One day a while back Joan called and said she had been given two dreams where she died. I think she called wondering if God might give me any wisdom on this that would help in some way.
I told her it made me think that God was showing her something that was going to happen and probably fairly soon. (It was hard to say this but I felt it was from God).
She said that is what she thought also.
I don’t remember anything else being said about this during the conversation.
I knew I had read something in the Bible that made me say what I did but I could not remember where in the Bible this was spoken about … having to do with two dreams that tell us the same thing and the fulfillment of those dreams in a short period of time.
After I learned Joan had died, I thought about this and looked it up and found it in Genesis chapter 41.
Pharaoh had two dreams but didn’t know what they meant.
But Joseph was given the interpretation by God and he referred to them as “one dream” as each one told Pharaoh the same thing, as Joan’s two dreams told her.
Joseph also said this about the dreams …
Genesis 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Seeing these things helps by increasing my faith in the power of God and in HIS mercy to HIS servants, as we saw in this situation with Joan.

Joan lived at my house during the last 6 years of her life on this earth.
One day earlier this year Joan told me of the two dreams she had been given showing that she had died. She told me she didn't want to tell me these dreams, not wanting to worry me or cause me concern, but felt she probably needed to tell me.
I laughed and told her that for several weeks when I came downstairs in the morning, one of the first things I did was to look in her room to see if she was breathing. I had not done that before this time. It was as if I "knew" she was going to die before long. So hearing of the dreams Joan had been given was no surprise and didn't worry or bother me.
I believe God had put in my heart what HE had shown Joan in the dreams (that she would die before long), showing us what was coming. Preparing us and comforting us.
Joan died on May 27, 2025.
