MajorJeffery: First of all, I would like you to calm down. It is not a bad situation or case. Here's what I know about such things: 1. Seeing a dead person in your dreams frequently or at any time does not mean that you are going to die. That only applies if you knew that you were about to die or you died in your dream. So, once again, I say to you, calm down. 2. Sometimes, God might use your dead friend to illustrate things to you, correct you guide you. So, for instance, if you are not friendly to people, you might see him in your dream being rude to people and you might rebuke him and correct him. It is you that God is correcting because you're the one that had the dream. He, God, used your friend as a prop, an illustration of your character, to correct you by speaking through you. 3. He is dead, so it is certainly not him that you see in your dreams. It is either the Holy Spirit or Jesus Christ appearing in your dead friend's image in our dreams to relate to you. If your late friend's English or native name reflects any of the name of Jesus Christ or God, such as Oluwaseun, Oluwafemi, Emmanuel, Chukwuebuka, Uchechukwu, etc., and he doesn't lead you to sin, or lead you to do evil, or hurt or harm you, or do evil to you, then it is either of them you have been interacting with all these years. Can you state his name for confirmation? 4. It is either that, or, an evil person is using his face to appear to you for diabolical purposes in your life since they know that you two were very close during his lifetime. In this case, he would be doing any of the following: leading you to sin, steal from you, fight you, stop you from getting things done in your dreams, stop you from achieving your (good) goals, etc. 5. For the case you stated about you proposing to his girlfriend on his behalf, that is just you, proposing to your future wife, if you are not married already, which might be likely. He is rep'ing Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit there, and He laughed sheepishly because you didn't understand what you did. His laughter also showed God's love for you. God showed you that He has given you a wife, so if that is one of your prayer requests, kindly upgrade it to, Father, I thank you for giving me a wife. Please bring it to manifestation in my life physically as you have revealed according to Jeremiah 1:12 and Isaiah 14:24. 6. Pray your marriage out. And He will perfect it according to His will and His own time. You have to be patient with Him and faithful to God if you want the good wife He has given you. It has happened spiritually what is left is the physical manifestation. 7. Pray that you will not miss her even if you don't know who she is now. You will know later. 8. If you are already married, then the dream is not good. Pray and cancel the proposal if she accepted it, with: Isaiah 7:7, Numbers 23:23 and Psalm 33:10. 9. Fear not, tight bond or no tight bond, God is just speaking to you. Sometimes when we go back to our former sin or sins or we are briefly drawn to it, God shows us that state by putting a dead person in our dream. God is saying to you that your old self or old man which you were dead to and are supposed to die to after you got born again is trying to come back/creep back into your life. 10. For spirit of death or death, you might see flies or bees flying around you, or a known or unknown dead body, or an unknown person was killed, or, you dream that you were killed or you died or you saw a deep pit or a hole. Dreaming about dying or being killed in the dream means that that death happened to the person that night, that time, that day, in most cases. It is not just a dream but God telling the person that had the dream that he or she had just been killed in the spiritual realm at that time. For those who are close to God, He might show them their death in the spiritual realm in the hands of their enemies a day or some days in advance for them to pray and cancel it so that on the day that they are to be killed by their enemies, their enemies will fail. 2 Likes |

I think it is because you really miss him. The best thing to do is to see a therapist or a psychologist . PLEASE SEE A THERAPIST |

sharpwriter: Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you. The answer to your question is from within. I gave a simple exercise - write down your dreams every night when you wake up. Before you sleep, pray to your Creator to understand the things of the spirit. Be honest and consistent. Your answer shall surely come. Don’t do a Nigerian on this one - I mean shortcut or quick fix. You will have to work and earn it and even at that you will still continue to work your spiritual exercises. Gradually, you shall begin to see the light. |

OP, Have a discussion with him. Let him know that though you appreciate his friendship while alive, you will appreciate if he rests in peace because you do not think he is at peace. Also for your sanity he needs to move on. Ask him what he wants from you and what his last wishes are. Then say goodbye to him. Your subconscious mind is probably calling him forth because he was probably one of the only people you truly cared for and trusted in good and bad times. So when you need help, your mind goes to a place where you can find answers and safety. Sadly it’s with him, so he appears and tries to help you resolve your issues as well as issues of those he left behind. But you have to let him go. |

sharpwriter:Finding spirituality is a personal endeavor. Everyone should discover their own truths and create their own philosophy, based on their experiences and knowledge, not merely following the philosophies of Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, etc. as religionists do. You can develop YOUR OWN spirituality by first researching about religions. Think critically about the teachings of holy books (the Bible, Qur'an, etc.). Read the histories of religion and understand the part religion plays/played in politics, colonialism, and slavery. Reading the threads of Nlers, like musicwriter, OtemSapien, and some Nl atheists may help in this regard. It takes time to do these things, but doing the research is quite worthwhile. It's always good to approach things with an open mind, shun dogmatism, and understand the fact that religion is mainly about CONTROL, politics. Nothing more, nothing less. If your background is in the sciences, you will make progress faster about your spirituality. If you're science-savvy, you also need to study philosophy (visit websites that discuss philosophical concepts like www.one-mind-one-energy.com and the likes). Reading articles and books on logic and philosophy is also beneficial for people without any background in science. These things take time and no single field has all the complete knowledge, whether it's science, religion, philosophy, atheism, etc. Some just have more complete and beneficial info than others. Seeking knowledge is a lifelong process and is key to one's development and progress in life. 3 Likes |

uuzba: That is the Holy Spirit or Jesus Christ. He doesn't talk to you when you do bad things because it offends Him (God) so He is not happy with you. But I bet He becomes very friendly and kind and talks to you and plays with you sometimes AFTER you have confessed your sins and asked for God's mercy and forgiveness, right? |

sharpwriter: Not taking your spiritual exercise serious and hoping things fall in place for you - that’s wishful thinking - what I call the Nigeria way of doing things. It will not work. Have an open mind. I think someone else mentioned some other stuff you can do. Research, read, study. However, before you commence, like in my case. Pray to your Creator to show you the truth and lead you to light. Be emotional with this prayer. Truth will come. My brother please note that Truth may not come at once. It will come piecemeal, maybe through a friend willingly to share information with you, through a book even the Bible. But start with that prayer and write your dreams down. Then be open and stay alert. You shall surely be free from the shackles of falsehood and fraudulent pastors. Many are called, few are chosen. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. 1 Like |

sharpwriter: I was a Christian and still keep to some good Christian morals. I still pray through Christ. The idea is the earnesty in the prayer and not the medium. There is no Hell. There are Heavens and not just one Heaven. There is no land of the dead. Death is a continuum of life, a necessity to living. I don’t believe in the existence of demons. Are they extraterrestrial beings - YES. Like I previously said, no extraterrestrial being would come to you, if you don’t invite them either via rituals or strong desires. Extraterrestrial beings do not bring harm. They come with messages. However, you have to be spiritual prepared. The reason why subconscious use familiar faces is because you are familiar with those individuals and you won’t get scared. In the astral plane, it’s often advise to move without fear because what you think would manifest. If you think of demons, like the image you know them to be, you would see these monsters chasing you. However, they are your creation, you created them. Another example is being chased in the dream, FYI - dream state is also Astral plane. Also one important thing - in the Heavens - LOVE is the only existence. Feeding and growing in the Love of the Creator. That feeling wey dey sweet belly, multiple am by 1million Times, that’s how you feel. Sweet sensation. Finally, it’s good to know God or the Creator. It’s a beautiful experience. It is your TRUTH. No man or smooth speaking individual a.k.a pastor would ever deceive you or replace such experience. There are enormous benefits knowing God and pursuing spirituality |

MajorJeffery: In as much as he died a painful death, and may not have found rest, it is time to move on. Go on a little fasting and prayer, say from 8 - 10. Then declare that you've cut all links with him that the dead and the living have nothing in common. Also pray for his soul to find please, and God should fight his battles. |
