(29,414 posts)I once had a really vivid dream of the afterlife.
I even posted about it here on DU, years ago.
I dreamed it was kind of like a health spa, or a ski resort during the summertime.
Quiet, beautiful, surrounded by nature.
It wasn't a final destination, I somehow knew.
It was a temporary place for newly dead people to adjust to their new reality, and come to terms with any "unfinished business" they'd left behind.
Not that they could do anything about it, it was more a mental adjustment about letting the past go.
There were opportunities to resolve hurts or other forms of unhappiness.
At some point, it was known that you would move on. To what, I never found out. Another life? A "heaven"? I really had no idea.
It was a dream that really stuck with me. As you can see, it still has, even after all these years.
