Experience description:  

My daughter dreamed she and I were cooking in the kitchen and she saw her father. When she asked about him, I said "ask him". Right then she ate a wooden spoon and that's when she knew she was dreaming (lucid). She asked him how he was, he said "Great, I'm healthy and I still get to be here!" Then he told her, "Tell your mom to take out the important pictures and put them in the back of the box." She emailed me. I had been making a grief box containing mementos as part of my homework in a grief group I was attending. It had been very difficult and I had been crying very hard. I wanted to put a small photo album in the box but it didn't fit. After I got the message I was so happy! I know he is here! I had been feeling his presence but wondered if it was just my imagination.
