The Gates of Heaven?

When I woke up, I truly thought I was dead. I saw a light coming from down the hallway (which in my fully awake state I’m sure was just the stereo light), but I refused to go near it. I was so scared and I didn’t want to be dead. It was so realistic and everything about this heaven seemed real. I remember when I looked out my backdoor in the dream I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. I COULD FEEL IT! And I didn’t wake up then either which is another reason I thought I was really dead. When I was awake though, I remembered that my family is planning a big snow trip in March and I started getting really scared that I was going to die then. I don’t know what this dream is supposed to mean. Is it some sort of sign? Or was it nothing more than my brain conjuring up random dreams?
