I'm grateful for the experience I had. I found the inmates there to be very interesting people, human beings, just like you and me. What I found was unfortunate is that the prison staff didn't see it that way. They thought of them as somehow non-human. They would use phrases like they're a different kind of cat. which I thought was sad.

25 years old. So what happened? My great-uncle Harry, who was thousands of miles away in Wisconsin, died. He died, it would have been 9.30 in the morning, his time, 7.30 my time. I was in bed, asleep, when he came to me in a dream. It was the most powerful dream I've ever had in my life. And I awakened from that dream. I was just sobbing tears of joy and singing at the same time. Singing?

Singing. What song were you singing? I was singing from my Jewish religious tradition, one of the most sacred songs. Which one? It's called Avinu Malkenu. It's only sung at what we call the high holy holidays.

I'm trying to remember which one that is. How does it go? Avinu Malkenu. Oh, you woke up singing that. I woke up singing Avinu Malkenu. And crying. And crying. Tears of joy. I was so touched. And I wrote home. I said, how's Uncle Harry? I had a dream about him.

My mother phoned me as soon as she got my letter and said, how did you know Uncle Harry had just died, literally, at the moment of my dream? That's why... It would fit the definition of what is now known as a shared death experience. It's like he took me along with him partway for the ride.
