Dreams Prior to My Stepfather's Death

[IrisRavenstar]

This is an old post in my files from the time my stepfather died. I actually started having precognitive dreams about his death at least seven years before he died. This is just the dreams and synchronicities that came during the month prior to his death. It seemed as if the frequency was stepped up during that time period to prepare me. I just thought some might find it educational as to how dreams of a family member's death might come. Someday, I have to go back through all my journals and collect all of the dreams about him, I think. It will be the second anniversary of his death in a few days, so he's on my mind! The rest, from here on, is an older post:

My stepfather died on Aug. 1, 2007. I have been dreaming about his impending death for at least five and a half years. My dreams told me it would be the first of five deaths in my family that would come close together.

Just running through synchronicities and dreams/visions in July, the month before his death...

July 5: As waking, I see the route from my son's house, and then a skull, and some numbers totalling 13 (XIII in Tarot is Death). Later, he calls and tells me that someone he drove to a meeting with just invited him to a funeral, but he declined as he didn't want to think about family and friends who had died.

July 12: Vision of the number "1" and awareness that it means my stepfather is the first death.

July 14: Heard an inner voice during the night say, "I've got to go." I thought it was my stepfather.

July 15: While out shopping, first I found 13 cents (three pennies and a dime) right next to my driver's door when I returned to my car from Sears. I'm sure they were not there when I went in, because I have a habit of scanning for coins. Then later went to Target and when I came out, saw a car with Florida plates (my stepfather lived in Florida) with a dancing dog on the plate (he referred to himself constantly as the "Old Dog." He used to be a commercial fisherman, and an artist who painted seascapes). The numbers on the license plate totalled 13. I somehow managed to pass this same car and license plate two more times. So I saw it three times. I actually got angry with guides over the dog being too cartoonish, and not taking his death, if it was real (at that time I was doubtful) seriously enough. (I can be a brat!)

July 19: Saw printed, "13-J" (His name is John.)

July 21: Saw on waking, a vision of five women's hats, what I thought were called a cloche, all black, some with veils. They looked like something someone would wear to a funeral. There were two in the top row, and three in the row below it. Cloche has the same root as bell or clock. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls" was my first association.

July 22: Vision of the year "2002". I went back after his death, and found dreams about my stepfather's death, and near them was a dream of a bridge collapse that I described as looking silver. (He died within days of the Minneapolis bridge collapse, and when I first saw that, I also described it to myself as looking silver, but at the time, had not yet checked back and seen that dream.)

July 26, Naptime: I dreamed I saw an evergreen tree. It looked as if it had been dug up, and a large piece of burlap placed under the roots, but it hadn't yet been gathered around the trunk and tied to make a root ball. I thought it was being readied to move to a new location, but wasn't quite ready yet.

July 30: Heard an inner voice say, "I'm free!" It sounded happy!

Aug. 3: My mom's cousin, Ella, called to tell me that my Aunt Frances just called her and told her that my stepfather died on Aug. 1. My brother had been busy getting drunk over it with Frances's son, my cousin Jeffrey, and neglected to call either of us!
