Ron was a regular member of our senior citizen’s coffee club. He carried around a portable oxygen machine for his respiratory ailment. He had become increasingly weak and recently could only make it as far as the lobby of the senior citizen’s center.

On March 8, Ron died. Three days later, I dream I am in my backyard, raking bare patches of ground to prepare for new grass seed. I see what appears to be a mound of earth, but it is actually clothing. I then observe a hand in a sleeve. I think this is a dead person and will have to call the police. My rake turns into a hoe, which I use to poke the body. The body is a live young man who wakes up. I believe he is a homeless man who had fallen asleep in my backyard. I tell him he must leave. I wake up.

Later, it occurs to me that I had visited the afterlife where Ron was born again as a young man in my yard.

You yourself admitted it was just a dream. People can dream about the deceased.
 
I find people I encounter in my dreams are acting independently and are not characters of my own creation. I conclude they are beings in the spiritual realm. When you go to heaven, you don't sit on your butt all day. You become an "actor" in people's dreams. This physical world has Hollywood. The spiritual realm has "Holywood."

How do you explain it when you dream about people that are living?

People on the "other side" can put on any face they want just as an actor in this world can portray someone they are not.

So it's someone on the other side playing the person you're dreaming about? Why would they do that?

To convey a message in the dream that is metaphorically linked to that person. For example, in one dream Donald Trump appeared and said, "Robert, I want you to become a communist." To me, that suggested I would not gain much from trying to profit from my creative works. I should freely share them with other people. I should follow his advice because, regardless of his other traits, he knows how to get things done.

But why wouldn't they just come back as themselves?
