I believe in the reality of dreams, that they have emotional links to current reality in my own life. I could share several that have been predictions of events in my life.

But I certainly do not believe in spirit beings that is supposed to be ghost reincarnation of the deceased. What has happened in the past people were often buried while in a coma, and their cries and screams could be faintly heard in the dead of night, also a flourescent plume of gas was often seen on moonlit nights rising from the graves of recently buried persons. These phenomon spooked the ancients into believing in ghosts.

dreams are a special gift
not nessisarilly for what they reveal..[ie content]
but for the break from 'reality'..they allow

i hear that blind people have visual dreams
that cripples walk...and the list of issues
that dream's overcome..is unlimited

think of wet dreams..or a poor person
dreaming of that the 'in material life'..they lack
it really is a karmic balancing..

that allows even if only for the moment..
relitive normality..relitive equality..or a glimpse of heaven[or hell]

who hasnt enjoyed the waking thought
'oh thats only a dream'..[so lets avoid the nightmare
but not the gift of the dream]..

that said..the area of visioning
isnt as much a dream..but it seems the 911 has its own specialisations
many with hindsight ..have recognised a deliberated 'warning/predictive preperation..''that will remain bejond analisis..

indeed much
in the whole field of parra?..normality

nightmares i have found
are best faced with going straight back to sleep..
and facing the 'foe' better armed to repell all boarders..
installed in our mental armour..[love]..of our reality
versis their..not reality

predictive dreams..like the towers in flames..[ok smoke]
may have some preperative intuition..that lessons the impact on our psychi..

but then so many of our fears are unrealised..
that its hard to know..which to take any more seriously..than any other

or we would loose this opertuinity living materially affords us all..and likely miss the others gifts of dreams..that balance

and certainly those who think to write horror movies..
would loose a vast field of inspirational terror
to frighten even more those who get frightend by surealistic imagry..[i get all i could ever need..in my own dream,s..for free]

but
no matter how frightening
how much more scary..if we lived
only..in each others nightmarish dreams

[oops
many of us do]

Dear Belly,

I think I've told you this event in the past.
It happened to my husband when he was a young
boy scout. It was his turn to stand on guard
duty at a scout camp during one particular
Christmas holidays. They were camped out in the
bush. He coped the pre-dawn shift. He was starting
to drift off to sleep when he woke up to the sound
of voices. In the distance he saw a group of males
and females walking towards the camp and talking
amongst each other. He merely assumed that it was
some of the senior scouts returning back to camp from
the nearby town where they had gone earlier that evening.

My husband stood up and waited as they approached.
Their voices were somewhat muffled. And as they got
nearer they slowly faded away. He walked towards
where they had been but couldn't find a trace of anyone.

The next day - he found out that their camp was next
door to an old cemetery. No one believed what he had
experienced.

I have done 13 thousand nautical miles, in a yacht single handed.

I have, on a few occasions, gone for periods a couple of weeks where I did not hear a voice, even radio. They were quite a few similar periods, where I did not hear a voice in a language I could understand, even on radio.

I must be a boring fellow, as no spirits appeared to fill the void.

I was once very frightened, close to the equator, on a flat calm night in the doldrums, when a moon rise was so bright I could read my chart in the cabin by the light.

I have never been so relieved as when that moon appeared, & confirmed that was all it was, but still no spirits.

Life at sea can get so boring, that I once reread a book entitled, "The Ant World", but still no spirits.

I blame my mother.

Dear Lexi,

Your husband was next to a crypt and had a cryptic experience.

Hi Lexi,
I am delighted to realise that you are a kindred spirit. Apart from my following Buddhist principals (A way of Life, not a Religion,), I am very Spiritual. I believe in Nature, faeries, Spirits ( I have seen a few Ghosts), and all things connected to us. I talk to my flowers, and apologise to them when I cut them (no, I am not whacky), I predicted my Fathers' death when I was just a small child, he died that night.
There is a lot more to Life than some people imagine. I do believe in a life after death too, and have seen more than one Ghost in my time.
Fascinating subject though. I believe that our bodies are so complex in the context of what it is capable of, that we must have been designed to last more than one life time.
Take care my friend,
NSB
