First I will describe the experience with my Grandfather: 

In Feb 2005,  we admitted him to the VA hospital, as he had complained of shortness of breath, the inability to pass water through his kidneys, etc.  Classic signs of advanced CHF, which we knew he had a weak heart, and was on borrowed time on meds.  

In the hospital, in the ICU he was unable to speak much of the time, or just a whisper.  Yet, I was able to communicate with him telekinetically.  He knew my thoughts and I his.  Unfortunately, at that time of my life I had other external pressures which robbed me of more time to spend with him in the hospital.  

One of the things, he whispered to me when I left one day was ' I love you',  At the time it was so faint that I could not barely hear him, or make out what he said, and I kept asking him what he had said to confirm it.   

To make a long story short,  My Grandfather passed away in the hospital, with all his grandchildren, son and daughter at his side,  we watch him gasp his last breath.  But, knew he was already in the great beyond.  

My Grandfather lived at my Mothers house, and I spent a lot of time over there before and after he passed away.  One evening while I was in his room,  I felt a presence, and then followed by what I might describe as an aura or spiritual mist.   It was floating around the room, and going here and there,  I knew it was my Grandfather's spirit, this was very soon after the time of his passing.  

On another occasion,  I was lying down in his room, going to sleep for the night, when I heard him snoring.  The snoring was his familiar snoring, and it was clear as day the sound of his snoring,  it emanated from the exact place were he slept in the room.  (I had rearranged the furniture so the bed was in a different place in the room now.)  

I attribute both of these events to my Grandfather not being aware of his passing at the time.  What you have to understand is that my Grandfather was an extremely strong willed person, and conscious, and strong physically.  I knew his strong hand and grip, and it was so, even in the ICU.  But, the one day I had to leave my poor grandfather unattended the doctors drugged him with benzodiazpams and morphine, and such was his state when I returned, I really don't want to get into more details of my understanding of his medical condition and the criminal negligence of his doctors involved, but by the time he was out of the ICU, and had his body mass had deteriorated from dialysis, and the doctors then negligently put him back on dangerous digoxin without monitoring his levels or adjusting the dose for renal failure/ weakness, they put him right back into and ICU worthy state.  My family had to make the decision to let him pass away, rather than put him through another painful ICU process which his skeleton like figure likely wouldn't have survived. Anyway I digress.  My point though was that my Grandfather was not conscious of his passing at the time.  

Now for my Grandmothers Story: 

My Grandmother passed away suddenly in 1999, without warning,  suddenly a beacon of light in our family was out, and we were all so shocked.  Over the past 10 years, I have only had a few dreams about her,  but it was always this same, recurring dream:  (I will share)    The dream was that my Grandmother was still alive and living her life,  yet she faked her death, and went to start a new life somewhere else with others.  "How could you have done this to us ! "  Was my response.  It was the same exact dream every time, and the only dream I had regarding my Grandmother.  It did not really involve an interaction with her, but more it was like a vague observation. 

I could not comprehend this dream at the time,  or the other times I had the same exact dream.   Some years later, I was talking with my sister, and mentioned this recurring dream I had had.    She said  "  Oh MY GOD !!!! "      "  I HAVE HAD THAT SAME EXACT DREAM !!! " 

She went on to describe conversations she had with my Grandmother, that of which when pressed for more information, she broke down and cried (My Grandmother and Sister had been on bad terms at the time of her death, and Im sure that's what it was about.)   My sister had a number of these visits and conversations with my dearly departed grandmother over a course of time, including the same exact dream I had had.  Until one night, she said that my Grandmother seemed hurried, and told her she would have to go now, otherwise bad things would happen, or something of that sort.   After that,  she had no further contact with my Grandmother in her dreams.   However, strange things began to happened in her house.   She reported that there was a ghost in the house.   She could hear it in the hall way at night,  if she left the bedroom door open it would come in,  one night she awoke to a hideous  gypsy/ witchy looking woman standing right over her with he hands out around her head like she was trying to bewitch her (this was all confirmed by her fianc which was with her at the time.)   She also reported the ghost liked oldies channel, because every time she would shower with the radio on, the ghost would change the station to the oldies channel.  I told her to tell the ghost it was not welcome in the house and get rid of it.  She was afraid at first to do this, but finally one day after it changed the station oldies channel, she scolded the ghost, told it that it was scaring her son, and that it was no welcome in her house.   She never heard from it again. 

I also asked her if I she had had a dream about Grandpa.  She said, yes, not at first after he passed, but eventually he was there with Grandma.  I asked her what he had said to her....   Nothing of course.....  That was my Grandfather Character strong silent type.   Grandma did most of the talking.  In life, as in afterlife.  But, I was relieved to know Grandpa was with Grandma.  

Another time after having all these conversations with my sister,  one night I came home late from work and parked my car out on the street.   That night I had a dream that I was in my Grandmother and Grandfathers condominium.  Only this Condominium was much higher that that which they owned in life.  I looked out there back window from the Condominiuum, and I saw my car was parked crooked.  That was the gist of that dream.   But, when I went to go to work the next day, I noticed that I had parked my car crooked on the street,  it was not something I noticed in the darkness the previous night.  I took this to mean that Grandma and Grandpa were looking over me from there high rise condo high in heaven !

Was this experience difficult to express in words?  No

At first I did not understand the dream, but over time, and by talking with my Sister, it is perfectly clear now.

Did you hear the deceased or hear something associated with the deceased?          Yes

            Describe what you heard, how clearly you heard it and what was communicated:    As described,  I felt my Grandfather presence on occasion, and heard what was his distinct snoring in his room in the exact place he would have slept, at the time he would have regularly slept.    

The experience with my Grandmother was in the dream state, but repeated, and confirmed also my sister who had the same exact dream.

            Did the voice or sound seem to originate externally or outside of you, inside you, or did you not hear a voice or sound, but had a sense of knowing what was communicated?  The case in hearing my Grandfathers snoring was external,  I could hear his snoring coming from the exact place in the room he would have slept, and the exact time too.   My grandfather was pretty regular with his sleep schedules of to bed, and to rise.    

Another incident was when I heard him whisper to me " I love you "  the day after he passed, and I spent all day in bed grieving.  (What a terrible burden I bore knowing the truth of his circumstances, and that he was medicinally murdered by negligent doctors.)

            If you heard a voice or sound, was it similar or dissimilar from the voice or sound the deceased made when they were alive?           The Same.

            Is there any possibility what you heard was from any other source present in the surroundings at the time of your experience?           No.

            Was there any possible impairment to your hearing at the time of the experience?   No.

Did you feel a touch or experience any physical contact from the deceased?            No  I do not recall any physical touch.

Did you see the deceased?         Yes

In my dream I saw my Grandmother, and Grandfather.  However, the presence I felt in his room, and partially saw has just an aura, it was not manifest has was his physical form in life, but was the misty spirit bouncing around the room.  Its hard to explain.  How do you explain what you experience with your sixth sense, in one of the 5 perception senses ?   I can describe it as kind of a misty convection current.  You know a convection current, it like the way you see through a raising jet of hot air.

            How clearly did the deceased appear?            Very Clear in my dream.   Described above also for the other.

            How much of the deceased did you see?       The question is irrelevant.  The dream it was Grandma and Grandpa, in the physical it is described above.

            Did the deceased appear or not appear to be the age at which they died?       Interesting question.  For my own dream about my Grandmother, I would say that around the age she died, as that also makes sense to me, since that would be my most recognizable recognition of her.

            How healthy did the deceased appear to be?            Healthy and good spirit.

            Is there any possibility what you saw was from any other source present in the surroundings at the time of your experience?           No.

Did you smell a distinct smell, scent, fragrance or odor associated with the deceased?      Uncertain

            What smell, scent, fragrance or odor did you smell?           I'd have to say no, not that I recall. I would have recalled that too if it had been so.

Was the beginning and end of the experience gradual or more sudden?         n/a

Could you sense the emotions or mood of the deceased?           Uncertain  Is this still the smell question ?

Did the deceased give you information you did not previously know?  In retrospect I will say YES !!!    At the time of these dreams, I could not make sense of them:   (My Grandmother was still alive, and faked her death, to go start a new life with others !!)   I was hard to comprehend.   Even stranger the dream was recurring, once in a blue moon, over several years.  Then it started to come together, especially after my sister was wowed by having had the same exact dream !! 

Today, I conclude that the message from all of these, is that my Grandmother and Grandfather are in the great beyond watching over us,  but also the message is also clear too......   The message that we will all be reincarnated to begin new lives again as well....     One of the other dreams I have is were I bumped into my Grandfather, at the basement door, of an old house we lived in, as I explored it through the astroplane of sleep,  my Grandfather told me that he is waiting for my Mother.   How much time passes before my Grandparents might reincarnate if they desire to do so and leave Nirvana/ Eden again, I would speculate would be after perhaps we are all reunited again in the afterlife, given there love for us.     

There have been documented cases of kids that recall there past lives and have reincarnated in the same lifetime as relatives, and even met those relatives again.   Check YouTube for more info.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience?           Experience was definitely real

            Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:           I'd like to touch upon your questions above, since it is difficult to define with one word.   Let me put things into perspective,  when I was a child and brought up, I was not forced to learn or believe in God, or Christianity, or Catholicism, though I had some exposure to readings from the book of the Bible, but no regular church on Sunday or forced feedings.  I viewed God, as Ghost,  'I will believe in it, when one or the other shows itself to me.'   At a younger age, I viewed that man created God to explain things, and in high school I recognized that organized religion was used to control the sheeple.  However, through karmic laws, life experiences, and other worldly experiences, as well as over a lifetime of education and understanding of the blue prints of the divine creator (E.g.. the blue prints of quantum physics, the blue print of physics,  the blue print of astrology), we see that all laws and all blue prints of creation, and we are certain.  There is no doubt.   God bless Dr. Long and the work he is doing here.

            Was the experience dream like in any way?   Yes

Yes it was as dream for my Grandmother.   The experience for my Grandfather was fully wake and conscious, and out of no were.

Describe in detail your feelings/emotions during the experience:           Its hard to draw and accurate reflection on that at the moment.  I can only say that I felt the presence of my Grandfather, and sensed his aura, as I have tried to explain it in above responses.

Was there any emotional healing in any way following the experience?           Yes

Yes,  I feel that there was !   Most definitely,   the experience of the dream of my Grandmother shared by myself and my sister, and its recurring theme, and that fact that my sister was able to reconcile her differences with my departed grandmother has been reassuring to me, and of course I am sure it was very healing to my sister as well.   Especially, after we both got to talk about it, and put 2 and 2 together.    It all adds up.

What was the best and worst part of your experience?      At first, it didn't make sense.....   But, now the enlightenment has been the best part !

Has your life changed specifically as a result of your experience?         Yes                 Describe:      Life is ever evolving !  How can it not.   Our souls have manifest into physical reality in the human experience to learn lessons.  We are always evolving and learning.  Until we reach Nirvana,  the beatitude the transcends the desire to reincarnate and remain in Eden.

What other attitudes and beliefs about your experience do you currently have?                      
             
Other belief   
We all have a sixth sense,  and we are all connected to the same source.  The 4th and the 5th dimensions of reality.  Everything that is physical matter is merely a vibration of energy, as defined in quantum physics.  If you explore the possibilities of creation, which we are the co-creators with the divine source, you can expect that all things are possible.   Even Alchemy is possible.   Can I take this Hydrogen and turn it to gold !?   Maybe not I alone, but God can !!   God is doing it right now in the furnace of our sun at one zillion degrees, and the weight of the entire solar system upon it.          

Did you have any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?   Yes     Certainly,  this has been an eye opening and learning experience, both personally, spiritually, and from a standpoint of understanding Universal Truths.

Did the experience give you any spiritual understandings such as life, death, afterlife, God, etc.?            Yes     Read response to other questions above.

Death Compacts are when two or more living people promise among themselves that whoever dies first will try to contact the other(s).  Have you ever made such a compact?        No

It was not apart of any plan.  As I have stated,  I have gone from a child, and sending out my intent, that if there is a God, and if Ghost does exist,  then I will believe in them when they have shown themselves to me. 

.... and through life Karmic events, life experience, and huge Sagittarian search for the Truth.  Yes the Universal Truths are becoming clearer and clearer.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Yes I doesn't get any more confirmation, than having the same recurring dream over and over, and then finding out your own sister had the same exact dream and experience !

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Well, with my Grandfather,  It did not surprise me,  I felt enlightened.  You have to understand that I have been tuned into my physic instincts, and have developed them over time.

Was the experience witnessed or experienced by others?           Yes

My sister had the same exact dream that I had been having regarding my deceased Grandmother.  The dream was recurring to me from time to time over several years.

Did you have a sense of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?    Yes

As described, my journey is manifesting itself as an ever greater a wider understanding of the Universal truths,  the understanding of the blue prints of the divine creator.  I highly recommend you view  Ian Xel Lungolds understanding and video on YouTube of the Mayan Calendar of Creation.  Do you understand Astrology, and its blue prints?  God has given man consciousness and intelligence to understand all blue prints and to be co-creators.  Have you read Edgar Cayce interpretations of the book of Revelations ?   Have you delved into the depths of the NDE experience ?

Did you become aware of future events?       Yes

Perhaps, yes, the message is clear !!    I do have a precognitive ability.  I have noticed in the past 5 years, that I usually have at least one precognitive dream per night,  usually it about the next waking days events.  It can be as simple as seeing the front page of the news paper, and then walking past it, as saying, oh yea, I saw that coming.   Or it can be as complex as walking into a situation with a complete feeling of De Ja Vu.  De Ja Vu is not common for me though, since I consciously will remember the significant dream, but when it is not remembered an in the subconscious that can result in De Ja Vu.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience that you did not have prior to the experience?         No

I was in tune with my physic instincts prior to the events.  But, again, I can define that I am more in tune, more in control, and more confident that ever, after the experience, and the messages meanings.

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?     Uncertain

I am an extremely conscious person,  I retain most memories of this lifetime. 

To answer the question,  I believe that the conscious lays in a plane separate from physical manifest, in the magnetic field, the aura, the astral plane.   

I have no recollection of previous lifetimes, but would like to explore through hypnosis and mediation, and perhaps find some clues that might be verifiable if that is possible.

Did you meet or see any other beings other than the deceased?       No


Did you see a light?           Uncertain

not really applicable, this was not an NDE or out of body experience.  The aura as described of my Grandfathers spirit in his room, did not emit light, as I stated, it is hard to describe a 6th sense perception with one of the 5 senses,  but if I had to describe it's sight, it was a kind of 'convection current' like distortion.

Did any part of your experience seem to occur in a place other than the location described above?            Yes

Yes, if I consider all the other time were my deceased grandparents, and even a friend who died in the Iraq war, were present and watching over me.

Have you shared this experience with others?        

Yes     My sister was Wowed  !!  "OH MY GOD,  I HAD THAT SAME EXACT DREAM !! "

Have you shared this experience formally or informally with any other researcher or web site?   No

 Is there anything else you would like to add regarding your experience?       If you want more information, or would like to verify the story, feel free to contact me via email.

Were there any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience?            No

Was not on any drugs or meds. or drinks.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No 

Not really,  Im a very conscious person.

Did you ever in your life have a near-death experience, out of body experience or other spiritual event?           Yes 

Yes,  I described my NDE and out of body experience, but your 'Clear Field' button erased 3.5 hours of mediation and reflection on a child hood NDE.   

As a child, I can remember floating on the astral plane, around my house, and occasionally outside.....  What a thrill it was to be a kid !!

Did the questions asked and information you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?               Yes

Even with plenty of redundancy to give plenty of opportunity to explain and re-explain. 

Please offer any suggestions you may have to improve this questionnaire.    I think its a good question are, if I had something more to add, I would just add it.   Thanks.
