Apologies if this is in the wrong forum I debate over where this should go as it covers a couple of areas!

My son is nine years old and has just recently begun talking about something that happened to him when he was about 3 or 4. He has an amazing memory and can go back even further than this too (he always fascinates me and can remember things from when he was months old!!).

Anyway, this one memory he recalled which I had forgotton was a time when I had a friend called Stefanie staying over night, she arrived very late and left VERY early in the morning and he never saw her as he was asleep in his bed the whole time. She slept downstairs and never went upstairs near his room.

I got up with Stef the next morning and made sure she got up and out of the house ok. About two hours later my son wakes up and tumbles down the stairs. The first thing he asked was "where is Stef?", I asked him why he asked and he said something along on the lines of she was here sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and looking in a mirror putting stuff on her face (her make up). I remember being absolutely astounded because he also pointed to the exact spot where she had been sitting just two hours before when he was tucked up in bed. She HAD been drinking coffee and using a compact mirror to put her make up on!

I told him that Stef had gone home now and had to be somewhere first thing and that yes she was in the house before. I asked him how he knew she was here and he said..I dunno, I saw her sitting there. I remember (now) asking him if he had come downstairs..nope he replied I have been in bed. I shrugged it off thinking that perhaps he was "just dreaming".

Now a few years on and with him reminding me of this, he is actually questioning me about what happened and he himself is saying "wasn't it weird mummy that I knew that Stef was there even though I had been asleep". He wanted to know how he could have known this so I tried to explain that sometimes when we sleep we can astral project, but it was a bit lost on him being a young-ish 9 year old!

When he was younger I also got the impression that he "saw" things in his room, his nightmares were always of people trying to talk to him and when I would go in his room he would be looking around at something else as if there was something else in the room. He also remembers this, but can't recall what it was, just remembers "talking to people".

He says it doesn't happen now, and I do wish that I had worked with him in some way.. My husband at the time was really freaked out by this and even though he knew my interest in the subject he wouldn't let me "fill his head" with rubbish.

But he is now asking about these things, and I would like to help him. His memory is so good that perhaps I can bring it back and help him discover any gifts that he has been given.

If anyone could help me out I would very much appreciate. How exactly do you explain to a 9 year old what astral projection is. I have always told him that we have a soul and that when we die, the soul leaves the body, so he is not completely clueless to my way of thinking;-) Also, do you think that what he remembers is in fact astral projection?

Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings

A few months ago I had a dream which I can only describe as a kind of "warning" dream to me. A little background knowledge of my life at the time first though before I get onto the dream:- I was in the middle of seperating from my husband and had been on my own in my flat for about four months. I had started seeing someone else.  My children stayed with me on some nights whilst I looked for a bigger place to live in.

I was having real jealousy problems with my husband and he knew I was seeing someone else. One night I dreamt that I had lost the new man's phone number, it had completely disappeared from my mobile (I know that sounds kinda daft!!) but I over-reacted in the dream and was absolutely devastated...I thought I would never get the phone number back, and was trying to call his friend who wasn't answering me etc etc I was in a real panic and can still remember the feeling in my dream. Now in reality, I know that I wouldnt panic so much considering I work with the guy and all I have to do if that happens is actually ask him at work for the number again!

Anyway the next morning - wide a wake, vaguely still having memory of the dream but putting it to the back of my mind. I was standing in the kitchen and my kids were playing in the front room. My son came in and started acting funny and sneaky then left.. a few moments later I walk into the front room and see my son hiding under the computer desk with my mobile phone in his hand, talking to daddy saying "yes she is still seeing that man and he has called her and she has texts from him too" ... obviously very angry I grabbed the phone back and blasted my ex to pieces for using our son as a "spy". I was pretty angry with my son too and now I regret that.

I also realised that my son had deleted my boyfriends number from the phone. Easy to retrieve I just got the number back from one of the text messages he had sent.

But, still later that day this event gave me the shivers as I tied it in with the dream I had the night before. It just seemed tooooo coincidental to brush off.

Obviously it was some kind of premonition, but what sort..was it spirit guides or angels or something around me trying to warn me of this. If so, why? What could I have done to stop this. It actually caused huge problems for me and the ex after this and I later apologised to my son, he learned his lesson though and never did it again!

Thank you Kerri:-)

And for the record, no I wasn't feeling guilty, my children hadn't even met this new person as it was not a "serious" relationship. Not wanting to go too specifically into the details of my life I had suffered 15 years of emotional abuse from my husband and finally learned to stand up for myself and for my children and get the hell out. I was actually feeling very proud of myself and wanting to provide a new life for me and my children, so there was no guilt in involved (just relief from getting away from a controlling husband!).

I'm not looking for someone to pat me on the back and say "you're special" as I know EVERYONE has dreams that reflect their lives in the near future at some point, we can all do it. I just was interested in finding out more and where they come from etc!

I'm not offended by your comments at all, and thank you for taking the time to reply. Your view on the "unconcious mind" also does make a lot of sense as well, it just seemed strange to me that my dream was in connection with my mobile phone and losing the number and then the very next day it happened. I don't usually remember dreams like it were a movie I watched, it is usually the feelings and emotions that bring the thoughts back into my mind and can never remember "seeing" the dream. So it was those feelings and emotions although not quite so bad that affected me the next day.

Thank you both for your quick responses

I liked the idea of relating it to something that he is interested in (just working out how his favourite Tony Hawkes playstation game can be mixed in with this!!), and a remote control car would be a good metaphor for explaining what is going on.

But I guess you are right Nay, over time I can explain things and answer his questions as honestly as I can. I did mention "astral projection" to him and he is fascinated to find out more. A few people have mentioned to me they think he is very intuitive, he has always been such a sensitive soul along with the other very annoying traits of a normal 9 year old boy hehe;-)

Will let you know how it goes. Look forward to talking with you all more. I have been working on AP for quite some time and have not yet mastered it - have got to the vibration stage but still yet to get any further, thank you so much for the nice welcome.
