My sis, my only remaining sibling, and I were discussing over lunch yesterday her 'secret' beliefs till now. She has become a believer in spirits and afterlife, spirits that can and are contacted by the living. Not a Christian perspective, but a mystical one. Part of our discussion was about her opinion that she may have 'undeveloped' psychic ability. I asked her why she thought so.
She stated that she had had some dreams and other 'feelings' that she believed could not be explained in any other way. I relate a couple of them here.
She said that during her daughter's college years, she was home for a week. My sister was sleeping when she was awakened by her daughter standing in the doorway in her pajamas and stating that she was cold and could she get in bed with my sister. She told her of course she could, and her daughter came into bed with her, my sister turned over and looked at the nightstand clock which said 6:30. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Some time went by and she awoke later to the sound of her daughter's voice, asking the same questions. My sister responded annoyed this time, that we have already had this conversation. She opened her eyes and the same scene repeated, her daughter in the same pajamas, in the same pose in the doorway. My sis turned over and looked at the clock which read the precise 6:30 that she has seen what seemed like hours earlier. Her daughter insisted that was the first time she had been in the bedroom, and the first time she had asked the question.
I asked her - "Could it be that the event actually preceded the dream, but in the fog of sleepiness, her mind had turned it around as if the dream preceded the event?" She said that was impossible, for right after the event, which scared her, she and her daughter stayed awake till daylight and beyond discussing the matter.
In another more recent event, she stated that she was sitting at home on her day off, and kept bursting into tears without reason. She kept having thoughts of her former boss when these events occurred. Then late in the evening, her former boss called her. My sister asked her if something was bothering her, that she sounded on the phone as if she had been crying. She told my sister that she had been informed that her FIL was terminal with cancer, and that her husband did not know yet, as he was studying for a job promotion that she dared not call and inform him until he returned home. So she had been struggling all day with being the sole one with this information. She had been breaking out in tears all day. She had tried to call my sister about a business matter on several occasions, but had hung up before the phone was answered due to being so broken up that she did not want to talk. She had resolved to say nothing about the matter when she finally got control of herself enough to complete the call. Then they realized that her sobbing correlated with my sister's own.
I am unable to find a 'logical' explanation of these events. These were just a few of the things she told me.
Thoughts?
