okay, I hope I am doing the quotes right, I've never done that before. So..


When I was about the same age..6-8..  I woke up absolutely convinced I was going to DIE. I was scared to death and would did all in my power to not go back to sleep because I just knew I would die. I don't remember if I went to sleep or not, I only remember waking my grandma up and crying about it, trying to convince her it was true.  ..I don't even remember what convinced me of it. I just woke up that way not long after I went to sleep.



I don't remember anything changing for me, I seemed to always be able to sense things, from when I was still young enough to crawl.
I have never, while awake, seen anyone who has passed.  ... wait.
When I was really young.. 3 or so, I saw my mother, who had just died. I could never be sure if it was real or a dream, but the way I remember it, I woke up in the morning in my grandparents bed and saw her standing in the corner of the room smiling at me. I felt better and just went back to sleep.
Other than that I only see people in dreams.. but I am convinced they are there. Not just a normal dream.  I've seen my husband, my great aunt... my mom and dad... my dog.  There are a lot of people who were close to me who have died, but these are the only ones I recall seeing, and they are the closest.

I feel different "spirits" though, I wouldn't say they are souls of anyone who has passed, but something else. I can tell when they are present, and a feeling of not having my best interest in mind.. but I can't tell or see anything specific.

Also, my husband used to see a girl who had the form of an aunt of his who died when she was 13. She would wake him up when he was a child, wanting to play, or to talk to him. I wonder how old he was when he realized she wasn't human.
If I remember right, this is the same one who would simply stand in the corner of our bedroom at night and watch. Mainly while we were asleep- he would wake up and see it. I never saw it, but I could feel it. I can't really remember how he described it to me, I guess he could kind of see through it, but it just looked like a person, just floating there.  
Once, he woke up feeling a someone cold (probably this same thing) get into bed with him and put their arm over him.. thinking it was me, because I'm always cold.

He felt it was harmless. I didn't trust it. I asked him to tell it to go away. He did, and the next time he slept on a bus trip he saw it or dreamt it, and it turned into something ugly and evil and tried to strangle him. After that it didn't come back, even when he asked it to.. at least not for a long time.



I can't remember a particular instance of anything like that, I guess it's more of a feeling, to me.

[quote="Psychic Chef] I have a constant diologue of conversations going on in my head like you have a group of people talking but its your voice. is that normal? [/quote]

I have "voices" that are not my own..  that I do hear in my own voice.  I believe God talks to me this way sometimes.  I also sometimes feel I can hear my husband.. sometimes in his own voice, in his own words. I'm sure I've heard other things at times. It sometimes seems difficult to distinguish to me. I know God by a feeling of peace, and "knowing" that it is right.  
Is this what you mean by different voices?-They are speaking to you? Or are they speaking to each other?     I think we basically mean the same thing.



something like that.....  kind of like a little dream.  It kind of seems like watching a movie. It happens a lot when I'm awake and not doing anything to make it happen, but I don't notice as often.



how do you mean?

hi Evangeline
Iwill try to explain better.
I found if i hold my hand 4" /6" above a persons hand i see either a white light or varing shades of darkness depending on what is in their souls and i feel the darkness. ...
Some times i sit out the front of my house and watch the night sky but every now and then i see the areas of complete darkness go past , sometimes in the trees, sometimes it drives by my front wall like a truck would pass but no sound.
Once it lingered an watched me.
I work in a hospital so i see this energy in the rooms of some people who are about to pass over....
My visions are mainly while im awake watching tv or meditating in my arm chair.. and they are quite plainly like watching a short movie..
The voices i hear are usually my guides, sometimes there people who have crossed, other times there people i know in real life.
I see people who have crossed regularly since my dad passed.I have some little kids that some times run around in the passage of my house. other times i see them in the hospital.and i get some that will sit in the car on to the way to work to keep me company.
I had one beautiful lady keep me company for a week while i tried to help find away for her to find release.
I find more peace when they vist, its like seeing old friends.

hmm.  

That's very interesting about holding your hand over someone else's hand. It almost sounds like what some call an aura, but different..? Still, interesting.

so you don't see this darkness over all people (about to pass over) - only some of them..? Is that correct? I haven't heard many people mention that before, but I am sure it happens more than it's mentioned, or more than I've read. I just read a story on about.com about a police officer or security guard who worked at a hospital. He was standing outside the hospital when he saw a darkness of a particular shape, come out of the sky, and float into the 4th floor of the building, where the ICU is located. Not long after he was called to transport a body to the morgue, and noted that the time of death was the exact time of the ..thing he saw. Being that it was unusual he had noted the time it happened.

I don't know for sure that it's the same thing, but I wonder if this darkness that you see passing by outside sometimes is the same sort of "evil" that I only FEEL, I can't see. The thing that makes the air heavy, or thicker..makes me nervous.   I say evil, because what it is comes with a very uncomfortable feeling.

I am still unsure of ...seeing spirits, regardless of what form they take. (although I realize they are there, regardless.) I do not discount that people who have passed may have the ability to appear here, but I also consider the possibility that not all spirits who appear in that form or represent themselves as such are what they say.

So far I have ..that I can recall.. never <i>seen</i> anything, except for my mother that one time in the corner of the bedroom smiling at me. However she looked very everyday- nothing wrong with her, nothing very strange about her, except that she just stood there quietly, smiling. I've actually asked NOT to see anything, although in the recent past have tried to be clear that I am okay with it and can handle it.. although I still feel apprehension, I am afraid it might scare me.. depending on what decides to show.

A couple of months ago, I had a dream in which a girl, who I knew had actually died- she was not "right"...   the way she moved was as though she was injured..or something. something very wrong about the way she moved.  I confirmed to myself that she had in fact died and was not physical when I noticed that she was transparent, and I could see things through her. I was afraid and picked up and carried my younger cousin who was standing with me, also scared, (although she was now 21 and I could not in reality actually run while carrying her)..... and ran into the house. After thinking about the dream, I decided the dead girl looked like a younger version of me, mainly because of her hair- I didn't really notice her clothing or anything.. but it was a very strange "dream". (That may just confirm I couldn't really handle it, huh? lol)

You said you feel peaceful with these visits. Are there any that have made you uncomfortable?

Things that make me uncomfortable..Bad tasting food..anything Madonna trys to sing..just kidding.

Im careful who i shake hands with because i can sometimes pickup what the person is about to go through in the near future.
That bring up the old chestnut of what do you tell a person and should you if you feel that there guides are telling you not to.

I took a long time to come to terms with what i see in the hospital every day.
I would try not to go down to the wards unless i had to.

Now that im older and i have accepted that these things i see and feel are real, there is not much that makes me uncomfortable.
The big thing that is coming next year worries me.i know a few of you feel the same distruption in the universe that i feel.

The darkness i see in the rooms is like someone has dimmed the lights in the room.
