Was my brother contacting me through a dream?


Question Posted Monday October 1 2012, 9:49 pm

So a couple months ago (June) my oldest brother (I have two that I'm very close to) was in the passenger side of a car when some idiot teen girl was speeding,ran a red light,weaved through traffic and directly hit his side totaling both cars beyond repair and she was driving a large Dodge Charger while he was in a small car sort of like a sonata. I was the first person to find out as I picked up the phone when his coworker called telling us what happened. He lived in a county two hours away from us with his roommate/girlfriend who was out of town. When my mom called the hospital the doctors told us he wasn't going to make it and that he might not even still be here by the time we got there (driving).

His skull had been broken in so many places they had to take an entire day fixing it and his brain was very swollen and had been bruised and was bleeding with what they described as having shavings "off the top" from pieces of his skull shattering. The whole thing was incredibly traumatic as we weren't sure if he'd make it or ever be the same but he came out of his coma in late July after several brain surgeries,skull repairment and other repairs on broken bones around his body (his pelvis had been shattered and his femur was split in half as well has having ocular [eye socket] fractures).

There were a lot of days I just stayed by his hospital bed 24/7 alone praying that he'd come around that everything would be alright while his doctors told us not to get our hopes up but he had so many friends that we had entire churches revolving their Sunday services around him with prayer.

Today he's doing SO much better and his surgeons told us they'd NEVER in 50 years of practicing seen a recovery like his and that it was truly a miracle. He's at home with his father and his step mom (their house is very close to the rehab center which he had to be within a certain number of miles of) still recovering but he's himself again,talking just fine like a normal person would,doing things for himself,behaving himself, he's walking around (sometimes for up to a mile) and doing exercises. The only physical thing that's still needs fixing is one of his eyes that was cut by a piece of his skull and in result is out of place and gives him double vision (though the double vision is going away). Mentally he's so close to back up to his pre-accident capacity that we're thankful for it just as he is but he still has breaks in his memory and gets confused with deep conversation or more difficult math problems but then again he was never good at math and I don't know very many people who can do long division off the top of their head. They said it could take another couple months for his brain to recover fully but that it would happen.


Anyways last week after looking for months I got a job with the company he used to work for before the crash but with their corporate division as a tech support person (he worked in sales). It didn't have anything to do with him though I never mentioned who he was in any of the interviews or paperwork and we live in different counties so nobody would know him anyways especially since we have different last names. I just didn't want people hiring me out of pity...

I've been really nervous about it since it's my first job and it's rare that they hire somebody into corporate at such a young age but I had a lot of experience with IT and two certifications in it.
I was really tired today after not getting much sleep last night due to feeling sick and my last dream that I could vividly remember was myself and my grandmother's/mother's/brother's bird in that order in the library of my old school that I graduated from a few weeks before the accident and at graduation was the last time he saw me, I was sitting on the floor with the bird in my hand. The importance of this being the bird died the night before my brother woke up out of his coma and some people said that he needed the extra life from the bird to wake up and that there was a connection between them.

I walked out of the school into the parking lot and there he was standing. He took my hand and led me out to my car and told me not to worry about anything, that I was going to be just fine and that he'd be there with me in spirit on the first day of work making sure I was okay. My other brother was leaning against the car and my mom was standing by it and he told me not to worry about her either as she often tries to keep me from doing things and doesn't want me moving out anytime soon for fear of being alone (shes always had children or a husband or somebody with her). I think my other brother was there because he's the one helping me to buy my first car in a few weeks and these are all big steps for me in moving on with life.

What do you think? I know this was super long but thank you for any serious answers. :)

First, I would like to say I am glad your Brother survived. An even though he had to go through so much trauma, he was able to pull through. Good on him :)


I think your brother was sending you a message. He sent you that dream to let you know that you can stop worrying and that everything will be alright. I also believe that he will be there on your first day of work because he told you that - watch for signs.


Now, I know this may sound `fishy` that a random person reading your question believes this for a moment, but here`s why I believe what you said and that you should trust it » One time my mom had this dream, (at the time I didn`t know it) but she had this dream that my Sister and I were in our house while she was at work when our house caught on fire and I had to save my little Sister and I from the burning house - we barely made it out alive and all our belongings had been destroyed. Soo, the next day my Mom is in a frantic search around the house and I go to my sister and ask her whats up. My sister says she has no idea, but.. after my mom searches the house, calls over a friend, makes him pull the dryer apart, who actually pulls the dryer all apart for her and says nothings wrong - my mom makes him look again. What they found after a few hours was... one sock. That`s one sock that was stuck in the dryer vent that would of caught fire and burned our house down if she had not searched or listened to what she saw that night.


Moral of the story: what you saw was probly not just a dream, but a vision. Of course I could be taking this too seriously, but what I told you just now really happened to my family. An what I think you should do is not necessarily believe what you dreamt to be true, but listen to the message it sends (or your brother) and watch for him on your first day of work, cuz he will likely be there for you the whole way.

I believe in dreams sending messages. It sounds like a very nice dream with a very positive message. Thank you for sharing it.
