Experience description:

On 6/20/16 I had a dream that Saturn was still alive and I had left him at the vet so I all I had to do was go to the humane society and pick him up because that is surely where the vet had taken him. But in the dream I realized he died at the vet's office so I didn't go look for him. I posted this dream on a Degenerative Myelopathy website support group. A woman contacted me saying she had a message from Saturn if I was open to hear it. Saturn said he was disappointed in how my dream ended, that it was my own mind and not him speaking when I realized he had died. He wanted me to find him in another dog. He said he could get to where I was but I had to look. He also said he enjoyed being a male dog and would stand out from the others. He said he had 'no time' which the woman interpreted to mean there was no hurry for him for me to find him.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience?          Experience was definitely real

          Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:   His message made sense to me. There was no reason for the woman giving me the message to make it up. She didn't tell me to adopt a specific dog that sounded like any agenda she had.
