Dream Log 2015.09.18.0900

by Ilyan Kei Lavanway

Overview

Aside from actually dying, do you have to have a near death experience (NDE) to visit the spirit world? Perhaps the better question is, if you have visited the spirit world, can you say you have had a near death experience. Or is there such thing as a micro death event while sleeping? I have never had a near death experience, as far as I know. But, something happened to me while asleep one morning. This short written work recounts a recent personal experience. Some might pass it off as merely a dream. I am convinced it was more than just a dream. This experience caused me to find information on a deceased relative whom I had never known or heard of in all my life. Furthermore, the experience showed me that I am supposed to locate and contact two living relatives whom I have never known or heard of. I publish this account to bear witness of the reality of the afterlife and the urgency of family history and vicarious work, and to illustrate the seamless integration of the work of salvation among the living and the dead, and the hastening of the work as a whole. Families can be together forever, and there is only one way for that to happen.

About the Author

Ilyan Kei Lavanway is a proliferate yet undiscovered and unheralded Christian author. He served as a full-time missionary for two years in Argentina for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1986-1988. Since 2005, he has written and published over two dozen books of various lengths, ranging from a few pages to almost five-hundred pages. His education includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from the University of Washington, Seattle, and a Master of Science degree in Space Studies from the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks.

Mr. Lavanway is married and has an autistic son who has Down's syndrome. Mr. Lavanway grew up in Wenatchee and Waterville, Washington State. He is the oldest of nine siblings, seven of whom are living. He spent his high school summers driving wheat trucks and combines during harvest, earning cash to support his first love, the love of flight. He was an avid private pilot in his teens.

Ironically, for all his love of aviation, Mr. Lavanway's fourteen years in the United States Air Force never landed him a flight crew assignment. Nope. He was kicking it subterranean school in a capsule beneath the North Dakota plains as an ICBM launch officer for his first four years of service, followed by a year of really uninteresting work in a vault, on base. His next two years took him up near the Canadian border, to the giant, phased array space surveillance and early warning radar site outside Cavalier, North Dakota.

Then, he was off to California. Academic assignments filled the final seven years of his military service. By the time he was medically retired from active duty, he had discovered his passion for writing.

Since life has thrown him a few curves that make it impractical for him to return to flying airplanes any time soon, he has poured his heart into the written word.

Mr. Lavanway feels he has a God-given gift and responsibility to express eternal principles that will point sincere readers to the scriptures, to the living apostles, to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and ultimately to a personal relationship with God the Father, and with God's Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Ghost.
