I was just wondering about other's experiences with animal contact. If you've ever purposely contacted your pet, or if they've come to you.

I had a dream, either one or two afternoons before my husband died... I was in a house I didn't recognize, although I apparently lived there. Some of my family members were there, (sisters basically), but at a younger age than they actually were. Random things were going on, they decided to go out and lay in the sun (to which I said, "fine, go fry yourselves!)..? There were parts where I was actually laughing or talking to others in a lighthearted way.  


But the prevalent part of the dream was a very ominous overtone. I was extremely upset, and in the dream, crying. I had seen my husband's and my dog come to me in the beginning of the dream. I could see he was having internal bleeding in the abdomen area. He looked as real as a real dog, only the abdomen area being as though I could see the blood soaking through him. I was upset because I demanded that he needed to go to the vet and wanted help getting him there because i had no car, but no one, even my grandmother, made a move to help or seemed to be concerned. This is where the random lighthearted stuff cuts in, and then I resign myself to sleeping overnight since I couldn't get any help, and doing my best to get him to the vet in the morning.  

In the midst of the dream I realized that (In physical life) our dog had already died, and I said in a sad and exasperated tone, "Wait! I already TOOK him to the vet!"  ....    I knew we had him put down. At whatever point I woke up, I woke up in tears, and so disturbed, but couldn't figure out why, so I chalked it up to missing our dog.

My husband and I were having some problems in the previous weeks, and he was currently in another state.. We weren't talking really, so I couldn't call him for comfort.  I really wanted to call him. Instead I called my mother in law and told her about it. The next day and night I had an overwhelming urge to call him but didn't feel like it would go well right then, so I didn't. I kept starting, and hanging up. The next afternoon, he died when a car pulled out into traffic, and he attempted to avoid colliding with it but lost control of his motorcycle and ended up beneath the car.

In many dreams I've definitely felt that some of the "characters" were more than just figments of my imagination. I have seen a few dark energies.  I wonder if our dog came to me in my dream, to warn me? Only I didn't get the message. I thought the problem was with our dog and only realized near the end of the dream that we had already been through this.  

I have noticed that for some mediums, the person who has passed over will appear in the state they were in when they died.  

Our dog had cancer. I insisted they operate ( because they insisted on just putting him down) and they found it wasn't nearly as bad as they thought. He was very weak some days afterwards, hardly able to walk for being so weak. Some days he looked dead.  I started feeding him flaxseed oil with cottage cheese every day to up his blood cell count, which helped tremendously. Then we found out that he was bleeding internally. The blood was being filtered out in his urine, and what I fed him was reproducing it quickly enough to keep him from dying. But in the end, the vet somehow could find no way to stop the internal bleeding and he was in so much discomfort that my husband felt it was best to put him to sleep. So this is the state in which he died.

The realness I felt, and the emotional distress that was affecting me or conveyed to me, convinces me it was him.  I have never known a dog that I had a better connection with than him. He always seemed to understand me and he always comforted me when I was sad or upset or afraid. My husband loved that dog more than anything, and he loved us with his life. I don't dream of him often, in fact I think that is one of two or three times since he was put down 3 years ago now.  I just lost our other dog due to seizures the end of july, and I have only seen him in my dreams once that I remember. I just wanted to share that and hear other's experiences.

Has anyone else consciously or unconsciously had contact with a pet that went ahead of you?

You dog is beautiful.i send you love and light.i know what it is to lose a dog close to our heart.i am still recovering from my loss.
that's great he comes in your dreams.i had dreams about mine.i always saw her chained in the dreams.i don't know what it means.perhaps i am having difficulty to let her go.it's been 4 years now.

Thank you dhav. What happened with your dog? I am sorry to hear you lost a loved one too.    I am still recovering myself.... I miss both the dogs very much...  You just walk in and expect them to be there. Or when I am out somewhere I think "I need to go home and feed him" but then remember.  Even though one of them was in 2004, I still miss both of them, and remember exactly how it felt to pet them and hold them and to have them curl up under the covers with me at night.   To add my husband to that makes it that much more difficult. But I think they are all in a better place and hopefully looking down on us, and excited for the day we'll see them again.
I know I can't wait to be back in their arms (and paws!)....

<3

i was not there when she dies.i was out of the country and still out.i dread the day i will going back because i haven't really face the absence.many time i imagine her coming to me and i give her lots of hugs and pat. ;-0

Oh, Evangeline, what a beautiful dog! I was really moved reading your story, I just do not know what to say... It must have been terrible, all of it.

Just wanted you to know that I have also lost two dogs so far, and I dream of them all the time (once a month at least, I would say), specially the last one, whom we had to sacrifice about two years ago due to a mouth cancer at the age of 10. I still think of him a lot and even sing him the silly songs I used to make up for him. And I really miss him when I need a good cuddle, so I go around to my aunt's and cuddle hers, who is also 10, by the way, and not feeling too well at the moment.

This is a pic of mine, the one I have as my comp desk. I am sure he must be looking for yours, he loved to play so much!
