Question
In my dream, I saw my husband telling my brother about my death he had tears rolling down his face. the dream happened after fasting Yom Kippur... I lied down and took a nap. Is this dream a sign if so is there a way to reverse it. I have been doing Teshuvah for the past three years since a NDE. But why would Hashem have saved my life if I am to die?
Answer
We all will die eventually, but your Near-Death-Event was clearly a โ€œwake-up callโ€. In fact, any occurrence in life, for example a bad dream, which catalyzes self-awareness and helps you organize your ideals and beliefs, and gets you to be a better, more thinking, caring and idealistic person, can and should be used for your benefit (especially in improving: repentance, prayer and charity). Nevertheless, dreams are not prophecy and one should be careful not to confuse the two! Donโ€™t take dreams too seriously, but as an indication what thoughts or fears pre-occupy your conscience and sub-conscience, and as above, as a catalyst to improve, but not to frighten. If after resolve to improve (especially: repentance, prayer and charity) the dream continues to bother you, you can ask your local orthodox rabbi to perform a short ceremony called "hatavat chalom", which usually helps.
