ADCRF is part of a triad of websites that is designed to collect information on all aspects of consciousness.  The main website is www.nderf.org which studies near-death experiences (NDE).  The other website is www.oberf.org and studies all other aspects of consciousness that are
                          not an NDE or ADC.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Soul to Soulmate comes at a time when the world desperately needs more love.  This book tells you how to find your soulmate or if you already have a mate, this book tells you how to transform the relationship into one of ultimate love and respect.  As with all relationships, nothing is simple.  There are three portions in the book to understand the basis of human consciousness and behavior, the psychology of relationships and love, and then how to find your soulmate.  The chapter that I was most excited about was the study of soulmates.  In the beginning, I didn’t put a lot of credence to the “love at first sight” and thought it was really “lust at first sight.”  Just as research on this generally accepted concept proved me wrong – there are many other discoveries waiting for you to learn in Soul to Soulmates!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Evidence of The Afterlife

NEWS ALERT: Evidence of the Afterlife became a New York Times bestseller eight days after its release!  There are only 16 books on the bestseller list.  This is the book that is already changing the world! 

Order your copy today!

Dr. Jeffrey Long, Jody Long, and Paul Perry have teamed up to write this blockbuster book that became an instant Amazon bestseller after Dr. Long's appearance on NBC's Today Show.  You can see Dr. Long's interview by clicking here.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is by far the largest scientific study of NDE ever presented, and is based on researching over 1300 NDEs shared with NDERF. This book is scientific in content, yet easy and a delight to read.  The people whose stories are presented span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their experiences are as awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable.  Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation—that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is so compelling that it will either validate your existing knowledge or it will heartily challenge your current belief system with nine lines of irrefutable evidence of the afterlife.  There are no explanations, medical or otherwise, that one can reasonably conclude after reading this book except that there is an afterlife!

A Swan in Heaven: Conversations Between Two Worlds,” by Terri Daniel

RESEARCH:

 “The Exclusive, Universal, and Multiple Experiences of ADC” By James A. Houck, Ph.D. 10/09/04  “Please don’t think I’m crazy, but…” is how most conversations typically begin around the subject of After Death Communication (ADC).  Most of the research in this area has been done from a qualitative (e.g., structured interviews) approach, which is an excellent way for people to begin telling their stories and comparing similar experiences with other bereft people.  Yet, are there others ways to statistically measure the frequency and uniqueness of such experiences?  In other words, are ADC’s random or purposeful to specific types of populations or bereavement groups? 
INTERESTING FAQ:

We analyzed 238 contributions to our ADC website form exploring the relationship between the deceased and the person reporting the ADC. We found that 46 (19%)of the contacts occurred within 24 hours or less. Interestingly, 35 (76%) of the 46 contacts occurred between blood relatives. Only 5 (14%) occurred between significant others. 
A BIG THANKS goes out to those who submitted their experiences on the website so that we can gain important insights into the ADC phenomena!

 


 
IMPORTANT FAQ:

COLLEEN S:  So does the "research" show that other people have these dreams?  What other thoughts do you have on these death dream scenarios?

JODY:  I, personally, think that being in an altered state of consciousness (the dream) makes it easier for loved ones who have passed to communicate with us on earth.  Far from being non-evidential, I would argue to the contrary.  The way that we process our reality is that before our subconscious will alert our conscious mind, the input must pass a threshold test.  If it is important then the subconscious will allow the input to move into our rational, or conscious level of mind.  In the dream state, this threshold may well be less since we do not have the waking overload of input from the 5 senses.  Therefore, communication that may normally be able to occur in a dream or drowsy state, would reach us easier than in the waking state of consciousness.

 

 

BELOVED PETS:  Some of you may have clients, friends, or colleagues who have lost a dog, cat, horse, bird, or other animal companion--or who are facing end of life choices for a pet.  Some of you may know such experiences first-hand.  The resources include free phone hot lines; bulletin boards; discussion groups; email support lists; help with decisions about euthanasia; information about creating a pet hospice at home; recommended readings; information for adults, children, and families who are losing or have lost a pet; information for veterinarians; ways to memorialize a pet; FAQs; peer support; online articles (e.g., Pet Loss Myths," "Coping with Pet Loss," "If Your Pet Has a Terminal Disease");  and and so on.

Here are our newest experiences: 

Shannon O Experience 8/10/10 When I went to bed, after the visitation, I sobbed/cried myself to sleep. I was  inconsolable. After my alarm went off, I was laying there "resting just a little longer" Then all of a sudden, Im in this hallway and I'm walking with Gramps. I notice that he's having a very difficult time walking.  As we continue walking, I notice that with every step he takes is easier. I also am noticing that with every step I take, my legs are getting heavier and heavier. At this point in time Gramps lets go of my hand and continues towards the light. Wait, I hollered, you can't leave me. He turned, looked at me and said "you're gonna be just fine Honey but you can come and I gotta go. He turned back away from me and continued walking towards the light. I can see he's walking as fast as he can manage. I notice that he's excited.
ADC Dream of Grandfather.

  Edwina M Experience 8/10/10 I was walking along a woodsy one lane road with grass growing in the middle and along the sides of the road.  There were trees overhanging on both sides.  As I crested a small rise in the road, I saw Rachel walking up the other side of the hill towards me, holding the hand of a man.  In the dream I knew I was dreaming, and that Rachel was dead. She was about 11 or 12 years old, and was wearing the  blue dress I had bought her for her Bat Mitzvah.  I ran to her as fast as I could, calling out how much I loved her and missed her.  I enveloped her in a huge hug which she welcomed, as she had not in her recent adult years.
ADC Dream from daughter who died of suicide.

  Leslie A Experience 8/10/10 The first experience I had with him after his death occurred about a week after his death.  My parents were visiting and were in the living room.  I left the room and walked into the kitchen to make a call to someone about the death of my son.  I picked up the phone and was interrupted by this wonderfully joyous feeling.   I sensed immediately that this was the spirit of my son.  I had a feeling that he was "saying" to me, "HI, MOM!!!!", and he was letting me know he was so very happy to be released from his body which was for him a prison.  I felt a feeling that he was so happy --that now he was "jumping up and down" with happiness and joy.  I felt also a strong sense of his love for me.
ADC from deceased four year old son who died of birth defects.

  Debra M Experience 8/10/10 This experience was an aid to my healing, although I found myself wanting more and at times begging GOD to give me more signs.  I got them!  Have heard Rachel's voice telling me to Stay Strong, Get the family Ready, that she would be coming to get us all soon???  Seen her in dreams where there was always a spiritual or Life message attached.  Feel her presence by the tingly, warm, loving presence of her.  Her friends have also dreamt vividly of Rachel.  I also had a dream where I was dancing with Tony (the 15 year old boy who was also killed in the accident).  She is often accompanied by my father.  A few months after her passing, three female friends experienced the same dream in which Rachel appeared to them at a younger age (10 to 12).  One of those lady friends had just lost her adult son in a tragic accident, and knew that she had come as a messenger to let her know that her son was well.
Multiple ADCs from deceased daughter.

Christine D Experiences 8/8/10 My mother appeared to me in my dream and she said simply “I am going to help you get a house".  I argued with her "Mother that is RIDICULOUS!  First of all my credit is bad, secondly you are dead--how can you even help me!" She repeated calmly "I am going to help you get a house" then I woke up…   Two days before the foreclosure, I got the money, made the down payment and now I am literally living in the "house of my dreams". Just amazing.  The first day I moved in I screamed out "Thank you mom and dad!!!!!" 
Remarkable series of dreams where deceased parents told her they would help her get a house.

Kimberly W Experience 1753 8/8/10  Suddenly a familiar email address popped up.  It was Liz’s high school French teacher.  Jan had been Liz’s favorite teacher, and we had kept in touch after her death.   I had shared my news about the USA TODAY article with her, and I assumed that was what her email to me was about.  Much to my surprise it wasn’t about the article at all.  Kim, she said, you will just treasure this.  I was in my classroom yesterday, cleaning out my files, getting ready for a new school year.  A lone file folder fell on the floor.  I reached down and picked it up and on the outside I read  “Liz W Essay.”  I opened it up and discovered an assignment I had given out over four years ago.  The assignment was to write a letter to one of your parents, in French, telling them what they represent in your life.  Kim, this is a letter Liz wrote to you!
ADC from deceased daughter.

Sarah O Experience 8/8/10  In the dream, I was in my parents' kitchen, a regular hang-out while Mom was still alive. Suddenly, I realized my mom was standing near the counter. When she turned around to face me, she did not look at all like I remembered her in the last years of her life. She was at least 20 years younger, thinner, and just youthful… The dream was nothing like a dream. It did not have that surreal feel to it. There was no "dream" storyline. It just did not feel like a dream. I've never had telepathic communication in a dream, I don't typically dream of people looking nothing like how I remember them, and they rarely have such an overwhelming emotional reaction. I awoke just knowing I had a genuine visit from her.
ADC Dream from deceased mother.

Irma C Experience 8/8/10  I suddenly heard my mother's voice as loud and clearly as if she were standing beside me. She was laughing. "You won't believe it!" she said to me. Just those 4 words. I was ecstatic. I knew she had had a wonderful experience and she was amazed by it. I could hear in her voice how relieved and happy she was. She was safe, she was whole, she had made a successful transition. The entire experience lasted only a second but it filled my senses in every way. I felt my mother and I heard her. I had knowledge of her in the after life. She was no longer blind or crippled. She was younger too! I did not see her with my eyes, but in my mind. Her hair was dark and to me she looked as she did 30 years ago. She was perhaps in her 50's.
ADC from deceased mother.

Susan F Experience 8/8/10 I was physically and emotionally exhausted, working two jobs and raising two beautiful daughters alone, to say my days were very full and that I was extremely busy doesn't even begin to describe my life at that time. That being said, at the time of this occurrence I was 100% certain that it was a real event happening apart from my imagination, and that I hadn't fallen asleep. My father appeared in my living room, it WAS him, he looked, and sounded like him he had both arms though which for some reason seemed normal to me even though he had lost his left arm just below the shoulder many many years before I was born.  He spoke to me saying that everything would be all right, not to worry, and that I would see him again. i remember feeling peace, and feeling like i wasn't exhausted anymore.
ADC from deceased father, probably at time of death.

Mike Experience 8/8/10  After work sitting on the couch, I heard Cathy in the bedroom cough, not Cathy of course, she was dead, but it sounded like it, the dog jumped first!! hair on my neck and arms stood on end and chills ran through me like ice... I got up and walked to our room, stood in the door way and saw my wife standing across the room, in front of the TV, in her favorite church dress, arms down, eyes blue, hair done, smiling at me. LOOKING RIGHT AT ME!! she smiled shook her head "yes". I blinked and she was gone.
ADC from deceased wife.

Juice Experience 8/8/10 8/8/10 I went to sleep that night in January and I awoke when I was tapped by someone.  When I opened my eyes, it was Grandmother's sister.  I asked what she was doing there if she live in the Virgin Islands and she did not talk but gestured me to follow her.  I looked over and saw my roommate sleeping and as I followed her we went through the door without opening it. On the other side normally would have been my dorm lobby, but we were in a blue room and she was there on a hospital bed dead.  Two of her children were there and crying.  One of them then removed the ring from her mother's ring finger I was terrified and I remember that the place said Pavia Hospital.
Shared death experience.  Observation of his deceased Aunt in hospital.  Remarkable verification of his OBE observations.

Bill G Experiences 8/7/10 In 1989 my mother was dying from intestinal  cancer. We shared our birthday and it was obvious she would not live another 3 weeks until our birthday. I told her she could make it rain on our birthday to let me know she was ok on the other side. She was excited and told my father what I had told her. We lived in the San Francisco Bay Area which was in a state of drought and she died on St Patrick’s Day exactly two weeks before our birthday. That day there was a single cloud in the sky in the shape of a sick person which I felt was a sign. I had spent the next two weeks in the Santa Cruz Mountains and it rain a little every day for the two weeks and stopped after our birthday. Then every year for the next 11 years it rained where ever I was on our birthday.
Weather-related ADCs from family members.

Leah Experience 1739 7/25/10  I sat up in bed, and there was Karen sitting on the end of my bed, wearing the same pink dress she had been buried in.  I told her how glad I was to see her, that I missed her so much, and had so much I wanted to tell her about what had been going on in my life.  Her exact reply was, "You don't have to tell me, I already know, and I will always know.  But, you need to stop grieving for me.  As long as you grieve for me, I can't move on.  I'm fine, stop worrying".  Then she disappeared.
ADC at age 17 from deceased friend.

Karen Experience 6/28/10  I looked at him puzzled.... he than said there's someone here u know Karen , there's a lot of people here that you know ......then I asked Lee if he'd seen his parents , he said yes .. then I asked if he'd seen his brother who was a saxophone player he always referred to as saxophone slim.. he look at me very hard  and said no. then I asked him if he  talked to God ? he said yes many times .. he is wonderful .. he had a big smile on his face as he spoke of God 's name ....and laughed.
ADC with best friend.

Nancy D Experience 6/20/10 I was walking down a grocery store aisle and this was my first time out in public after my husband died.  We lived in a very small town where everyone knows everyone.  My husband was quite prominent, being a curator in the Maritime Museum, which was very popular in the state.  I was feeling anxious about meeting someone and was afraid that I would just fall apart of "lose it" if/when I met someone.  I heard in my right ear very distinctly Geoff's voice saying, "You'll be all right, Goat."  Goat or Nannygoat was Geoff's pet name for me.  It had been months since I had last heard Geoff's voice.  The cancer had affected his ability to speak six months before he died!
ADC from deceased husband.

Janet O Experience 6/20/10 When I got out of the tub, there was steam on the mirror.  The first night, I noticed what looked like words.  There was the word Hi! and then mine and my husband's names:  Janet & Frank.  Down below about a foot, but still on the mirror was written the following:  L U all,  Sue.  If came to mind that L U meant love you. 
ADC from sister-in-law.

Cheryl T Experience 6/20/10 The only thing I couldn't figure out at first was why he would make a knocking sound to communicate with me.  Then I remembered that before Babe started having spinal problems, he always had what I called "a case of Chronic Happy Tail".  Babe would happily swing his tail back and forth all the time, thumping it on anything and everything around him.  It was something we would always laugh about.  I think the knocking sound was Babe thumping his tail again.  I think Babe was saying to me "Look mom, I can thump my tail again, and I'm happy".
ADC from deceased pet dog.

Shirley D Experience 6/20/10 I felt drowsy in the afternoon and decided to attempt to take a nap. I headed up to bed with my two golden retrievers who were aside from me the light of my husband's life, and we all jumped up on the bed and the dogs settled in at my feet. I quickly felt myself falling asleep, but I then found myself or an aspect of myself with the dogs standing in our backyard which was in clear daylight all looking up at the sky. I can remember saying to my husband please show me where you live now. No sooner did these words come out I was flying upwards and looked back and the dogs were behind me. We entered this misty wooded area not unlike places I have seen and a path was ahead of us and I could see and smell salt water in the distance. Although this mist clouded the features of my husband, I saw him further up the path walking toward us. The dogs who were with him when he died rushed towards him in a very excited state and I watched them all interact and then they all walked toward me.
ADC from husband.

Jane S Experience 6/20/10 I soon realized that it was Kyle's presence and  I apologized for not recognizing him.. and told him (MENTALLY)  I had been frightened,, he said he was sorry that I did not recognize him and then seemed to move farther and farther away . there seemed to be someone with him but I did not detect a presence...but sensed that this other presence was hurrying him to leave.. Kyle told me "said", ''I HAVE TO GO NOW MOM'   and I felt an EXTREME  sense of SORROW,,,,, COMING FROM KYLE  ... it was not coming from me...  that seemed very clear. THEN,  there was a Very Bright Light,, a Yellow / Green Flash  of the most Vivid Nature.. unlike anything I had ever seen or felt before. Similar , but not the same, as the bright green/yellow flash sometimes seen at sunset at the horizon...BUT, 10 TIMES MORE VIVID.. 
ADC from deceased son.

Phyllis M Experience 6/20/10 My experience was progressive.  Initially I heard sounds in the attic, then through out the house at night, mostly. I saw Laurie soon after during the night. She had an electrical sparking about her head which increased when she realized I was frightened. She suddenly disappeared. I later heard sobbing coming from the attic. The next night I felt soft touching and kisses on my face. I knew that it was Laurie. When I was able to open my eyes, I could not stop smiling.  I had never felt so loved in my life.
Multiple ADCs from daughter shared by college professor.

Rhonda H Experiences 6/20/10 I adopted my cat from a shelter as a kitten. He had been abused and had sustained nerve damage. The bond I had with this pet was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I do not have children and the loss of this cat was like the loss of a child to me. When I had to put him to sleep 2 months ago at age 11 1/2, the grieving was probably the most intense I had ever experienced. I am an attorney and consider myself quite logical and very much a skeptic, but the 4 dream visitation experiences I have experienced since his death have caused me to believe in spirituality.
ADCs from deceased pet cat shared by an attorney.

Sonia Experience 6/20/10 My dad and I went to see my mother at a private palliative care centre (12 or so rooms) shortly after lunch time. My sister had been there since around 9am. My dad kissed my mom and went to sit down next to her. My sister was sitting in front of my mother's bed. I approached my mother's bed and smelled my paternal grand-mother. I knew right away that my grand-mother was with us… My sister was silent and looked serious. I thought she thought I was crazy too so I insisted that she get up and smell too. She then said she did not need to do so as she smelled the same scent when she arrived that morning. She knew our paternal grand-mother was present in the room.
ADC from Grandmother has Mother was dying.

Darlene B Experience 6/20/10  So, my mother told me to look up, and I am not one who has ever seen anything but I do believe. I looked up and it is quit hard to explain but there was a fog not white but greyish, charcoal in color…..you could feel the heaviness when your hand touched it. Then there were at least 20 or more black like specs, small almost looked like it was a dustball. That is what I thought until it went straight toward my head, I moved back watched it go through my hand and then it shot back up to the ceiling. They were all moving around , it was so surreal and 3-d looking. I know I saw this and was perplexed by the color???? Also when the body was removed they where gone , I have not seen them since.
ADC immediately following death of Grandmother.
