New Book Looks at the Secret of Life After Death – Winner of the 2010 Mom's Choice Awards

This fascinating new book looks at the secret of life after death and the mystery that happens to 3% of the population.

New York (MMD Newswire) February 22, 2010 -- The passing of a loved one can mark a difficult crossroads. Those of us left behind often feel confused, fearful, sad, and even incomplete. In the midst of this grief, some experience dreams where a loved one appears to us, correctly predicting their own death, urging us to carry a message to a relative or simply offering us healing and the chance to say goodbye.

Special Dream: Personal Accounts After the Death of a Loved One, Second Edition (Crossroad, an imprint of The Crossroad Publishing Company) Inspiring and stimulating stories on the rare dreams people experience after the death of a friend or loved one. The stories interplay between scientific and religious inquiry into "after death communication", featuring Americans from all social, economic and religious backgrounds. A fascinating look at the intersection of our deepest questions about life and the human spirit after death. The author believes President Obama is among 3% of the population who has experienced this extraordinary type of dream.

The author believes Barack Obama had a special dream as recounted in his book, "Dreams From My Father."

Hoffman also points out Native Americans believe that after someone dies, they come back in a dream to a family member to let the family know that they are alright. That means, Hoffman says, "all the stars who have recently died, have come back to someone in the family, but usually the person does not share the dream for fear of sounding crazy".

Special dreams are a very rare and extraordinary occurrence. An unforgettably vivid and powerful experience, the life-altering dream often leaves the bereaved with a sense of serenity and higher understanding. Reassuring read for anyone whose experienced bereavement, Special Dream encourages healing through personal messages from beyond the grave.
