I Swear You Will Be Fine

    Day 454 – Alternate Universe

    Dear Josh,

    Thank you for visiting me a lot more.

    Last night’s dream was extra special and extra interesting!

    As usual, you were heavily on my mind before I went to sleep, despite being tired from a full day of work, a walk at the beach and late night company.

    It felt like I was in another country. I was with my cousins – Anta and S Mami. Jess was there too, and Shalini, and I think Ammamma and Tun. It was like we were in a hotel, and I was trying to “busy” myself for a few hours, before I could wake you up.

    Throughout those few hours, the whole group went out for breakfast, and we even went out to buy milk, which I was upset about because the bottle cost $16. Constantly at the back of my mind, was this worry that the time to wake you up was fast approaching. I knew you had died. But in this, you had somehow come back to life. And I was worried about the time approaching because it would prove or disprove your coming back to life. I was even wondering how I was going to explain this to everyone.

    Weirdly, the room you were in, was like a dormitory or University hostel of some sort. And you had your own room.

    I can picture myself slowly opening your room door when it was time to wake you up. But I can’t remember exactly what I saw after. My imagination is probably tricking me into seeing you tucked under your quilt, and sleepily yawning as I woke you up. But I can’t be sure.

    When I finally woke up, I forced myself to remember the dream. Did I actually “wake” you up? I could almost immediately hear your voice saying, “yes, yes Mum, you did!”. 

    As I lay in bed thinking about this, I wondered. Perhaps, there really is an alternate universe. And in the universe you are currently in, are you actually in University? And following your dream?

    It is a nice thought. But of course, like Shalini, Jess and I would counter-argue, couldn’t you have followed your dream together with us? God did not mean for that to happen. I just don’t know why.

    It was still nice- seeing you. And perhaps believing you are indeed in this alternate universe. Following your academic dream, and not suffering.

    Missing you so much.

    Love Mum

      I have a growing belief that the afterlife is just a veil away, not light years from us. And that in this place, life is lived as it should, in cheer, gentleness, compassion and harmony. I have previously “seen” a teacher teach his students, saw the classroom as well, in this next life, so why not a University: your dream confirms what I dreamt as well.

      The part about an approaching time when those gone will be awakened is touching a deep place within my heart. When good people like you either have dreams or sense something like this, I pay close attention. I also know that a number of souls are “being told” of this time too. Some sense that it is closer than anyone realises. Long ago, I dreamt twice of this time when we will see loved ones gone come to be with us. The details of both dreams indicate a time rather than a brief visit. When I had those dreams, I had not yet been aware of literature on this coming time. Hence, I know it is a sign of some sort.

      We must wait patiently, in hope and in prayer. It will come to pass.

        So nice to hear you believe in this too. It is comforting to know Josh and others still get to live their dreams.
