snoh... i think you' ve missed the point that there are many people who are able to pick up on a telepathic level both in dreaming and in waking vision, events, emotions, and problems that are affecting others, particularly those closest to us. I don't think it helpful to hold the dreamers and visionaries responsible for that which they percieve, as if by their perception they are creating the event. However i do think that that love, prayer and positive visualization surrounding the person concerned will move towards the healing of such.

Death in dreams as in waking life is often very frightening, so much so that we are often frozen by that fear, and get tied in knots.

Niki.... I have a very strong intuition about that in this instance there may (and this is suggested only as one possibility ) have been the loss of a child, either through misscariage or termination. This would explain the great sadness that is emanating from your sister. In your Aunts vision the death has already occured, it is not imanent. The body is hidden lightly covered in the woods - a green place often representing fertility. I have known many, many women who have kept hidden this kind of loss for many, many years - even from those closest to them.... and carried the pain and grief alone. I do think your sister needs your help, your understanding and your love as - IF this is indeed the case, and i haven' t a lot to go on, not knowing the content of your own dreams around this - the healing process is long, and the grief can remain a lifetime. It is all the harder to bear alone with all the complex feelings of guilt and failure that frequently go with this kind of loss, and many women are simply not able to share it and have a huge fear of the death being exposed. Therefore tread very carefully, and gently, with love......

I very recently had two dreams on two consecutive days which resonate with this. In the first I was with someone (identity unspecified in dream) who was carrying a suitcase in which were the dead bones of a woman, the main gist of the dream was that we had to carry this suicase around but nobody must know whats in it. The second dream also involved a dead body, this time of a man, who was hidden in the cellar. People came to the house, and there were feelings of panic that the body in the cellar would be discovered, and it was very hard to keep it hidden. In this dream too, the dead body was connected to the person i was with in the dream (again identity unknown),rather than myself, but i was uncomfortably ' in the know '.
I thought these dreams very strange, who the hell were these dead bodies, and if they were dead, why were we hiding them? Somethings not quite right here...
Yesterday i spent time with a cousin i don't often see and she confided in me that she had recently started counseling around an issue that had recently resurfaced for her i.e. the loss of two children some years before during a very turbulent period in her life. One loss through termination and the other through misscarriage. Events that she had kept hidden from many people, for a long time with great difficulty - but naturally carried around with her
all the time, the overwhelming emotions pervading into all areas of her life. Dream explained!
