(From Aimee) This VIVID dream or experience that continued through a 3 hour period!

I was awoken 5 times through out this period. I kept forcing myself back to sleep begging myself to go back to the scene. This lasted for 3 hrs and the reason I know this is because I kept setting the alarm. I had things to get done, but as I kept dreaming or whatever, I kept resetting alarm so I could go back to sleep. My final alarm went off, minutes before my kids were due home from school. I had to remain awake. So many different flashes, scenes, and switching back and forth. Here are a few scenes I remember vividly: In the hospital elevator, with an Indian Doctor, going up to the floor my mother was on. Through the video camera I see a bunch of medical staff picking my moms body up, her neck hung over with out brace, body all distorted. I screamed, NO! They are holding her all wrong! I remember medical staff thinking my sister had swine flu and she was admitted. I knew she didn’t have it, I was torn, I ran into her room and demanded immediate instant swab. Results were negative. I then ran back to my mother’s room. I then remember my mom on her hospital bed driving down a street. They had her sitting up slumped over, all wrong!! I shouted No, and demanded correct positioning laying flat. My brother and fiancĂ© were in a van following behind. I first run up to speak with my brother regarding some big concerns I had, I then see my mom’s bed rolling down street too fast. I run to catch up. I jump on the bed with her. I then see huge balls coming out of her mouth, bigger then golf balls, smaller then tennis balls; they looked like large gob stoppers. I pulled one out, then another, and another; they kept coming. I then remember her with white sheet covering all of her. All of a sudden I am looking toward the bottom of her bed, a huge bright light, almost like a projector into the air. I see snapshots of pictures and video footage of us growing up; I see many of my mom and me and siblings, my Aunt Paula at one point, and Aunt Lynn and even our old babysitter-Leslie. Toward the end were many pictures of all 5 of her grandkids. All of the snaps of the grandkids were things that had not happened yet, their current age, I shouted out loud and knew this was real and couldn’t believe these pictures because they had not happened yet. Then I remember asking my mom if she knew she was dying. She replied kind of. I then said no, this can’t be real. I tried to save her. Then realized again she is dead. The last part I remember was me lying next to my sister in our old room I believe. I was looking up at the ceiling talking to my mother. The voices seemed hallow and echoed. Berlin came in a few times and I asked her to leave so I could continue this conversation. This seemed so real. It was so loud. I told mom, I had so many things to ask her. We reminisced about old times, hang man, all the writing shared between each other, I remember asking her if she knew she was dying, she replied kind of, again. There was so much more that I can’t remember, but this conversation seemed to be very long. I then knew our time was about to be over, so I rushed and kept repeating pleading for her to somehow come into Jeremy, Krishna, Kiara, Isaiah, Ronin, Berline and Marissa’s dreams. (Each time I meant to say Marissa, I said Merri, and then corrected myself with Marissa.) I kept repeating this, but I was very rushed because our conversation was closing.
I then immediately awoke to real life! I was in panic, I felt tingly, I felt exhausted and I had plenty of sleep. I shouted out, Chess, he said: what, I asked him if he had been awake. He said, no. He just looked at me confused as to what was wrong, or what happened. I needed silence for a few, I couldn’t talk. He went to door to smoke cigarette in same room. He went to speak; I was very startled and still couldn’t talk yet. I have had many vivid dreams in my life. I have occasionally gone back to the same dream. I have even had very vivid dreamlike state of mind when your almost asleep, in the in-between state and had some very indescribable things happen. Screaming but not being heard, seeing the exact area you are in, trying to lift your arm up but nothing happens, hearing the sound of wind pass you by, once while I was asleep next to the mirror on my bed, I saw myself when all this occurred. I have woken up disturbed before. BUT NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER HAVE I WOKEN UP FEELING THIS WAY. FEELING SO DRAINED, WORDS CAN NOT EXPLAIN how drained I FELT!! I told Chess of it, called my sister, crying hysterically as I described the chain of events. I don’t truly know if this was just that a dream, or if this was an experience.

  1. I will never forget when I first arrived at Mountain Vista Hospital while you were in the ER, I made a joke and said, " I know I haven't had my transportation, and haven't been able to get up to see you as often as I wanted so badly, as we both wanted so badly, but you don't have to do this for me to get up to see you". Her reply: " but it's worth it"! My heart will never stop breaking inside!!! I love you mommy!!! I am soooo sorry for all that happened to you over the past 10 yrs, those 3 months prior to your death, those 7 days!!! Some of her last words before she was not able to speak: " What did I ever do to deserve this"?! You never did anything to deserve any of this!!! You are a true HERO AND THE MOST SELFLESS PERSON ANYONE COULD KNOW OF!! It is not fair, not right, none of it is!!! And where is any peace in any of this??!!!
