I don't remember everything he communicated to me since it was so long ago but there were some big things that still stand out. First thing I asked him was if I could see his death. He showed me in vivid detail, I could see him in the room where he died, I was above him in the top corner of the room watching his death take place. After the funeral (which was after the dream) I arranged with his father to pick up some of my things that Ryan had had at his father's apartment where he was living and where he had also died. I was very curious to see if the blood stains location matched the spot of death in the dream. Before we (I brought two friends who were close to us for support) I told them about the dream and exactly where the blood stain would be, and sure enough, there it was, exactly where it was in the dream.

He also communicated with me a message in words to remind his mother of an occasion that only him and his mother knew about and also to tell her that he was ok, I called her and told her the next day and she was in shock and in tears and very joyous because only he and her knew.  She also told me about a few dreams that she and her 2 year old daughter had about him.

Then in the dream he told me he had to go and that he loved me. He got up, went to the door, turned around and looked at me lovingly, he told me he loved me and we hugged, then he told me not to follow him. He opened the door and left it open about a foot, I peeked through and saw him walking down a dark hall, at the end of it was a very bright light, he disappeared into it. I wanted to got through the door and follow him but I knew that I couldn't, that it was impossible and that if I did it would have consequences. So I grabbed the knob and pulled the door shut, I walked across the room upset and desired a cigarette and then the cigarette appeared in between my fingers like magic, I then reached into my pocket and there was a lighter, when I was about to light my cigarette I woke up. I looked at my hand and there was no cigarette, it felt so real . . .
