Meeting deceased loved ones.

[AstralCody]

Have you achieved this?

My great grandma passed away back in 08. My grandpa died in his sleep back in 09. He was 64. I wasn't into projection much at the time but when I discovered it I have always wanted to talk to my great grandma, and my grandpa face to face. Out of all the times I have been in a solid OBE I will ask for my guides, my grandma, my grandpa, anybody to come talk to me and I am always alone. I will run into somebody in the real time zone but I am usually creating it. I feel that way anyway...

I did have an OBE once though and at the very end of it I lost focus quite a bit I was maybe 30% aware. I saw my grandpa sitting at my bar down where I live now. (He died down here) He smiled and winked at me. It was all dream activity after that but I remember it pretty well. Do you think it's possible they know I am not ready or aware enough to have a conversation with them? Are they still in touch with me or have they moved on to higher realms now and don't really stick around where I am at a whole lot?

I been doing this for a year and a half now, and I still feel I am a beginner. I got lots of work to do but I just wanted to hear your stories with deceased loved ones. How real it was for you. :- )

Cheers!

Ya, I know that's possible. He is always there for you that why you saw him. If you really want to communicate with him then try it, he will definitely give you a reply.

Hey, thanks Roman. :- )

I am sure I probably have talked to both of them I just don't remember.

I've come across 2 people in my life that had passed, though both times were very short and with very little communicated: basically that they are doing more than OK and gave me reassurance in my own life. You hear a lot about people helping the deceased, but they were much more supportive to me than I was to them. I think for the most part their transition and transformation is something that's hard for us to conceptualize, so actual communication might be difficult depending on the situation.

There are a few spiritual people in my family, but others really shy away from it... My dad for one. I'm only sharing this because it is related to this topic and is touching...

Very recently my grandmother passed away and I traveled up north to support my family. Mostly to support my dad... I could tell how rough it was on him. He shared with me that less than a week before he had two dreams...

In the first dream, he saw my grandma in a bed, sweating and shivering. She was telling him "I'm so hot... I'm so cold..." and he was effortless to do anything. Needless to say, it freaked him out.

The following night he had another dream... He was walking me down the isle at my wedding and as he walked into the church he saw grandma looking about 20 years old, beautiful and happy, sitting in a coffin reading a magazine. She kept telling him that everything was alright.

She wasn't sick. Less than a week later she took a nap and never woke up.

It was because of this that in hindsight my dad felt that it made it possible to make it through the days of the funeral and viewings. Having those dreams gave him the strength to make it through and hold himself together. And not only him, but it helped everyone. It was so rough... But it helped. Because everyone believed.

So why do I bring this up when this happened before she passed away? Meh, time is all relative.

My great grandmother died when I was 3 or 4, and my mother was very, very close to her. The night after her death, as my mom was going to sleep, she wished and wished more than anything to know if her grandmother was okay. My mom said she woke up in the middle of the night and heard her grandmother's voice, clear as day, "Holly, don't worry, I'm doing fine. I love you."

My mom said it made her feel infinitely better.

I always dismissed it as a dream, but after the past few months of reading people's stories and reading all about AP, I'm sure it was real.

Side note: My mom said she looked at the clock and it was 3:53. Not sure if any of you believe in numerology or the number 11, but that time adds up to 11.

Once I become adept at AP, the first guy I want to speak with is my grandfather. By far the funniest man I've ever known. I wonder how the guy's doing in the NPR...

But Cody, one thing that struck me about my mom's story is that she had incredibly strong intent, backed by incredibly strong emotions that night she went to bed. I think it might help you if you really, really intend to speak with your deceased relatives, and encase that intent with strong emotions. I look forward to your stories once you're successful.

I had a dead g.f. visit me in my dreams , many people do have this kind of dream. Robert Monroe wrote of a doctor friend he went to see .  He found this young guy he that he only knew who he was when he saw a much younger pic. of from his his wife that was still alive .  desert rat

My mother died 3 years ago. Sometime after she died I was in bed drifting into sleep. I was groggy but I could see my room, I knew where I was. I was not asleep. I turned to my right and saw my mother. She was about 25 to 30 years old in appearance. I tried to talk to her but she quickly left the room. I know it was her and that experience was real.
Because the death of my mother I have wanted to know more about the afterlife. I have come to some insights. Any feedback will be appreciated.

You should make a post about your insights Larysa.

Hi Larysa,
What you've basically described is documented by many authors for over a hundred years.
The 'sudden change' can create enough intent for a loved one to visit. At times its an apparition, others a conversation of sorts happens.

You would normally 'feel' the communication, if any, and you just 'know' the message.
It's outside of the physical reality and hardly any words do justice to explain it.
Does this make sense?

 My first mentor/teacher in the NPR was Charlie whom was MJ's brother in-law. I respected him greatly in Life and even more in Death. He was the Historical Director for Minnesota, a Free Mason, that made his way all the way up the ranks to the head of Minnesota and a fantastic friend.

He mentored me, showing me the ropes of the NPR everyday for about 2 months, then he just disappeared. I figured it was his time to move on to his next duty.

But I am eternally greatful for his friendship in my life and beyond!

To Larysa , welcome to the forum , your mom sounds more like a ghost . If she was much younger than than the last time you saw her I would say it was her soul and not just left over energy .  Some people do report meeting dead loved ones at an area called the astral garden , either a.p. or an n.d.e. desert rat

This is only a bit to add to my post from before...

It was supposed to rain on my wedding day last week and naturally I was a bit worried because it was an outdoor wedding. As I was falling asleep the night before I started noticing seeing pictures. Nothing too unusual, but I decided to try and focus on what I was seeing and it was my grandmother. She was standing outside the building I was in and I was looking at her through the window. Outside was beautiful... blue skies and so bright. She was just smiling. I slept really well that night and sure enough the day was absolutely beautiful and sunny when the weather channel had been harping for over a week that it would be cold, windy, and rainy.

I always try to be skeptical, but sometimes... it's just a really nice thought.

I have only met my grandparents through very vivid dreams. Have not met them in OOBE's...i did mentally said to them when i started having spontaneous  oobes something along the lines "if you guys thinking of visiting, please don't...' i don't mind meeting spirits during out of body experience, just not if they are related to me....id feel uncomfortable.

My dad died last summer and sometime in march I had a dream about him, then as I woke up..as I opened my eyes I heard his voice right in my ear...it was weird..

I meet deceased strangers, friends, and family all the time during LD's.

If you want to do it more all I can say is keep believing and never stop thinking about the great things you loved about them, keep those good memories alive, and look forward to your next meeting... by doing this your subconscious mind will book a reservation meeting : )

I keep meeting a deceased friend, and we have so much fun together via LD. I started questioning why wont he move on. I came to the conclusion the next time I meet him to do a retrieval and stop horsing around. But I cant do it, we have way too much fun a retrieval doesnt even cross my mind. I think he is still hanging around here cause he may be addicted to the physical plane, to teach his loved ones more about the non-physical planes, not the other way around, plus he is having fun and not ready to move on yet.
