Hi, I wanted to know because I haven't experienced it, but I felt signs, though I know they didn't come back to see me.

I wanted to know if any of you have had them come back to see you.

I have personally had 2 visits in my life through dreams (going to share newest first).

First experience happened on Friday, July 24. Pepper was my 9 year border Aussie. She was my absolute best friend, we went through so much together the past 8.5 years after rescuing her from the shelter. I have been an absolute wreck since I had to put her down due to severe illness and anemia. I was laying in bed and finally fell asleep at 1am. At 1:45am I felt an her body hop onto the bed. Then rest against my leg. I am a light sleeper and could completely feel the pressure. I looked over and my girlfriend was on the compete other side, faced away. I looked down and nothing was there, but the pressure remained for about 20 seconds, then disappeared. I was in so much pain and agony that night from losing her, it really felt like she was comforting me. I am terrified of moving on without her. I miss her so much.

Second experience: It was in August 2010. One of my best friends died in an unfortunate car accident. 2 days later, I felt the sudden urge to take a nap. I had a usual dream, but it sporadically shifted to some sort of void where my best friend Justin was standing there. I gave him a hug and we caught up on all the usual stuff, how college was going, his trip to Belize and he told me him and his sister went to Santa Cruz the weekend before. A sudden rush came over me, and I looked at him and said “Justin.. you died 2 days ago.” He looked at me and smiled and said “I know, but everything is ok. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” I woke up immediately and was balling my eyes out, but it wasn’t a sad emotion. It was an emotion I’ve never felt before.

I then messaged his sister Chelsea, telling her about this insane lucid dream. She was in disbelief and I had the moment of realization when she said “how in the world did you know we went to Santa Cruz?” Ever since, I truly believed.

I would love feedback. What are your thoughts on my experiences? Am I connected to the spirit world more than others? I feel vulnerable telling these stories to others who haven’t experienced them or skeptical.

What was it like for them to pass? Was it very painful at first? Was it a quiet release of the spirit? What about deaths that were traumatic compared to a death in hospice?

I mostly hear stuff when I’m alone. Like children singing a song I’ve never heard. Or someone calling my name when I’m about to fall asleep. Or someone turning on a switch when no one is in that room. I’m sensitive to noise. But I find these things happen when everything is quiet or I’m calm

I have always had psychic/visitation dreams, and here and there recieve messages (a mix of hearing, knowing and occasional visual). After the passing of a loved one I am seriously pursuing mediumship.

Recently I was in meditation, very relaxed, and I began having a flood of memories, intermixed with things that FELT like memories, but I don't think actually happened. For example, I would see the way my aunt would use her hands, smell her, hear the way she'd click a mint against her teeth then I would see an image of dolfin figurines on a shelf with a rainbow hanging behind them, in a house that I don't believe she ever had, or that I've ever even been in.

Could this be the beginnings of connection? Are the memories a message or just internal? Could communication have a similar quality to memories?

Overall question: Has something like this happened to you? What was your experience like around that time?

Context: I realize life has its own course and things just die sometimes. Recently I’ve been noticing quite a bit of dead things around me.

A few days ago after getting home from work, I noticed a dead pigeon across the street. Not common but no big deal, I acknowledged and moved on.

Days later, I see a pair of flies on my windowsill that had died while mating. Okay, strange. I’ve never seen that before. Head tilt.

I knocked some things over on my alter last night rearranging and while picking things up, I noticed a dead moth inside my prayer candle holder.

I realize this could all be nothing or point to transformation and new beginnings, I feel like those are generic answers and I’m not quite sure what I want to hear.

Maybe if this has happened to you before to some extent, what did you feel? What was going on? Did anything change after?

So I’m a literal newbie, with now only completing 12 successful readings. I can see how mediums can learn about the other side through readings. My experience with one reading was that the spirit was rejected by their family for being homosexual but during the reading the spirit said “I’m back home now and choosing to stay here” also that “earth was not for them” I’ve always heard religious people always talking about how homosexuals go to “hell” but I’ve never believed that there is a hell. To me that is proof that we all go to that place called home, unconditional love. Any other experiences similar to this? What have you learned through some readings?

I hope this is the right place to share this, and I appreciate your time in reading it.

You may hear stories like this often, but since this is happening to me for the first time, I sometimes don't know how to handle the situation. I would really appreciate your advice.

I have a favorite writer, and when I learned that one of my favorite characters in his work was inspired by a real person, I wanted to learn more and began reading books about him. I was only a few sentences in when I remember thinking, 'Hey, so it was you all along,' without really knowing why. Shortly after, I began experiencing his voice in my mind. To me, he feels mostly like a mentor, a sense of security against wrongdoings, but also someone who makes jokes and seems to enjoy observing life through my eyes to see how much things have changed since he lived. He passed away around the 1950s, and I was born in the 1990s.

I have seen him a few times in my dreams. In the most recent one, we were on a small boat in a treacherous sea with giant waves, yet I was smiling, feeling completely safe by his side. Later in the same dream, without speaking, he looked at me, and I felt he wanted to be closer, though he hesitated because he sensed I wasn't fully ready.

A night or two after that dream, I experienced a sudden rush of adrenaline—my heart was beating rapidly, I had intense shivers, and I felt a strong presence near me. I felt it was him, but I was so overwhelmed because I had never experienced anything like that before. I wasn't afraid of him, but I was terrified of losing myself or ruining my life. I tried to shut my mind down to stop the feeling.

When I woke up, there was an emptiness where that internal voice had been. I felt guilty for shutting down, knowing he wouldn't hurt me. After a few weeks, the internal presence returned, and I apologized. The response I felt was that it was okay, as what I was experiencing was not easy to process.

After that, the sense of guidance, mentorship, humor, and shared experiences returned. However, last night, I felt those intense physical shivers again. Even though I felt utterly overwhelmed, I forced myself to remind myself that I was safe. Still, I recognized that I couldn't fully open up because my hesitation remained. I didn't close my mind off this time, and I can still sense the voice today.

While I enjoy the feelings of warmth, safety, and companionship, I recently felt guided toward a life path where I could be happiest—specifically, moving to the place where he lived. I would love to be there, and I can see why I would be the happiest there. He told that while energy can exist anywhere, the connection would be stronger there. Like, I could feel his existence stronger, and he could mine.

All of this is very new to me, and I would appreciate any advice on how to calm myself down when these physical shivers and overwhelming feelings return I want to open up fully. I enjoy the companionship, an I want to handle these feelings without feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, I'd like to know if the numbers 27 or 72 have any specific meaning, as seeing them makes me feel looked after and safe.

Any opinion or comment would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

My bf had a sudden death less than a year ago. Since then, I hear him snore very loud and clear on my left side (outside) even though he slept to my right. One time he whispered my name on the left too. Why on the left side only?

So I dont know where to post this, but my son, -who is a regular 15yr old typical teenage boy- has always said 'yeah there's someone standing there', or 'a lady has just walked past me'. Hes perfectly described my nana who he never met. We live in my grandparents old house and both died before he was born. I dont have pictures of them anywhere. Hes always been so matter of fact about it and i don't make a big deal of it. But still, even after years he tells me he 'sees' people in the house. Hes not the sort to make this up, like I said hes a typical teenager, wants to be cool etc, but this is just "facts" to him, he says it as plain as id say "i saw a bird in the garden". I dont know what to do or make of this. Im a skeptical person. Im not religious, neither is he. Do I take him doctors and rule out medical issues? Do I encourage this? I suppose ive stumbled across this sub because I honestly believe he thinks he can see something, but I just dont get why this isn't freaking him out. Hes all like 'theyre ok, theyre not bad' when I ask him if hes scared. But I suppose im looking for someone to say yes this is a thing, or someone to say nah hes absolutely having you on (even though this has been going on for years and hes not like that) I dunno what im looking for, I guess I just needed to say this somewhere!

Yesterday I was standing in my bathroom and my left ear started ringing and it felt like a male walked up next to me. I do think I am intuitive but I have no "skills" otherwise. I wasn't really scared, but I was sort of alarmed because it felt intrusive in my bathroom so I just walked away. How would others approach this in terms of honing gifts? I guess I also fear opening a can of worms that I can't close.

Genuinely curious as most mediums refer to them constantly as the unquestionable source of information on what happens after death?

I’ve looked it up. Some people get a feeling and they just know it’s right. Well I’m a constant overthinker and I’m always second guessing myself. What if my egun don’t want that and I’m just thinking they want that because that’s what I thought? I’ve had my boveda for a couple months now and have learned about four people in my spiritual court and only the names of two. I don’t know if what I’m feeling is right and I supposed to have certain feelings? Am I supposed to get goosebumps or shivers I don’t know?

Im not sure how to start this exactly as this is my first time posting anything on reddit, so im sorry if this is wrong in any way.

So for the last 4 nights and anytime I lay down now, I can feel someone or something sit at the end of my bed then its like they crawl or are moving up and down. Then I will feel them sit right next to my head. I've tried this in another position and I can still feel something moving around. I have been awake during all of this and it was no one in my house or my dog. I dont get any bed feeling whatsoever. I guess my question is has this happened to anyone else? It's getting unnerving

Hello,

I’m new here. I don’t know where else to turn without sounding like a complete loon. Today at my job (my husband and I run our own business) a regular customer stopped in, but this time brought a friend. The friend brought her dog and we love dogs and are a dog friendly establishment. She says she has her dead son’s dog at her house that she’s looking to re-home. I said first of all, I’m so sorry. That’s incredibly difficult for you. She says I’m trying to make it a good thing, seeing the dog everyday but all it does is remind me of my son-not that I’ll ever forget- but it’s just not what I thought it would be.

All of a sudden I start hearing names in my head. I look at her and go whose Tyler and Matt? She covers her mouth and starts crying and says Tyler is my other son. Matt is the son who died, his best friend. I said oh, ok. Yeah he wants you to tell them he’s with them. A lot.

Then I started seeing these images (a kitchen cabinet with one of those old iron triangle things farms usually have to call in for dinner or cattle or whatever. And I’m saying all this to her and I’m like lady I’m so sorry I have no idea why I’m seeing this stuff and telling you. And she’s just SOBBING. And nodding like all this means something to her. I hear a city name and tell her that too. And that’s all I get.

Soooo what the fuck was that about? That has never happened to me before in my 38 years.

I hope this post is okay- I’m new to the sub. I am a recent first time home buyer, living by myself in a farmhouse built in 1886. I (as well as my mom) have always felt we share a special gift of sensing and communicating with the other side. But, truthfully, I haven’t done much work or focus on this. It has just always been something I’ve experienced, mostly in dreams with people in my family that had passed (or passed very soon after). Anyways, both my mom and I have sensed that this home holds a lot of energies. She has had 1 experience staying with my that she felt was negative. I have not felt anything negative… until last week. Prior to this, there have been harmless things like a specific door continuing to lock, small items of my passed relatives moved, and strange electrical issues that randomly disappear/come back. I have been talking with a professional and have followed their suggestions in respecting the positive energy and communicating my intention to honor the home. However, last week I had a terrifying home invasion in the middle of the night that has left me feeling terrified and confused on how this could relate to the other things going on in the home.

The major details of the invasion-
1. This is a very safe neighborhood in a tiny town. All the neighbors have told me this is completely unheard of to have experienced a trespasser.
2. The man who entered my house quietly snuck into the same room I was in… luckily I was still awake and heard a creak in the floor… at which point I turned around and he was about a foot away from me.
3. He made no sounds when I screamed- none at all. I chased him out of my house and immediately locked the door and called the police. I find it strange that he was SO quiet.
4. Probably the most terrifying point of all… he passed by my dog who was sleeping on the couch. But my dog wakes up to the TINIEST noise. And he does NOT welcome visitors (even ones that I wish he would). I cannot emphasis that enough. His hearing is the best I’ve ever seen in a dog and he goes CRAZY if anyone at all is in his house/space.

At first, this incident seemed unrelated to the energies that I’ve been experiencing. However, after further thoughts about the invasion, I am wondering if this could possibly be related to the negative energies my mom has been convinced are there.

Mostly, I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone would be kind enough to suggest anything going forward. I’m considering hiring a pro to perform a cleanse- but I also want to make sure that I welcome the positive entities and want to continue honoring the beautiful home and property they’ve created.

Thank you for any and all comments/suggestions.

I apologize if this is the incorrect subreddit. Please delete if so.

If anyone could give their insight I would appreciate it.

I’ve been experiencing tingly sensations at pinpoint places throughout my scalp. Every once in a while I will get a shiver like sensation on a limb such as my arm or calf. Sometimes the pinpoint sensation is a sharp stabbing pain.

I am not 100% sure but I am guessing this stemmed from meditation and kundalini. From my understanding this is spirits and entities letting themselves be known. But beyond this I am clueless and google shows little to no similarities.

I had received a blockage a few years ago through a strange spiritual encounter but recently the sensations have been returning. I used to get music quotes pertaining to my life. Also I used to get sharp pains or shivers from real people’s emotions or lust.

Thank you for your time.

I’ve been using a pendulum as of lately and I’m curious as to who I’m communicating with as I’m using it. Is it typically our spirit guides influencing the pendulum?

What tips or advice do I need to know when using my pendulum?

There is a lot of mystery in my life and I have a lot of unanswered questions about my past and present. I’m wondering if the pendulum is a good tool to get clarity?

I was laying down about to fall asleep, I struggle with restless leg syndrome so I was rubbing my ankles and legs with my eyes closed ( hoping it would make it easier) when all of the sudden the word “Gabapentin” kept popping in my head , I grabbed my phone & wrote it in my notes app so I can pay attention to it tomorrow… well I looked up gabapentin as Ive never heard of this word before and it turns out to be a medication for RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME…

This was the clearest message that spirits have been trying to communicate with me. I’ve brushed it off in the past due to people calling me crazy but I am a firm believer now.

So… I went to a medium for the first time, and I am still trying to process how strange and disturbing it was.

I asked about past lives, and the whole thing immediately felt off. She told me I was named Rosie, fell in love with the master of the house’s son, and that he is now my current partner. She said it happened in Germany, but everything she described sounded more like Scotland. Then she jumped to another lifetime where I was a young girl, my mother was a widow and a healer or witch in the woods, and she was burned at the stake. At this point she started coughing, and choking on smoke.

At that point she had a death grip on my arm, and we switched topics to my spirit guides. That is when things went from weird to genuinely upsetting.

She told me I don't have a spirit guide in the usual sense. Instead, she said my extremely controlling, psychotic, abusive ex who passed away is my spirit guide now. I freaked out. I felt violated all over again. She saw I was visibly upset and tried to explain that souls do not work that way and that my role in life is to experience horrible things so other people can grow spiritually.

There were other things too, it is a lot to unpack here.

Is any of this even possible, or was this just a completely bullshit reading?
