About six weeks ago my secretary's boyfriend passed away in an automobile accident. Since then I have a had a few dreams relating to death. Below are the one's I remember pretty vividly. In one dream my secretary (Theresa) and I were in the cemetery where her friend (Dave) is buried. As she was placing flowers on his grave I started to walk away so she could be alone when I saw a headstone with her name on it. I mentioned to her how ironic it was that Dave was buried next to someone with the same name as hers. Theresa said that the headstone and grave was hers that she recently bought so that she could be laid to rest next to Dave after she died. In another dream I was in a funeral home and a man came up to me and asked if I was here for Theresa's wake. After I asked him what he meant he explained that she had died the previous night. I walked around and found the room where she was laid out. The casket was open and, just as the man had said, there was my secretary laid out in her favorite short white dress. The man then came into the room and said that I should not be there because the viewing period had not started yet. He closed the casket and asked me to leave. In another dream again I was in a room, I assume a funeral home, where there were about 10 caskets. All the caskets were open except for one. I went up to closed one and wanted to open it to see who, if anybody, was inside. As I was about to open it I woke up. I hope the above will be of use and/or interest to Barlo.org death/dying studies. You can e-mail me if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and concideration. Kevin
