Hi Serapine,

Sorry, I can't relate to any of the supernatural stuff but Charlie "Bird" Parker is one of my all time musical heroes. Your Mum obviously had good taste :-)

Zoot off the Muppet's Electric Mayhem Band was a big fan (I guess Frank Oz was too) and may have pointed many of us born in the 50s and 60s in the right direction :-)  

Cheers

Dave

Hi dave i thought it was all a load of rubbish till it happend to me . Your a clever guy where does the energy go when we die the scientist say energy cannot be destroyed or made so were does it go ??  I know we use religion as a crutch but to me i dont beleive it was coincidence that man the universe just came into being .i dont beleive in god either i think we are all part of something we dont have the mental capasityto work out .paul

Is that not just what I’m saying that religion doesn’t matter 

Yes agree as we get older we pick uo wisdom or some do many things we beleive and stand by when we are young as we get older seem less important as we age i read an artical they asked people over 65 what there main regrets were and the biggest answer was the regret was they worried so much about things that never happend

This thread is getting way too personal ... let's get back to what it is started about .. not religion... why bring religion in to it at all ..

I love that statement my big sister used to say this to me all of the time before she passed suddenly also 2 years ago and she was so right 

I actually didn’t someone else did and I made a point religion doesn’t matter ????

I was not making any point. Just chatting about my experiences and agreeing everyone is different and has their own beliefs.

Thank you so much for replying.

I wasn't affected so much with being young.

But when my mum gets upset about her dad she always mentions her friend. It's such a shame. I've seen holiday snaps of the pair of them and she was a bridesmaid at my parents wedding.

But that's what she believed was right.

Yes, all change getting used to a new school. Good luck with your youngest starting infant school. Fingers crossed x

Thanks again. 

Paul I completely agree with you.  I don’t believe the universe just happened,  whatever it is it is something beyond our mental capacity.  I’m not particularly religious either. But a human body is amazing. That’s not coincidence either 

when my mum died we played her favourite song to her and we had it at her funeral. My son on his first day at big school said he went into his first class and the teacher was playing the song. It’s an old Elbow song 11 years old. Not particularly current or popular a strange choice for a teacher to play to secondary school kids 

a week before mum died I feather landed on my lap and I had the strangest feeling that mum was very ill. My mum at the time just had a bad back. She died very suddenly a week later from a metastasised cancer she didn’t know she had. About two weeks after she died a robin sat next to me I was so startled I took a photo. 

The night after mum mum died I had the most vivid wonderful dream of her. I’ve not had one like it before or since.  In the dream she looked happy and healthy and was wearing a pink jacket.  She hugged me so tight. One of the things we couldn’t do in the hospital because of the pain in her back. On the day of her funeral we went to her and dads house and a pink jacket was hanging up. I asked dad. Have I seen that jacket before? . He said no she had just bought it but never got the chance to wear it.    I also smell her all the time. Just wafts now and then.  

My signs from dead relatives and pets: many dozens of dreams about them, hundreds of coins and banknotes found on the floor (also a few gift cards and other valuables), sometimes a feeling of uplifted mood, coincidences and lucky events (e.g. thinking about a music album and then finding it in an unlikely shop).

In one dream, my mother said that she'd had another baby.  I asked my father (still alive) about it and he said that she'd had an early-stage miscarriage in 1976.  I knew nothing about it before.

In another dream, my father (now dead) built a music school in the shape of a square ring.  Two years later, the music school where he worked was extensively renovated to form a square ring shape.

In July 2005, I was at home in Wales for my mother's funeral and the clear-up afterwards.  On 7th July 2005, there were four terrorist bombings in central London, very close to where I work.  I avoided the bombings and the ensuing disruption by being in Wales, so Mum protected me even in death!
