I once dreamed of Mary, but since my imagination is an active one, it maybe was just that, but I remember I couldn’t stop touching the hem of her garment and I wouldn’t leave her side and she didn’t care at all that I stayed. She was very patient and loving and many others were gathered around her as well. Anyone else have dreams where saints appear?

Watched "Into Great Silence" on EWTN a few nights back (what a relaxing production!):

Nestled deep in the postcard-perfect French Alps, the Grande Chartreuse is considered one of the world’s most ascetic monasteries. In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Gröning wrote to the Carthusian order for permission to make a documentary about them. They said they would get back to him. Sixteen years later, they were ready. Gröning, sans crew or artificial lighting, lived in the monks’ quarters for six months—filming their daily prayers, tasks, rituals and rare outdoor excursions. This transcendent, closely observed film seeks to embody a monastery, rather than simply depict one—it has no score, no voiceover and no archival footage. What remains is stunningly elemental: time, space and light. --Link

No, but will monitor the thread for others.

I have prayed. I asked for Padro Pio’s prays. When I worked I would get fresh flowers odor in the truck. I thought someone’s perfume. Then remember the pray. You know his trademark. Praise Jesus!
