In the first dream Emery was using drugs. He was in despair and wanted help but felt all alone.
That dream prompted me to try to find him. I couldn't find him but found his brother Byron and his wife. I sent Byron's wife a message through Facebook. I told her who I was and the dream I had of Emery. She never replied. So I let it go.
Around 2016, I had another dream. This one was just as alarming. In the dream Emery was in a house. There were police sirens out front. The cops busted in. He was trying to hide from them but was arrested.
I did an internet search and found an article from the Pekin police department about his arrest. He was arrested for a sexual assult with a minor. I was shocked!
In the third dream, Emery showed me a memory from his childhood. A partner/ boyfriend of his mother molested him.
His parents were divorced. When I knew him in my youth, he lived with his dad. His mom lived in Jacksonville, Florida. I remember he moved there for a short time during school. The dream gave me insight into his childhood wounds and his mental state.
In 2023, I had another dream about him. This time when I looked him up on the internet, I found his obituary dating back to 2020. I was shocked! The Emery I remembered had so much talent, charisma, and potential.
There are victims amongst us... they could be friends or coworkers or even our partners that harbour dark secrets. They move through life masking their pain. They live with depression, shame, and guilt. It's important to pray for others. It's important to be conscious of others that suffer. It's important not to forget the names of those we love who suffer also from addiction and keep them always in our hearts.
