My father passed away almost 3 years ago, and about 4 months after his passing, I came back to my mum s house to live with her for a while. During one night while sleeping I had the feeling he was touching my head, never felt before someone's hand in my body whose touch connected me directly to the person who was touching me, I wasn't completely awake but I know it was not a dream either, I was in my room in a kind of state of meditation we could say, when we are in between being awake and asleep. After I felt his hand, I started hearing his voice, calling my name, as if he wanted something from me. I heard his voice repeated times but carried on sleeping afterwards, as not giving importance to it. The day after while I was having my breakfast in the kitchen my mum came in the kitchen, she looked scared and heard her speaking alone. When I asked her what happened, she said 'I heard your father s voice calling me during the night'.
