Mariposa -
Yes, I have both read about these expereinces and had them. :) I am left with a feeling of peace, and generally sme information that I needed to know. I do feel that those who have crossed over cme into our dreams to bring us information because this is hte easiest way for them to do so (as our conscious mind is not there to act as a barrier).
If I don't understand everything from a dream, I simply ask for another dream for clarification. This always works for me. :)
Blessings,
Bonnie
