Joe Jackson: 'Michael visits me in my dreams'

Michael Jackson's father has marked the fifth anniversary of the King of Pop's death by revealing his son visits him in his dreams.

Joe Jackson posted a tribute to the Thriller hitmaker on his website on Wednesday (25Jun14), revealing Michael is always on his mind - even when he's asleep.

His touching note reads, "Michael, not a day goes by when I don't think of you. I miss you. Everywhere I go, your music follows me. I hear it in the stores, in the car, on TV. You are everywhere. You were a great son and I will always miss you."

And then Joe revealed that his son is alive in his dreams, adding, "Time and again in my sleep, my son visits me. When I was laying in bed sleeping, I dreamt he was in the same room with me, standing there and smiling. He started singing, his voice was echoing in my dreams and woke me up. I realized I was awake in a dream.

"He continued singing and his voice echoed out the door. In my dream, I woke up and walked to the door following the voice as it faded away. I woke up and realized I had been dreaming."
