I definitely believe our subconscious is working things out in our dreams… and that we are being guided by our own intuition.
I had a dream after my grandmother had a stroke and this was after they convinced us she was going to have a full recovery. It was my grandfather building a gate and he was telling me he was taking her across. The hills behind the gate looked like Ireland, which is where she was born and there were dogs running all over. She had 5 dogs growing up. My grandfather mentioned a cleat to me in the dream, which we are all athletes and this was confusing to me at the times. She passed 4 days later.
Months later I couldn’t get over this drama and I googled cleat wood gate and found that a French cleat is used for wood gates. Needless to say, I had a moment and was grateful she was back with him.
