Hi everyone!

Despite the book only covering nine years of spirit dreams, I've never stopped getting them since 1998 and still get them to this day - and of course am writing all of them down for inclusion in a possible second book!

My dreams lately have been of the 'usual suspects' - family members, friends and pets - and especially of one of our cats, Chunkie. He, in particular, has been back several times recently and there's an interesting little anecdote that you might be interested to hear about concerning my son's rottweiller, also in spirit but not very long passed over. So that's why the photo of the two of them. (You wouldn't believe from the picture that at one time Chunkie wouldn't have gone anywhere near Banger for fear of his life!)

Recently my son Ed was using a garden hose when he heard coming from behind him the special rrruff-ruffing sound that Banger always made when he wanted to play with water from a hose. Ed is not fanciful in any way but he said there was no mistaking what he heard. For Banger, playing with water from a hose was just the best fun and he absolutely loved it and would never tire - except from exhaustion from all the jumping around! It was his favourite game therefore it wasn't surprising he came back for more!

So it's not just in dreams that our spirit friends come back to visit us but also in waking life. They're so interested in what we're doing, often dropping by, and the love link between us, whether family member, friend or pet, is never lost.
