My neighbor near my house in Kerala, India had been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and he was following medication n needed to drain the excess fluid formation almost every alternate day or so, it was a painful condition, and during this time I was in Mumbai, India working. I had learnt of his condition from my parents, who stay near to his place. After a month of his condition becoming a worse, one very early morning I had a dream of him getting out of a black Cadillac, he got out of the rear door, he was wearing black, he waved me a good bye, I could see a kind of sad smile on his face, it was not a happy face, most interesting fact is the place where the car was parked was in between his house and mine, and there is a fence around his house, and this was at my side of the fence, his body was cremated at this spot at his side of the fence, and I could not see anything else other than him, this car, and a tall coconut tree under which the car was, there really is this tree at this spot, other wise everything else was dark black in the dream. After this incident I called home and talked to my mom and related this experience and she said he expired a day before. the funny thing is he was elder to me we never much talked, only I was kind of friends with his sons.

Please offer any suggestions you may have to improve this questionnaire.    I would like to make friends with people who have genuine experiences so that I could relate my thoughts and get to know theirs.

 however I have visited many a web sites with people claiming experiences and most times I intuitively feel how much they are lies and exaggerations and many times it is more of some day dreaming which actually are imaginations which become strong with time and take a shape in your mind ( just like there was a very famous case of a girl who led to the imprisonment of her own father for raping her in her childhood, which after a lot of investigation and considering many solid proofs was concluded that, human mind has this ability of adding any data to your own memories almost like editing your memory unconsciously, and after many years the father was left free.( I don't know how much of it I was able to express, I am very bad with narrating things).
