A Vivid Dream

Sometimes our dreams and minds take us to places that we really do not understand. One night recently, I was resting peacefully in a deep sleep when suddenly in my dream I was riding in an old jeep traveling down the bumpy road.

We drove by this old house, with the roof falling in and it was nearly falling off the foundation blocks. Someone was working on it and I thought that it was a hopeless cause.

My driver drove on (not knowing who he was or what he looked like there really was no vision of his appearance). I only know a man was the driver.

We went around this curve and drove a mile or so and stopped at a dead end with the front bumper against a concrete wall with a fence on top of it. The wall and fence was about five feet tall.

In the distance on my left I saw a raised bed garden made of concrete walls, and the concrete looked freshly poured.

A man was walking from that direction on the other side of the fence. When he was even with our car he stopped and turned toward me. He was tall and had a Roman nose. His clothes were black.

Immediately I recognized that he was a good friend that died in 1999. He looked intently at me. Speaking softly, he said “Charlie where have you been? I have been waiting a long time to see you.”

A sudden chill came over my body. I was so happy to see him. I didn’t know what to say. Thoughts rumbled through my mind. Everything became silent. I never had a chance to answer him. The apparition happened so quickly.

Suddenly I woke up and it was over; but the event still seemed so real. I think that souls visit us if we let them. With his serious gaze upon me, I decided maybe he needed my prayers to be released to heaven.

I did pray for him and maybe someday we will have a lasting meeting.
