Naughty Souls [Archives:2001/06/Focus]

by Mohamed Kadri
In 1983, I was in Jeddah and had decided to fly to Jizan in Saudi Arabia. I remember that while I was sleeping the night before my flight, I dreamt of Jizan. I saw streets, various distinguished buildings and car parks.
To say the least, I did not have the slightest idea of how Jizan looked . I never heard descriptions, never saw pictures, and was never exposed to any sort of literature on Jizan.
When I arrived in Jizan and while leaving its airport, I was haunted by the fact that reflections of the dream were all there, surrounding me. Every feature I was looking at, I had been shown in my dream! Is this some sort of coincidence? Deep and thorough thinking about what had happened led to no result whatsoever for the last seventeen years!
Just a few days ago, I found myself acquainted to Sheikh Omar, a Sudanese spiritual scientist. Telling him of my story, I came to understand that my soul had preceded the flight of my body while sleeping that night!
Continuing our discussion on souls, Sheikh Omar taught me that souls, in all of us, leave our bodies for a few seconds and become universal. Souls , while they are outside of bodies, even meet dead peoples souls, react and have conversations!
How can we understand or rather know that souls really meet dead peoples souls? Sheikh Omar said that it happens to us when we dream of being with some relatives we used to know but had passed away, for instance, and through the dream, they tell us of some news, desires or information about our fate such as when we will die! According to him, such un-conscious behavior is nothing but reflections of the real meetings of souls!
Surprised enough, I received a telephone call last Saturday, informing me of the death of a close friend of mine. He died on the day of his birthday, which my late friend had been specifying to us on many occasions as the appointment for his death according to what his dead father had told him in a dream!
