An amazing experience! If I were you I'd be dying to ask questions about it. Who was the shorter figure? What was the book your Mum was holding? What was she trying to let you know? I wonder if meditation, or imagery, or other form of spiritual contact could reveal some of your answers even at this late date. You might look into it, maybe ask on this forum if someone with more experience than I have knows of a possible means to explore this. Best wishes, Blue Tiger
