visit to deceased loved one 
The meadow is for Jozef Rulof a sphere in the hereafter where the human being of the earth can see his deceased loved ones again during a nocturnal out-of-body experience. 
The meadow is a place of convalescence where the human being of the earth can temporarily rest and gain strength by seeing his deceased loved ones again. 
As a result, he gains strength and resilience to be able to cope further with his life on earth.
