While there are many different types of after-death communications, in a dream, Rose receives the one of practical guidance.

Rose writes:
“I’ve had so many beautiful and amazing visits from my Mother, and lately from my Dad which made me so happy. A little while ago, here in the Hudson River Valley, we had severe thunderstorms with large amounts of rain. One night, my father interrupted a dream I was having. It was so shocking, knowing that he just popped in unexpectedly.

My Dad said, “All is well, however, please watch the rainfall nearby and remember the generator I gave you.” I woke up the next morning, remembering what he said. My day went on and by early evening, the storms came through again, thunder, lightning, severe winds and flooding.

At around 9:30 pm, my neighbor, Dustin, called me to ask how we were doing with all this rain. He is a volunteer fireman. After checking outside and taking one look at our basement, I called him right back because the entire property was a lake! The basement steps were covered in water swirling around to the top of the basement door.

Dustin called the fire department and Central Hudson Company turned off the power to our house. That night was a very long, hot and sweaty night with no power and basement under six feet of water.

The next morning, the water subsided as the catch basins nearby, finally caught up and were doing their job. David, my partner, and I were tired, hot and stressed out. That was the moment when I suddenly remembered the dream and that my father reminded me about the generator. David has one and we never touched my father’s. When I told David the dream I had, we went to the garage. David’s generator which was newer, would not start at all. I told him to please try my dad’s, I knew it would work because he told me it would.

David pulled the generator out of the garage and dusted it off. It started with one pull! We had power again. I sat in the garage and said a prayer to God and to Jesus, thanking them for letting my father come to me to help. I am always so thankful to God and Jesus daily for the blessings of the day.

Commentary- If you know anything about after-death communications, you know the messages that are sent to us by our departed fall into many different categories. Here are some of them that are most common.

Checking in.

This message conveys something to the effect of,

• “Hey, I made it.”
• “Please don’t worry about me, I’m good.”
• “It’s beautiful here.”
• “I’m in a good place.”
• “I’m reunited with loved ones.”
• “I just wanted to let you know.”

Reassurance. (“I got you.”)

• “I’m aware of you.”
• “I’m still with you.”
• “I love and care about you.”
• “Everything will turn out well in the end.”
• “Don’t worry. This is temporary.”
• “We will be reunited again someday.”
• “You can get through this.”
• “I approve. You have my blessing.”
• “We are one.”

Informational. Insight. Enlightening. (On a need to know basis)

• “This is what happened.”
• “This is what will happen.”
• “This is why.”
• “This is how it works.”
• “Here’s some information about you, your life, life in general, and the afterlife.

Giving Thanks.

After-death communications that say,

• “Thanks for everything.”
• “I appreciate you so much.”
• “I see you.”

Subtle Promptings. (Guidance, Advice and Practical reminders)

• “Remember ‘something’ now. It will be helpful to you later.”
• The mention of a particular person and that, “So and so might be able to assist you with that dilemma.”
• A very familiar and meaningful song plays on the radio. “This is a reminder that I love and care about you. We are still one.”
• “Remember who you are.”
• “I’m here guiding you.”

Protect with Urgent Directives. (Warning, Caution that screams, “Do or don’t do this.”)

• “Don’t drive that same way you normally do or even in that direction.”
• “Stay clear of that person.”
• “Get out of the house, car, whatever, NOW.”
• “Get out of the way!”
• “That’s a bad situation. Don’t get involved.”
• “Go a different way.”
• “Do something different with your life.”

Touching base. (Can occur as a unexpected visit because time has passed with less frequent visits)

• “Yep. I’m still here.”
• “Yep. I’m still very aware of your situation.”
• “Here’s an idea for you.”
• “Yep, I’m still doing great.”
• “See all the healing you’ve accomplished? You are doing so much better now. I never wanted you to suffer.”
• “Yep. I still love and care about you. We are one.”

Conclusion

When Rose’s dad came to her in her dream with his message about the generator, it was just what she needed to hear. Without it, her father’s generator would have collected even more dust when it could have been put to good use. 

Since our departed loved ones have a much different perspective than we do, they don’t get all worked up about the small stuff. Rose’s dad knew that, although the rains were coming, Rose and David would be just fine, just hot, uncomfortable and without power. That’s where the generator was such a great idea. Rose’s dad was prompting her in a dream, guiding her, assisting her to remember what he would have done. He would have pulled out that old dusty generator and fired it right up.

Our Angels

We often imagine that our departed loved ones are off, somewhere, clear over there, separate from ourselves and that they have no idea what is going on in our lives. Rose’s father shows how untrue this actually is. Think about this. Rose’s dad knew a rain storm was coming. Just wow! He wanted his daughter to have everything she could need for it. The old, dusty generator started with one pull of the cord. I’d say that’s pretty miraculous. I’d say he was very aware.

Our departed loved ones do watch over us. They love and care for us from beyond. They are familiar with our struggles and our accomplishments. They do their very best to guide us through the situations in our lives. They are our angels, and… we will be angels to the ones we leave behind, as well. We will guide and protect them, too. Because that’s what love does.
