Since I started keeping a log of my dreams in November 2020, the number of times my dreams have referred to deceased people seems to have greatly outnumbered the number of times my dreams have referred to living people other than myself and my two daughters and wife. Since that date there have been about 430 times that I dreamed about deceased people. Besides 76 dreams about my late mother and 79 dreams about my late father, I have had over 200 dreams about a vast variety of deceased people. Five of the dreams were about the late opera singer and actor Mario Lanza.
This morning when I woke up I logged into my computer, and brought up a fresh instance of the Chrome web browser. I had not yet logged in to my Google account. Very oddly, before I did anything, the fresh new instance of the Chrome browser had a tab set to a Youtube.com URL I had not previously accessed. It was for a clip I had never seen before, showing two of my favorite movie stars from the 1950's: the late Kathryn Grayson and the late Mario Lanza. The clip was below:

Why was a Youtube.com URL showing in my just-evoked browser when I had not done anything to go to Youtube.com? In my experience the Chrome browser never behaves this way. My default URL on Chrome is www.google.com, and that is the only web site I ever see when bringing up a new Chrome browser (except for this day's event, which I could not replicate). You can configure Chrome to bring up multiple web sites on startup, but I absolutely had not configured Chrome to act in such a way (as a check of my Settings showed). My "On Startup" settings were as shown below:
I haven't searched for a long time on youtube.com for clips featuring either Mario Lanza or Kathryn Grayson, which makes this event all the more mysterious. I almost get the impression here of some kind of "shout out" from the Great Beyond. It's interesting that the song sung in the clip refers to death, dreams, eternal love, and "a rapture that's all divine."
Searching for insight on the possibility of Chrome opening with two tabs, I find a page telling me to set my Settings as above (which have always been my settings), to disable all extensions (I had no extensions installed), and to install an anti-virus software (I already had Norton Antivirus installed and active). I am left with no explanation as to how this morning's event occurred.
