Truth Seeker
That reminds me of a dream that I had in which my father unexpectedly appeared; this was years before his death. In the dream I was in this town that looked like something out of the old West; there were no proper sidewalks, just wooden boards in places, and old fashioned buildings with bat wing doors. Suddenly my father appeared, wearing what looked like buckskin or suede clothing, and he looked startled to see me there. He didn't speak to me, but went through a door that had a wooden sign over it that read Post Office.Good analogy, Paint. I would also add that for myself, I am never in "child" mode when an actual visit takes place and I have actually had visitors state, "I have come to tell you..." This to me indicates a visit vs a dream only.
Visitation dreams tend to be extremely clear and vivid, like on that new film Paint mentions. And they stick in memory.
Later that day, I went to check my mail, and found a letter from him.
