The Dream

This is a dream I had sometime in the summer of 2009. I didn't take note of the date because at the time I did not realize it's meaning or significance.

In this dream, Michael had come to my house to hang out and relax and be a regular person for the day. I don't remember what we did but I remember being amazed at what a regular person he was. I wanted to be sure that he experienced a normal day with no fanfare.
At one point there were children all around, playing. I started to think that the children might want something to drink. I was in the kitchen and said to Michael, "What would the kids like to drink?" I was looking in the fridge, "We have milk, water, juice...." I looked over at Michael who was standing at the sink with his back to me. He had a big plastic jug and was filling it up with water and mixing it with a frozen can of some kind of juice, stirring it with a big wooden spoon. He gave me a thumbs up with his right hand over his shoulder to tell me he had it under control.
Later on, when it was time for Michael to leave, I wanted to get a picture taken with him. He agreed, but I suddenly realized that he wanted to be a regular person for the day, so I did not get the picture taken. I felt bad that I had acted like he was a star instead of a person.

It was weeks later when I realized that the dream was a message to me. I wanted to do something to make a difference, something to help children but I didn't know what it was they needed. Michael already knew what they needed and he was telling me that he had it under control, and if I followed his lead, he will show me what they need. The house we were in was the house I grew up in, and we had juice made in a plastic jug just the way Michael was making it. I think he was saying that what children need is good old fashioned homes with lots of love and traditions.

When I went to see This Is It, he did a thumbs up to one of his musicians, just the way he did in my dream. I got shivers at that moment and I knew it was a message to tell me that it really was Michael in my dream. (Thumbs up is not a gesture used in my family or my life at all, and I did not know that Michael ever did it either.)

Since then, Michael has indeed shown me the way that I can be of service to the children of the world and I have tried to follow through as best I can, and not hold back. It has been the most rewarding time of my life, and I am forever grateful to him for being there for all of us.

This truly IS "It". This is his message, his fondest dream, his life purpose through us now. What a beautiful dream! Thank you so much for sharing. This is what his speech was about at Oxford, Feb. 14, 2001. My husband gave me a Grandfather Clock that year for Valentine's Day and it has that date engraved on a plaque inside the clock.(so I can't forget) hee hee This is what Michael MOST wanted! There's no doubt it was him! I'm so happy for you to have been given such an amazing dream/gift from him. I'm with you on this path!
Lots of Love and Smiles, ~h~

You two are the sweetest! I have not mentioned this dream to many people, but others have shared such wonderful stories, I wanted to start doing it too, in the hopes that it will help us all to connect even more, and realize how close we really are.

Hello Brenda,

Thank you for sharing your lovely dream with us.

I love hearing other fans describe their encounters with Michael - I don't doubt for a second their veracity because I felt like I had an encounter of my own.

I didn't see or hear him (unfortunately) but what has happened to me is a thought will enter my mind. An idea of how we can make a change, how we should get a message out. The part that makes me convinced it is from him is the absolute certainity that comes with it - that it isn't too hard, the idea isn't too big and that it is possible!

Well, at least I'd like to think so!

Hi Karen, I agree that it is sooo wonderful when you KNOW an idea is right, even (and especially) when it seems a little crazy or impossible to achieve! Thanks so much for your comments. I look forward to getting to know you!
