When Mark fell down and already lied on the floor I was really shocked and his friend put me in the car because they didn't want me to appear in the press. I tried to call my mother and friends for help. Then there was an incoming call with no number shown. I tried pressing every button but I couldn't get the phone call. When the phone showed the missed call it was "18$$$$$$????". Five hours later I went to stay at the friend's house and was lying down on the bed. I kept calling him. When he was alive he always tucked me in every night so I called him to be with me.  Suddenly I felt the warmth of energy going through my whole body and I said "thank you Mark for being with me" and it was only the left hand that was warmed then it was all gone.

Seven days after he died I dreamt but it was very lucid. I dreamt that he called and asked where I was and how I was. I told him I was at the friend's house and I was not doing well. He asked "when are you coming home?" I said "I can't go home because you are dead". He told me "I'm not dead I just don't have the body." I woke up suddenly trying to remember whether he was really dead. Five minutes later I went back to sleep he called again and said to me on the sixth floor of our apartment which was the placed we ate and exercised together. At night I asked him for a sign whether he was still around and the light bulb exploded.

The next day when I went to school I, for the first time, tried to log in to his email. I put the correct password but couldn't log in a few times. And when I finally logged in but didn't read any messages the computer clashed a few times even though I changed to another machine. Three friends were there and saw it happen too. I moved to a new place and during the time after he died I sensed his presence most of the time. One night I was praying and both my hands turned warm, like the first night he died. They were warm and turned red as if someone was holding them. I felt really happy.

            Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:          I cannot find any other explanations for what happened.
