ok...I have one.

A few years ago I had moved in with a now ex-boyfriend who's father had recently passed away. I had never met his father, since he had passed away shortly before we started dating, and only saw him through some pictures that he had. even though it had been over a year the boyfriend was going through a pretty rough time dealing with his death and some other problems he was having at the time.

I had a strange dream one night shortly after bf moved in that a little angel boy woke me up and asked me to follow him to another room in the house. In this room were several of my deceased relatives, all smiling and looking very happy and peaceful. My boyfriends father was among them, though his face was blurry unlike the rest of them. but somehow I knew it was him. he told me in my dream that he was watching over his son, and asked me if I would take care of him also.

It was one of those dreams that you wake up the next morning feeling all goosebumpy, but it was also not scarey at all, it was more of a comforting feeling. I told my boyfriend about the dream, which upset him to the point that I didn't bring it up again after that for a long time.

About a month later, I was outside about 9 am on a sunday morning messing around in my yard. My bf had been up very late the night before and I was not expecting him to get up for several more hours. The house had a front porch which was closed in with old windows across most of the length. I was standing about 15 feet from the windows, when I saw what I assumed was my bf walk across the porch to the front door. I thought it was odd that he was up so early, but figured he was looking to see where I was, so I scooted down to the door to meet him. I was kinda shocked when he wasn't at the door since it only took me about half a second to get there but I figured maybe he somehow went around the other side of the house without me seeing him. when he wasn't there either it kinda freaked me out a little, so I went in the house assuming he was up milling around in there. but when I got in there he was sound asleep snoring away like there was no tomorrow. I was really pretty freaked out at this point so I woke him up to see if he had been looking for me, at which point he grumpily said no, he was sleeping (and thanx alot for waking him up, dammit!). What really freaked me out at this point was that he was sleeping shirtless, and whoever I saw on the porch not 2 minutes earlier had most definately had a shirt on. I was super confused at this point because I was fairly close to those windows outside, and even though the windows were old and dirty, and I only saw the person for a second or two I KNEW I saw somebody who looked just like my bf. I about cried when it dawned on me that bf's Dad was about the same height (kinda short) and coloring (kinda italian) as him, and then that dream popped into my head.

when my bf woke up again a few hours later I told him the story, at which point he became pretty upset. I think he thought i was making it up and he probably thought I was being cruel to play a joke on him about something like his deceased father, but what upset him the most was the idea that I, a person who had never met his Dad, would have the chance to see him when his own son who wanted to see him the most did not. Why I had the dream and saw him (if that IS what I saw) rather than his son I don't know. Maybe he wanted him to know he was still around but didn't think he could handle seeing what i saw, which would probably be true. I don't think bf could have handled it at that point in time. He didn't want to believe it, and we never talked about it after that, but a few other little creepy things happened after that (all which could have been chalked up to overactive imaginations or other explanations), but who knows.

So I don't know what exactly happened that day. maybe there is some other explanation or maybe I temporarily lost my mind, but I like to believe that I caught his dad checking up on him to make sure he was gonna be ok. Nothing like that ever happened to me before or since. But once again, it wasn't really a scary thing, more of a comfort to know he was still there.
