I can go quite a time now without seeing Daniel or hearing about him in a dream. Last night however, I heard from him twice. In the first dream, some time before three am, I dreamt that my husband and I were busily running an errand. My husband told me in the dream, that Daniel would be out the rest of the afternoon. He was out with his new friend and they were practicing target shooting with their new rifles. In the dream I was disappointed, because I had hoped to see him and spend time with him when we got home that day.
Of course, I woke up and I don't have the option of completing an important errand and seeing Daniel here at the house afterward.
Later, I fell back to sleep and this time I saw Daniel. He was as happy and as animated as I remember. "Grandma (my husband's mother) said that I should stop by and see you." he said. "Thank you, sweetheart. You know how much I love you", I said. "How are you ?" I asked. Then, he began to tell me of all the magical things he was learning and of all the people he was meeting. He spoke faster than my brain could process, and I am afraid I didn't retain much. I did get the idea that he is safe and well.
I have come to believe that although some of these types of dreams come from my own brain, creating a safe place where I can remember our beloved Daniel, but that these " sightings in dreams" don't all originate this way. I have had dreams in which I have received information from Daniel and from my Dad, which turned out to be factually accurate later.
So, I believe that Daniel visited last night, just to let me know that he is fine, and is thriving. He knows we love to hear from him. Perhaps this is God's way of making our remaining time on Earth tolerable without Daniel, especially when life in the US right now, is so uncertain and scary.
If you have a loved one who has gone on ahead of you, perhaps you can hear from them also by being open to hearing from them in dreams. I hear from Daniel and my Dad and others usually between 3 and 4 am, but sometimes as late as 5 am. I certainly appreciate the encouragement !
