As a Christian, I have to say, there things we really need to be careful of. Each one of us interprets things differently when it comes to dreams, visits from the other side, etc. Personally, I have had too many incidents where I've been talking to my Mom and Dad, or I've heard their voices. I also had a visit from Bert's brother shortly after his suicide letting me know he was okay. Mac, I know I appreciated the song you sent me that you wrote about your visit from your friend in your dream. Karen, I have to say, I'm disappointed in you for some of the harsh words you have sent on this list with regards to dreams and evil spirits. Remember that Paul had his Damascus Road experience in a dreamlike state. Remember that the two men on their way to Emmaus didn't know it was Jesus they were talking to, until the bread was broken and their eyes were opened. Remember that God has appeared in dreams to countless people in the Bible. Could you please try to be more gentle in your approach, especially to those on the list who have recently lost loved ones. Bea.
