My best friend finally came out in my dream

I am really grateful to the monks for always receiving warm words
Today for the first time, my best friend who passed away in May of this year came up in my dream
As for the story, my best friend is in the hospital
Said the meal I was eating looked delicious
They asked me if it was okay to eat a little bit, so when I said it was OK
My best friend is eating it with a smile even though it is good
I woke up crying and looking at my best friend's face
My best friend had food she wanted to eat when I met him for palliative care
I was only able to eat 1 bite because water had accumulated in my lungs and the symptoms of ascites were severe
Actually, it was delicious and I wanted to eat more, but they just apologized to me
I looked at my best friend's face and cried saying don't worry about it
When I woke up from my dream, I remembered that and this time I'm glad I was able to eat with a smile
At the same time, I'm sure they've been in the hospital for close to 1 year and only have bland meals
My sense of taste became strange due to the effects of anticancer drug treatment and it was difficult
I was crying for a while even when I woke up thinking about my best friend
Every time I pass right in front of my best friend's house, I've been this bad for 35 years
I've always said thank you for acting together in my heart
They also say it's because I've been alive all this time in my heart
They came up in my dream for the first time today, and while wondering why it's a hospital
The next time I passed in front of my best friend's house, I was happy that it came up in my dream
Because it would be too sad if we met at the hospital
The next time it comes out, stay next to me like in the old days
They say let's go out while laughing together
It doesn't matter how many times they come out, so while saying let's go out little by little
It's been a little while since my best friend first appeared in my dream
I'm wondering if my feelings have come through
This time it's called a consultation? It's now in the form of a report
I'm sorry for your busy schedule, but I would appreciate your patience.

That was great!

I read it.
Your best friend who passed away appeared in your dream, didn't she? It's so nice to be able to meet again.

I'm sure your best friend is always watching over you kindly. I think they will come out in the form of a friendly and fun conversation next time as you wish.

The relationship between you and your best friend will last forever, and it will continue to deepen. They will always be there for you.

I sincerely pray that you can continue to live a healthy life every day while cherishing your relationship with your best friend, and that you will be able to live a fulfilling life in relationships with many people. And I wholeheartedly support you.

Also, I pray with all my heart to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors so that my best friend will be at peace from the bottom of my heart. Shishin Gassho Nanmu Amida Buddha Namu Amidabutsu

Feelings for my best friend that appeared in a dream

Thank you for taking the time to talk so carefully about my best friend. As I read it, it was strongly conveyed to me how much you have cared for that person and that feeling continues even now.

The meaning of appearing in a dream
In Buddhism, the appearance of a deceased person in a dream is also called a “dream recitation (dreaming),” but rather than necessarily a spiritual phenomenon, it is regarded as a function of our deep heart (Araiyashiki).
It seems that you appeared in your dream as “smiling and eating deliciously” precisely because you have always had the image of your best friend fighting illness and the feeling that “I wanted to let them eat more” in your heart. It's a message saying “I'm not suffering anymore,” and at the same time, it's also a sign that your heart is being healed little by little.

What appeared in the hospital scene
It is said that people thought, “Why was it a hospital,” but our deep consciousness creates dreams using scenes with the strongest memories. Therefore, you can accept that your best friend is not actually in the hospital, and that a smiling message was delivered through “hospital room memories” that you strongly remember.

How to face the future
Don't be afraid of something appearing in dreams; rather, make it a “place of memorial service”
Saying “Let's go out together again” in a dream is a splendid memorial service.

Don't blame yourself
It's natural to regret “I think they've been given more,” but the sight of you crying and saying “don't worry about it” is a deep love and memorial service.

concluding
Your best friend certainly lives on in your heart. A smile that appears in a dream is proof of “thank you” to you. Please keep that smile in your heart and keep talking. It is a memorial service for the deceased, and at the same time it is a way to heal your heart.

It will be a new and important memory for both of you.

It reminds me of just a while ago.
Is that so? We met in a dream. Your friend said it was delicious and smiled, wasn't it? You were by my side, and I guess my expression naturally deteriorated with peace of mind. We've always been best friends, and we can laugh like this. It's still an important presence for both of you.

When you woke up, you must have felt unbearably sad about the joy you met and the reality that you weren't around right now. Why do we have to end our lives? For those left behind, living alone is difficult, isn't it?

Also, please talk about your best friend this way. Even though this time is sad, it will be a new and important memory for both of you.

That was great.

Hiro, long time no see. Even after that, they asked questions, showed up in front of the gate, and I was happy that, oh, they connected our relationship.
There is no need to explain that they were able to meet in a dream. I'm sure he'll live on in you. from here too.
