Week 5, Faqir Chand

I have sometimes wondered if our lives are just a dream when we passon to the other world. I question if everything that we are livingis a dream or is it possible to predict our death? I found itinteresting to read that Faqir Chand also began to question theauthenticity of his inner visions like I have questioned mine.Before my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago she wasdetermined to come and see my mother, sister and me before she wasgoing to pass. She suddenly became extremely sick and insisted thatshe wanted to return back home to die in her house, because sheaccomplished to see us before she passed away. My mother and decidedto return her back home after two days of being here in Californiawith us. The weirdest thing was, when the airplane landed on thesoil that she had raised her family in, she collapsed and died in theairplane. We received the heartbreaking news that my grandmother hadpassed away in the airplane and yet we still wonder if she was justtrying to say goodbye to us because she sensed that she was going toleave us. I find it interesting to read that Faqir Chand said " WhenI come back, it will be a black box"; reason I say this is because mygrandmother before she took board on the airplane, she told mymother ," I will take care of you no matter where I am at." Can thisreally be possible? My question is can we actually sense when ourtime will come or is it just an illusion of our conscious that isprovoked? Can our lives here on earth only be a dream?
