Thats interesting, do you have a view on the Tibetan and Egyptian books of death which seem to provide guidance through states of death associated with physical morality and ethics?

No offence taken, I enjoyed your post. Death is a big topic!! If he was actually being visited by some form of entity associated with the bringing of death, then it might have been that his mind simply chose the representation of the Grim Reaper because that was the closest thing he'd understand..... in which case it might have been something else entirely to what I posted.

For some reason this reminds me of the Ankou. In which case so long as he's not angry you should be fine. Of course if you did make him angry you would most certianly know about it by now.

For what it's worth, there is always senior la muerte, the first murderer depicted in the grim reaper appearance. Depends on the modality you believe in, it may or may not be viewed as biblical in origin.

The grim reaper represents the piece of you that has to die so that the rest may live, or it could be one of the above situations that someone has posted. It could also be that you are going to die tomorrow, or maybe even next week.

Maybe it means something big is going to happen.
