I had a strange experience when my father died. He died on Easter Sunday between 5:30 and 6 am in Dallas TX, 2000 AD.

I was asleep and awoke from a dream around 6:43 am near DC. I had dreamed that my father had come to me to thank me for telling him about God and Christ and that he had to go. The dream bothered me and I laid down and tried to go back to sleep, finally doing so.

I got a call around 7:30 from my uncle about my father's death. When he told me when my father died, I had a chill down my spine like never before.

Was it all just a coincidence? I know many will say so, even if the odds were astronomical. I feel he visited me, but who can know? Started reading up on NDEs after that and didnt find anything like what I had experienced. Oh well.

It must be absolutely fantastic to know that your help in leading him to Christ was important enough to him to make him seek you out to thank you for it.

[Hebrews 11:6]

CS Lewis reported that JRR Tolkien, his close friend and brother Christian, visited him in spirit immediately after dying to reassure Lewis that dying was not scary.

Over the years, I have read lots of stories of people who had experiences of seeing people in dreams or even talking to them to find out that they had died around the same time...This even happened to the son of a friend of mine when his mother died.

I had a similar experience when my Brother died. I was asleep and dreaming about walking with him down a street lined with small houses with white picket fences. Standing in the yard of each house was a family member who had already passed away. Unfortunately my wife awoke me at that moment. I noticed the clock as soon as I opened my eyes, so I knew the exact time. A couple of hours later I received word that his plane had crashed during a training exercise. The time of the crash and the dream were identical.

A couple of months later he managed to send us an unmistakable message. No one in the family has been afraid of death since that time.
