A few years ago I was sad. I know now that I was depressed and probably needed help. But I didn't' talk about it. I just made a plan. I was tried of being sad all the time... Tired of life. So I worked it out in my head that if I hurt myself at a certain time the next day, that there wouldn't be anyone home to find me in time to save me. I went to sleep with this in my head the thought that I was going to die the next day didn't bother me at all.
When I slept I began to dream. I was sitting on a sofa in the uptairs area of my house with a friend of mine who had passed away when I was in high school. It was strange but comforting at the same time. Eventually she liked at me and smiled sadly. I asked her what was wrong.
"I have to go soon." she said, "So there's something I need to tell you. I know it hurts sometimes. And I know it's hard. But you can't leave yet. You need to stay."
It was then I started to hear kids laughing and playing in the other room. My friend smiled when a little girl came running into the room and hugged her. The little girl looked almost exactly like I had as a child.
"You can't leave yet, Babe. You've got shit to do." my friend laughed.
When I woke up that morning I felt better than I had in months. And I went to my mom and asked her to help me find a therapist.
I guess my secret is that my dead friend saved my life. | |

Aw this made me tear up. I'm so glad her spirit was able to help you in a time of need.
dreams are funny like that.
Im glad she did.. 
that's amazing
Thats amazing. The dead come to us in many ways, a lot of times when we cannot see them, but they appear in our dreams when they want to make sure we know they are around. My grandmother has visited me in my dreams a few times many years ago. It was quite comforting
powerful
