This was absolutely incredible to read! I have so much to say and don't know where to start!
Okay I resonate with this so much but before I get to my reasons, I just want to say thank you both for sharing your experiences with dreams and intuition. This took me on a journey, imagining how some of the experiences felt and I also felt gratitude that the messages received via the dreams or intuition were listened to.
Andrea, that dread of age 26, must've been so dreadful to experience at that time and although we've shared conversations around your late husband and I've read about your experiences, this shed even more light to how losing someone you absolutely love and are building a life with transcends time. You had the fear for years not knowing why and then the intense feelings before it happened... It shows how connected your souls are even before you would've met!
Alexandra, I've subscribed and look forward to reading more of your work. Your dream about your brother stood out with you expressing it as a preview.
There's so much you both shared here yet it would turn into an essay so I will say that each one you shared really spoke to me, I'm going to read again and again as there's so many gems here!
I'll share my experiences in a reply to this comment. Thank you both for sharing your light ✨
Thank you so much for reading. ❤️ And yes… as you know from my posts and our conversations, his death hit me hard, to say the least. But even before my BLR experience, I had come to feel that he and I had shared many lives together. It was the only thing that ever made sense of the depth of that connection. I’d also always carried this quiet feeling that I was somehow being… prepared. I couldn’t explain it at the time, just that something in me knew. After my BLR, I understood it on a deeper level, that we had a soul contract, and that preparation had a purpose. That in other lifetimes, I hadn’t always stayed… and this time, I was being given the best chance possible to do it differently. If that makes sense?
It totally makes sense Andrea, your soul has lived many lifetimes and the lessons you chose to learn followed you here to this one, that connection with Ed definitely expanded this lifetime so you had that feeling to prepare you for such a heartbreaking loss in order to break previous cycles of not staying. I've learnt so much from you, your work is inspirational, thank you for sharing your lived experiences. 💜
A dream I shared on Substack recently was that in my 20's I had a dream of having a daughter. It was so vivid, I was getting ready and she was coping everything I did. When I woke, the maternal, unconditional love I felt was unshakable. I was not a mother at the time and I noticed that her appearance looked nothing like the person I was in a relationship with... Thankfully before I reached my 30's that relationship was over and no children!
At 36, while getting my regular pregnancy checks, the obstetrician couldn't tell whether my husband and I were expecting a boy or girl as our baby kept moving... My husband reminded me of my dream I had told him about and oh was the dream right! Years on, our daughter does the exact thing I saw in my dream!!
I've had many dreams that have come true, ones that never leave and I write them down so that I know it's not a false memory or déjà vu.
With intuition, I always listen to it, there have been times in my past where I didn't and then found out I really should have done!
I remember when you first told me about that dream. I thought it was so special and sweet, as if she were coming to visit long before her birth. It really shows such a strong connection. 💕
I do the same, I write down my dreams. Not just the visit or premonition ones either, but as much as I can remember from all of them. I think they have a lot to tell us. I don’t always understand them in the moment, but sometimes when I go back and reread them later, I’ll think, ‘Oh… I get it now!’ 😊
And same, I always try to listen to my intuition. There have definitely been times when I’ve talked myself out of it and didn’t listen… and then kicked myself later! lol
I did a PL reading and found that my daughter and I had shared a lifetime where she looked after me, she was a little older than me, we both passed away the same night. Will DM you the details, so many things made even more sense.
Yes we definitely need our intuition, it's our inner guide.
It's good you write your dreams down too! We can learn so much from them for sure. 😊
The part with him showing up in the night to get you moving... did something unreal to me. I went all quiet over that cuz love crossing that kind of distance just to get a baby held in time is too much for me in one go. 😖 I am still kind of blinking over how protective that was.
Yes… Ed always had such a soft spot for children, and he was so good with them when he was here. We have a strong line of communication now, so I wasn’t surprised he stepped in to help with that one. But yeah… it really does take your breath away, doesn’t it?
Clear CTA to be brave, so I did when the time came.
This post is the first time I read about someone with aphantasia also dreaming with visual info happening in the dreams (the crumbled newspaper as an example). Something quite similar happened to me recently while I was finishing reading a thriller, which was resolving the plot line, making it clear to me as a reader that the main character must survive as a hero and the culprit would get arrested, it was clear so I did not have to invest any emotions on an unclear ending, yet, I suddenly froze to my bones. After finishing the book, I picked up my phone to find a message letting me know someone's late daughter was just brought to hospital...
Another story, I texted someone who had gone awkwardly silent, like, please lmk what's up with you, then, I took my bag to buy some cake, came back with eyes gazing at the sidewalk to find a paper tissue which was ragged, forming a symbol of a person with a walking stick, bent over, heavy luggage or something, as if it had been made up from a figure I had seen on an illustration of a page, and I knew the answer to my question before I got it. Walking stick and luggage, an old man torturing that silent friend I just was texting to wake up and tell me.
Very interesting indeed … It makes me smile seeing that we have many people out there who have these kinds of “power” … and seeing that you have awareness and self listening… it’s amazing… I am going to read your article 😉
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I love how you described that feeling of knowing something before you fully understand it. Moments like that always stop me in my tracks.
As someone with aphantasia, I don’t always dream visually, but when I do, it’s often either a visitation-type dream or something that feels really intuitive or symbolic. Not always, but often enough that I’ve learned to pay attention when it happens.
I’m definitely going to go check out your note. I’m really curious to read more about your experience.
Also, this might be a little random, but I’m currently collecting real-life stories like this, intuitive moments, signs, dreams, divine intervention, things that just can’t quite be explained, for a book I’m working on. If you’d ever be open to sharing something like this for the book, I’d love to connect more 🤍
This was such a fascinating read. I really appreciate how openly you both shared these experiences. Reading this actually has me thinking I should pay more attention to my own dreams and intuitive nudges instead of brushing them off so quickly. Thanks for sharing such personal stories, it definitely gave me something to reflect on.
Thank you Sabina… some dreams are just dreams… and some thoughts are just thoughts… but if you train yourself to open the intuitive gate and to listen to yourself… the entire meaning of dreams and thoughts changes… it’s a process… and it takes time to train yourself but I m certain you can get there… give it a try… and be patient with yourself…
Aww, thank you so much, Sabrina. That really means a lot. ❤️ I love that it got you thinking about your own dreams and intuitive nudges. That’s exactly the kind of reflection we were hoping it might spark. It’s so easy to brush those things off, but there’s often something meaningful there when we pause and listen. Thank you for reading.
I love that you have documented these and put them out for all to see - our natural psychic human nature. We are all so intertwined. Such magic here. Thank you!
These are wonderfully fulfilling to read. What a great compilation! Brilliant 💡
Thank you for reading and your beautiful comment. 💕
Thank you 🙏 very kind of you to share your thoughts
Truly wonderful
Thank you, Hina. 💕

Oh yes! Please share the PL with me. I love hearing those!
On it! 😊
That’s beautiful… the pregnancy dream is so nice… happy to meet another soul with this “gift” ❤️
Alexandra, I comped you access to my paid posts. I wrote one about my BLR experience, I can’t remember if I mentioned it before? You might find it interesting 😊https://andrea8294.substack.com/p/what-a-between-lives-regression-revealed?r=5hi4j1
Yes I already read it sometime ago and shared with you my thoughts on it…
I clearly need more coffee this morning!
Hahaha 🤣
Thank you! Happy to meet you too! 💜

I have those clear dreams, too, and only recently, I posted a note about one of my dreams and how I decrypted the message therein. https://substack.com/@danielagrothe/note/c-245336348

Thank you for reading, Ben. 💕
I love that you have documented these and put them out for all to see - our natural psychic human nature. We are all so intertwined. Such magic here. Thank you!
Thank you. 💕 That quiet inner voice really does know more than many give it credit for.
I am glad that you liked it… and yes, the idea is to encourage everyone to listen more to their internal voice… it’s knows more than our brain…
This is Beautiful
Thank you for reading. 💕
Thank you 🙏
