Good Friday Dream
In my dream, on Good Friday, I had a phone call from my dad. Nothing out of the ordinary — except that my dad passed away from the earth 15 years ago! This wonderful experience occurred just after 4 a.m. as I was coming out of sleep, still not fully awake — a half-and-half state one might say.
I found myself downstairs in the house where it was quite noisy, with people talking and music playing, not that I minded. I heard the house phone ring and picked it up, putting the phone against one ear. I had my finger in the other ear to keep out the noise in the house. It was my dad on the line, his voice as clear as anything, talking and sounding exactly like he always did. He spoke for perhaps 15 or 20 seconds, asking how I was, and how everyone else was. I told him we were fine, but the conversation ended when I slightly moved the finger in my ear.
The next thing I knew I was back in bed, with tears of joy rolling down my face. What had happened was so real! This must have been how the Disciples felt when knowing that the Teacher lived on, albeit in a different body, but with his love undimmed. What an absolute joy it is to have a confirmation of these things.
