So about a year ago, I had a dream about my grandma. Before I go into this, you'll need some background. I was born away from her and didn't meet her until I was 8 and we've never been close. In fact I could argue that she hated me, why? I'm not sure, maybe because I was the only grandchild bold enough to challenge her. Throughout my young life she called me fat, worthless, hurt me over and over, and on my 18th birthday, told me she hopes I get hit by a semi.

Yeah, and this isn't senility. She was a freakin awesome grandma to my little brother and all of my cousins, but she never got along with me.

Well she died last August I think it was, and my mom came to live with me for a while to get back on her feet since she had lived with my grandma, taking care of her. Bash me if you want, but I didn't cry when she died and I couldn't be overly sad.

About a month after my mom came, I saw my grandma in a dream. She was in my bedroom, and stood up and just looked at me, with pleading eyes, like she couldn't talk, somehow in my dream I knew she couldn't, but I knew what she wanted. I almost cried then,(in my dream) and i said "Grandma, we're fine, we're all fine. It's ok." And she disappeared. I woke up and still felt like crying.

Did she visit my dream, and if so, why me when we didn't get along? and if not, why would I dream about someone I didn't care for as if she cared for me? Just thought it was interesting, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Any comments or ideas?

My idea, is that when two people are so connected without a ocnnection they can be hateful to each other, (like a husband and wife that got too comfortable with each other) sometimes you want to say something nice, but nothing but nasty stuff comes out. Im not sure if you are familiar with that.

I seen a ghost of a little boy when I was 13 so I beleve in the afterlife, there is something after death. Maybe in the afterlife your grandma no longer holds the hatred, and in being so....she came to comfort you.

Thats just a guess, Im not psychic or anything of that nature, but there are psychic groups that evaluate things for you like this. There are different time frames for the dead, maybe her month pause was a blink of an eye for her in her death time?

Hope you get it figured out, things like this can drive a person nuts. lol
