Experience description:

i was sleeping, and dreamed i was in a very old Italian villa or castle, which i had lived in. i was having a welcoming party, and had a lot of friends invited.  I was making my rounds greeting everyone i saw my aunt standing there, she looked very healthy and happy. I saw her, and was so surprised, i said, "you're dead, how can you be here?"  She said she knew she was dead, but still around.  We hugged, and i felt very happy. i introduced my husband and child to her.

After talking, i asked her how it felt to cross over when she died, if it hurt, if she was scared, she said that her illness gave her a lot of pain, but when she died, it didn't hurt, and she felt good.  i asked her if there where other souls around, and she said yes, but that i can't see them.  She then turned around and pointed all over the room , calling out different names of people that have died and where present. i asked her if she was only in that house, but she said she was able to travel anywhere anytime she wanted to. i was so surprised about all this, i asked her if i could take a picture of her and my son, so that i have proof that i saw her.  she said ok, but then explained that i cant take it from the front angle, i have to take it from a side angle, to be able to have me see it later, she said it won't be clear, but if done right i would see a shimmer on the photo. after that done she left and i woke up.
