Hey guys, new to the forums!

I'm sure everyone has their share of meeting and seeing dead relatives and family members in dreams. This one hits a little closer than it should. Let me tell you a little bit about my experience.

I'm not really that new to lucid dreaming, but, in this one I didn't know I was dreaming. However, it felt more real that being awake (that's why this is so wierd). I had this dream about 3 months ago. I was in a house that I felt was mine but don't recall anything before this.

I look over, standing in my house, and illuminating with radiant colors is my dead aunt who has been deceased for almost 15 years. Now, when I saw her I felt my face grin and I reached out to hug her. It felt real. I talked with her for what seemed to be a few minutes but my dream recollection ability is not very good and I didn't write it down. Again, let me emphasize just how real, or, more conscious I felt.

Less than a month later, my Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is doing well now though, only level 1. When she first told me this, I flashed back to the dream and starting thinking about it again. My Aunt died of breast cancer, and on the same breast. I never have recalled a dream of my Aunt, so this was strange for it to be the first one.

Now I realize that this could just be a coincidence, but, this was the most surreal experience that I've ever encountered in a dream, and I've had many strange ones.

Thanks for reading.
