1.  I asked Peter (the deceased) to reveal himself to me and to give my aging mother a message that everything will be o.k. when she passes away.  I then asked Peter if he was enjoying it on the "other side" and if he was doing any fishing (a favorite hobby of his).  He didn't get to go fishing nearly enough times during his last days on earth.   

A few days passed by and I got a telephone call from my mother who lives 2000 miles away.  She told me she had a dream and in her dream she was out at a lovely lake with Peter doing some fishing and he was "showing her the good places to go fish."   

I never told my mother about my request for an answer from Peter (my beloved) before this happened and did not tell her about my request after she told me about her dream.  It has been 3 years since Peter crossed over to the other side. 

2.  About a week later, I had another dream.  I was with Peter and we were taking a long walk together.  Walking is something he could not do in his last days on earth.  In the dream, it seemed that our communication was by way of telepathy rather than verbal conversation.  I am glad he came to visit with me.
