Kerry-Anne from Hazelwood, MO, asked:
Hello Julie,
My dad hasn’t had the greatest year, health-wise. He’s struggling with colitis and recently diagnosed dementia (small vessel disease). He has a strong will to live and says he’s going to beat his illness and will be healthy again.
This afternoon, he came by my house to tell me about a vivid dream he had last night. He rarely dreams, but said he was able to see and remember every detail of his life including every person’s name, every situation, things he long forgot, he was able to recall with incredible detail.
I asked him how he felt after his dream and he said incredible! He said he’s never had a dream like that and that it was neat to go back and revisit everything.
After about an hour, he left and I immediately felt emotional – happy and proud of the life he just described, but immensely sad to feel life without him.
Would you happen to have any insight into what stage my father is in, and if the dream he described was maybe a life review?
Thanks so much, many blessings to you,
Kerry-Anne
Hi Kerry- Anne,
Sure sounds like your dad witnessed what many Near-Death Experience (NDE) survivors call a life review.
And, it makes sense to me that your dad would have the opportunity to watch his life review as part of his end-of-life process.
To get more information for you, I energetically connected to you and from you to your dad.
He is currently in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition® which means he’s surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets.
A free, downloadable, chart illustrating the Twelve Phases of Transition® can be found on my askjulieryan.com website.
People can move through the Phases quickly or take days, weeks, months, even years to pass. In addition, people can vacillate between Phases and even come completely out of them.
In his book Death is but a Dream, Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, discusses how his university-based research shows 90% of people experience dreams and visits from deceased loved ones and pets at the end of their lives.
When our dying loved ones experience what could be called “spiritual” events, we often think they’re hallucinating. Be assured, they aren’t. Hallucinations are upsetting and these dreams and visits are comforting.
As you go through this process with your dad, do your best to focus on how heart-warming it must be for him to have begun these seemingly miraculous encounters as he prepares to transition.
For more information, please consider reading a copy of my Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next and then give it to your dad to read.
Hope you find my book comforting and enjoyable too!
