Dreams

Last night I had a very vivid dream of my Sammy. It was so real that as I woke I swear I felt her beside me. It was like a beautiful reunion. She looked so beautiful and happy. It was a blessed gift. Now I know without a doubt that she will always be with me. :hearts:

Anyone have a smlilar experience with their recently departed furbaby?

that is so lovely. I believe all humans and four footed friends are with us constantly. Like guardian angels watching over us...xxxx
Last night must have been Visiting Sheepie Night because I had a similar one
about Abracadabra. Still doing her magic.
:hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
Yes both my dogs who have crossed the bridge have come back to visit me in a dream. And both were happy and healthy and so glad to see me.

I get all teary just writing about it even after all these years.
It was nice to now that they were happy and playing and thinking of me.

Like yours my dreams were extremely vivid and it really felt like they were actually there with me. :hearts:
:hearts: :hearts: I too have experienced that with both furbabies and people.

My experiences have not really been dreams but more like a presence. After Luke died I continued to "hear" him cry in my sleep. Each time I woke up and realized he no longer needed my help was like a slap in the face. One night I just couldn't stand it and slept on the floor where he used to lay. I felt peaceful and could feel him there, like he was reassuring me he was okay. I had similar things happen with Daisy and Beau.
I dreamed of Ru years before I had him. I dreamed I was snuggling into his chest fur and his head seemed huge.. I remember that dream frequently because it was so vivid yet I had never seen a real life sheepie at the time! I always felt like he was walking with me, I've always had that feeling and get it now with more sheepies when we are walking- and in the house. It's like they are visiting to have a look around before they actually arrive in the flesh 8O

I did that! After we picked Tonks and Luna, but before they came home, I dreamed of them EVERY night. It was so wonderful. And I dreamed of the sheepdog we had as a child. It was all so vivid. If only I had known then that it was the last peaceful sleep I was to have for months... :wink:
Every Saturday afternoon Max would get on the bed with me and we'd take a nap...he'd always put one paw on my chest and I could smell the "frito feet"...I could not bare to take a nap on the Saturday after he was put to sleep but the next Saturday...I did lay down...and right after a good cry, as I began to fall asleep, the smell of "fritos" was as strong as if he was there right beside me...I really think he was trying to tell me everything was okay on the other side.

(For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about when I say frito feet...try searching for it on here...there have been numerous discussions about how OES feet smell like Fritos)
Yes! OMG I forgot to mention that in addition to feeling her right beside me I woke up to the smell of "frito paws"!! Our noses don't lie. She was really there with me. What a lovely thought! :hearts:
I call them my Guardian Angels as I think there is always a presence there even after they have to leave us, wether that is in a dream or something around the house that sets off memories of them.

I am sure they are watching over us forever. :D

Not recently but when I was a teenager, we had a poodle. He was so cute and would wake me up every morning before school. He was very ill and had to be put to sleep. A couple months after his crossing, I woke up to him pouncing on my bed. I remember having those same exact feelings you had. I have long left home but I still feel his spirit when I return. I know he is there looking out for my mom and dad and protecting them in their elder years. I know I sound freaky but I truely do believe that.
I have also been "visited" by my passing fur children. I remember when Ivory came back to visit, I was caught off guard and have only vauge memories... So when Tyler passed over the bridge, I kept telling myself to be aware of the impending visit so I could really experience it. I waited and waited for it to happen, then a few months had passed and I laid down for a nap one afternoon. When I woke I knew he had been with me, my cheeks were wet from tears, I had cried in my dream of him. I only remember his grey fur and the "knowing" he had been there.

It is a special thing to be open enough to allow them to come back to let us know that they are okay, not everyone gets it or understands it. I remember after my dad had passed, he came to see me. I lived across the country from him when he died, and he still found me. I only remember his smell and his voice, he kept calling me by my nick name and telling me "everything will be okay", he repeated it a few times and then the feeling and aroma slowly left... He and I had always talked about the "after life" so he knew I would be open to him and I was.

In my experience, they only visit once, so far they have never come again to see me. But when I let Tyler go over the bridge I told him to look for my dad... I think he did, at least I believe that they are together walking along a garden path and that they are happy.

I'm glad Sammie came to see you...

I believe!
I'm so glad to hear about your visits. It is a beautiful blessing. Our sweet loves never leave us.

I highly recommend a beautiful novel called "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. It is told in the voice of a philosophical lab. The ending affirms my belief in eternal unconditional love. It's being made into a movie soon. Read it this holiday season...it will warm your heart.
I just ordered that book on my kindle! glad to hear it is good to read.
I had a dream about my OES Boo who passed away very suddenly in August. At the time it was very comforting as she was sleeping peacefully as I groomed her gorgeous coat. When I woke up for a split second i thought she was still alive and then i got very upset and confused as i realised she wasnt. I think although it was very comforting it was very difficult as she only left us 4 months ago and I have found it so so difficult to come to terms with. I really do hope that she will visit my dreams again and i will be able to be comforted that she is okay without feeling so sad that i have lost my best friend.
Even though it is sad when we realize our beloved sheepie is gone from this world, you can still take great comfort in knowing that they are with us forever. They come to visit us in our dreams to comfort us and to let us know they are well and happy. Your beautiful dream of grooming her is her way of showing you that love never dies. :hearts:
