A doctor in charge of a hospice center in Buffalo, New York, has said long-lost loved ones frequently appearing in our dreams may predict that death is looming, according to his study of patients in their final days and weeks.
Hospice Buffalo Chief Medical Officer Dr. Christopher Kerr and his team have been documenting the dreams of dying patients for a decade, he told CBS.
'It's life affirming, I can tell you that,' Kerr said, noting that the dreams seem to make passing away less scary for this patients.
'Instead of having this fear of death, it almost transcends the fear of death to something bigger.'

Dr. Christopher Kerr of Buffalo, New York has said long lost loved ones appearing in our dreams may predict when we will die, according to his study of patients in their final days and weeks
Kerr and his team said they have documented the finals weeks of life of 1,400 hospice patients over the last 10 years.
Of those 1,400 people, 80 percent reported dreams or visions leading up to their deaths.
Those vision are typically of loved ones they've been missing who passed away before them, and often involved travel or some kind of packing.
One patient named Paul described a dream about a loved one, saying 'She wanted me to pack up some things for her, so I had this crazy dream, I’m packing goods.'
A woman named Jeannie shared seeing both her immediate and extended family, in vivid detail.

'I remember seeing every piece of their face,' she said. 'I mean, I know that was my mom and dad and uncle and my brother-in-law.'
She later added: 'I felt good. I felt good to see some people.'
Another patient named Maggie said her pre-deceased sister came to her in a dream.
'I said, "Beth, you’ve got to stay with me. I’m alone, stay with me,"' Maggie said.
'She says, "I can’t. Not now." And then she says, "Soon we’ll be back. We’ll be back together."'
One patient, Gregg Liebler, whose sister works at Hospice Buffalo as a nurse, described seeing the people who he said loved him and nurtured him the most.
Kerr said 80 percent of the patients he's talked to, like Gregg Liebler (pictured), report the dreams, which are said to feel especially real and increase in frequency closer to death

'He was really close with my mom’s parents,' his sister said. The two are pictured as children with those grandparents. Less than three weeks after reporting the dreams, Leibler died
'He was really close with my mom’s parents,' his sister, Karen Paciorkowski, said.
'My grandmother and grandfather are both passed,' Liebler said.
When Kerr asked, 'Have you had any dreams of them?' Liebler answered, 'Yes. I see them often.'
'But it feels good?' Kerr asked. Liebler replied, 'It sure does.'
Less than three weeks later, Leibler was also gone.
The dreams are also said to increase in frequency leading up to one's dying day, according to Kerr's study, and feel more and more authentic.
'What's clear is people are universally saying, "This feels more real and different than any dream I've had before,"' Kerr said.
The dreams people are having differ in other ways, too, Kerr said.

And for children, or young people who haven't experienced much loss within their families, the dreams tend to center around pets, he said.
A girl named Jessica said, 'I dream about my old dog Shadow, that has passed away.'

Kerr shared the story of how he was first alerted to the phenomenon when he treating a patient who he thought could live longer if given intravenous fluids, but a nurse informed him otherwise.
'I walked in and the nurse didn’t even look up,' Kerr told the room from the stage at a TEDx Talk in Buffalo.
'And she said, "No, no, he’s dying," and I said, "Why are you saying that?" And she said, "Well, he’s seeing his deceased mother," and I was like [laughing noise] ‘"Yeah, right."'
But as time went on, the doctor found that others were able to accurately predict the end of life while Kerr couldn't, with his focus firmly on prolonging it.
'Everybody but me was able to prognosticate death in part based on what people were seeing or experiencing,' Kerr said.
Finally, after seeing it in front of his eyes time and again, the doctor began his years-long study that turned him into a believer.
Kerr said the happenings can't be explained, as far as he knows, by science, religion or spiritually, but he's not sure he even cares to try.
'When [dying patients] wake up crying because they’ve been so deeply moved by something, that just should be respected,' Kerr said. 'Period.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
