Thank you so much Gaer!You're awesome Diva!

Check out my latest psychometry reading post from Sunday. @Pecos @Fyrefox @chic @Aunt Marg @grahamg @Knight @officerripley
Thank you so much Gaer!You're awesome Diva!
Actually if you have adult children or grandchildren, the dream might be relating happy news from them that involves a baby. And whether you have the potential for new descendants or not, the dream might be more about some 'new beginning' in your life that would bring joy.I would be scared! Having a baby in our lives at our age would be very disruptive, not to mention, a miracle.

Chic i live in house that was built over 150 yrs ago. In the guest bedroom we found signs the previous tenants who left in a hurry, had been afraid of something.I have precognitive dreams a lot and have since childhood. I also follow my intuition regarding dreams, situations and people. I know when someone intends to do me harm quickly enough to save myself. Once when my car was in the repair shop, I walked home from the grocery store which was only 5 blocks away. My arms were laden with bundles. Suddenly I felt someone directly behind me with bad intent. I whirled about and confronted a youngish wild eyed man about an inch behind me who immediately ran away up the street and out of sight but his face was so imprinted on my mind I could describe him to this day.
I can sometimes see ghosts or what we call ghosts, the traces left by those who have passed over. Mostly they are flashes, but some stay longer until they see me seeing them. Then they disappear. I never meet my departed family members though. I wish I could.
Pecos i have learned over the years that both precognitive dreams and 'knowings' or waking precognitive thoughts are basically us viewing one POTENTIAL future, sometimes what we do or someone else does in meantime can change what actually happens. It is possible the woman you dreamed also had some precognitive warning and took precautions.About 40 years ago I had a very vivid dream about driving down a isolated two lane road and coming across a car that had gone into the ditch. There was a woman inside and I was unable to get the door opened. I realized that I needed a crowbar, ... and then I woke up.
That same dream came back for the next two nights, so I went and bought a crowbar and put it in my trunk.
The very next night the same dream came back and I realized that while I had the crowbar, I also should have had a fire extinguisher and leather work gloves in case something was hot to touch.
So back to the hardware store where I picked up the fire extinguisher and thick gloves.
That dream never came back, and 40 years later I still have that crowbar, fire extinguisher, and gloves in my trunk.
And 40 years later, I have still not come across a woman trapped in a car on an isolated two lane road.
But I am still ready in case it ever happens!
You made an interesting point about time being different for the spirits. I think I knew this but filed it in the back of my mind. I also believe your point "As to spirits of those you know visiting, they do not always communicate clearly or directly, and rarely as dramatically as books, tv and movies portray. Often it is some small sign that is personal between you and them." The stories below seem to support that:Chic i live in house that was built over 150 yrs ago. In the guest bedroom we found signs the previous tenants who left in a hurry, had been afraid of something.
We have both spirits (ghosts that acknowledge our presence and we can interact with) and 'residual haunts' (those we can't interact with, only observe as they repeat actions or sounds, such as crying, from pivotal or sometimes habitual acts in their lives). One such RH first appeared one evening shortly after we moved in... both daughter and i saw him thru front window approaching the door and our Pekinese dog, Meja was acting as if some was coming. I opened door, surprised no-one there and put her on her lead ..she ran from side to side, then turned to look at me like 'Where'd they go?'. Thinking maybe the one of workmen i had taking down a dilapidated garage had come up but then decided not to i walked around the side of house to where they packing up tools for the day. Asked if they needed something they looked puzzled as responded 'no'.
We saw this RH, who we call 'cowboy due to how he dresses, several times and we think he came in spirit form after we got our pit bull pup, Jinx, and would play with him. One evening when we were both exhausted Jinx was behaving as if someone was playing with him when we were wiped out tired and still. I said 'Cowboy please we need him to settle down.' And it stopped with Jinx acting confused but then coming and curling up next to me. First few years one of the matriarchs that lived in this house watched me, i could her feel her when i walked the land (BTW found out from people in the vilage she had walked the land often too, and parents in the area told kids she was a bruja) and sometimes when cooking in the big country kitchen. Neither comes as often anymore, we suspect because they know we love the house and the land.
As to spirits of those you know visiting, they do not always communicate clearly or directly, and rarely as dramatically as books, tv and movies portray. Often it is some small sign that is personal between you and them. My Mom has never spoken directly to me, but now & then she makes the crystal windchimes i have tinkle. They are inside and its usually in winter when windows closed tight. She loved windchimes and i grew up with them so have usually had at least one set in my homes. My Dad has visited and spoken to me. My estranged hubby first visited a month or so after he died in 1978. He was angry, knocking things off walls. (Because we'd argued about afterlife, and he insisted there was nothingness whereas having had an NDE i knew.) Our sons, then 3 1/2 yrs old kept him earthbound but he was furious because he knew i'd know if he visited them and then no denying i'd been right. He hated to admit being wrong about anything. There's much more to that story but my point here is that visits from spirits we knew in life can take a wide range of forms, and on top of that, time is different for them. My Dad's first visit was 7 or 8 yrs after his death.
The visits of both Cowboy and Mrs. H. (the matriarch that liked to walk the property like i do) both sort of faded away after a year or so...as if since we had no problem with them and they knew we loved the place they felt they could move on, you never know with the way time is different for them. The last we heard from Cowboy, a week or so after asking to stop riling up Jinx inside the house, Esther Rene was getting ready for bed and heard a male voice say aloud kind of shyly "Am i bothering you" from doorway of her room. She said 'No you just startled me by asking.' but it's fine. And that was that. I think he may have visited Jinx a couple of times outside over the next few years. There was another RH that probably was from way back, that just walked across the west end of the house past the woodstove in the living room, and every now and then Zoe (my grand dog) or one of the cats will appear to be watching someone do that---but i think they've realized it does no harm and there's not even any consciousness behind it. Because why they'll still watch it's with a different attitude then the first few times.You made an interesting point about time being different for the spirits.

Often it is some small sign that is personal between you and them." The stories below seem to support that:
I often teased my son, who tells me I have a weird brain (because of all the psychic stuff he's witnessed from me), that he's probably psychic too but he didn't want to hear it. One day I was telling him that the two best friends of our neighbor who had died went over to help her husband clear out some of her things. After awhile they both ran out of the bedroom, past the husband and left the apartment. Apparently they saw or heard her spirit and got frightened. My son knows both the ladies, also neighbors and calls one of the mom. The one he called Mom is a tough, no nonsense woman, not inclined to frivolity. Anyway, that's when my son told me that one day he smelled his grandfather's pipe in what is now our studio. My father had been dead for several years and it's important to note that the window was not open and no one has ever smoked in this apartment. He and his grandfather had an extra special bond. I have never smelled Daddy's pipe in that room.
BTW...do you still see "Cowboy"? I remember you mentioning him years ago. Also, if you can remember details about some of the psychometry readings you've done, I'd love to hear about them.
"i think i'll make a separate post on this thread about psychometry, quoting just your request about them." That works for me.The visits of both Cowboy and Mrs. H.

How I got pregnant, I'll never know.
Not sure how i missed this, or maybe got distracted before i could respond. But that dream could actually have some meaning depending on what is going on in your life. Pregnancy, particularly when it's not physically possible often indicates something new coming into our lives--often something that means some work but ultimately we enjoy and/or are grateful for having it in our lives.This is way off course but I thought I'd share.
I woke up pregnant and surrounded by loads and loads of clutter. I watched Hoarders last night. Clutter surrounded me.
How I got pregnant, I'll never know. At my age and the fact that I don't have the needed equipment is indeed an immaculate conception.
I woke up so upset because according to the dream, I cleaned up all the mess by myself! 9 months pregnant and all.
Have a wonderful and productive day.ā£
Thank you for taking time to reply. Just as with the Silva method, when we had the class on psychometry, which was only one session, the instructor told us to write everything down (our impressions, visions, whatever) no matter how trivial it seemed. I found that worked well during my first reading and the ones I did afterward.OneEyedDiva Asked: "Also, if you can remember details about some of the psychometry readings you've done, I'd love to hear about them."
Since this could go long i thought i'd answer it separately.
Most of my life i kind of subconsciously did psychometry--sometimes just feeling the 'vibes' of a place or person bit didn't learn how to formal do it till i'd had the Silva Method Meditation course and belonged to a group of graduates of the course who met to practice the skills. With psychometry you don't always get immediate feedback since you may pick up some something about the person's family that they don't know at the time or get 'precognitive' info that can't be confirmed till it happens. (And some people will resist confirming your parts or all your reading. In Silva we talked about telling every detail, no matter how silly or trivial because the stuff you want to hold back for such reasons may be precisely the detail that validates to the subject that you are indeed obtaining info about them. When we received a reading we would confirm what we could but simply say 'i don't have any info about___' about parts we couldn't relate to. Thing is we often ended up confirming such things to people the next week or couple of weeks down the road. i really think/feel that the various modes of 'learning' info that you are not privy to via your physical senses are connected because they all stem from the same thing---how consciousness works, how it is unlimited by time and space. Whether it is psychometry, telepathy or precognition which both can be experienced when awake or asleep and 'dreaming'---they all are products of how consciousness both individual and cosmic/universal work.
After all i've experienced i'm still a person who looks for 'mundane' explanations first. Sometimes just being a good observer of people you store info away subliminally that becomes conscious when you're focusing on 'the person whose object this is'. So i often felt more validated when we had 'newbies' that i had little interaction with and THEY confirmed info i gave in readings. Sometimes you might just see setting, indoor or out, or an object but you say it aloud and they say 'Oh, that's my ____room, or my new ___'. One of my most memorable readings i was holding a set of keys and what i saw/felt wasn't about anything crucial, just a lot of symbolism about spiritual growth. i had a feeling who's keys they might be but i read too much science not to want something evidential. So i thought to myself, asking the universe--"Well that's all lovely, but how about something that will make the subject recognize that this lovely message is actually for them." Immediately a well worn child's teddy bear walked across the the landscape i was seeing. My guess had been that the keys belong to a very intelligent but barely 18 yr old young man. Which did give me pause, i didn't want to embarrass. But i followed the guidelines telling every detail and symbol, then i told what i asked and what i'd seen at which the young man burst into laughter and replied: "I'd been doubting myself, my spiritual progress lately and even during the early part i wondered if you'd seen me put those keys in pile of things to be read. Bit that teddy bear. It is the only stuffed animal i kept from my childhood and it's sitting at home on pillow right now. So i guess i have to accept that the message was really for me."
That incident led to some of us talking about ways to circumvent our familiarity with each other. The Silva Instructor who hosted our meetings (free by the way) suggested we use pennies with a number taped to one side . There were about a half-dozen of us who met in a separate room during the 'social hour' Between meetings the pennies were spread out on a sunlit windowsill to 'cleanse' them, remove past vibes. Then when we met each of us would take a penny (laid numbers down and we always tried to conceal what number we picked up) and 'charge' it in our right hands trying to focus on specific issue or question. Then we'd drop them in a bowl, after they were all in we'd someone would spread them out for us to pick up to read--numbers up so we could make sure we didn't pick up our own. Then we'd go to 'level' (alpha state of mind) and get our readings. Then share what we stating the number first. i took notes The 'reader' would hold up the penny and state the number, and give the message, which i recorded. After the reader finished the 'subject', who charged it would claim it and say what in the reading they could relate to including revealing any direct question they'd had in mind. After just a couple of weeks if you looked at my notes you could see a pattern emerging--whether the question was about 'mundane' physical issues/concerns or about spiritual concerns, the reading was almost always not just 'related' to the question asked (which only the subject knew till after the reading was given) but often if you'd read the question first the reading seemed as clear and direct a response as if one person had simply asked another while both at normal Beta level of mind.
When i meditate regularly i get a great deal more of every kind of 'PSI' type experience, periodically i back off a little because it can get overwhelming. Being empath has been a huge factor in my ongoing battle with depression--Meditation helped me learn to sort things (pain, fear, anxiety) into 'mine', 'not mine' groups. i allow myself to feel compassion for whomever the unpleasant feelings belong to---but not 'owning' them makes a difference, its less intense.
This a huge subject with many subcategories tho many of them flow from the same source. They also sparked my interest in neurobiology, which when i first started following it thought everything that could go wrong with a person's mental health was strictly biochemical.
Mayim Bialik (yes the Blossom and Big Bang Theory actress) actually has the neuroscience credentials her character on BBT had, a PHD. She started doing little personal videos, which i liked--she's got a lot of common sense and compassion. But now is doing Podcasts. Mayim Bialik's Breakdown. (A play on words because they talk about mental/emotional issues which some of us call 'breadkdown', but also because she 'breaks, down' the subject of each episode, delivering scientific facts as well as her thoughts, getting input from co-host and from guests. And they have a website where they articles and links to studies: BialikBreakdown.com
i mention this because last night i watched an episode her mother guested on, and talked about some of her psychic experiences. A lot of people think it Science vs Spirituality...but the way i see it having an understanding of both can't hurt. And Ms. Bialik seems to get that despite her degree. She's a humanist first.
I get it. Same here. I believe this is my existential symbiotic relationship with the cosmos. This is my connection with what is known and plucking it out of the universal connection we all have but few acknowledge. I believe it is our responsibility to accept this relationship as the future of our existence and that of future generations depend on it. : )Sometimes I get what I refer to as "Knowings". They are just random thoughts that seem to pop in my head and come to pass. They have ranged from the trivial to the ominous. When I was about 23, I was living with a young woman who needed a tenant to help her pay the mortgage on her big house because her husband had gone to jail. My area was on the second floor of this one family house. I went downstairs one day to get the mail. As I got to the staircase, I thought "Dave is going to call me by the time I get to the top of the stairs". Dave was a musician friend who I heard from every once in awhile and hadn't heard from him in months. Sure enough, when I reached the top of the stairs the phone rang and it was him.
A serious example: I took my check for our carrying charge (co-op HOA/mortgage) to my neighbor who was acting as manager. She was a mellow, pleasant woman. We had nice conversation for about 10 minutes. As I was leaving, as soon as I touched the doorknob, a thought came to me "She's not going to be here that long". Within two weeks she died. It happened again with the ex-boyfriend of a friend of mine.
He was a tall, heavy set man. One day I was driving past the club where he hung out. I saw him about three quarters a block away walking away from the car. Though I couldn't see his face, I knew it was him from his walk. I was getting into the song on the radio but the good feeling I was getting from the music was interrupted by the thought "He's not going to be here that long"...same words in my head as with my neighbor! He also died within two weeks.
I can believe in some people having "special insight", i. e.knowing human nature, being able to read people's faces better than most, and though I'd describe them as having a gift its some way from being psychic, (liked your joke though!).I haven't decided whether I believe in psychics.
A few years ago, I called the Psychic Hotline. The lady told me, "I see a really big phone bill in your future."
Early on in the thread I mentioned my "brilliant friend" who believes the paranormal to be normal. That friend would be you.Interesting thread. Diva and i have had a great many talks about so-called supernatural/paranormal events over the years. I also do psychometry, dream work, have knowings and spirit encounters.
I am of the opinion they are NATURAL, we just don't understand how they all work. I tend to think it relates to consciousness, and the fact that consciousness is more than just a byproduct of physical brain functions and conditioning. Even neurobiological studies/experiments are beginning to show that.
Aw-w-w-w-w! Brilliant? hardly! But, You are so sweet!Early on in the thread I mentioned my "brilliant friend" who believes the paranormal to be normal. That friend would be you.
@Gaer "But IMO, the metaphysics of today will be the physics of tomorrow". I agree, especially since scientists are always updating what they thought they knew. I also believe science fiction becomes science fact. Seismologists feel "the big one" is imminent in Cali. But hopefully that won't take place in our lifetime or our children and grandchildren's.
Sorry Gaer but that was meant for Feywon. I don't doubt you are too but I don't know you nearly as well as I know her and her expertise on just about everything. I've been privy to those things for about 16 years.Aw-w-w-w-w! Brilliant? hardly! But, You are so sweet!
Thank you for the compliment, don't think i'd use the word 'expertise', i just am widely read, have a lot of experience and the ability to think rationally about things many consider irrational.Sorry Gaer but that was meant for Feywon. I don't doubt you are too but I don't know you nearly as well as I know her and her expertise on just about everything. I've been privy to those things for about 16 years.
We don't live next door to each other but we could certainly share our experiences via PMs or public posts. I love and am fascinated by this stuff too. Perhaps your dream about the earthquake in California did come true, though a 6.2, it was not too damaging. This occurred a couple of days ago.Diva, I do this stuff too and it's fascinating! I have no way to test it however!
I wish you lived next door! We would have so much in common!
The "paranormal" IS NORMAL, It just that science has not yet discovered or measured it yet.
But IMO, the metaphysics of today will be the physics of tomorrow.
My last premonition of the huge earthquake in California didn't transpire, but then again, I think time is only man-made and
doesn't exist in the absolute. It could still happen. Hope not!
"This psychic symbiosis enables humanity to find its role as the guardians of the living planet and the flowering of conscious existence in evolutionary and cosmic time scales, rather than becoming its tragic āespĆØce fataleā, (endangered species) thus resolving the existential and planetary crises, fulfilling the spiritual, eschatological (belief concerning the end of the world) and scientific quest for the meaning and purpose of intelligent life. 22. Psychic symbiosis is potentially as significant as the eucaryote (one or more cell organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within a nuclear envelope. ... ) symbiosis, because the future survival of the planetās entire living diversity is at stake and it is thereby manifesting cosmological symbiosis of the physical universe and mind at large, thus providing a means to avoid a mass extinction of biodiversity invoking the self-destruct scenario of the Fermi paradox."
