      Leave something behind

      Hi there.

      I'm not the kind of person that shares personal information on the internet, and I also don't go into this section of the forum a lot.
      But a thought just popped into my head I felt like sharing it.

      6 years ago my grandfather passed away, the family was at peace with it since it wasn't an unexpected death or anything.
      I didn't get to spent as much time with him as I wanted though, me being the youngest of his grandchildren he already reached a certain age when I came around.
      But we did have a special connection, I could visit him and we could just sit there for hours listening to music or something on tv. It was never an awkward silence even though we never really knew what to say sometimes.

      Back to the dreams.
      In the week before his death I had a dream about him. He looked like how I wanted to remember him, when I was still a kid.
      He had come to visit us and was about to leave in his old rusty car that he also had in reality.
      The strange thing was that the whole family was there on our porch to watch him go.
      He started the engine and then got out of the car and walked up to me, putting his big hand on my shoulder and said; Don't worry, I'll be around.
      He then got back into the car and drove off. Funfact, he turned the other way, he always took a left turn to go home but in the dream he went right.

      Ever since that dream he popped up from time to time in my dreams, as you would expect he appeared less and less frequent during the years. Now he appears whenever I'm doubting myself or feel a bit lonely or just plain out miss him.
      He appeared to my last night but my recall was fuzzy this morning.
      I went to right it down and this thought came to me.

      Do you think we can leave a bit of our dreamselves/souls/ghosts behind for our loved ones?

      I'm not a religious person I don't call myself an atheist or agnostic either it just has no meaning to me.
      But I take comfort in the idea that maybe when it's my time to leave, I can still try and be there for my loved ones in their memory and in their dreams.

      I still don't know why I wanted to share this with you but I felt I needed to.

      Wow, he came to you to say goodbye. That's so touching.

      Ever since that dream he popped up from time to time in my dreams, as you would expect he appeared less and less frequent during the years. Now he appears whenever I'm doubting myself or feel a bit lonely or just plain out miss him.

      From what I have read, I like the idea, that souls stay around for a few weeks after crossing over. Possibly, to make the transition easier for them. After that, they are escorted by family members, friends and helpers to the afterlife. Here they recover from hardship of life on this Earth.

      At first, they keep coming back more often, but when they sense that people left behind are gonna be ok, they come less frequently. But they still may come when we need them.

      I'm not a religious person I don't call myself an atheist or agnostic either it just has no meaning to me.

      I have read a lots of descriptions of the afterlife from people traveling in OBEs. It makes me wanna believe, that there is more to this life than just these few years we get. I'll try to find some links and PM them to you, if interested.

      I still don't know why I wanted to share this with you but I felt I needed to.
      I'm glad you did.

      The fact that a week prior to his passing, he left in a different direction in the dream, says to me he was already ready, fully accepting of the changes to come, on the subconscious level before his conscious body passed. You said he appeared to you in that dream a bit younger. For some reason, when we spiritually mature, we tend to appear in dreams around the age of 30 - no matter how old or young you are when your physical body dies. You want to know if we leave behind a spiritual piece of ourselves for loved ones to find. Think of it this way:

      You have a beacon of light, an invisible umbilical cord, attached to your spiritual being all the time. Your personal spiritual being (body?) - Higher Self/soul - isn't limited to arms legs, head, torso. You have power points in the astral just like you have pressure points in the physical. They are there to "attach" us to other spiritual beings. Nothing, no single part of you, even if it gets amputated in life, no One - gets left behind because the connection to the collective spiritual being is never lost. Its just that when your needing his presence more, you are more aware of his presence. That's why his presence was at first almost daily, then you drifted to having visits on occasion, and now you see him rarely, only during times of crisis, loss, fear of loss, because his presence is like food for your soul.
