Episode Five - A Grand Premonition
The most perplexing premonition and memorable event involved dreaming of my maternal grandfather. My dream took place in the beginning of March 1998 and I recognize this now as astral travelling in my dream state.
Suddenly, I found myself suspended in space and my grandpa appeared in front of me. Surprised to see him, I asked him what he was doing.
He responded by saying that he had something important to tell me and that I was not to be too sad about it.
Grandpa continued by saying, “Before we are born, we choose a time we are to be born and a time we are to die. I was originally going to die at the end of March but now your uncle is coming down to see me and I need to stay alive for him for a couple of days. So now I will die on your cousin’s birthday.” (He was referring to the daughter of the uncle coming to visit)
I awoke from this dream feeling sick to my stomach. I hoped that it had been just a nightmare.
It was something I couldn’t keep to myself, so I phoned my mother’s oldest brother to tell him as he is highly intuitive and open to hearing about these kinds of experiences. He agreed with me that it was probably just a nightmare.
As March came to an end that year, the uncle my grandpa said would come visit, announced he was coming to Manitoba soon to see his father. It would be a 10 to 12-hour drive.
Immediately I felt anxious as the date he said he was arriving on, coincided with my astral travel dream.
Sure enough, my uncle arrived for a visit on April. 8th, 1998. Grandpa had already taken a turn for the worst and could no longer communicate with anyone. He could only move his foot to the Celtic music we played in his nursing home room.
I informed my older brother about my dream as he planned to go see grandpa on the 11th. If my dream was true and it sure was shaping up that way, grandpa wouldn’t be in his body on the 11th, only in spirit.
Suppose it was my passion about the whole thing that persuaded my brother, and we went together to say goodbye.
In the evening, two days after my uncle’s arrival, on April. 10th, I whispered to my grandpa to come and see me in my dreams and that it was okay for him to go.
As I kissed him goodbye, he tried to answer me with a muffled sound and nodded his head. I found out later that he passed away ten minutes after my brother and I left his room.
Looking back on the similarities of what the dreams felt like and what I felt like when I woke up, finally led me to knowing how to recognize a premonition.
It was after this awakening that I could then understand and teach others what to look for.
If what grandpa said was true of us ‘choosing’ - then I take that to mean I chose my parents and siblings as well.
Other people have spoken of this. For example: Dr. Wayne Dyer spoke of us choosing our parents before we are born.
This is my experience and I have to interpret it the best I can. It applies to this situation as I cannot speak for others.
It may not explain murders or accidents (unless that is a prior agreement between the souls involved). I believe people can be accidentally taken out or leave before their time.
But again, I really do not know.
This same grandfather did come see me in my dreams after he passed away. This was what he told me...
Write it down!
In 2005, my dream had me visiting the farm where my maternal grandparents lived. I was standing where my grandfather sat at the table which was in front of the stove.
Knowing with all my heart that he was sitting there, I demanded he appear to me so I could see him. Frustrating feelings erupted inside of me because I knew without a doubt that he was there. I could feel his presence.
The more I insisted he appear, and he didn’t, the more upset I became and the more he did not make himself observable to me.
Giving up, I turned to leave. It was in that moment of releasing the need to see him, that my grandpa became visible.
He looked at me with his usual sparkling eyes and conniving grin. There he was. Finally!!! I was seeing my grandpa again and a sense of relief came over me and at the same time an overriding feeling of joy.
He told me that if I am pushing for something, it does not allow for the energy to flow. If I keep pushing and demanding to see or know something, it creates a blockage.
The moment I stepped back after stating what I wanted clearly, then he became visible to me. The energetic space was there for him to show up.
My grandpa continued to advise me to write down what it is I want in my life.
This makes it a concise intention to the universe.
If I am taking the time to write it down, it is acting like a prayer.
As I woke up, I could still hear him repeatedly saying to me, “Write it down! Write it down! Write it down!”

It may seem that my premonitions are mostly about my relatives crossing over to the other side. However, this isn’t the case.
I feel the need to share this information so that we can become more comfortable with saying goodbye. Also saying hello to the newcomers. The babies born into our lives.
In my experience, both of my children came to me in visions while I was pregnant with them. I could see exactly what they looked like.
It seems to me we can hone these skills by focusing on them. Record your dreams. Pay attention to your inner guidance. Do not argue with yourself. The card from my Beginners Oracle Card Deck says: “I cooperate with myself first.” #32 Amethyst
