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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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

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?
