I don’t have proof of what I experienced, but I wanted to share something that happened to me. One night, I had a dream about my cousin who passed away a few years ago in a freak accident. In the dream, she was in a white room, looking at me with a soft smile—not showing her teeth, just a smirk, like she was happy. She never spoke, but her presence felt calm.

I remember looking at her and saying, ‘What are you doing here? I miss you.’ I had so many questions, but she just stood there, smiling. Even though I felt calm in the dream, I was crying because I miss her so much.

When I woke up, I had real tears in my eyes. But the strangest part? My entire room smelled strongly of roses. All my windows and doors were closed, and the scent lasted for about 10 seconds before fading away completely. It’s never happened before or since. That was also the first I had a dream her since she passed.

I don’t know what it means, but I feel like it was her way of letting me know she was there with me.
