A friend came to me in my dreams to tell me he was dead. And he was. At least a decade prior (his death was a surprise) he told me that if he died first, and it was possible to get a message through, he would.

Damn, must have felt intense

[–] charles@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

No... Uhh, are you ok?

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No because I don't believe people who are dead can communicate with the living.

I don't know why, but I first just thought this as finding some old note the person had written whilst alive.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 4 points 7 months ago

Ok, that makes more sense to me. In that case my answer is still "no." Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

A late friend joined our IRC channel a few years ago. It was quite upsetting at first, before realising it was a member of his family starting up his computer.

RIP elf.
