I had a dream.

Last night, my grandma who has left us last Ramadhan came and visit me in my dream.

It was so vivid and so real.

The moment I saw her, I went and hugged her hard and reminded her that we have not met for about 3 months.
She looked fine, standing upright and without the pain which she was having before she passed on.

I asked her how it was to be staying at the other side of the wall.
She told me she is doing OK.
I asked too whether she was harrased in any way by the Angels. Grandma confirmed there was no such experience. She managed.

I remembered telling myself in the dream that it was perhaps because grandma was such a very nice lady when she was alive. She never hurt anybody's feelings, never forget her prayers and always willing to help.

She told me that her daughter, whom we called Acik, is now looking after her. Acik passed away in 1996 . Acik's husband who died in 1997 is also there with her.

I asked if she has met my dad.
She said she had. Infact my dad was the first to wait and welcomed her in the alam barzakh.
I thought I saw my dad's shadow there in a distance with grandma.

I cried and asked that she send my salam to my beloved dad and to inform him that I still miss him badly.

Grandma told me not to worry as everybody is alright except my dad is a little disturbed by a knowledge that a certain relative is currently in trouble. That's so like my dad. He was always so concern of everyone when he was alive. She mentioned a name.

I must remember to call my mum today to find out if that person is alright.


Al-Fatihah to all our dearly departed.

Mama Irma,

hjghaz,
Didn't know that you even bother to read an X-file story.
Bought the Dopod with your Ancom profits already?
What are you buying next? what? tell lah!

Mama Irma,

Was at 1Utama last nite window shopping..

Must admit, must confess, teruja wt the Dopod.

But right now very teruja wt 0039 n its warrants..great potentials fundamentally. In a bull market, warrants give us big margins on small outlays, rights?

All the Best on your market plays.

hjghaz,
Bought the last of 838pro from Ge*k at oneUtama last Sunday, RM3288. Next shipment in 2-3month's time! The son don't want to take the risk and settle for an early birthday present. Hope he will not have the cheek to ask for another item when his real birthday arrives!!

0039, hmm..,another Mesdaq counter, eh? Heard that Mesdaq going to explode anytime soon, not the C4 kind, but meletop as per collecting cold cash from the trading floor...Best of luck.

Salam perkenalan Kak Mama Irma,

Was blog-hopping from Kak Teh’s.

I too had a similar encounter once. At that time, my grandma already left the world 2 years before, and my grandpa was very sick. When she left us she was about 65 years old.

In my dream, I saw a 31-year old young lady donned with silky white dress came visited her old house (which was/is now manned by my uncle, her eldest son and where grandpa was living). I remember hugging her and asking her why she was back, she just flared the sweetest smile I shall never forget and murmured that she just wanted to take grandpa away, and later I saw her leaving holding grandpa’s hand lovingly.

Somehow the dream just slipped my mind, I didn’t even share with my mum, until the following 7 days when my grandpa actually passed away.

Was she pre-warning me (being her first and favourite granddaughter) about the imminent passing of grandpa? Only God knows.

nj,
Thank you for dropping by.

I often have these kind of dreams so much so I feel a bit embarrass to relate them to my mother and my spouse.

So I usually keep to myself and realise them to be quite accurate when they happen.

Whenever I meet my dad in my dreams, I will automatically tell him that I either miss him or I love him very much. That's quite strange because no one can control what to say in her dreams.

Once I was in Mecca, my dad held my hand in my sleep before subuh, and asked me to do the Tawwaf with him. Needless to say, I did my Tawwaf that morning after the subuh prayers in Masjidilharam with tears streaming down my entire telekong.....

My mother brushes my encounters as me being too engrossed with my love and affection for my late dad.(eventhough he has passed on for 10years now.)

umm maariyah,
