With a lot of stress and worry, it turns out my sister had to move from where she was living. Her, and my mother, began applying for rentals and were told there would be a six month wait. We all got a little disappointed!
As things would turn out, someone moved out sooner then expected, and they were aloud in. It only took one month; they now share an apartment together.
The process was full of uncertainty, but we did it and the “affairs” were taken care of. I believe we were being watched over. The chain of events had told me so.

Lucid,
Thank-you for sharing so much. The other day someone very close to me and my departed Mother was feeling very ill. She was home alone laying on the couch when my Mom appeared to her and stroked her forehead. She did not speak, she simply gave her love and care.

Lucid that is so neat ! ! ! !
I am sure this confirms your belief of life after death. I hope I can still have contact with my family when they pass. I know they have other things they will be doing and I know I can not expect to have them there all the time but an occassional dream would be sooooo comforting!

Dear Lucid,
I am pleasantly uplifted when human beings discover they create their own disconnect with departed loved ones and can also strengthen bonds of love. My own belief is that souls transcend this life to another existence. I think death as humans often assume is simply a belief based on fear of the unknown.
Your impressions of meaning of your dreams appear to work for you. I sense we are each our own best interpreters of our dreams, providing we get-to-know our feelings and emotions. Of course, we can always learn more and grow.
In addition to what you say, I’d also suggest the canvas bag your dad carries in the more recent dream represents responsibilities and burdens you choose to carry in your current life. He also hands you a concealed package. Could this remind you of innate creative energy and skills you hadn’t thought about to solve a problem? This package may be like acknowledging certain feelings or recognizing you can tap into new resources. Perhaps he visited you again to draw your attention to weight you have the power to lift from your shoulders? The woods, the hill, the darkness all symbolize obstacles to vision (seeing clearly). You may be in a transition. Do what you do best and follow instincts.

HI Liara!
Thank you for your addition! I am always looking for suggestions, and thoughts from different angles.
I have thought of these things you mentioned, so I believe your words to be true!
Thank you again!
