Dream Visit After Death

Roughly 15 years ago, I lost a close friend (David) to aggressive cancer. Diagnosed in August, passed in November. I was at his bedside when it happened.

That evening, I dreamt of visiting him in an urban setting hospital. Very different than the hospital he passed in. As I entered his room, David was sitting on the radiator next to his bed. I was surprised by this as he was bed ridden prior to his death. His eyes were open but he wouldn’t look at me. I sat next to him on the radiator. All of a sudden, the heart monitor machine goes off. Nurse walks in and slaps it, stopping the noise. She left the room saying that “sometimes happens”. It’s also when I notice a few children playing in the corner of his room.

I turn back to him (he’s still not looking at me) and I ask him how he’s doing? He replies, “I can’t see, but they said it will get better.” *Important for end of story

During our brief time together, it was a relatively “cold” and quick interaction. Soon, his father walks into the room (his father was still alive at time of the dream). David finally shows emotion, walks over to his father to hug, and they leave the room. End of dream.

Next morning, I’m talking to David’s brother in law to share the dream. His BIL in shock asked me not to share that dream with other close family members as they were having an understandably difficult time. Then his BIL shared this with me; After David’s death, Organ Donation spoke with his parents to advise that the only organ they could take from his cancer ridden body was his eyes.

True story, and why I believe there is more to our lives than we know.
