Thread: Contact with the deceased

Just a quick post before I go to school. Last night i had the most vivid lucid dream I have had yet but in the midst of my excitement I talked to someone who died 6 years ago, not someone especially close to me, and she said (among other things) the only way she could contact the living world was through lucid dreams.

Has anybody had any similar experience?

Oh and I flew for the first time

yes my grandmother died few months ago or month ago after her death last 3 dreams have had her in it

and that contact thing is most likely your idea¨

and.. hmm.. and o yeah welcome

Being able to interact with your memories and thoughts of the dead is one of the coolest things about lucid dreaming

I dream of my aunt sometimes.

The first time was only weeks after her death (she died in a car accident) and it hadn't sunken in yet because I hadn't shed a tear. I was driving home from out of town and had fallen asleep on the wheel. Usually I know because there are little groves on the side of the road that wakes me up when my car starts to wonder over, but that day I didn't wake up. I think I was out cold or thought I was still awake (It was one of those dreams where I kept waking up and falling asleep and eventually I dreamt I was driving home and got confused) until my aunt's face popped into my mind and that's when I realized I was dreaming. Thankfully it happened when it did because I was still going speed limit (usually I slow down when I fall asleep) and I was headed straight towards a state trooper who was parked on the side of the road.
I won't forget that day. I was so shaken up by it, one because I could've killed him, two, if I even hit his car I would've gotten into a lot of trouble and I sorta landed rear first into a ditch.
My life pretty much passed before my eyes. Strange thing was though the officer came up to me and asked if I was okay, didn't even ask for my DL or anything. He then helped me pull my car out and at that point I was preparing for the worst: Not.A.Scratch. After that he let me go and said I should pull over at a fast food place up ahead to get something to eat and rest.
Once everything had sunken in, the accident, me getting away without so much as warning, and the death of my aunt I pretty much balled my eyes out the rest of the way home.

I have...I knew I was dreaming.
He told me.
It was amazing at first, he was back, my mother was smiling. She was happy. I saw him and ran to him, he hugged me..but the second I touched him, he smelt like death. (He use to always smell like Old spice. We keep of bottle in his honor.) The second I noticed I pulled away and was aware I was dreaming, He whispeared to me, like he could hear my thoughts..."Don't tell her, look how happy she is!"
It was the only time he came. And it was my first lucid. It only lasted seconds...but it is something I will never ever forget.

I lost my grandfather on my mother's side a few years ago, my grandmother married again, and I considered the wonderful man she married to be my grandfather too. We lost him to cancer last May.

The night he died I was sleeping in my office at work (probably not the best place to try and get lucid....but hey....beggars can't be choosers.)I had a vivid dream that my little brother had driven down in front of the building and rapped on the window to tell me my Grandfather had passed. I woke in the morning and a few hours in was called by my parents to say he'd gone in the night.

A few weeks later, I had a dream where I was in a building with some friends and there was a knock on the door. I went to the door and both my Grandfather's are there.... to the best of my knowledge, they never met in life, yet they were there as friends in my dream.

Mu heart goes out to everyone in this thread.

First LD I had I went to see my late Grandmother. I dreamt that she was staying in a nursing home and we raced remote control boats for some reason. I've had a few dreams about her, even now when I don't remember her very clearly I still occasionally dream about her. In one, she hadn't died, she was in witness protection.

woah... not being mean but that sounds nothing like contact with deceased It sound more like your aunt was your guardian angel to be that lucky plus damn those grooves in the road are scary I remember when I was younger my mom was driving me up to my aunts and I fell asleep and she decided to wake me up by driving on those grooves... she scared the crap outta me almost literally. well I hope I have an experience like that cause I really miss my neighbour henry he died a while ago from cancer and just the thought of contacting him in dreams seems oh so lovely T_T

Yes. I have had the same experience. One year to the date- my Mother visited me. We talked, laughed and even flew over clouds (hence, my name). We sat and talked, i can remember her touching my hair and easing my pain. This was the start of my Lucid dreams. But to classify it as Lucid or Astral or OBE...hmmm? Coming from a TRUE BELIEVER it doesnt matter what its classified as. Congrats on flying
