Tonite at the gym, I saw the Larry King show on CNN. I don't know if you know Tracy Nelson.....she's the daughter of Rick Nelson, a singer from the 1950s who got killed in a plane crash. She and her bros were on the show.....I am not sure why. But at one point, she said that she had had cancer. And the way she found out she had it was from her father AFTER he had been killed in the accident. For a year, she had dreams where he would come and tell her to go to a doctor. For whatever reason, she ignored his messages. Finally, one time he came and said "Damn it, why are you not going to the doctor?". Apparently, that freaked her out and she finally saw a doctor who diagnosed her with cancer.
As a seemingly devout Christian, what would be your take be on what she experienced; that is, what happened to her in her dreams? For an example, would you believe it was really her father who made contact with her, or did she arrange to have her psyche provide the message about her cancer in the form of her father?
BTW these aren't trick questions......I am just curious how religious people view these experiences. Certainly, this is not the first time I have heard of this kind of thing. Apparently, some people have dreams about the dead on a fairly regular basis and its not unusual for the dead to provide info to the dreamer that they wouldn't know otherwise.
