She came back last night

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
At the risk of sounding like a crazy woman I thought I'd post and see if others had this experience.

Last night, Cleo, our beautiful girl we had to have put to sleep last week, came back to me in my dreams. She was sitting on the rug in our living room and I was talking to her. DH walked in and I asked him if he could see her and he said yes. Then I scooped her up and kissed and hugged on her and told her how much I missed her. She was fluffy and healthy again. I felt a sense of relief when I woke up this morning.

This happened last year when we had to put out dog Andy to sleep as well. We were standing in the hallway and he was just standing there, wagging his tail (he had a tumor on his spinal cord and hadn't been able to do that for awhile). I woke up feeling at peace that morning, like he was telling me he was OK again.

It's weird, I NEVER remember my dreams, I even tell people I don't dream because I never remember them. But these two are etched in my mind.

So, am I crazy or do others experience this too? Is it my mind playing tricks on me to push me out of a sadness or do you think its really my friends coming back to let me know they are safe and OK?

Funny thing, I lost my Dad in early July after a long battle with alcoholism. We were estranged. I've never had one of these dreams about him.

Cleo was telling you that she's OK, she's healthy, and she hasn't forgotten you. She still loves you and wants you to not miss her so much.

I'm sorry about your father's passing. Even though you weren't close, I'm sure it still bothered you.

Oh yes. I dreamed of Bella many times after her sudden death. It was very comforting to me. I felt an overwhelming sense of love in the dream. She relieved my guilt and heartache. In my last dream several months ago I saw her sitting in my mom's lap (who passed 6 years ago) and my mom said, "Look who's come to stay with me." I'll never forget that dream.
It just goes to show the depth of love and connection we have with our little ones. Death can only take the body away (until we meet again), but it can't destroy the love or bond. RIP Sweet CLEO

YES YES they DO happen! I am so happy Cleo came to you I know how very, very special Cleo was to you!! That dream should make you feel a bit better. Cleo will come again, too

Having been blessed not to lose one of our kitties yet, I can't speak from experience. But I do know other members of TCS have experienced this (as you're seeing!).

Personally, I believe it was Cleo and Andy, helping you through the process of grieving for them, letting you know they're OK to help you feel better.

What wonderful dreams to have.

I think you're very lucky to have those dreams. I've had very few dreams about my RB cats and dogs, and sometimes wish they'd stop by to see me one more time.

After Lynxx died, he once came back to me in a dream. It was so vivid there's no way it was just a dream. So no you aren't crazy, Cleo and Andy did come back to you. They were showing you they are ok, and saying goodbye.

It's not strange or crazy!

My Chynna went to the Rainbow Bridge last year in July. To this day I still think I sometimes see her out of the corner of my eye or feel her jump up onto the bed and settle on the pillow next to my head. Of course when I look, she isn't there. But thinking that she was gives me comfort.

Years ago we had two cats, Midni9ght and Snowbqll who are both at the Rainbow Bridge now.

After the vet came to our home 10 years ago to help Midnight cross over, my son and I would both sometimes feel something invisible rubbing against our legs. Snowball would always be were we could see him when this happened, and we would notice his eyes and head were following something that was near our legs and then moving away from us. Whenever this happened to me Snowball's eyes would follow this movement until it came to a place on the carpet where Midnight had liked to sit near me during the last weeks of her life.

Thank you for sharing your experiences everyone. A lot of people dont quite understand but it is nice knowing I'm not alone.

I told DH about the dream and he teared up. He said he hadn't seen her but was glad she was whole and fluffy again.

Not strange at all hun,my beliefs are that sometimes dreams are the only way loved ones can communicate with us as I suppose its the only kind of proper quiet time we have and it helps put your mind at rest.I am so glad you had this experience and I hope it has given you some comfort.xx
