When my dad was critically ill in 2011, during the 7th lunar month, he had a few nights of related dreams. He would hear the sound of chanting in the background in his dream. He met a boy (looked about 7-8 years old) who called him 'grandpa'. On the first and second night, my dad told him that they belong to two different worlds and not to call him that and even brought him to chant in his dream.The boy could actually chant!
On the third night, my dad dreamt of the boy again and this time, the boy brought along a few friends and asked my dad to buy a few things for him. He claimed that he was hungry and was dressed in rags. He asked for toys, biscuits, soft drinks, fruits, clothes and shoes. He wanted my dad to offer these things in prayers to him. My dad even brought him to a 法会 and asked helped them fend off some 'bigger spirits' in his dream so that they could have the food offered there.
谢谢分享。我相信你所说的。人要是坚决不信，谜底就无法解开。
(一) 不排除是流产的小孩 - 令尊梦见小孩，正好是女儿在7-8年前流产的经历。
(二) 回光反照 - 人要往生之前，往往有异常幻想或反常的行为举止。
(三) 梦不一定是凶兆 - 何况是梦见小男孩。

The next day, my parents went and bought the stuff and did the prayers, burned the clothes,shoes etc. The boy never appeared again. My dad passed away about two months later.
你的情况容易打发。香烛、元宝、冥纸立即搞定。复杂起来真的很复杂。
冤魂可以是前几世追到今世。追讨的不是香烛、元宝、金银纸、纸扎的Mercedes Benz\iPhone 5\Samsung S4那么简单。没公德，索命抵债。
多数很凶，实在惹不起。好管闲事者，会挨揍欠扁。大大小小的庙都进得去，通行无阻。众神明档不住，也得靠边站。听起来很好笑，不过事实确实如此。欠无形冤债者，若没遇高人指点，十之八九会翘辫子。
令尊元寿已尽，时间到了就走。梦中奇遇小童，想必与令尊有段缘。家人/亲属关系，是与上辈子有关。比如，阿公阿嫲特别疼孙子是有看不到的原因。爸妈不喜欢女婿，也是前世带来的。
最重要的是，事情已经搞定，建议不必再去想了。母亲节要到了，倒不如花时间陪妈妈出去逛逛走走。

2) I do 超度for him since I miscarried that year faithfully every year and 回向to him regularly whenever I accumulate merits. Why is he still around?
Are you referring to your dad or the boy? 有两种可能，一.是依依不舍，因亲人牵肠挂肚。二.公德未足够应到。
自然流产是天意，蓄意流产/人工流产（abortion）是人为造成。自然流产不是妇女想要的，但是归咎无意疏忽导致。即使是自然流产，仍然有必要忏悔。不妨去你常接近的佛寺，向佛菩萨磕头忏悔。述说整个故事，不要隐瞒实话说（何时流产、何时超度）。再来就是恳求佛菩萨赦罪容宽，原因是自己如有过失交由上天决定，往开一面。同时要求诸佛菩萨做主，曾经做过的财施、法施、无畏施、印经、超度、放生回向给谁（想清楚别说错了），并且还会继续布施回向，愿他超脱得安。诚心恳求，诚心磕头。
若家里没有发生状况，多半没事。除非，家里常有异常事情发生（比如：孩子常生病、家人常有意外、夫妇常吵架、连夜恶梦、家人无故发疯等等）。或者，有其他匪夷所思的状况（如：电器机莫名其妙自动开/关、厨房突然着火、突然跳电、晚上客厅有脚步声等等）。

3) My mother did a 水陆法会 in 2012 in China for all the ancestors including <u>him</u>. How would I know if he is still around?
相信你指的就是孩子。其实，你是不再需要挂念着他到底怎么样。把心中的石头放下，慢慢淡化掉。
尤其是相处已久的亲人，更加不可以去想他/她，因为这对往生者百益而无害。不然，家人一直哀嚎哭诉，想念往生者，这将会令魂魄更加要回来寻找亲人，简直是百害无益了。水、陆、法会办得妥当，就该把过去丢到脑后。除非，在你梦中频频出现，或者，更有奇怪又解释不出的事发生。
我非常鼓励人不间断地继续修身/行善积德！阻碍和不如意的事会迎刃而解。遇上不好的事，出乎预料逼得开躲得过。跟上天打赌作好事，胜算率高，有利息赚，超划得来，只是回报似乎慢了些罢。真的有好报吗？100%肯定有。
I have "entertained" lots of hitch-hikers in United States。载过乞丐、疯子、流浪汉，遇过不少奇怪的人。偏僻荒野，或者，鸟不生蛋的地方有人要拦车，我也敢载。只有不顺路就不载。Here was the problem.
My car broke down along county road in the end-fall season. 真的是好死不死，车子偏偏在晚上死火抛锚。
叫天天不应，叫地地不灵。Pitch darkness and no cellphone signal coverage. I walked miserably for nearly two miles before finding a gas station. Freaking cold with frost bite on ears and mucus dripping. 冷到我“buay-tahan”.
Out of the blue, an ang-moh drove a GMC pick-up truck into gas station, and surprsingly offered me to tow my car to his home garage off ten miles from gas station! At that moment, I was thinking "
uu yar boh?" 我真的是求之不得。我没开口问，就主动要帮我拖车。上了他车之后，才说远处看到车子停在路旁，猜测我一定是要求救。更好的事，拖进他车库里，还免费帮我修车！真的是谢谢他都来不及。I never expect someone is kind enough to lend a hand.
至于那些为非作歹/作奸犯科，下场肯定很惨，是时辰未到罢了。当福报消尽债台高筑之时，必将大祸连连。罪恶满贯者，终究要面临家庭四分五裂、妻离子散、一败涂地、生活潦倒、欠债累累、百病缠身、精神崩溃、牢狱之灾、事事不如意等等。
《善不积，不足以成名，惡不积，不足以灭身。》 - 出自易經，孔子係辤。解释：品行不好的人认为，一般的好事对自己来说没有多大益处而不去做，一般的坏事对自己来说没有多大损害而不去改正。所以坏事多了而无法回避责任，罪恶大了也无法得到宽恕。
