Comments for He Turned Into Light: Page 1

Hello Jubeele.

"My impression is that he came back to help you deal with losing a friend."

To be honest, I think we didn't have the time to develop a real friendship. We would see each other for not more than five times a year and always within a work related situation. Except for those two evenings talking by the sea, we were always surrounded by coworkers.

Your words make me wonder if, on a subconscious level, I cared for him more than I was aware of and his death affected me more than what I realized it did.

Always good to hear from you.

Thanks for reading my story. I would say that all my dreams of JR felt different to my typical dreams. Although not frequently, sometimes I have dreams with my dead relatives but never before or after JR I have been aware that we were not on the same side of the veil.
These dreams are mostly family gatherings attended by the dead and the living ones, merry affairs in which I never think on the 'impossibility' of the departed ones mingling with the rest of us.

All the dreams involving JR were gloomy, in dull colours and felt heavy and slow. I really don't recall feeling any weight or warmth coming from his hand, but I will never forget that light.

You are right, swimming with seals was great, specially when a curious pup would come close to the people.

Lady Glow, thanks for sharing this experience with us.

Sometimes acquaintances can have a profound role in our lives without us realising it. Maybe JR, from the other side, has an awareness that we here aren't privileged to. Might explain his showing up in your dreams, especially the final dream, which sounded amazing by the way. Definitely sounds like a visitation dream.
If the other dreams were visitations or not, really can't say. If they weren't you could have been sensing his presence which, coupled with grief, instigated those first few dreams.

But overall it sounds to me like he became aware of some bigger picture and wanted you to know.

Beautiful stuff!

Hello Lady-Glow,
When I started reading your post, I felt like JR was the man you would marry. You both talked and shared valuable time together which no doubt made both of you happy.

When you said you met a Canadian guy and he was the one, I almost felt JR's heart drop. I know he was happy for you, but, do you think he was in love with you and tried to tell you by visiting you in your dreams. 🤔
It was such a romantic but sad experience. I felt very sorry for you finding out that JR was in an accident.

My condolences to you and everyone who knew and loved JR. I hope time has helped you with the loss of JR.

Best wishes,
SWS 😘 ❤

lady-glow,

Your experience struck a chord with me.

I will always remember being informed of my brother's passing and feeling like I was coming apart at the seams. I was descending into a dark hole and suddenly felt a warm glow envelop me and I was back in my living room thinking that my brother's suffering was now over.

The link in our experiences is wondering whether this was a visit or did some kind of coping mechanism take over? Unfortunately, no wisdom or insights on this question. I just don't know.

On another tack, when I was young, I went surfing with seals on a desert reef break in South Australia. If I had known then about the link between seals and great white sharks... Oh well, the silly things you do when you're young and immortally stupid.

lady-glow - In one of your previous submissions you mentioned how you met your husband. As far as I remember you decided to go awol (not on the job) and was it ever well worth it!

I believe that your dreams were more than just dreams. Perhaps JR was still hanging around in case you needed him; perhaps he wasn't quite sure whether it was time for him to leave. He obviously cared for you very much and wanted to be certain that you could cope very well without his presence. On the other hand, it is equally possible that he wanted to remain close to you for a while because he wanted to spend time with you, for his own reasons.

Once you told him that it was unsettling for you when he invaded your dreams he promptly moved on. Mission fulfilled.

Now I have an inkling where the name lady-glow comes from. I don't suppose you'll be more forthcoming with the name "Glo"? No, I thought not 😆

lady-glow, this was bitter-sweet. I've known colleagues who died untimely and the shock of the loss invariably left holes in the workplace. In those days, there was no grief-counselling and sometimes, we weren't even allowed time off from work to attend the funeral.

My impression is that he came back to help you deal with losing a friend. He was already in the next room, in another realm. Maybe it was not so much a half-open door, but a door half-closed. He was waiting for you to accept the fleeting nature of life. You were waking up tired and upset, until you decided to let him go.

I think his turning into white light was some form of transfiguration as he moved on, much like others have described during similar encounters. It is significant that you felt a sense of peace and woke up feeling good about it.

When you mentioned: "other times it was me who had died and he was still alive", I'm reminded of the movie, "Sixth Sense", where the protagonist was the one who had died. Or a glitch in the matrix and he had gone ahead into an alternate universe, leaving the rest of us behind.

You've given me food for thought. Thanks for sharing this memory with us.

lady-glow--Really enjoyed reading your thought provoking account. It does seem quite likely that JR simply wanted to wish you well and to let you know you had affected his life in a positive way.

I was curious to know if the final dream you had of JR felt different from a typical dream? Did you feel his hand when you took his? Did your surroundings seem tangible like that of waking life? Were colors noticeable and vibrant? If so, I'd say JR did indeed pay you a visitation dream. Your description of the light that accompanied his disintegration certainly seems to have stuck with you--which makes sense as it must have been quite beautiful.

On another note, it must have been wild to swim with seals!
