I have had two rather interesting experiences this week. But, I am not certain if they are real or part of a lucid dream.
The first one was day before yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning. This is very real, very vivid. I hear a phone ring and when I answer, a voice I recognize says, "Hi Kathy, this is Ruth. Ruth is my deceased step mother. She asked how I was, I told her. I asked how she was but I don't remember what she said. She then said your Dad really wants to talk to you. I said I had communicated with him, but I was not to do it often because he needed to concentrate on his healing and progression. She said that he really wanted to talk with me. I awoke fully at that point.
Even though it was a phone call, we were speaking face to face. Ruth used the phone to get my attention, I believe.
The second time, I know I was awake for the first part. I heard faint whispering and then it sounded like my calcium or fish oil bottles being shaken(I tested it this morning and that is the exact sound). These are in the kitchen. It sounded nothing like the dog's claws on the plastic in their crates.
This went on for a few minutes. I telepathically asked whoever it was to come in my room and move something on my dresser or my computer desk. Nothing happened, and I might have dozed. Then my clock radio came on very quietly - it is not set and if it is set, it is set to buzzer. I reached over and turned it off. Then I get a flash of an Irish harp (my spirit Emily's symbol) and hear a short bit of harp playing. I went to sleep then.
I checked the clock and it's still all off.
They both were very real, not at all dreamlike. The first experience is the only sleep thing I remember all week. I have been seeing more shadow activity lately as well. I have not tried to meditate or communicate because of the clutter in my mind. Very strange experiences. Maybe I'm opening up again!!
