Hello, thanks for taking time to read this. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!

I only met my grandmother in real life when I was a young child from the age of 1-3. I don't have any memories of her but I do hear from both sides of my family that she was a wonderful and nice woman.

She has been dead since I was a child, but I had a dream that I bought her a nice, large, gold colored ring. I went to the jewelry store to pick up the ring, and the women working were being so difficult with me like asking questions, what exactly does the ring look like? What are the designs? And I was getting frustrated because I had paid for the ring earlier and now I just wanted to pick it up for my grandmother. And then my grandmother showed up, holding the ring and telling me she absolutely loved it. She said she liked how big it was and then we went out for lunch. Also, I instinctively knew it was her when I saw her.

At lunch, she explained she lived in Canada (but in reality she lived in Belgium). Then I asked her some questions about my grandfather, (I never met him, he died long before I was born from a heart attack, and I only ever saw one picture of him; he looks exactly like my father.. who is extremely ill right now) i told her I only ever saw one photo of him and that I would like to see more, she said she has many photos of him that she will show me.

I can't remember all the details of what we talked about unfortunately but I recall feeling very close and in the presence of a very nice and loving person. She in real life was coined the nickname "bonne mamam" (good mother).

Later in the dream, I went on a field trip with some people from my high school (I'm a college student now) and they wanted me to take photos of them but for some reason the camera wasn't working. It simply would not take photos. I tried and gave up eventually. The field trip was at a pool that had water slides and even boats!

I woke up. These are the only parts of my dream I can remember. I know I talked about more with my grandmother but I cannot remember about what. I have never dreamt about her before, this is the first time. And I feel a little sad today, and I feel strangely attatched to this woman from my dream.

I would like to know the significance of it, like my subconscious mind is trying to say something? Or perhaps there is more to the dream. I can't help but see some sort of connection between the dream and my real life. My boyfriend, I believe will propose to me... I know he has a ring.. but that's all I know. My father is very ill, I do not know how long he will last and I want to see him again but he will not let me see him so ill. Anyone have an ideas? I don't believe in an afterlife, but I wish that was really my grandma visiting me in my dreams...
