Hi newcooler,
I think you're right, this was a visitation dream. I have been taught by inner guides to relate numbers in dreams to the Major Arcana cards in Tarot, and oddly, it's usually relevant to other people's dreams as well as my own. Major Arcana 13, or XIII is Death. He's telling you he's dead, but this card teaches that death is really just CHANGE. By being able to come to you in your dream, he's telling you that really, he's not! Yet, you can't turn back the clock, i.e., bring him back as he was. He has to move on. Change is inevitable.
I'm assuming this forty day thing is about when the spirit leaves the vicinity of the earth plane? I'm not familiar with the custom, but that would make sense to me. Spirits can often affect electronic devices, so the thing with your dad and the clock was synchronicity related to your dream. He's saying goodbye, he has to move on, he can't come back. He's saying... 5:30... 5+3=8... VIII is Strength in Tarot... to have strength in the face of his death. Understand, he is okay where he's going, on to his own new stage of growth, whatever that is. We can't really know fully what is involved. He wants you to know! To help you stop fearing death, to be strong.
That's a cool dream and synchronicity combo, really! Thanks for sharing it!
