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

[~Hestia~]

Eeeek why do I read things like this when I'm all on my lonesome!
Maz - you seriously give me goosebumps! SO interesting though.

I've had a few dreams that ended up playing out in real life a couple of weeks later. Wasn't anything too exciting but did happen exactly like I dreamed it.
Sometimes I just have a feeling about something that ends up being right. Can't think of anything specific right now though!

i smelt my nana after she had passed, it was at DD1s birthday party. and a few other times also. she passed just over a year ago and i havent smelt her since. its wierd because i cant even remember or describe the smell but i knew it smelt like nana. sometimes i hope i smell it again.
i have always had 'feelings' that i havent been alone, even as a kid. i got really freaked out and still do. i dont really know if it was anything or just in my imagination. i have had such a bad feeling from certain rooms that i havent even gone near them.

thats about it for me. i think if i ever had any ability i freaked myself out too much to do anything about it.

maz, i really enjoy reading your posts! :-)

Ive had the dream thing happen to me a few times. My dad is VERY much into it and has alot of contact with his spiritual guides. But the next one is, my DS. He has said things he couldnt possibly have known. Things like a friend's DH being sick. We werent even talking about my friend's DH, DS just came out and said it. I said nah i think hes at work. He insisted he was sick i just said oh ok. Met up with my friend who tells me her DH is home sick. First time he'd been that sick in a year. Another time he tells me we're going to Nan & Grandie's (my parents). I organised with my mum on the phone the night before, when he was asleep in bed at the other end of the house that we would go and stay for a few days the next week. I hadnt even told DH yet. The day Michael Jackson died he tells me Michael Jackson is in the sky dancing. Now, back then he had no idea what going into the sky meant, who MJ was, let alone to know he was dancing. Another day we go for a play date at friends house. We've never been there before, nor had DS had much interaction with my friend's DS. That morning he tells me this boy has a mega blocks firetruck the same as he has. We go there, sitting talking and having a coffee, i look over to see DS and his friend playing with the mega blocks firetruck he told me about! Theres been so much more, but he definately has a gift of just knowing things..

A dark shadow leaped to my parents van next to us stop and then just vanish.l It never came back again but when Lost was on that black evil cloud reminded me so much of it.

ohhh i know what you are talking about there lol! the black shadow thingy from Lost was *kinda* like the scary as hell thing that used to harass me for years on end...not so round and formed, but black shadowy/smoky like itms. totally uncool TBH.

my Oma passed away yesterday morning. and the last 2 weeks have been pretty full on as my Godmother (who passed away 13 years ago) kept visiting me (she has done this in the past a few times). i tried ignoring the 'presence' for awhile (didnt realise it was skadi) until she bucketed a toddler stool at me lol! but she kept me updated basically over the the last couple of weeks and tried to prepare me as much as possible. still, it didnt help with the real loss iykwim but darn it it felt good to know that Oma was ready and that she was going to be there to hold her hand. One thing that i dont understand is that the night before Oma died (so thursday) i had a man (silhouette only) standing guard at my front door. when i 'opened' the door (didnt physically, dont know how best to describe it...) he turned and i wasnt scared, he just gave this reassuring and knowledgable look. I'm not sure who he is or what he was doing there??!! but man oh man he was frikkin powerful! i am intrigued...does anyone know what or who this could be?

overall it was a very strange night (we had a massive gum tree fall on our bedroom roof and but by some miracle it didnt come crashing down on us...SES and the whole works took about 4 hours to clear it...it was a nasty fall across powerlines etc).

[AnyDream]

Cass - so sorry your Oma has passed. What a blessing to have your godmother there helping you at this time. Maybe the man was standing there to make sure none of you went outside where the branch fell, or maybe he just gave it a bit of a push as it came down so it didn't hurt anyone?

yeah i just dont have any clue who he is....and TBH i CANNOT get over the strength and warmth and awe i felt in his presence. it was really powerful...almost addictive lol!

[Arimeh]

Cass -

This thread is amazing. I don't think I have any gifts really, I can sense some things, and I always have dreams that come true - which is a bit freaky. I used to be able to feel my guardian (don't know what else to call her) and one night I was having a severe panic attack, and I was on my own in a strange town in NSW, in a small motel room, having this awful panic attack and was thinking I was going to die. I lay down on the bed, and felt a hand running continuously through my hair, and a voice telling me it was all ok, its ok.. everything is going to be ok... shhhh... and I fell asleep. It was so peaceful and loving.

And - I'm not sure whether or not to tell this story, but I will - and if it freaks too many people out I'll delete it later.

When I was pregnant with DS (14 weeks on the dot) I was lying in bed one night with my back to the bedroom window. I felt a presence behind me. Then, I felt whoever it was trying to yank me out of my body ITMS? I was holding on tight to DH around his belly and just squeezing and squeezing him, determined not to let go. I was saying (in my head) - no, no, leave me alone, you're not going to get my baby. It was such a strong feeling and I thought I was going to let go, the pull was that strong. But I didn't - and then I blacked out. (in saying that I blacked out, sleep was immediate, but I did not fall asleep)

After I had blacked out, DH had woken up and saw a shadow on the wall, for whatever it was behind me. He was pretty freaked I think and never turned around, and then he blacked out as well.

We have suspicions on what it was, but we're keeping the theory to ourselves (mainly for fear of judgement). They never came back when I was pregnant with the girls, just DS.

[~Hestia~]

Arimeh - that sounds terrifying!

[Ryatha]

arimeh - that sounds so scary

wow - thank you all for sharing your stories. Some gave me goose bumps and others reminded me of times it has happened to me.

I have dreams as well, very distinct and usally don't come real for about 10 years. So when I was in high school dreaming about my hubby (balding and with a gut ) and my kids was a bit bizzare! I also know things and can send this information to my mum and sister. When my sisters dog died she was in europe and we had decided not to tell her that her dog died until she got back but she call that evening and asked what had happened to her dog. Also I remember sitting in my room and thinking 'I really need a desk fan, I need to tell mum' and mum came home about an hour later and gave me a desk fan saying 'I thought you might need one'

I have only been visited by my mums parents. My grandpa died 5 months before my wedding but a day or so before he passed he kept asking for my DH and saying the date of our wedding. Then at our reception mum, DH and I all felt him, it brought tears to my eyes but I was so happy he could be with us. My nana died only recently and when I was at her bedside saying goodbye I meant to tell her that I had just found out I was pregnant but what I said was you have another granddaughter on the way. There was no way I could know this but I 'knew' then I was carrying a girl. I have felt that nana has always been close to DD2 and when we were at the dawn service DD2 and I were quietly standing there when I suddenly smelt her perfume. I knew that she was with us and I let DH know. He couldn't smell her but was happy she was with us. I smelt it a few more times after that as well.

I also know that DD1's guardian is very active. He has needed to be with all her accidents. But one day when I had got to my parents house I had parked on the other side of the road and it was very busy. DD1 ran out from the back of the car to run over the road and suddenly just before she stepped on to the road she fell flat on her face. Just then a car went speeding past. Had DD1 not tripped she would have been killed. All I could do was hug her and reassure both of us she was ok.

Ok, that is probably enough from me, and maz calls herself a thread whore!

Just one last thing, does anyone just 'know' things when they talk to someone? I have felt recently that I am able to tell what is going on in someone as I speak to them and I'm trying to work out if I am being super observant or if my intuition is starting to kick in.

[AnyDream]

Mel, thanks for posting that story. If you haven't read any Stuart Wilde, you might find it helpful. I know what you speak of, I've had a brush with them too. Freaky, but the universe is obviously a very large place.

Ryatha and Cass, lovely stories. I've had guardian moments, the best one is the time I stopped, without knowing why, when I was about to drive onto a roundabout. 2 seconds later a speeding vehicle appeared, careered around the roundabout, swerving uncontrollably into the lane I would've been in at exactly that time. If I'd driven on their car would've collected mine right where the driver sits. I said a very big thankyou after that.

I have been *blocking* things for years and after DH died I did a 2 day workshop to help me develop some skills and my ability to connect with him. He has given signs that he is around - changed the wallpaper on his locked phone the morning of our scan 3 days after he died, email sent just before he died open on the computer (with a kind of a joke element to it), big ginger and white adult cat on our fence the day we returned home after the funeral (never seen before, never seen since) etc. DS has dreamt of him and told us he went to the *blue* park with Daddy - their usual place to play. DD has given indications that she can see him.

I am still learning and still doubt what I can hear (mainly) but have had de ja vu dreams in the past and knowing that someone is just about to arrive / call. I rely on intuition frequently at work but have been able to dismiss this as advanced clinical skills rather than anything else. As a beginner who doubts what comes through I have found a pendulum useful for the moment until I can trust myself and my messages. I just fear the unknown and not being sure what I can actually do scares me. Also, not having too many people to talk about this with is also challenging - especially as many of my friends are concrete, scientific thinkers

[Kazmar]

Well Michell my dad has come to me in my dreams I know it was different to all other dreams as I could 'feel' in this dream My step mum went to a 2 day workshop, host was 'Deb Webber'. Was it the same host for you?

No doubt in my mind your DH would visit, especially your babies


Im loving reading these ladies Keep them coming. Even if you think you sound crazy, spill As I would love to read it, and wont think you're crazy!

[Michelle71]

It was a different host. I actually chose to do a one on one workshop so I could focus on my personal development areas and messages. The meditation aspect was an invaluable skill - I just wish I could practice more often!! Either little people distracting or too tired to concentrate and do it properly.

DH is actually still more earthside - waiting until this baby arrives before he transitions to a higher level. Part of the reason I am finding it harder to make connection with him. I am told it will get easier once he is no longer on this plane. But right now, I am happy he is closer and waiting with me for the birth of our son.

[Kazmar]

Michelle- You're amazing

What is helping me with loosing dad, is that I haven't lost him at all. Just in this dimention

The workshop my stepmum went to confirmed everything I was raised with PM if you want to discuss

Hope yours helped you He is with you. Death from here doesn't mean gone iykwim

[Michelle71]

Exactly what I am starting to learn Apparently doing this course has made my guides very happy - they must have been frustrated dealing with a determined blocker all these years

Just an aside - while my DH could have been a doubter, he had skills. Except for Caitlyn, he correctly identified the gender of each of out babies at about 5 weeks with a gender appropriate nickname. He and his mother also had a special connection and she would often ring if he was having difficulties - and to ask if we were pregnant with a girl within days of POAS with DD

[Cherished]

HI girls, I've been reading this thread for a few days now and it's fantastic! I've often wondered myself what gifts fellow BB'ers have There are too many amazing stories to comment on directly but there are 2 in particular I would like to mention

Michelle I remember reading about your dh passing and have thought of you often, I'm almost relieved to read that you are in contact with him. I think you will find that now you have opened the flood gates so to speak you will have heaps of information flowing through and your growth will be exponential.

Cassius Wow girl you have a pretty special gift! I can understand not mentioning the death thing to those that you see it for. Personally if a lovely person like yourself saw death for me or someone I cared about I think I'd appreciate some well timed sincere words from you in general conversation. Something about treasuring every moment with your loved ones etc would be enough for me to think about spending some quality time with those important to me without having to know that death is around the corner. That way the ones who are left behind can have a special memory and I would go knowing that I left with love and gratitude in my heart because I'd spent the time to stop and smell the roses so to speak Have you had any visits from your beautiful Oma? That man you spoke of seems like he is protecting you or maybe waiting to protect someone who is very special who is coming to visit you?

OK so I know this thread is about seeing the past and future, can't remember who it was saying about feeling/seeing what may of been their own past lives but that is really cool! I've only seen a few of my past lives during meditation. Dreaming and my regular intuition are great skills I have but my real gift is creating the future through manifesting! I am so good at it that many other people who are 'trying' to create, have noticed this skill and have asked me how I do it My dh has the most amazing intuition and he is receiving messages on a smaller scale every day. I am sure if he cared enough he would be able to expand that gift into seeing the future but he isn't really interested. He has the ability to speak to someone over the phone or face to face and know what is going on for them and he is constantly receiving information on smaller day to day things. After a few years of me pointing all this stuff out to him I have made a believer out of him! He has a wonderful connection with what he calls his subconscious and can ask any question and he receives and answer... I'd like to think that answer is coming from his guides and filtering through his subconscious and he gets the info loud and clear. He doesn't language it like that but I'm pretty sure that is what is going on hence his ability to think about another person and know outcomes or action steps

[MrsFabuloso]

Wow, this is a great thread!! Some of you have some wonderful gifts!!

I don't think I really have much of a gift so much as an intuition. I just try to look into myself and see the way kind of, lol! Like many of you I have had the 'deja vu' dreams. Not so much since I've had my children but before I had them I used to get that feeling of having seen certain situations play out before in my dreams, I know the words that will be spoken, or maybe more the 'feeling' of them. THese situations are usually not terribly important times, usually just normal run of the mill kind of days, not significant days or anything. I actually haven't had one for a long time. But then I don't get alot of sleep these days (my kids are allergic to it! lol) and I don't think I sleep heavily enough anymore to get into the dream phase properly...
Also each time I have been pg I have dreamed of my babies coming to me early in the pg. With my miscarriages I had the feeling that the bubs wouldn't be earth babies. I also dream the sex of them and very early in pg I have an intuition of what sex they will be. In 4 pregnancies, I have not been wrong. This time, I think we're having a girl. DD has told me that the baby is a girl too. And unlike my other two bubs she will be a baldy baby with light hair, lol! But we'll wait and see for that prediction!
I often ask what I guess would be my guides or guardians what path I should take in certain situations. And I usually get some sort of sign. For example recently I asked them if it was right for my family if we should have baby #3, and for weeks all I saw everywhere was pg women and tiny babies, lol, then once DH and I said yep, we would ttc #3, I didn't see the pg women or babies in the numbers I had been seeing. I asked if it would be right for our family to move to the bush. A week later there was a job available for DH in two different country towns, I asked them to point the way to the right place for us and the guy in charge of the two jobs, a few days later called and told DH he thought it would be best if we came out to where we are currently living and gave the reasons, even though it was totally unprofessional and not really his place to do so!! Now I suppose doubters (like my DH!) could say all of this could be my own subconcious telling me what is best and just me seeing signs in things that would happen anyway, but I think it is my guides/guardians giving me a helping hand. I don't think I have never felt them really, nor seen them. I just have faith that they are around.
My mum has a connection with us kids. She often calls when we need her to. She knows when something is wrong and often what we need.
My grandfather and I think my uncle too 'haunt' my grandma's house. Several people (only relatives though) have heard footsteps in her hall way. On cold nights her electric blanket is known to come on by itself! She used to have a clock that would chime the hour and it had been broken for years, then on the anniversary of Bippy's (grandad's) death (8/8/87) one day it chimed 8 times. Sooo weird!! After my uncle passed away, all of his photos would regularly fall over. Nan had some of his clothes at her house stashed away in her cupboard and she would often find them in strange places, when noone ever touched them. One day she found a pair of his socks stashed under her carseat, lol! There's other things I can't think of at the moment!
I have aslo had the real dreams of people who have passed. I can't remember details anymore, but nearly everyone I know who has passed away has visited me in a dream, usually only one, maybe to just say goodbye

[2CheekyMonkeys]

hey i have a question... if you have a dream of someone who has passed and you think it is actually them visiting you does it have to have happened before you found out they have died? i ask because my nana passed (i knew she was sick but thought it would be like a couple weeks to a month) suddenly got a phone call from mum sahing she passed. anyway it was either that night i found out or the night after i had a dream and nana was in it and i just had a feeling it was actually her. she looked healthy, like i remember her from wheni was little, she was telling me she had been sick for about 6 months previously to when this had all happened and i just generally felt better after i woke up. but then again it could have just been a normal dream brought on by thinking about it all i suppose?

on the other hand, about 6 months later mums dad was sick and mum had a dream that nana and grandad (mums parents) came to her. she woke up and knew that grandad had passed. sure enough she got the phone call that day. so this is slightly different to my dream as she didnt know he had died.
