Dreams about my dad

[waltie]

I am new to this but I hope that someone can help me interpret these dreams about my Dad. I have a history of dreaming things that do come true but these dreams seem to be different. My Dad died on Oct 9th 2001. A couple of weeks ago I dreamt (i was actually there and able to touch my Dad) that my Dad was sitting on the couch with his hand on his head in the thinking pose. He looked up at me and said,"Can you ask him for help". I asked him who do I ask and he kept saying "ask him for help". Just before the dream ended he told me that it has been 5 years. I realise that the 5 years was the amount of years that he had been dead but I have no idea who I have to ask for help and what sort of help. Well then my next dream was on Sunday morning at about 3am. Dad came to me down a corridor crying and he said to me "18 or 24". He could not stop crying and I woke up in tears. Later that day I realised the numbers were relevant to a game we used to play to help me with my maths. I added both numbers together (42) and then reversed the two numbers so the answer is 24 but I had no idea what the 24 was. I emailed my sister to ask her and then it occurred to me to look in my diary and it was exactly 24 days until the anniversary of his death. It still does not tell me what will occur on this day. I thought it might be that I have to make a truce with my mum (living) before he could move on but last night I found out that it wasn't me. My Dad came to me again and told me it was someone else. I woke up instantly. I know this all sounds weird. I have had dreams where I have predicted my friend's dad was going to fall off a ladder and the following day it occured. Then 3 months later I predicted that he was going to die and it occurred the next day. I only dream bad dreams about other people.I am not an onlooker in these dreams because I can feel the body heat and smell. However, I cannot touch them but I could with my father in these more recent dreams. Can someone please help me interpret these.
