Why do we dream ? I keep asking myself the same question since Saturday as I did a strange dream in the night of Friday and I cannot help but to think about it...
I was in a room with somebody from my family. I cannot tell who it was but I know it was either my mom or her sister. Anyways, I was chatting with this person until my eye caught something: my grand-mother, who past away in July, was with us, taking part in the conversation. But it seemed that no one but me realized that she was among us. And as she was talking to me, I kept repeating "you cannot be here with us because you are dead. You should not be here. Go away". But she kept repeating the same thing: "no, I am not gone. I am here with you, by your side". I do not remember the end of my dream. The weird thing is that when I woke up the next day, I did not remember that dream. And all of a sudden, as I was driving back from boxing, I thought about it...

Dreams are supposed to be a way to express our deepest fears. It is a solution to externalize our demons. But I cannot understand the meaning of this dream: did she try to tell me that no matter how long I would live, she would always be on my side ? I think so. I think it was a positive dream to remind me that as long as you keep that person in your heart, she remains with you for life.

I like to think about her in a Buddhist way: when her time came, her spirit left her body to start a new adventure. But her body went his way as well as she gave it to save others' life. There are 2 dimensions in this: the spirit goes to its next step (reincarnation) and the body goes back to dust. But before going back to dust, the body achieves another step by helping the others. My grand mother gave her body to science to help doctors to understand human body. This is a incredible gift she did and I am very proud of her !
