Well said Guilio. I was asleep when my uncle from 2
states away appeared in my room and jokingly told me
he had died. I woke up, thought it was just a morbid
dream, vowed to call him later to check up on him, and
went back to sleep. Later that morning I got a phone
call from his grand-daughter who told me that he had
either accidently or purposely removed his oxygen mask
the night before and died as a result of it. I can't
explain this, but I cannot disbelieve it either
because it HAPPENED. So I would encourage Samantha to
keep a dream log. If the bond between her and Michael
was a strong as she said, I cannot imagine that he
would not try to communicate with her if he could. And
my own experience tells me that we are most receptive
to this sort of thing in REM state.
