When I was 17 I lived in a boarding school far away from my home.
One night just before I fell to sleep, you know that moment when you still notice what's going on around you, but you are half asleep.. I had a vision of a woman with long black hair, coming towards me with her arms reaching out against me. She stared at me with an intense look. She came closer and closer until she put her hand on my cheak. Then I "woke up" with my heart hammering. I could still feel her touch! It scared me so much I didn't get much sleep that night. I couldn't get the image out of my head! And suddenly I realised where I had seen the woman before! It was a much younger version of my grandmother! I had seen pictures of her taken of her when she was abot 19-20.
The next day my mother called me. She didn't get to say what had happend, I started to cry, because I allready knew that my grandmother had passed away the evening before.
Because of a tragic family-conflict (long story..) I wasn't allowed to go to her funeral. Maybe she knew, and thats why she came to say goodbye to me.
When I was 18 I had a very good friend. But after a while we lost contact with eachother. 2 years later, in the middle of a dream I was interrupted by someone saying there was a phonecall for me. (Still in the dream..) I answered the phone, and there he was, my long lost friend. I remember thinking that he sounded so different from usual, so peacefull in a way. He had a lot of difficulties in his life.
The only thing I remember he said to me was "Are you ok now? Is your life good now?" (He was the only friend who stood by me after I tried to comit suicide 2 years earlier..)
When I woke up the next morning I couldn't forget that dream. It was something spesial about it.
The days went by, and then I recieved a phonecall telling me he had died in a motorbike accident. And would you belive it, I had the dream exactly the night after the day he died..
I still miss him a lot!
I know that all of this is hard to believe, but i swear it's the truth.
Have anyone expirienced anything like this?
And please excuse my horrible english!:blush:

Hey sweetie,
I thought your english was very good. Psychic powers work in different ways and it sounds like yours are in full bloom when you are sleeping. I've heard that older folks when they pass on do look younger because in the other world we are all about 35. Or look like we are anyways. It's really nice that your Grandma came to say goodbye to you. And your friend also.
When I was a teenager, my powers worked a lot like that. Then when I got older they tended to go away for awhile. I think because I didn't want to be different. Then when I was preg they came back full force. So now that I'm not pregnant, I have acknowledged what I had and try to keep ahold of what I do have. It's hard though when there's not much out there on how to build and keep them.
Just be thankful and don't damn what you have. Learn and grow!
P.s. I'm glad that you are still around
Take care sweetie,

This is an area I can relate to Ruthie. I have had very realistic dreams, that were realistic all the way down to smell. They are not like normal dreams I've had, so I consider them 'visits' from some of the people I know that have passed on. I've also had dreams that I think warned or prepared me for a future event. I would love to be more in touch psychicly, so I could maybe understand all of this better!
A couple of them I have had are:
About a year after a woman who was very much like a mother to me passed, I had a dream about her. We started to talk & catch up & she kept telling me how peaceful it was where she was at. She wanted to show me around there, but told me I wasn't ready yet. For most of that next day, I kept walking through a smell that smelled like she did in life.
Both times I was pregnant, I had awful dreams that my childrens father died. I
always thought they were connected to being pregnant somehow & I hated having them! We ended up loosing him to cancer in Dec. of 2001. Makes you wonder if it wasn't a warning to prepare me! (Trust me, nothing can prepare you for that!)
I hope that helps you to know you are not alone & your english is just fine!

I've kinda experienced what you're talking about in a way Ruthie! (And I'm glad you're still around as well!) 
I used to (and still do on occasion) read tarot cards for friends. Once in the middle of a reading for my best friend (we were doing the reading on the phone as she sat in her car. She was having a bad day and needed a quick "everything's going to be okay reading) i had the hardest time trying to get out what i was trying to tell her because i had this overwhelming feeling of something heavy on my chest. Soon things and images started to show themselves to me. I had the image of a radio in my head and someone changing the station. I just blurted out to her that she needed to change the radio station in her car. She hit the seek button and the station it landed on was playing the song, "wild horses" by Garth Brooks. She just started bawling and said, "oh my god, tell me more." So i continued not really knowing what the heck was going on. I told her that someone was showing me things about her life that i had no idea about. The more i described the more i knew who was showing me these things. Her older sister had commited suicide when my best friend was very young. In fact, she was the one who found her after her sister shot herself. I didn't realize what i had just done until my best friend thanked me for telling her that her sister was alright. For almost a year straight anytime i did readings for friends i would get bombarded by imagery and details about people and the way they died as messages for those i was reading.
It was alright by me, until one day i was in my car and i had this overwhelming feeling that i was going to get into a car accident. I was scared to death to drive that day and decided that i was going home, and not touching a car until it passed. I went home and a friend of mine called me 10 minutes after i got home and asked for a reading. I read for her and not even 5 seconds after sitting down to read for her i was bombarded once again with imagery, and not until the end of the reading and her telling me who she thought the person was coming through was did i understand the reason for my driving fears. It was her son's best friend who had come through to she and i, and he had died in a horrible car crash. As soon as the reading was over i was totally without fear of driving. I kinda gave up reading on purpose for awhile due to the "hang-over" affect of the people that would come through to me. If someone died by car crash i would be terrified by driving. If someone was in pain before they died, i would FEEL that pain until the reading was over. If someone died suddenly by someone else, i would be afraid of anyone and everyone to the point of paranoia.
I do believe the deceased find anyone and anyway they can use to come accross to let those they love know that they're okay. It may be scary, but don't we usually fear the unknown?

Hi!
Thanks for all the answers!
Lately I've been having these dreams telling me that my bestfriends grandmother will die..
The day after the first dream I was told that she's just home from the hospital, where she was given some medecine she's allergic to. And that she's not feeling very well now..
I don't want to tell my friend about the dreams, cause it will upset her a lot.
And ofcourse I hope these dreams are just normal dreams. Even though I've had them 5 times within 1 week..
I don't know what to do..
Maybe my friend will be more upset if it turns out that my dreams are an actual warning, and she finds out that I knew what was gonna happen..
But I really don't want to tell her!
Any thougts on what to do?

LMAO Hammy, I bet you can't wait
Ruthie, I really really wouldn't say anything to your friend about the dreams. They may turn out to be nothing at all in which case you will have upset her for nothing. Even if they genuinely are some kind of warning that her grandmother is about to die telling her will not stop it from happening and I doubt that it will be of any help to your friend to have prior knowledge.
I think it's best if you say nothing and be there for your friend if the worst happens.
Hi again!
Thistle I agree with you! I'm not gonna tell her.
Hammy: LOL!! I know what you mean!

So like ,if y'all are psychic or whatever, do you ever have any predictions that arent so doom impending?
I mean do you ever predict any situation that may be light or humorous. Why are unexplained mysteries so serious?
Why cant aliens be laughing at us? Why cant bigfoot be a lost hippy? Why cant anyone predict George Bush waving at Stevie Wonder?

Not related to Nancy's are they?
You don't have the gravy strained? (Only your patience I suppose)Why not treat them to an afternoon of local ghost stories, or would that make them feel at home?

Or burnt jellys for dessert...
Oh Ruthie I was visited by someone that passed on right before Thanksgiving. The person that visited me was not a friend of mine either. I was watching t.v. and felt real sleepy all of a sudden. I went to lay down and my hit started hurting, and I went blind. All of a sudden this thought popped in my head that this was the worst headache that I ever had in my life. I could see after that (this part is where I am not sure if I had actually fell asleep) and there was this woman at the door and it was my ex's wife. She yelled at me and said when of us would have to go/die. I responded with it is not gonna be me. And this "person" started to scream and clutch her head and said that she was having the worst headached of her life. My dad came in the room after that...because all of the commotion. The following week, after Thanksgiving, I called my friend and found out his wife died of an aneurysm.
Burnt jellies eh? Only the once. Not my most favourite food, particularly the pink variety from the Bunny Rabbit mould (mold).

I'm sincerely glad to hear nothing happened to you.
I found all this very interesting ..i seem to relate to these stories in part..
I have had several unexplained happenings in my life.+
once i was watching my portable tele just beside my bed and i just switched it off.. when idoly glancing round my bedroom i noticed a small pinpoint of light above the wardrobe..
as i watched this light grew larger and closer and before i knew it had arrived in front of my face..The light had formed a perfect (what we now term) orb ..it seemed it would pass right through my face so i put my hand up and said no! and it vanished.. but i was able to make out a pair of glasses within the orb.. just the sot my maternal grandmother wore.. and i had been thinking of her.. and as i recall it was the anniversary of her departure from this life..
Wish i could get some one here to do tarot for me! as an after thought; you know the way there is all this controversy about "orbs" they really are another form of spirit.. i mean a form they take...Coz i remember thinking at that time... that was silly a ghost doesnt appear like that in a light and get bigger.. i thought it should just appear as a full blown figure! but you need to know the difference in "rain orbs" and true spiritual beings.. its easy after experience.. when you look at your pics.. a true orb is really glowing energy ..like an aura.. and you can just see that it is "alive" and has a purpose..i took a couple more tonight on my camera.. at same location i got those great shots on sunday of spirit leaving the grave etc.but some one with me tonight so it never works the same.. my time on sunday with that spirit ,that stayed ...seemed personal... i only had a small memory card.. or i could have taken so many more shots.. hope i can again..

I'll second that Sarki.
That must have been a really frightening experience, I don't suppose it was much consolation to find out that she had actually died !!!!!

Yeah, not to long after that I got this little pamphlet in the mail regarding symptoms and when to go to an emergency room. Right under aneurysm, it said, people that have aneurysms usually say it is the worst headache of their life.
So that spooked me more than the actual visit 'cause I did not know that was a symptom of an aneurysm. Glad too say that has never happened again. Not even when my aunt died. Which I fully expected cause my aunt is family.

At the time, I couldn't tell what was real anymore, you know was it a dream was I awake....so I wasn't initially frightened.
And to be honest, I'm afraid I was the naughty in that relationship Thistle...so I always felt guilty about that experience. I read some angel book about people given a choice to die or live. Being that the ghosty said, "One of us has to go" made me feel like the choice was up to me...so in some weird way I felt responsible for this woman dying. I mean I know I could not have done anything to prevent the situation from happening, but I will say it was one of the major defining moments in my pursuit of the metaphysical. That was the experience that made me seek answers...

Try not to feel bad about that. Something similar happened to C G Jung, no less. It's not something you can change now anyway, as if you would. Sarky was meant to continue being sarky.

Thank you A:21, kind words mean a lot.
I did not know about Jung, that is interesting, I must explore that.
The cookie in me must know.
I plan on living life to the fullest..growing Sarky and eating pink bunny jelly with my gums in my old age.
Sarky ~ what an amazing story........... 
It obviously wasn't your time to go (thank heaven) ..... as Teddy says, "You can't drown if you're meant to burn".

There's lots of ways to view those events, each more or less as believable as the next. I'd choose one that didn't provoke unnecessary guilt.
If you're interested btw, the Jung incident occurred around the time of his heart attack and near death experience.

I don't think you should feel guilty at all! You had a scary expirience, but don't get your mind tangled up in this. These things happen, and it seems we can't do anything about it. So I guess we'll just have to live with it. No one in that situation would know excactly what to do! -That is if you CAN do anything at all!
Have fun, it's friday!!!
Have fun, it's friday!!!
Thank you Hammy and Ruthie...
I've been wanting to share that for a long time.... I could never bring myself to start a thread.
A:21 you are right...Looking back, the energy surronding that night was negative, so I picked the most negative way to interpet those events... After sharing, I see now that there are other ways to interpret things... I got caught up... I think part of it was trying to find reason. I wanted to put a label on the event, and tuck it away. Sorta of like Cuffy and his deltoid
