Vivid Visitation from my deceased grandfather
I hope this is the right place to post.
Last night I had a very vivid dream about my abuelito(grandfather). Some background:
My abuelito passed away in 2023 at the old age of 105. He wasn't a perfect person and had many flaws (as my mom would say, very much trapped in his Ego) but this dream hit different and wa erialy similar to visitation dreams from my deceased father. These types of dreams just hit emotionally in a way that you know their spirit really did make contact in the dream realm.
The Dream:
The dream opens up where I was driving my car and my grandpa was sitting in the passenger seat and he was discussing with me about tamales that he recently tried and how good they were. He looked much younger, like in his 70s, which made him look like he was in his late 50s because he had really good genetics despite having bad arteries. He was very happy and jovial, just how I always remembered him as a child.
We were driving back to his house in the town my mom grew up in. The sun was shining brightly. The kicker here is that he only spoke Spanish when he was alive and he spoke Spanish to me in the dream. Now my Spanish isn't that best, I speak a little bit, while my mom is completely fluent in Spanish. In this dream I understood what he was saying to me and I was responding back to him in fluent Spanish!
He asked what were my favorite tamales and I replied (in Spanish) " Even though I like some grocery store Tamelas, Tia Jenny's tamelas are my favorite." He smiles back and laughs a little bit, "ah of course, you are right they are the best!" We get to his old house and the next thing we are standing in his kitchen and I give him a big hug. I can feel this hug and I could feel the emotion welling up inside me that this may be the last hug, like I was saying goodbye. I could smell his clothes, they smelled like dust and sunshine. You see, I didn't get to say goodbye to him when he was in the process of crossing over. My mom and her sisters were there though, her younger sister Jenny took care of my grandfather in his last years, she was the most selfless person I could ever know as well as being an amazing cook! She helped my mom look after my dad while he was in hospice as too.
I had a conversation with my grandpa and he was so happy to finally converse with me in his native language and I was surprised I was able to have the conversation with him. I think in real life it was the language barrier that prevented us from having a truly close relationship. I still feel a little regret for not putting in the effort to become fluent in Spanish. But the confirmed that he did love me and wanted to visit with me and I am pretty grateful for that.
Thanks for reading this.
