I saw my best friend’s grandpa in my dream and he died in his sleep the same night
I don’t use Reddit much but I wanted to share this message, I feel crazy even typing this.
My best friend’s grandfather was a big part of my childhood (we call him Da). He would drive us to all of our sport events, we would sleep over his house, and just spend a lot of time with him. For the past few years his health really started to decline, to much regret I didn’t visit him or really even think about him.
I’ve always had pretty vivid dreams, but two nights ago was different. It felt so real.
The dream:
I saw Da sitting on a park bench. I went up to him and waited for him to recognize me (he had dementia towards the end). Once he realized it was me, he said my name and grabbed both of my hands. We said we loved each other and I walked away.
The next morning I woke up to a text from my best friend that Da passed away in his sleep. I’m still so shook by this. In all honesty I haven’t thought about the man in a while.
Maybe this was just a crazy coincidence? Just felt so real.
