Afraid of Dying

Last night I went to bed as usual, no special thoughts, just my daily prayers, asking for enlightenment and understanding about the meaning of life. Then my dream started; I was being told by this woman that my time in earth was to be completed, that I was going to die soon. At the beginning of the dream I was scared of course, nobody wants to die, but this woman explained to me that dying is as natural as being born. She asked me if I remember when I was born, of course I did not. She said that the act passing is the same, it happens but we don’t feel any pain or grief.

She took me to this room where there was several people waiting, then she told me to pick the clothing I was to wear when I go the next place. She said she would go to the room where my body was and wait until it was over. She said she’ll then return to me to give instructions what to do next, meanwhile I was admiring the different type of clothing one can wear into the other side, different colors and textures, all shimmering with lights almost transparent. I recalled I did not want to wear anything yellow because will accentuate the fact that I was dead and could be frightening to my family.

Then this lady reaper came again and told me it was done. I wanted to feel sad and scared but actually it feel very good, I felt so peaceful and happy. I asked about my family and she said that for two weeks I had to be with them, comforting them and somehow manifest myself to them to help them with the grief, and only then I would move on to the other side to a place already assigned to me. This woman was very nice and helpful and guided me through with lots of understanding and affection that I never felt threatened or afraid, it was so natural that when I woke up I felt refreshed and warmed all over. It was a dream so vivid as that it made me wonder if when one dies it be something like that. I hope so.

Thank you for reading this crazy dream.

God bless.

Rumar; Thanks for sharing. My mother-in-law passed away on October 16th. My hopes for her to go quickly and peacefully were intense and I hope she had angels with her that made her feel the way you describe your dream to be. She was taken from us quickly 2 weeks to absorb the finality. But, with faith we know we are on one of the journeys "life" and on to another journey "death". Thank you for the comfort I found in your story.
