The Mystery Dream - Aaliyah

Gail Nobles 6.25,’26

Often I say that dreams sometimes don’t mean anything. But when I dream about Aaliyah, I feel every dream is real. When she first died, knowing nothing about her the way I do now, I dreamed she was hurting, and I was hurting that she had passed. She spoke as if life let her down. I heard anger and tears. If she was hurting before she passed away, that I do not know. I’m sure she had some hurt. Who doesn’t hurt in life sometimes.

The very first time she spiritually came to me was no dream. She told me that I was her kin. When she first died, she came to me in visions and dreams regularly. It’s strange because she did not know me as far as I know. 

I don’t dream about Aaliyah now that much or see her in visions. Last year I dreamed about her in 2025. I dreamed she was in my grandmother’s old house. She was playing with two dogs. She kept her back turned as if she didn’t want me to see her. As she was playing with the dogs, one stayed close to her, and the other one left her and ran to the left. In the dream, she is present, but with her back turned as if she was hiding or distant from me. And I’m wondering why she appeared in my dream to my grandmother’s house. I haven’t been in that house since my childhood. My grandmother has passed and gone. I guess about the year of 1978. 

Then I saw an old man sitting in a chair with glasses on smiling at me. The dream took me away from Aaliyah for me to see him. I thought to myself: Who is he? I thought maybe it was a good sign for him to smile at me. I have never seen the man before in my life.

What does the Dream mean? I’m not quite sure unless Aaliyah is trying to send me a message about my family. I think about the dog that ran out of the house and how the other one stayed by her. Maybe she lost a dog in real life. In real life, she appeared to like dogs. I detect a loss.

I think about the old man in the dream. He was a stranger to me with an unfamiliar face. And I think about Aaliyah being distant in the dream. 

Maybe it’s all just a dream. Aaliyah was mystery-like in real life. She is a mystery in my dreams.

Aaliyah Sang on Stage With Shirley Caesar

I am remembering the Christmas in Washington special! In December 1997, Aaliyah and gospel legend Shirley Caesar both performed at the televised holiday event held at the National Building Museum, singing in front of President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton.

At the grand finale of the show, Aaliyah, Shirley Caesar, and all the other guest artists took the stage together to perform "O Come, All Ye Faithful".

Some writers and media news people only remember the scandal and abuse stories about Aaliyah. But Aaliyah was more than that to me. Aaliyah was special, and I’m sure the people she began to sing on stage with knew.

Today, Pastor Shirley Caesar is singing and having conversation with children in her gospel song “We Love Our Children”(also titled "Pastor Shirley Caesar Talks to the Youth (We Love Our Children)"). It is a powerful spoken-word gospel song focusing on guiding the younger generation through societal pressures, crime, and spiritual struggles.

“America my heart is greed. I think about how our country has taken a turn for the worst. Crimes, drugs, ……”

 

 Shirley Caesar’s career began in 1951, when she signed to Federal Records at the age of 12. Throughout her seven decade career, Caesar has often been referred to as the "First Lady of Gospel Music" and "The Queen of Gospel Music"

Aaliyah’s Try Again is a favorite song of mine. It is her performance on TRL 2000. Whenever she performed it, she looked as if she was having a ball. She looked pretty happy during the time of the song. It is the lead single for the soundtrack to her debut film, Romeo Must Die.

Sometimes I can’t say much. Aaliyah’s performance and talent speaks for itself. 

Lyrics: I don't wanna be Be without you, be without you I don't wanna live Live without you, live without you I don't wanna go Go without you,”

We don’t wanna be without her either. 

There May Be An Untrue Story about R Kelly

 A MAN SAID HE STOLE R KELLY’S TAPE FOR BARRY HANKERSON

There may be an untrue story about R Kelly. A man claims he stole R Kelly’s bag for Aaliyah’s Uncle Barry Hankerson. I stopped to listen on YouTube. Sometimes you can tell when people are lying. Whenever the man spoke, there were too many pauses, and it sounded as if he was thinking about how to make up the story, and fill in some gaps. It got to the point that I didn’t know what the man was even talking about. 

There was a stolen tape, but the man that stole it was not the person that stole it. Plus it had nothing to do with Barry Hankerson. The man that was telling his story did too much pausing and thinking.

 I don’t think Barry Hankerson was involved with R Kelly much in the 2000’s. The story always starts with Barry Hankerson introducing Aaliyah to R Kelly. When R Kelly was arrested in 2019, it was written in an article that R Kelly was afraid to tell Barry Hankerson that he had gotten Aaliyah pregnant. That was in the 90s.

Kelly knew Hankerson would propbably react with fury if he discovered he had been sleeping with his 15-year-old niece. If R Kelly was scared, maybe Barry Hankerson did care about Aaliyah.🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ At least R Kelly thought so.

Gladys Knight and Husband Planning to Renovate NC School

 Aaliyah’s Auntie, Gladys Knight & husband Billy McDowell visited Canton, NC planning to Renovate NC School is old news. I find it interesting because it’s NC. I didn’t think Gladys Knight knew anything about NC singing about Midnight Train to Georgia lol.
