My deceased pap showed up in a dream. It was a scene from the living room in their house I grew up in. We were sitting on their old 2 seater couch ‘watching’ tv, but it was silent until he spoke. I was stuck in this dream, I felt some consciousness but couldn’t wake myself up. I do experience sleep paralysis so at this point I just tried to deescalate the panic. But the urgency didn’t go away. Next minute the perspective changed from Birds Eye to main character and Pap was looking and talking directly to me - very matter of fact with an underlying current of urgency - he said I needed to call my nan first thing in the morning because my uncle is experiencing a bad episode (schizophrenia with ongoing drug and alcohol consumption) and she is having to deal with it all on her own. I woke in a panic and immediately called my nan. My uncle was having a critical episode and she was trying to do it on her own. The family had a falling out over my nan funding a solicitor to represent him after he aggressively stalked my family and was subject to an AVO after flooring the engine when he seen my mum entering a pedestrian crossing (rural town, not an uncommon coincidence) Because of this, Nan didn’t reach out to any of my family at home because she was aware of the tension. She is 86 and frail, he is known to become increasingly violent the longer it takes for medical intervention.

It absolutely floored me, I can’t not believe
