What is the message?

There have been times when I have “heard” my name being called.  It’s not hearing through the ears though.  It’s “hearing” on some other level.  Often it occurs when I am lightly asleep and on the verge of falling into deep sleep.

This morning at about 4:15 am I was deep asleep.  And then I was instantly wide awake.  I “heard” my name – “Rob!” – called once, stridently and urgently.  And then, even as the “b” sound was yet fading, my name was said again.  This second time, though, it was spoken by Ann.  Even though she was fast asleep.  And then I felt something like fingers walking their way down the comforter at the foot of the bed.

I opened my eyes and checked the time.  Then I looked down the length of the bed at the far wall.  Some hanging clothes cast a shadow on the wall.  But within that shadow there was something that had the appearance of an apparition.  An apparition in white.  It looked three dimensional and solid, yet floated and shifted in the dim light.

Granted, I am very myopic and I did not have my eye glasses on, so it was difficult to see anything clearly.  While I “sensed” a presence I was not sure of the appartion’s intent.  When it looked to be slowly moving towards me I felt the need for a second opinion.

I woke Ann up.  She asked me groggily, “What’s the matter?”  I briefly explained the circumstances of my own waking and asked her if she could see anything across the room.  All she could see was the shadow cast by the hanging clothes.

I switched on the bedside lamp and, of course, there was nothing there to be seen.  I switched the light back off.  I got up and rearranged the hanging clothes and eliminated the dark shadows.

We talked for a bit about what had just happened, and then we struggled to get back to sleep.

And I was left wondering what was the reason for this visit?  What is the message?
