Everyday

I had a really strong dream of Oma last night that was probably my clearest dream yet.
My Opa, Dad, and Uncle Randy and I were hanging out in a dream right before this one. We went to a photography class and photography expo. They were young and I was happy we were all doing something together. Anyhow, back to my dream with Oma...
It was at her house on Bear Creek and she was outside hanging clothes on a clothesline in the backyard by the pool and her bathroom window. She looked like I remember her looking before she got sick. She carried the dry clothes into her house and I followed her and sat on her bed as she put them alway in the closet. Her favorite Italian shoes were lined up and all of her clothes were hung. The house looked so beautiful, better than I ever remember it looking in "real life".
I am always crying uncontrollably when I see her, not like a sad cry, but the tears stream down my face. I told her I miss her a lot and she said she knew. I asked her if she checks in on me and Andrew and she said yes. I asked her how often and she said all the time. I said but how often is that in "our time" and she said, "everyday". I asked if she can see me and what I am wearing and what I am doing and she said, not really, but instead she see's our spirit/soul and she knows how we feel. It seemed like she was struggling for the words to explain it.
I asked her if she saw God or Jesus and what happened after she died. She said she that was something she couldn't tell me but I got this feeling she was God, like He was using her to communicate with me. I can't explain it but this is when the dream started to change.
I told her I wasn't going to leave and that I wasn't going to let this dream end, and it actually worked and I was able to keep it together.
I asked her how can I find her again and for some reason I started talking about Skype. She told me she will always be there when I need her and that I already know how to contact her.
She said it was time that I have to leave and I said no that I wanted to stay with her. She laughed nonchalantly and said, "No, you have to go." She walked me to the back door and we walked into the backyard. There were other people in the house and yard that I didn't know. My brother walked with me as we headed to the back house.
I looked over my shoulder and watched as she walked over to someone and started talking, but she was young again and her hair was in a ponytail and long and straight.
I waved goodbye, followed my brother into the back house, and woke up.

What this dream said to me was that she is okay and she is in heaven and I am sure without a doubt that is pretty close to what a heaven would look like for her. She'd be chillin in her home, hanging her beautiful clothes, and having a party. I am sure that her spirit is in the presence of God and when I got the feeling she "was" God it was because her Holy Spirit is now completely in His presence in heaven and it is through Him that she can come to me in my dreams and tell me that she watches over us and tell me that it is okay and we will be together again. I am so thankful my brother was there with me in my dream and, although he might not have any recollection of a dream of her last night, he was there with me.
I talked to my dad later about this dream and he had the most amazing story. Shorty after my Opa died (when I was only 2) my dad had a very similar dream. He was at their house on Bear Creek, at the dining room table (just like the last dream I had when she showed me the bank), and Opa told him it was okay and that we would all be together again too. He said my dad could always see him in his dreams and my dad felt so good when he woke up.
It doesn't surprise me that our dreams are so similar. Dreams are amazing and powerful and if you look at how many times it is used in the bible it's ALOT! Read Job 33:15. It's kind of used in a negative way in that passage but I think a lot is revealed in dreams in the bible.
I am sure for the rest of my life she will come to me in dreams, either when I ask her to, or just because. She will always be there if I need her. And when my slumber is eternal it will be though the my Heavenly Father that our souls will be reunited again, in His presence forever.
