I can write a book but here's one.

When my great grandfather was sick, I was young about 8 years old, I remember my grandmother on the phone with her sister talking about how he had said he had a dream of his father and brother who had long ago died telling him he should be coming home. I was snooping on her listening to hear what she'd say but I remember the feeling I got realising they were thinking he'll probably die soon

One day he woke up earlier in the morning and told my great grandmother he just had a dream of his brother and father telling him to get ready because it was time for him to come home. So my great grandmother rushed to the neighbors who had a phone to call my grandmother.

When she came back he had died.

All three of them slept the night before funeral downstairs at what was a small kitchen and what we called the summer room. Late that night they heard someone cough and what sounded like someone walking and dragging their foot slightly. My great grandfather was in a war, he lost his eye and his leg was somewhat paralyzed so when he walked he dragged one of his feet slightly and his galoshes made this very distinct noise. Which I also liked mimicking for whatever reason.
They say that's the sound they heard. We had a dog chained outside near the walkway in the yard and they said he first started to growl, then got quiet suddenly. Few seconds later they saw the shadow of a man walking toward the entrance door, leaving, same foot dragging noise my great grandfather always made when he walked.

Then either several days later or around the 40th day, I can't recall exactly, (there's food given away then in name of the dead person) my grandmother and her sister had the same dream that same night.

Both dreamt they were on the same small boat with an old guy with a white beard, who tells them he will now take them to see where their father lived now. He tells them they'll see people they know but not to touch them or they would stay there with them.

Both my grandmother and her sister described going trough a dark tunnel then on the other side they end up at either a small lake or small quiet river. They describe a big meadow with green (green color like they have never seen) grass, and familiar people who it appeared to them were having a picnic going on. They ended up recognizing who the people were - aunts, uncles, kids who had died, some a long time ago.

The old man pointed and told both '...and this is where you father lives now'. Both saw the same thing- a building with stained glass windows and rounded roofs similar to an orthodox church. Which is interesing because I think he was an atheist. He was in a war and lost one eye and one of his legs was partially paralised.

On the way back they said their relatives were all waving at them. My grandmother almost hugged one of her aunts but the old guy stopped her.

One winter I went up to the room where he died to dry out from the snow. ANd I laid down on my grandma's bed. It was very quiet but suddenly I started hearing heavy breathing, the way my great grandpa was breathing. It got really close to me, like someone was sitting right next to me, I felt a chill and ran out with my shoes and jacket in probably less than 5 seconds.

My mom and aunt too had the same dream the same night of my grandfather who had died 6 months earlier, being unhappy they aren't planning our annual family meet up. He told both of them to make it happen. So they did, after that again both of them had a dream where he was sitting in the kitchen, smoking looking out the window really happy.

A friend of mine recently had a dream of her dead grandfather, dressing up in a suit looking very serious, like he was going somewhere. She mentioned it at a forum we hang out at, trying to figure out what it meant. Two days later her grandmother, his wife, died.

My boyfriend's grandmother who's almost 95 years old also had several dreams of her husband and others telling her she was past her time. She says she shooshed them away told them to get lost

Way too many coincidences like these for there not at least consider there's something. Of course if someone doesn't want to believe that's their choice but other experiences I've had personally show me otherwise

FYI Christianity believes once you die, you don't go anywhere, you just fall asleep and are awaken when the rapture occurs. So things like that don't really fit with the dogma. Even though Jesus does hint at reincarnation in the Bibile, but who's reading
