Hello Tumblr.
I made this account because I’m hoping someone out there might be able to help me understand a very strange situation.
I’m not joking. I’m not trolling. This is real, and I genuinely don’t know how to explain it.
When I was a child, I had experiences that my family always found unusual. According to my mother, it started when I was around three years old. I would sometimes react to people who weren’t there, talk to relatives who had passed away, and occasionally seem to know things I shouldn’t have known. I also had recurring dreams involving deceased family members. One relative in particular, my aunt who passed away, would visit me often in these dreams.
As I got older and hit puberty, all of that stopped. It completely disappeared, and for years I didn’t think much about it.
I’m 26 now, and recently my grandfather and my cousin passed away. For the past two months, I’ve been having vivid dreams involving my aunt, my grandfather, my cousin, and even my great-grandfather.
In one dream, my grandfather told me he was okay and asked about my father, his son. My aunt appeared with my great-grandfather and asked me to tell my family that he wanted to be buried where he originally wished to be buried before his remains were moved elsewhere. My aunt also asked me to tell my cousin’s mother that he is doing well and is happy.
What’s strange is that when I was a child, my aunt would always take me to the same place in these dreams. But when she returned recently with my great-grandfather, she took me somewhere completely different, a place I’ve never seen before.
I ignored it at first, but the dreams kept happening. They became repetitive and increasingly insistent, as they wanted me to pass these messages along.
Eventually I contacted my mother. I attached screenshots of our conversation. What started as a few texts turned into a very long phone call where I explained everything.
So I guess my question is:
Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar?
I’m a very science minded person. My first instinct has been to look for a scientific explanation. I’ve been researching, but nothing I’ve found quite explains why this feels so different from ordinary dreams.
Maybe there’s a rational explanation I’m missing. Maybe there’s something else going on entirely.
I honestly don’t know.
I’m just trying to understand what’s happening and whether anyone else has experienced something similar.
Thank you for reading.
