July 29th 2009 I had a dream that my Grandfather who was previously deceased about 2 years brought my Grandmother to me (who at the time was alive, and living with me). He didn't say anything, and just stayed in the background, and she told me that she had only 10 months to live. I was scared, and shocked by this, because she was not sick at the time (or so we thought). I shared my dream with my mother, and boyfriend, and also recorded it in a dream journal I have been keeping since the time of my Grandfathers death. I did not share the dream with my Grandmother, I did not want to upset her. In February of 2009, my Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, and was given a few months to live. She passed May 24th 2009, 10 months 3 weeks and 4 days after my dream.  

This brings me to experience #2, which happened this morning. My mother came to me and said, "Did you put Grandma's salt shaker in the microwave?" I had no idea what she was talking about. The salt shaker that she always used to use, which we thought was lost, appeared without reason inside the closed microwave. It was last used the day before, and the salt shaker was no where to be found. The door was shut, and no salt was spilled. I personally suspect this was her way of telling us she was still with us. 

I plan to tell you a little later more details on my Grandfather, including the dreams which inspired my dream journal.

Did the deceased give you information you did not previously know?  Though she was alive and well sleeping downstairs, she told me in my dream that she was going to die in 10 months. She passed 10 months 3 weeks and 4 days from that dream.
