The first experience I had was about 3 years after my Auntie had died, I loved her very very much, as a child I was scared of dying but could not talk to my mum about it and always wished I could talk to my Auntie as I knew there was something in her that would make me feel better but she lived far away and when we did see her all the family was there and there was not really time for a conversation about it, she died and I grieved for a long time for her. Anyway about a few years later I was working in an office as a office JR but I was suffering from mild depression at the time, that day I snuck off to the bathroom at work and sat on the toilet, and I had a thought a comforting on that if my Auntie was in heaven she would be looking after all the children there as this happened the circular mirror on the wall swung 3 times and just stopped, I couldn't believe it, I felt like this was a sign from her, not to worry and that she was in heaven even though leading up to that point I had lost all faith, I did get a bit freaked out as I started contemplating eternity etc but that is just how my mind works and it does give me comfort to know she is ok,  

also around that time in days after I kept hearing the song Cher-Do you believe in life after love but when I was little I thought the lyrics were do you believe in life after life, I also took this as a sign.  

My second experience was when I was about 19, so about 5 years after her death, I have never dreamt about my Auntie since she died, apart from this one night, I dreamt I was going to the hospital for a breast exam but somehow I knew I had breast cancer and my mum was there but it was I could feel my aunts presence completely and she was warning me I would get breast cancer if I did not quit smoking. I really felt it was her I have never dreamt about her since.

I had an OBE and I was shot through a tunnel well it was like a tunnel it is hard to describe and there was golden light at the end, I was shot out and I was in this beautiful golden room, to my right I could see a brightly lit city it was so bright it is hard to explain, around the room I was in smooth shapes were moving in and out of existence and there were beautiful patterns on the walls and floor in red and gold, I felt not scared of death at all, I had no sense of time either it was like real but in one moment, I was blissful also, I had the feeling to laugh as I felt so free, I only got scared when I really thought I was dead and couldn't get back to my body, but as I thought about my body I slowly came back down but I felt elated and giggly, I will never forget this experience
