An account

The dream starts with me floating above my house. It is not really my body floating, I just see everything from that perspective. I can see through the ceiling of my house and see all the individual rooms divided by the walls. I see the rest of my family, my mom and dad are in their closet getting dressed with formal black clothes. I also see my sisters and they are in their room also formally dressed. Everyone seems to be sad or depressed but I do not know why, nor do I know what is going on. My dad tells my mom that he is going to get the car ready, after he leaves my mom comes into my sister's room and tells them; "Come on, we have to go. We do not want to be late for your brother's funeral." That is when I realize that I am dead and I am seeing everything as a ghost. I wake up nearly in tears.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
