I once had a dream after a classmate of mine in college died. He had been in a bad car accident. In this dream I was watching a slide show of different people I knew at college, and it shocked me to see his image there in the pictures... He was smiling however, and looked in the image the way he did when I had last seen him. All the backgrounds in the pictures were black, but I could see faces clearly, like a spotlight was lighting them. I told my psychology professor about the dream too, and I think this fellow was telling me not to grieve too long.
