Just wanted to share a quick story of a death experience I had as a child. When I was 6 years old, I had a vivid and realistic dream that my grandfather died. I was pretty close with him growing up even though he lived about 5 hours away. In the dream, we were at a water park at the top of the slide. He told me he had to leave. I was sad and told him I didn’t want him to leave. He then said goodbye and pushed me down the water slide. When I hit the water, I awoke from the dream. It was in the middle of the night and I was sad and crying. My father heard me and woke up and came to check on me. I was telling him I wanted to call “grandpa”, but he said it was too late in night and we could call him tomorrow. I then started asking my father questions about heaven, hell, and where people go when they die. Fast forward to later that day around noon, and my mother gets a call that “grandpa died”. Both of my parents were very surprised about the foretelling dream. I can’t explain it, maybe it was just a coincidence, but unlikely. I wonder if it was spiritual communication indicating there is life after death or that human brains send off remote communication signals in ways we do not yet understand. I would love to hear people’s thoughts on this or from those with similar experiences.

I also posted this in a message above: When I was 6 years old, I had a vivid and realistic dream that my grandfather died.

I wonder if it was spiritual communication indicating there is life after death or that human brains send off remote communication signals in ways we do not yet understand. Since then, I have had several other realistic dreams (usually warning me of something). These dreams all had a similar feeling and felt different than normal dreams. I would love to hear people’s thoughts on this or from those with similar experiences.

@OP-pe4yc not possible because they weren’t aware he had died at that point.
