On March 22, 2005, while on vacation in Seattle, WA with my family, I tried to take a nap in my hotel room after two nights of non-sleep.  I asked my wife to take the children to the hotel pool to allow me two hours of quiet time.  This was about 10:00 a.m.   

As a lay on the bed, I began to meditate.  I first saw images or visions of a military security scene from the 1950's.  Armed security forces were guarding an alien craft.  In a distance, I could see other aliens walking about coming into and leaving our dimension.  Its almost like there other beings living among the human race, but invisible. 

My next vision took me through this tunnel with twists and turns passing through these different colored and textured places with triangular openings.  Finally, I arrived at this void. It's the only way I can explain it.  There I could see the back of a man's head and shoulders.  He was facing this group of lights in front of him. He tried to make out what these lighted objects were.  He approached closer and closer until finally he could see that they were in-fact beings, but not humans.  They were all wearing illuminated suits with their faces covered by this white lined energy field mask.  The shadow figure approached even closer until he could see the leader's face.  It's face was wrinkled had a pale gray color. It resembled a cross between something alien and monkey-like standing between 3' to 4' in height.  It had big black oval eyes.  The man's shadow said to the leader, "I am not ready to go."  The leader replied by telepathy, "Your job is done." And just then, a bright light came out of the man's shadow and went to the lighted being.  At that moment, I woke up.   

All of this happened about 11:20 a.m.  Unknown to me, my father, nearly 900 miles away in Modesto, CA, was having a heart attack.  Paramedics were on the scene (at my parent's home) at 11:15 a.m. and worked on my father.   According to relatives who were present at the scene, he never really regained consciousness, and was baring breathing with a weak heartbeat when he was transported by ambulance.  About an hour later, he passed away at Memorial Hospital in Modesto, CA. 

That evening at about 7:30 p.m. in Seattle, WA, I received a phone call from my sister informing me that dad had passed away earlier in the day of a heart attack.  At first I was shocked. I continued to shop and told my wife what had happened and told her that we needed to end our vacation and go to Modesto, CA.  

About two hours later while driving south on the I-5, I called my sister's house and spoke to her about what was happening.  Also during the conversation, I told her about my dream or vision that had had that same morning. 

As I began to tire, I decided to stop for the night in Portland, OR.  It was about 11:30 p.m. when my family checked into the motel. That night, I slept so peacefully.  It was my first night of sleep in three.  After waking up in the morning of Wednesday, March 23, 2005, I could sense that my father had been in the room. The scent at or around my bed was that of my parent's home in Modesto, CA. 

My sister arrived at my parent's home in Modesto, CA at 1:00 p.m. on March 23rd.  She comforted my mother all afternoon.  My mother told my sister about a dream that our father had shared with her after he woke up the previous day before his heart attack.  It was the same dream or vision that I had described to my sister the night before.  She told my mother and both were astonished. 

I arrived in Modesto eight hours after my sister at about 9:00 p.m. For the next three days, I could feel my father's presence in the home.  

On Sunday, March 27th, my uncle decided to have a BBQ for all of my siblings who came back to Modesto, CA.  After finishing a steak and some a salad, I began to get really tired going into a semi hypnotic state.  All of my siblings and relatives were watching me.  My head begin to spin for about 30 seconds as I sat on the sofa.  Then without warning, a bolt of energy hit me and I woke up feeling better and stronger than I have ever felt in my life.  It was as if someone had given me 200 cups of the strongest coffee ever made.  Everyone was amazed at how alert I had become. 

After the BBQ all of my siblings and immediate family returned to my parent's home.  Everyone went to sleep at or about 10:30 p.m.  The next morning after I awoke, my wife, children, and sister-in-law had told me that I had cried and screamed during the night.  The dream that I had had that night involved me about the age of 30 and a group of boy spirits all around age ten in appearance running around a pond.  These boys were all chasing me and trying to push me into the water.  I began to defend myself and started pushing them into the pond one by one.  As each spirit of a boy went into the pond, he disappeared.  Finally, there was one spirit left.  As he was running around the pond, he slipped on a rock and hit his head.  The boy spirit died and came back to life.  After awaking from his death, the boy spirit touched his head and said I'll be OK, wiping the blood from his forehead.  At that moment, I reached out to the boy spirit and said, "Johnny, I adopt you as my son."  The spirit came to me and I hugged him.  That was the end of my dream.  The strange thing is that Johnny was the name that my dad went by when he was a young boy and man. 

Over the next two weeks, I could feel a presence around me or in me.  My whole outlook on life changed.  I have become much calmer.  Before my father's death, I had this maverick spirit in my where I felt that I had to do everything.  Now, I sense of letting go and trusting in a higher existence.  It's almost like my father has entered into to me to offer me guidance in life.  I find myself doing things like my father did. 

Last night, on April 9, 2005, I had a dream about my father.  He came to me as I sat in a room with all of my siblings and mother and he put his hands on my shoulder and told me to take care of the family and that he loved me.  He also told me that things were going to be all right. 

Since my father's death, I have shed many tears. He was truly a great man.  He was everyone's best friend. He was my best friend.  In a sense, he was my living angel. 

My father's past includes serving in the USAF from 1952-1972 as an Air Police Supervisor.  He was stationed in NM for three years. He was a veteran of Korean and Vietnam Wars.  He also worked for 20 years as a maintenance supervisor for the Washington School District, in Phoenix, AZ.   

I can't explain what has been happening to me as it relates to my ADC experiences, but I know that what has and is happening is real.  It's almost like he's trying to communicate things that meant the most to him.
