Many years ago, I worked with a wonderful guy named John who, unfortunately, was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often called Lou Gehrig’s disease.

ALS is a motor neuron disease that rapidly affects the nervous system, causing loss of neuro-musculature control.

As time passed, he did succumb from the disease. His wife set up an amazing life celebration in his memory.

Several years after John passed, both he and his wife showed up in my dream. I was not lucid in the dream, he was the leader, as he took me back to his house for an unforgettable second celebration that his wife Jacie had set up.

I think of John at all holidays. He left this life too soon, but I know I’ll meet him again one day.

I shared the dream with Jacie, and now with you.

Here is the All Holidays dream:

John and I were walking outside his condo complex. We were in the parking area, which was surrounded by several block walls of varying height.

Suddenly, John began jumping on all the walls like some sort of super hero. He encouraged me to do the same, which was not too easy for me. I think he was trying to tell me that no matter what happens, things will be okay.

When we got to the highest wall, we were able to leap onto his condo balcony. This was really one heck of a shortcut to his house.

Through the sliding glass door, the house was a kaleidoscope of colorful light. I could see fuzzy hues of red, green, blue, and yellow.

As we entered, the interior of the living room had been segmented into many small cubicles. Each cubicle had been decorated to represent a different world holiday.

Every imaginable holiday was represented. John, Jacie and I went into each cubicle and experienced the observed celebration, as if we had actually gone to the host country.

It was simply amazing! I did not understand how Jacie could pull this off and why. She told me that John did not have long to live, and she wanted him to experience all the joy the world had to offer. She was able to do all of this for him out of love.

I really believe that it was John’s way of telling us to love life everyday – the very best you can.

Remember to say “Hello” to your loved ones this Holiday Season – where ever they are!
