My dad saw his own ghost

My dad saw his own ghost

ANDIf you've read any of my previous stories, you'd know that I think there's a ghost in my dad's house. One night, while he was sleeping, he had a dream in which a huge weight was lying on top of him. He couldn't move because he was too hefty. When he finally gained enough strength to push the weight away, someone fell to the floor. He got up to check if the person was okay. As soon as my dad got up, the person sat down at the foot of the bed. My dad touched him on the shoulder and said, “Hey, man, are you okay?” but when he looked at the man sitting on the bed, he realized it was him! He jumped back in panic and woke up a few moments later. He called me immediately and told me this. I asked him if he thought he had died when it happened and he replied, “yes…” We both agreed that it could have either been a near-death experience or just a strange dream. The next night he dreamed exactly the same thing. Then he had this dream over and over again every night for about a week. One night he fell asleep on the living room couch instead of in his bedroom. He did NOT have this dream while he was sleeping in the living room. The next night he slept in his bedroom again and the dream repeated itself. He became afraid of sleeping in his room, so every night he slept on the couch in the living room. After a few months, the feeling seemed to just go away and now he can sleep in his own bed again. If anyone has any idea what this might even mean, I'd appreciate your comments! Thanks.
