Love this thread, I was quite shocked to see the date it was started. I have recentley (in the last few months) come back to mn, and agree the current threads are nowhere near as thought provoking as this.
Although I think it was ? Lulumama had me hooked with a thread regarding a spirit child in her home and how to deal with it.
I was apparently quite knowing when I was young and would tell my Mum things long before they happened, most of it quite trivial. I do seem to have lost this on the whole. But that said, the week before my Grandad (very unexpectedly) died, I had an awful sad feeling that I couldn't shift and would burst out crying for no reason. I just knew something bad was going to happen.
I have had a connection with him though since he passed, I was diving in Cuba and got the Bends quite badly, I was rushed off to the hospital, but they wouldn't allow dh to come with me, by this time I could hardly speak and was petrified. But when I got to the hospital I felt as if my Grandad was there with me looking after me til dh got there. There was a chair at the side of my bed and I knew he was in it. I have only just talked to dh about this, and it happened about 10 years ago. I do want to tell my Mum as it was her Dad, she is a Reiki healer and also loves this type of conversation / subject, but I just haven't I don't know why.
Sorry to have drifted somewhat from the original subject, but hopefully I wont be told to 'get a grip' as like minded people seem to be hovering on this thread.
