Totally understood and respected, Nighthawk--thank you for sharing what you felt you could or were willing to do. This thread really helped me not feel so lost and alone and start to search more, gain education, talk to people from all walks of life, shamans, intuitives, friends, etc. Thanks to all again for opening up about things that aren't always so comfy to talk about. Such interesting accounts from all!
 
My husband and I have had several weird experiences, from the mundanely annoying to the magnificent. A few that I can recount . . .
One time all of his CDs by a certain group disappeared from his shelves. He looked everywhere. Finally, a few weeks later he found them wrapped in a plastic bag in one of his file drawers. No explanation.

When my paternal grandmother was dying, we traveled to be with her and family. We were there a little over two weeks, waiting, after hospice said she wouldn't last more than a few days. Finally hospice told everyone she might just want everyone to leave, so we did. We got a phone call as soon as we arrived home. She had passed away just about the moment we arrived in our town.

Before my husband and I were married, I lived in our house and he still lived in his house, but he'd usually come over at night after work. A few times, he saw this large animal on our front porch, which he would first think was our dog, but it wasn't, as our dog was never in the front yard on her own since there's no fence there. This animal would glide away as he approached the porch and disappear into our next-door neighbor's house. No kidding. That's exactly as he described it, and he is an extremely rational-thinking person. One night we both saw it and it did the same thing, glided off our porch into the next-door neighbor's house. One day soon after, we came home and saw it on our lawn. It was magnificent. Like a very large dog or small horse, but not a dog or a horse, glowing white, it was like an angel animal. We stood and looked at it for awhile in awe and noticed other neighbors outside looking at it, too. After awhile, for some inexplicable reason, we simply went into the house. We never saw it again and none of our neighbors nor we ever talked about it. To this day we are mystified about how we just went into the house while it was still there.
 
This kind of thing seems to have been opened up by my adult trauma (the one that caused the PTSD).
It seems like it was suddenly activated during the trauma.

At first, right after the trauma everything was shut down. Then, as I went to therapy and the emotions started to release and the memories came back, the "real" (physical world?) memories were peppered with "spirit" (out of body?) memories. Don't think I can write anymore about it.

It's something I turned off in childhood for (what seemed like) survival reasons, and that side of me coming back during the trauma is what made the whole adult trauma so traumatic. That part of me popped out of hiding where I had stuffed it for so long.

So,.....freak out and then dissociate it all.

As I heal I am slowly letting the super sensitive part of me have more time in the "real" world. And I am becoming less triggered and more able to cope when I am that part of myself.
 
Beautiful, seedling.
While I've been sensitive to things my whole life, I totally agree that when I started going through therapy and started digging up my grave of issues, my senses and intuition just sky rocketed. The tiny little gift we get from something very dark and awful. It's trying to protect us. Just have to learn how to "control the fire" as they say.
 
My older brother died 10 years ago and he sent me a song in a dream. I had heard the tune but not the words. I remembered a few words from what he told me in the dream, and I googled it. It was about dying and the ones left behind moving on. I was very emotional. My younger brother died 3 months ago and last month in the period between asleep and waking up he said," it's ok, I'm ok". He didn't sound very ok though.

My mom and I will have prophetic dreams, and my son has them too.
 
Gosh DG,
I am SO sorry to hear you guys have had so much loss. I am glad to hear that they reach out to you to try to help you find peace with this tough stuff. I find it so interesting that this can be a very family related experience and others say only one in family. So complex, but I guess I would personally expect nothing less in my personal experiences and research.
I hope that your brother who didn't sound quite okay is able to interact with you again in the future and you feel better about it.
Thanks for sharing with us. The song experience sounds amazing.
 
The song experience was amazing! My younger brother suicided by hanging himself and I found him. He was living with me trying to get mental health help. It is a huge loss, and I got the idea when he said he was ok, that it was NOT the thing to do. All three of us had PTSD, and he and I were both suicidal. Not me anymore. Nope.
 
Wow....this has been so interesting to read. I am energy sensitive. I pick up people's energy around me. Which can be hard at times,because I can take on other peoples feelings. I've had to learn how to distinguish what are my true feelings or someone else around me. Smudging can be very helpful, you can put your protected light around you and go room to room with positive thought . You tell negativity to leave the room and replace it with positive thoughts . Example: Close your eyes and picture yourself standing with a light that's around you like a light around the flame of the candle. If that is hard for you close your eyes and think of something or somebody that you love, or you're safe place. Now take that feeling and put light around it. Now picture that light around you. Light your sage or your lavender whatever one you would like to use for smudging. Go into each room from corner to corner with your sage or lavender and tell any negative energy that is in this room is no longer welcome and it must leave now. Use your hand or a feather to move the smoke around. Now connect with the positive feeling that you have from the light around you. You can put that light into the smoke and say I welcome all positive energy into my home you are welcome to protect me and ground me. And you do this to each room of your house or your car anywhere that you feel unsafe. Hope this Can help someone.
 
My kettle switched itself on, off, on again last week. Also captured a green and red light in a photo and could find no source, no reflection. I think my grandmother visited as it was two years since her passing. I also got a message from a mab when he died January to tell his wife he's ok, and still sees her.
