Experience description:

For my first experience this is the most foggy and I believe the reason so was due to the fact that Masie (family cat) had been passed away the longest when the experience occurred but the feeling felt real despite the fact I didn't have my dog sleeping in the bed whilst I slept so it felt like she was there with me and it wasn’t some illusion from having my dog on my lap. The second experience with Domino (my cat) was more vivid. It started off as a normal very odd dream taking place on a farm, but there was a complete change to the dream suddenly. It was much more vivid suddenly. I was laying down in the dream when Domino came to lay down with me. I felt the feeling that he missed me and I felt it as well when he laid on my lap. I felt like we had a good few minutes together before I woke up and started crying. I had a closer relationship with him hence why the stronger reaction and vividness I believe.

My most recent experience was of my granddad. It took place once again in my dreams. It was the day after me, my dad (granddad's son) and grandma (granddad's widow) had visited a pub with a unique chandelier that was made from bottles. We all had a bonding experience at the pub. The dream experience for my granddad was different as the dream was entirely the experience instead of being mixed with another dream. We were at a pub I could tell that and it seemed to mostly resemble the pub that me, dad and grandma visited. We were sat at the table me, dad and grandma were at in during our visit to the pub. We were all sat differently with the table being smaller and all of us were sat on each side of the now square table with granddad being across from me. He didn't say anything but was definitely looking at me but I still got a message from him. It was weird how I felt his message. What I got was that he was now focusing and watching over me due to the fact that I was experiencing the most change in my life. It was comforting.
