I had a dream that I was with my Great Aunt at a park like facility with newly planted trees and pathways. In this dream I was pushing her wheelchair to try to get her to sit down and she was sort of running from the wheelchair and making hand motions like pushing the chair away, not clear is she really spoke or grunted, like she didn't want to be restricted anymore and wanted to go and sort of pointed toward more elderly folks sort of roaming around everywhere. Then I woke up and I just knew, I called my Mother and without any hesitation I told her that she should check on Auntie Next Door, I think she died or is going to die today. My Mother then immediately called her brother and sister in law who had been caring for her, and before she said anything, they told my Mom that they were on their way to the hospital because Auntie had an episode and is unconscious. When they got to the hospital they had already pronounced her death.

Was this experience difficult to express in words?  Yes

I can't explain the certainty that I had after the dream and what the dream meant. Still to this day I can't explain how I picked up the phone as soon as I woke up and said to my Mother those exact words, to check on Auntie Next Door, I think she died or is going to die today.

Did the voice or sound seem to originate externally or outside of you, inside you, or did you not hear a voice or sound, but had a sense of knowing what was communicated?  I clearly had a dream about my Great Aunt not wanting to be assisted in any way anymore. She wanted to go...When I woke up I had a sense of knowing.

Yes, with my Grandmother I have a few separate experiences that before she died, my sister and I both asked her that if she dies that she will come back as something that we both would know it was her and on separate occasions, we both know my Grandma is an Orange Butterfly.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Uncertain

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            After my Mother confirmed that I was right, it was a little strange, my family were sort of in shock plus they felt like that might happen when they pass away and they said for me not to tell them when.
