"Recently I had a death in the family ... very unexpected and very, very sad," he began.

"I always cherish the times I can meet with a loved one in the dream state. And actually, oddly enough, I had a dream days, or a few days before she died, my sister.

"And I was hugging her, which was really beautiful. And I guess it was sort of a goodbye."

"She wasn't talking much in the end. She didn't really want to talk on the phone ... and she didn't live close by, she's in Los Angeles."

He added that he's since had another dream about her after her death, where she was in a new house and happy and furnishing it.

"She said, 'You can you can sleep here anytime, Michael. You can come over and stay anytime,'" he said.

"The other world that she's now in, its beautiful."
