Sometime ago I had this dream about my dad. He died last year in august.
In the dream I saw my dad in a luxurious hospital room. There was a joyous nurse that cared for him there. I stood outside on a balcony, and it was like a cave, surrounded with black stone, but not afraid of it. Besides me was the broad stem of a tree and it reached up very high. I couldn't see the end of it.
My dad didn't want to believe in God. Even when he got so sick last year he didn't want to hear me about Jesus. But he was a man who earnestly cared for the good. He made many little sacrifices in his life, and showed great responsibility. When my mother and me turned christian some years ago he was annoyed at first but then he supported us, drove us to church and all that, never forbade us the christian life. My dad kept a lot to himself and he didn't have it easy. He felt like God would only look at us but never do something to help us. Dad also held the evil and the suffering in the world against God, and may have been very bitter about it sometimes.
My sister also had a dream about my dad. She dreamt she saw him sitting with my mom in the living room. My dad, who was very conservative about clothing and hairstyle normally, wore his hair differently in the dream, like fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld and a bit like Mozart, with a tail. He very kindly said to my sister, "It is often better to hope than to despair". It felt like an inspiration to my sister.
