Dreams can have an impact on you.
Have you ever had a dream that impacted you?
I’ve had a couple dreams in my life that have had a impact on me. I’m going to talk in this post about the dream I had about my Dad.
First a little back ground. My Dad passed away on March 17, 2005. March 17 is St Patrick’s Day which is kind of significant because my Dad was Irish. My Dad was also an alcoholic so it is just kinda makes sense that he left us on St Patrick’s Day. To me it just seems a little ironic.
I loved my Dad, he was a great father, and I have many fond memories of him from when I was a small child, before alcoholism changed him. That’s how I choose to remember him. When I was around 15 years old my Dad started pushing me away. I’m not sure if it was because of the alcohol or not. I used to go up to him when he was drinking and hug him and tell him I loved him. He would hug me back for a second then push me away. After a while I told him that I didn’t care if he pushed me away that it wasn’t going to change the fact that I loved him and I was going to keep hugging him.
As time went on he came to expect me to hug him and if he was sad or needed a shoulder to cry on he would come to me. I would always tell him that I loved him and no matter what and that would never change. It got to the point that if I didn’t hug my Dad he would tell me “hey where is my hug?”

Dreams Can Have An Impact On You – My Dream
Here is the dream I had about my Dad about a year and a half after he passed away:
In my dream I was at my parents house. In my dream my Dad was walking up the hallway towards me with a big smile on his face and with his arms opened wide. Then he wrapped his arms around me an hugged me. It was the best hug I have ever gotten from my Dad. I could feel his arms around me. When I woke up I could still feel his arms around me hugging me and I was smiling.
I think dreams are important. I think that God was letting me know that my Dad was OK in this dream. There could be many interpretations of this dream, but because of my belief in God and because when my Dad was in the hospital there was a man in the bed next to him who witnessed to my Dad I believe that my Dad is with Jesus. I had been praying for him for years. For me this dream was a confirmation. I thank God for this dream, it gave me such peace.

That’s such a great story about you and your dad. Yes, I would agree that your dream is confirmation that your dad is doing just fine 🙂 I can tell it’s a made a big impact on you. I’m sure it was extremely tough to see those changes in him over the years and it’s important to pay attention to these types of signs that everything is “ok”.
Thanks for your comment Matt. Yes it really did make an impact on me. I know he is OK!
