		<description>I have both heard and seen my brother after he died.  I was 11 and he was 15 when he died in a fire.  During the first few weeks, I saw him in my bedroom 3 different times.  Actually it had been his room.  Each time I saw him, I'd go wake my parents up to tell them David was in my room.  My dad would check but not find him.  The last time I saw him, he was standing in my doorway and told me,  "You can't have my room."  My parents moved me to a diffferent bedroom after that.  Years later I dreamed I saw him in a field.  I was so excited, I started running toward him, hollering his name.  When I finally got to him there was a narrow stream of water between us.  I started to step over the water, when David told me to stop, that I couldn't come where he was.  I said, "Why not?  But I want you David!"  He calmly said,  "Because you have to go back.  You can't come where I am.  You have to go back."  Confused and sad, I turned back and walked away.  I know he was trying to tell me that it was ok, that I needed to go on with my life. It was a turning point for me.  God bless you on your journey.</description>

		<description>Visitation dreams are real. People don't  make them up 
Sadly, it does not happen to everyone. This does not mean they are made up.

Check out a book called Grief dreams. TJ Wray. There are better resources but this is a good starting point  I think.</description>

		<description>Thank you Jules, and my condolence on your loss. I thought for sure my brother would come in a dream the next day or so after he died, to show me there in fact is something after death. Hard as I cried, he did not come until about a month after.  Be patient, dreams come when they come. I read somewhere that dreams have more to do with the Dreamer, than the Dreamed Of.  It's all such a mystery and the power of the mind is amazing. But I must say, the dream where he came back to hug me was the most powerful thing I ever dreamed and I think of it often.....even if I did dream it up myself.</description>

		<description>Hi.  I hope that you take comfort that your brother has come to you in your dreams ... of course, there is no real comfort at all, but I am a person who also lost her best friend on the planet just 3 weeks ago to a sudden heart attack.  She was 51 and I am 52 but we still looked and acted young for our age ... she has not let me know that she is okay.  I worry so much about her.  My pain is unfathomable and any dream with her in it would help me.  I am so glad that your brother hugged you and my hope is that you have more dreams to come.  Best wishes even though our lives have been changed forever.</description>

		<description>I had a "dream" as I awakened one morning after my big brother died suddenly.
I was reading a picture with a handwritin message on it. 
It was my brother's handwriting, saying he was with "the one who left early" and that they were working hard on something, (some kind of project of importance). 
As I read the message I focused on the black and white picture. It was a picture of our baby sister who died when we all were kids. 
Another moring I awoke to him hugging me.
Another morning shortly after his death, i awoke to his face right in front of mine. He looked normal, but his pupils were bright white light, instead of black. How strange that was.
I beleive that in grief, our minds are scrambling images together trying to cope with the deepest pain there is, and trying to restart normality. And that's all it really is.</description>

		<description>My brohter died in his sleep on the 25th of September 2010. In April, june and july i told my husband of three dreams that i had. Each dream was the same. My brother was in his bed, and had passed away. I saw him on his bed. This is how i say him  on the day he dies when i had to identify him.I never had this dream after July 2010.
Since his passing, he has come back to me in a dream. I though it was my sub-concious, but deep down  i knew it was not like a 'normal dream'. He came back to me and said :'It was not meant to happen this way", 'I am OK", "I have been busy" "Stop worrying about me" 
It was more detailed and real then my above stated comments. In fact i could not get the experience out of my head............ I am not a medium or any thing like that. My Father had the same experience. i believe our loved ones do come back to try and make us feel better. It does not  make us feel better, beacuse we expect them to keep coming back.They do try and connect all the time. I am already starting to see the signs.I was scared of them, now i cant wait for them.</description>

		<description>Yes. I have. I see my dad occasionally always away from the house in places I cannot stop and stare or approach him. Usually he is another car going the opposite way. I think his spirit watches over me. It reminds me of him and gives me comfort.  I am okay with it and don't believe it is crazy at all. I feel fortunate that he is checking on me and my family. 

I found this site as I am contemplating the loss of my  brother. He is in final stages of cancer. I am searching for ways to comfort him so he can die in peace.</description>
