OF THE
TIMES
Another article offers a fuller version of this story:I was laying in bed and people were walking very slowly by me. The right-hand side I didn't know, but they were all very friendly and they touched my arm and my hand as they went by. But the other side were people that I knew โ my mom and dad were there, my uncle. Everybody I knew that was dead was there. The only thing was, my husband wasn't there, nor was my dog, and I knew that I would be seeing them. โ Jeanne Faber, 75, months before her death from ovarian cancer.
"It was a good dream," she told the researcher ... "I know that was my mom and dad and uncle and my brother-in-law." Seeing her mother in that and other recent dreams was "wonderful," she said.
"I can't say that my mother and I got along all those years," Jeanne said, tearing up in a video recording. "But we made up for it at the end."
Comment: It's a nuanced subject. In a sense, some form of self-practice that serves to better oneself and be aware of our own flaws and thinking errors is beneficial for anyone who undertakes it. It encourages one to take responsibility for their own stuff. On the other hand, placing the responsibility for social ills on the individual is dangerously deceptive and no amount of 'mindfulness' is going to correct problems which fundamentally have a social cause.
