I've lurked here on and off for years, but this is the first time I have a question to ask.
This requires a little back story. When my sister was pregnant with her first son, she had a few dreams about the baby being an ex-boyfriend of hers who had died of a brain aneurysm a couple of years before. She and he had been drawn together repeatedly, but there were issues from his upbringing that prevented the relationship from working. Her son has many of the traits of the ex-boyfriend and has more of a care taking attitude toward her than I've seen in any other child. I believe he found a way to be in her life when it became clear that he couldn't be in her life as an adult.
She is now about four months pregnant with her third son and she had another dream that felt the same as the ones with her first son. In this one, she was talking to a man she had been friends with about 10 years ago who had committed suicide. He asked to come and be part of her family. She was furious and chewed him out about the irresponsibility of his actions. She refused to allow him into their family because she was afraid that he'd leave prematurely again. He was somewhat ashamed and left. She woke up feeling relieved.
My sister has five children (counting this one who's still in utero) and these are the only times she's had this sort of experience. So this isn't something that happens all the time to her.
Now she wonders (and I do), how can this be? She was worried that by refusing him she'd leave her baby with no spirit and she'd miscarry. But she's since had an ultrasound and everything is good. How can someone ask to be born to you once conception has already occurred and so much development has taken place? I assume that if she'd agreed, her friend would now be the spirit inhabiting the baby (that certainly seems to be the case with her older child). So who's there now? Was someone just holding the place until her friend asked? Or was someone there first and willing to give him their place? What are your thoughts on this?
