DREAM THE NIGHT BEFORE
A month later I went to bed very troubled. My band manager's son, who had cerebral palsy, was to undergo a very serious experimental brain operation. An electrode was going to be placed on the cerebellum oblongata part of the brain, which would be stimulated by a control attached to a wire which would protrude to a controller, and the young boy would be able to increase or decrease the amount of power with a dial. This child looked up to me as a song-writer performer that he wanted to be like (go figure!). I was desperately afraid of losing him, the night before his operation.
Having lost my father when I was eight years old, I "knew" that death was the final separation. I didn't want to lose, let's call him Robby, in this eternal way. Thus, came my distress that evening. Then the dream unfolded.
​
It was an evening scenario in the dream; I was going to the New York hospital to visit Robby. Once there, I entered an elevator, and it started rising. There were others in the elevator, but my eyes focused on a smaller woman that was in the opposite corner of the cubicle towards the back.
There are two types of dreams that have to be distinguished: lucid and non-lucid. In the latter we react and move about in a trance like manner and our semi-responsive state. However, in a lucid dream we have more awareness, and our consciousness reacts to anomalies as we would in the "waking state". This dream suddenly became very lucid
​
The woman in the elevator no longer was just a woman. it was my Aunt Marie! Stunned, I raised my hand shaking with fright and pointed at her. "You can't be here!" I cried. "You're DEAD!"
​
She gently smiled and leaned back into the corner of the elevator. The smile was not threatening, but it sent chills down my spine. I awoke screaming! Trembling and breathing very hard, I thought, "O my God! That was too real." This was the night before my experience.
