Who can actually do it? (see the future/past)

[MrsFabuloso]

Hollo I think it would just be that the person needs to have passed away. If they are coming to you in a dream in spirit, then they just need to be gone, kwim? You don't need to know they are gone.

[AnyDream]

Hollo - are you asking how to tell when it's just a dream because you are thinking about them vs when it is really someone visiting you? I think the difference is the quality of the dream - sometimes it just seems clearer and realer and easier to remember. I've had my departed Nanna visit me, and also a friend who I knew to be close to death but I didn't know for a couple of days after when she passed...turned out it was the night of my "dream". If it was just about me thinking about them then you'd think you would have several dreams over the period of time you're thinking of them, not one clear one with that feeling of reality attached to it, kwim?

[2CheekyMonkeys]

yeah i guess that is what i was asking marydean. the dream i had was really clear, comforting and 'different'. i did have other dreams about her around this time but this particular one was different. the fact that it happened after i found out made me think that maybe it was just because of me thinking about her knowing she had already died. i guess i can never know for sure. but i feel as though it was special.

Hi Everyone,

I have just found this thread. I find it all very interesting. I do not have any special abilities but I have had a few dreams that have come true kind of like the deja vu thing. I'm glad they all don't let me tell you I have some vivid dreams!

The reason I had a look in here is I have a feeling that my pop is hanging around. Well I hope it's my pop but I'd like to know. Since I have been pregnant I have really noticed smells in my bedroom, my husband can't smell them. I've smelt cologne that wasn't his and I smell matches all the time, I think my pop used matches when he smoked. It nice to think that it is my pop looking over me. Can anyone out there with abilities see if it really is him?

Thanks, I'm in awe of you all

hi ladies, wow i must say i love this thread!

i can see ghosts. we have a young guy in our house at the moment. i havent seen him for awhile, but about 6 months after we moved in, i saw him a few times. i can also smell too. i often smell cigarette smoke in our bedroom usually in the early hours of the morning. its weird as neither i nor DH smokes at all.

i am a nurse too and i work in a hospital. i used to work on one particular ward which used to be the old maternity ward. it shut down when the new womens health opened, and was later converted into a medical overflow ward. anyway we would often see just a pair of feet walking around lol. i was pretty scared and confused the first time i saw them. there was also a little girl who loved the double room at the end of the ward. we would only go up there in groups if a bell went off which often, if there wasnt a patient in one of the beds up there, it did. plus i have seen curtains move (no airconditioner on) at times. i have also seen an old man too. others have seen him either holding the little girls hand or carrying her around. she would often visit dying patients. we had a couple of complaints of patients seeing their cup slide to the end of their tables then fly off them! once at about 5 am there was 3 of us sitting around doing paperwork when we heard a newborn baby cough. u know how they have a distinct cooughing sound? it scared the %$@# out of us!! lol. now its a palliative care ward and the girls down there now hate nights.

i often get de ja vu too. can be pretty unnerving at times. i have been told i have a gift and that i need to atune to it. i would love to know how tho. DH doesnt believe in any of this stuff.

[teresa]

also, when DH and i were dating and he lived in a particular place and when i stayed over, things always happened. i woke up one morning to feel the edge of the bed move three times like someone was either lying down on it or sitting down. i saw a dog at the end of the bed too who jumped up and i had a feeling of crushing on my chest. always saw a shadow ghost too in his room.

in the house we lived in when i was a teenager, i often saw shadow ghosts in my room there too. my mum often told me that she saw several shadow ghosts. she is very intuitive to that sort of thing too. always has been. i think i get it from her.

Cassius: just want to put your mind at ease: if you saw death around me at the last meetup maybe it was because my FIL passed away last week. He was a good man and i was fortunate to be able to say goodbye to him in his last hours so his death has touched me quite closely. He was in his 80's and ready to pass. for the passing of your Oma.

[Calluna]

Just remembered, when I was living with an ex a while back I was woken up in the middle of the night by a VERY angry person half whispering, half shouting "get out of my house!".
I thought it must have just been a dream so went to go back to sleep and she (I think it was?) said it again much more aggressively. Scared the heck outta me.

[Ilithyia]

WOW! This is a very interesting thread.

I'm not sure if I have the "gift" or not. I've definately had quite a few experiences in my life that are scared the living day lights out of me.

My scariest by far was when I was 17. We had just moved into a rental property where not long before we moved in a young girl about 21, was electricuted to death in the house. She was opening a fridge when the force of the electricity grabbed her and pulled her into the fridge, killing her.

The first instance of things happening was when her boyfriend came over to have a few beers with my mums bf.

I was home alone one night when I heard a huge bang. It was so loud it frightened me so much. I got out of bed to try and work out what it was and as I walked past our fridge, I could smell death. It smelt like a decomposing rat or mouse.

At that point in the bottom of my little brothers toy box, a battery operated pin ball machine (which didn't have any batteries in it) started to make noise. I fished it out of the toy box and the numbers on it were spinning and spinning so fast. I was punching it to try and stop it but it wouldnt stop.

I called my mum who was out camping in histerics. I was terrified and couldnt stay in the house. A friend later came up to the house and took me back to their place for the night.

That wasn't the last thing to happen to me in that house and not long after I decided to move out.


As I get older I feel like I "see" things more often and more clearly. Just the other day I was at a friends house and we were preparing to go camping for the weekend. I lent down to put a sock on and just caught the glimpse of the top of a head of a little boy with brown hair. Ofcourse when I looked back, he was gone.

Thats how i see things atm. In quick glances. Long enough for me to identify features of them, but not long enough for me to have a good look.

I'll be honest, this type of thing scare the $hit out of me! I accept that there is more to death than just dying but I'd rather not see it.

I've also always felt very intuitive. I always listen to my intuition and I am usually always spot on. I also experience episiodes of where I will think someone is going to call, or think of a certain song etc and it happens seconds later. Conincidence - who knows?!

Anyhoo....now who's the thread whore! LOL!

This is great ladies!!!!!!

I am sorry to hear that you lost your FIL it must be so so precious to share those last moments with someone as they pass onto the next journey

AFM: well as some of you know my Oma has just recently passed. i am in her house atm (with my Opa) and the energy has been building. i *know* that my Oma is a stickler for traditions and i guess that some of this is attributed to her needing to go through the process of goodbye (i guess the funeral). but boy it has given me some fright last night. 'someone' was walking in front of the window outside of the house around 2am and it didnt feel good. i hope that it will pass. i know that ALOT of the energy has passed today and there is alot more calm itms. but still, i cant help but feel agitated.

[Malyna]

sometimes through dreams - and more like dejavu than anythign else...

[smiles4u]

... i still once in a blue moon smell the perfume my Great-Auntie use to wear, she passed away over a decade ago and i have her middle name as my middle name, it's so lovely to smell it when i don't expect it

hey Maz i've been seeing crows a lot lately

[Bathsheba]

Teresa: It's been a while since i read your posts but i just had a flash after reading them again today... the kind that I have learned to trust... I don't know if you have seen a member Caddie around here yet but the last flash i had involved her and quite interesting for both of us! Anyhow I believe you need to seek some guidance about how to protect your insight. Perceptive people (people who are aware of passed spirits etc) are vulnerable in some ways. In my early 20's i experienced something of a spiritual attack and was compelled to march straight to my closest church... i wasn't religious at all but it really helped. Even if you just sit there during your lunch hour and visualise yourself surrounded by white light. Please don't feel unnerved... you're safe... but I think you just need some white light. We all do now and again. I'll be imagining some around you too

[Calluna]

I've been smelling smoke (as in from a fire not cigarettes) again recently. I think I mentioned it in one of my other posts- used to smell it at my mum's old place but she never could and would check and find nothing wrong. Any idea if it means something in particular or just a random smell? Pretty sure it's not from outside cause DF can never smell it, just me.

About a month ago DS woke up crying at about 9/ 10pm, which isn't unusual, but when I walked in the room I had this horrible feeling. It's really hard to explain but the room just felt really wrong. So I quickly grabbed DS and went out to the lounge and put him back to sleep out there. Went to bring him back to bed and the second I entered the room felt it again. After less than a minute I had leave the room. I just could not physically be in there, and there was no way I was leaving DS in there so I took him back out. DF thought I was nuts. Went in turned the light on and said it was fine. I went in and it felt normal again. I dont know if he chased away whatever it was causing it or if turning on the light did but it scared the hell out of me.

[Bathsheba]

Heather: in that situation don't hesitate to say firmly (either in your head, under your breath or out loud... whatever you feel most comfortable with). "In the name of all that is good (insert God, the Holy spirit, Allah, or whatever you believe) LEAVE this place! You have no earthly power, LEAVE this place!" You could also try sprinkling salt in the room... this is one of several spiritual cleansing rituals i have learned over the years... maybe Google "spiritual cleansing". There are also certain crystals that are good to place in places that you feel are under the influence of negative energy spirits. I am no expert but you don't have to put up with that kind of bad energy in your home.

[Ilithyia]

This is going to sound really strange and some what obsessive....


But I think my Spirit Baby visited my womb last night!

I was getting ready to go to sleep when I was thinking that I would have been 17 weeks this Saturday and would have be feeling the baby move for sure. Then I started getting lots of little "kick" feelings right down low in my abdomen. For some strange reason, I said out allowed...."My Spirit Baby is visiting me!"

Am I crazy???

[Calluna]

Thanks Bath, I'll do that next time. What if I dont believe anything- I believe there is more than what we see/ know but no specific religion. Do I just skip the God part or do I need to replace it with something.
Off to google spiritual cleansing...

Sara- I dont think your crazy at all. Maybe bub was just letting you know that it knew you were thinking of them and that it was watching over you.
