Everyday Life
Can dreams of a deceased relative's rebirth always determine their destination?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
I have received messages about deceased relatives in dreams, but not every death brings the same dream. After my aunt died, I dreamed that her face remained familiar but her body resembled a baby. Asking deities afterward, I strongly believed the dream conveyed that she had been reborn.
In another case, a client died and we held a ceremony. Lord Bao comforted her parents, promising care and protection, but did not promise exemption from every destination or lesson. Only later did I dream of her human rebirth and tell the family. Divine comfort and care cannot all be equated with already determining a deceased person's destination.
I understand different destinations through lessons, blessings, and affinities and deeply trust the meaning of these particular dreams. Yet I do not dream each time or know every relative's later situation. Personal experiences cannot determine others' relatives' destinations. Each circumstance still matters.
A dream of my uncle also stayed with me. In life, a road accident left a depressed area in his head and prolonged bed confinement. In the dream his head recovered, and later he stood and followed another person away. Through faith I felt that after death, releasing attachment may mean some pain need not be carried continually. The guide's identity was unclear. These are my dreams and reflections, not a reason to interpret everyone's dreams identically.
