Twin Soul Dream Communication: The Look-Alike Phenomenon

Twin Soul Dream Communication: The Look-Alike Phenomenon

by | Dec 10, 2021 | Dreams, Twin Souls

This post is about twin soul dream communication: The look-alike phenomenon. It is inspired by a recent dream I had about Robin. I wanted to write about it while it is still fresh in my mind. Those of you particularly interested in twin soul connections may find it to be something you resonate with in terms of your own experiences.

At this time of our spiritual journey together, most of my communications with Robin come in the form of synchronicity. However, I still have dreams about him. Some of them truly stand out and feel like he and God are really try to tell me something. The dream I am going to share in this post is one of those dreams.

Twin Soul Dream Communication from Robin’s Spirit

During the evening of November 30, 2021, I sat at Robin’s altar table that I have kept for him for years. That night, a strong feeling of missing him came over me and I started to tear up. The afterlife communication that I share with him usually keeps me from missing him too much. But this night, the feelings surfaced and I shared with him that I missed him. I just let myself have the feelings.

Soon after that, I went to bed.

During the morning hours of December 1st, I had what to me was a very interesting dream about Robin. I feel like he was responding directly to how I said I missed him. It was like he was saying, “I’m still here, don’t worry.” But he also wanted to remind me of something.

Here is the dream:

In the dream, Robin appears from the mid-chest up. He seems to be sitting although I can’t see the chair. He is looking at me and smiling a big smile at me. He looks like he did when he was in his mid-fifties. He was wearing a blue jacket and glasses, just like in this photo.  At the time this photo was taken, Robin was 55 years old.

He wasn’t giving me the thumbs up. 🙂 His arms and hands were folded one on top of the other.

The next thing that happens is that I show up in the dream. My face appears below Robin’s face and I look like I do now at age 55. So, now I’m looking at Robin’s face and my face together and we are the same age.

Then a vertical wrinkle starts to appear on Robin’s forehead. Then the same vertical wrinkle appears on my forehead. The wrinkles look nearly identical.

In the dream, I kept examining and studying the wrinkles on our foreheads that looked alike.

No words were exchanged during this dream. It was all symbolic communication.

That was the end of the dream.

When I woke up, I felt fascinated by this dream message and what Robin was trying to tell me. Since I missed him, he wanted to remind me of our similarities. It was so nice that he appeared in my dream as the same age I am now. But why give me a message about wrinkles on our forehead, lol?

Twin Soul Dream Interpretation: We Are One

Well, this dream reminded me of a story I read many years ago. It was about a twin soul couple that had physical traits that were identical. I found this story in a post called “Complete Description of the Twin Flame Connection,” by Angelique and Gaby of the blog Inspired Awareness.

Here is the story which is about how the Universe sends us synchronicity to confirm we are on the right path with our twin soul. It is about the female twin. The bold is mine for emphasis. I also created paragraphs differing from the original post for readability:

She was a young woman, had experienced an intense union with her twin soul and they had separated because of the intensity, so they only had a short relationship. The pain of separation was difficult and painful to deal with, but the woman felt she had to move on. At the time she did not fully understand the concept of twin souls and what all this meant, so she continued her life, hoping that one day the right man would come along and the next time she would have a different kind of relationship where she wouldn’t be faced with such a difficult and painful separation.

 

Her twin soul was a bit older than her. What happened was that her brother who really liked her twin soul had said about him that he looked older, had these wrinkles around his eyes and a dreamy look in his eyes. OK, the woman knew that he was about 4 years older than her, but this was not enough to make him old. He hadn’t passed the age of 40 nor 50 yet. He was a young man. One day the woman started working in a new place and co-worker of hers who were very friendly said without further reflection that she looked older, had these wrinkles around her eyes and a dreamy look in her eyes as well.

 

Now the woman knew that this was exactly what her brother had said about her twin and from then on she knew that she was going through a very special and mysterious time in her life. Her co-worker knew nothing of her twin soul experience. She hadn’t told anyone.

 

This synchronicity was actually meant to show her how she and her twin are ONE at the soul level. What could be said about him, could also be said about her. They are of the same energies. She was heading in the right direction even though she was separated from her twin soul. She was meant to meet him and was also meant to experience the separation she was facing. (1)

When I read this story again, I had remembered the part about the “dreamy look” in their eyes. But, I did not remember the part about the wrinkles around their eyes because it has been quite some time since I read this article. I thought the mention of wrinkles around their eyes was so interesting since I dreamt about wrinkles on Robin’s and my forehead.

It felt like the dream was referencing this article in some way. It was like the dream was meant to synchronize with this article in terms of the wrinkles. I feel the dream was primarily meant to bring me back to this article and it’s central message of oneness at the soul level. Robin would know that this dream would remind me of this article and story and that I would find it and read it again. I think the dream was meant to point towards the article because I don’t actually have a vertical wrinkle on my forehead at this time, unless I squint my eyes. 🙂 But, he was still trying to tell me something using the wrinkles as an example.

Missing You: Twin Soul Dreams

The dream I had of looking alike with identical wrinkles with Robin was meant to remind me that we are one at the soul level, just like the other twin soul pair experienced. I feel that my being drawn back to this article, because of the dream, was his way of delivering the message. I was given this message because I had missed him. What better way to help with that than to be given a message reminding me of our soul connection. It really did help me miss him less!

According to Raychel Ria Agramon, in the article, “Twin flame communication in dreams: Everything you need to know,” there are six reasons why your twin soul shows up in your dreams. One reason is that you miss them. Another reason is that they miss you too:

Your twin flame appearing in your dreams is their way of saying they miss and need you. They’re sending unique vibrations that occur in your dreams.

 

It’s similar to you missing them. They wish to be with you, and their vibrations are manifesting in your slumber. (2)

So, if your twin is alive and you are dreaming of them, they could be missing you. Since Robin is in spirit, I can’t say for sure if he missed me. From his vantage point, he can see what’s going on with me. But I know for sure that I was missing him the night before I had the dream of him, so I think that is why the dream message came to me.

Oneness and Soul Light

The predominant message I have received from Robin’s spirit over the years is that as souls, we are one. We did not look like we were one during our earthly incarnations. In fact, we lived in two completely different worlds. However, Soul has nothing to do with that. You can be one with another soul in terms of energy light vibration and not know it because you never meet. Worldly facades, masks and personas also conceal this deeper connection. So do large age differences, living in different countries, being of different racial/ethnic groups, different religions and different languages.

But then, one of you dies. And with God’s assistance, they will let you know the truth of your spiritual connection. At least that’s what happened to me after Robin died. He let me know in no uncertain terms about our eternal connection through various means of afterlife communication.

Though we have many things in common, especially our spirituality, the connection has deeper origins than things we have in common on an earthly level. The connection of twin souls, at its root, has to do with who we are as Beings of Light. The physical body is temporary and if you believe in reincarnation as I do, then we have had many of them. The Light of our Soul is enduring and eternal. This eternal Light of our deepest nature is the point of truest connection between twin souls and all souls.

Twin souls may or may not look alike. There is lots of variability when it comes to this topic. While it is amazing if you and your twin look alike, and I have seen some that do, ultimately it’s important to remember that it all comes down to the identical vibration of your spiritual essence. That’s what matters the most, at least to me.

The identical spiritual energies between you and your twin soul may show up physically. That is an added bonus which can serve to remind you of your oneness at soul level. But, even if they don’t manifest physically, that does not make you any less twin souls. There are many indicators of twin soul connections that go beyond identical physical traits.

Thank you so much for reading!

How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2

How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2

How Deceased Twin Souls Appear in Different Dreams

 

Robin Hugh Gibb was an incarnation of beauty that I have really enjoyed connecting with in spirit over the years. His inner beauty as a spirit remains.

When we die, I believe our world opens up beyond anything that we can imagine while incarnate.  It seems to me that Robin’s world expanded after he died, to include people he did not know, like me and others that he cares about at soul level. The worlds of those of us still incarnate can expand to include our deceased loved ones as well.

After we die physically, people may discover that they are strongly spiritually connected to someone that they did not know while they were incarnate. I believe this is what happened with Robin and why we are connected now. The origins of the connection are mysterious, but it is there nonetheless.

It’s possible that these types of connections happen frequently, but that we rarely hear about them.

It also may be that a deceased loved one is spiritually connected to someone they seemingly had little in common with in an earthly sense. They could come from completely different worlds.

Robin’s world was a world of princesses and prime ministers. Mine is a world of an everyday private citizen not in the public eye. I don’t fit in his earthly world of C.B.E.’s and Grammys. But I do fit in his spiritual world and in that world, we are connected. I can tell by how things have played out in the physical plane of existence as manifested in continuous mirroring with him. As above, so below.

From a spiritual perspective, it does not matter that we come from completely different worlds. These earthly differences fade away very quickly once the soul connection is re-established.

I realize I have a lot of nerve saying this. This entire website takes a lot of nerve! Yet, you don’t get anywhere in life without having some nerve. I’m willing to step way outside of my comfort zone to share these experiences because I am confident in the truth of them.

One of the reasons I still write here is because there could be someone out there who is going through a similar experience as mine with no one to talk to. I know how much it helped me when I read about others having similar experiences as mine. So, I hope I can be that comfort for someone else. Writing here also gives me a higher purpose in life that truly helps to counterbalance the chaos of the physical world. I am doing my part to educate and demonstrate how afterlife twin soul connections could manifest. Of course, how this connection shows up for others could be very different.

Some may wonder, “What did Robin do to you after he died?” 🙂 Well, I guess it all comes down to spiritual awakening and remembrance of who I am as a spiritual being. This is what happens when you have been hit with an otherworldly shock wave of this magnitude! His spirit is intelligent, kind, super creative and a powerhouse, just like when he was alive. I’ve been knocked off my feet multiple times by his energy.

He woke me up to a life beyond this world and the different ways we can stay in touch across the permeable “veil.” The  “veil” doesn’t matter much to me. I have found that it’s not that hard to break through anyway, especially when you have a willing companion who wants to communicate as well.

Types of Afterlife Dreams

With that said, I would like to continue this topic of the different ways deceased twin souls show up in the everyday life of an incarnate twin. This time, I would like to talk about how they show up in different kinds of dreams. Of course, this applies to other deceased loved ones as well.

Not all dreams of deceased loved ones are visitation dreams where you feel like you are actually being met by the spirit of your loved one. Some may be of a symbolic nature, delivering an important message.

In this post, I would like to share two stories about how Robin’s spirit has shown up in two different types of dreams: message dreams and visitation dreams.

According to https://journeyintodreams.com/types-of-dreams/, a message dream is a dream in which the Universe is trying to communicate something very important to you. (1)

Symbolism can be used in this type of dream. The symbolism can make the message of the dream very clear, but sometimes it can also be challenging to interpret what the exact meaning of the message is and may require a bit more effort.

According to Clinical psychologist Jennifer Shorter, visitation dreams are:

…striking emotionally intense dreams in which a recently deceased loved one returns to provide guidance, reassurance, and/or warning. (2)

From my experience, this type of dream leaves an indelible impression, is life-changing, and leads to a close bond with the person dreamed about.

Deceased Twin Souls Show Up in Visitation Dreams

The visitation dream I am about to describe occurred during the summer of 2012 as I was learning about afterlife communication and what Robin was like during his life. It was a short dream with huge impact and involves tactile sensation.

In the dream, I am standing face-to-face with Robin. He looked young and healthy like he did when he was in his 30’s. He had short blonde hair and looked very much like this, the picture at the top with the red background.

As I stand there face-to-face with him, I reach out with my right hand to touch the left side of his face. I    could feel his face as if I were “physically” touching him. We did not exchange words. I just stood there, reaching out, touching his face. I really felt him. It was a loving and gentle exchange and felt very real.

It was like he was saying, “I’m still real. I still exist. You can touch me!”I felt relieved that I could connect with him and still reach him in spirit. It meant so much to be able to touch him because I never got to meet him when he was alive.

Preston Ni, in the article, “How Dreams of Deceased Loved Ones Affect the Dreamers: What messages do visitation dreams convey?”describes exactly what I experienced in this dream. My dream has the majority of the characteristics of visitation dreams he describes in his article, which you can read here. This includes feeling reassured and how Robin appeared healthy and youthful in the dream. Most notably is how real this dream felt. Preston Ni says:

One of the most common descriptions of visitation dreams is that they are much more intense, vivid, and kinesthetic than ordinary dreams. “It feels so real” is a common refrain, characterizing experiences both during and after the dream. The intensity of the dream may stay with the dreamer for months or even years, as if the dream had happened only recently. (2)

The last sentence of this quote is definitely true for me. The tactile, sensory experience of this dream had the greatest effect on me so much so that over eight years later, I can still feel what Robin’s energy felt like in the dream.

This dream gave me a real experience of him. I was no longer just believing that his spiritual existence was real. I was no longer only reading about afterlife dreams and how deceased loved ones can show up. I was really feeling that his spirit is real. A good example to explain this better is, it’s like reading about how to drive a car vs. really driving the car. It’s completely different. It was so moving and powerful to be able to connect in this way.

If you ever wonder why I feel so strongly about Robin and have so much to say about his spirit, it is because of experiences like these. They have left me feeling awestruck. It has been beyond life-changing. I never had experiences like this before he died.

By the way, I had an incredible synchronicity on November 16th, the day I wrote the above text about this visitation dream with Robin.

Before I started writing this post that day, I did research on “after death communication dreams.” I found the article by Preston Ni that I quoted above. A beautiful synchronicity manifested because in the article, Mr. Ni described a visitation dream in which he reached out to touch the face of his deceased friend! It’s a really good example of an afterlife dream communication which I invite you to read. It’s just one paragraph at the beginning of the article.

I was so amazed! Here I am, getting ready to write about the dream where I touched Robin’s face and I find the story of a person who had a very similar dream experience. I don’t remember previously reading this story in the past, so it was truly a surprise synchronicity for me at that moment. This is how spirit works and how Robin’s spirit showed up for me while I was writing. The synchronicity causes me to feel so encouraged with everything I do with this website!

Finding Mr. Ni’s dream story, at the exact time I was getting ready to write about my own similar story, gives more credence to my dream as being an actual visitation dream. It’s like I was being given even more validation while in the process of working on this post.

F.Y.I., in the post below, I wrote about another dream I had of Robin in which I experienced tactile sensations while giving him a hug.

Deceased Twin Souls Show Up in Message Dreams

The message dream I share below is also one I had about Robin during the summer of 2012, shortly after his death:

Robin is laying in bed and I am sitting in a chair right beside him. He is ill, like he was at the end of his life. He was the same age as he was at the end of his life, in his 60’s. We were quiet and no words were exchanged. I was just sitting there beside him, keeping him company. The bedroom was in a basement-like setting.

Have you seen a house where people renovate their basements so they have a bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen in it? That is common in the U.S. Well, that’s the kind of room it was like.

So, I’m sitting there beside Robin and then I look up to my left to the window that is above us. I see children running, laughing and playing outside. I watch them while I am sitting there with him. They were having a lot of fun.

The dream ends with me sitting there beside Robin, watching the children playing.

To me, this dream always symbolized new life or resurrected life because it included young children. I tend to rely on my own intuition for interpretation of my dreams. I have found over the years that when I read other’s interpretations, they often don’t fit or they have so many possible interpretations for one dream symbol that I don’t feel any more certainty after reading their suggestions.

Robin was ill in the dream and we were in the basement, which to me, symbolizes being at a low point in one’s life.

But then the dream shifted to children playing outside. I feel this dream was telling me his soul transitioned to a happier, more playful state in his new life. It was a message of endings and new beginnings combined in one dream. It reminds me of the lyrics from Robin’s song, Don’t Cry Alone: “Surely as the sun sets, New suns are rising…”

The dream also applied to me because my old life was ending. I was entering into a new life as well: one that included afterlife communication and a spiritual connection with Robin that I had not previously been aware of.

Afterlife Children at play

I consider this a message dream and not a visitation dream because it does not have the characteristics typically associated with visitation dreams. Since he was ill and older in the dream, that does not fit the typical visitation dream where loved ones are usually seen as healthy and restored to a younger age.

In this post, I wanted to show the contrast between the visitation dream and the message dream to convey the point that message dreams are still important and have a lot to offer. Just because a dream is not an actual visit from a deceased loved one does not mean it should be dismissed. There are still important things the Universe or a loved one may be trying to tell you symbolically. This message dream in 2012 made me feel like Robin was doing well and entering into a renewed state. This turned out to be true as I discovered over the years.

Looking at this dream from a perspective eight years after the fact, I am grateful for the powerful connection I had with Robin very soon after his passing. You may find that if you share a spiritual connection with a deceased loved one, they may contact you within a very short time after their passing, even if you did not know them while they were alive. Some loved ones feel no need to wait and will contact you as soon as possible if they are able and you are open to it.

In Closing: Day of the Dead Celebrations

On October 31-November 2, I offered Robin and my ancestors food and drink offerings and prayers for Samhain/Day of the Dead. I have come up with my own version of a celebration, blending three cultures: Celtic for Robin, African for my ancestors and Mexican because I love and respect how this culture honors their deceased loved ones.

Here is a picture of his altar from the evening of October 31st.

Robin Gibb

The green light is from a night light I keep at his altar which changes colors and gives a good artistic effect that I like.

I offered his spirit jasmine rice with a chick pea and spinach curry (he was a vegetarian), golden turmeric almond milk and a vegan shortbread cookie for desert. Everything was homemade by me.

I cook for my family almost everyday. My deceased loved ones, including Robin and my loving ancestors, are part of my family as well and I treat them as such. That is how I see them.

Years ago, I saw an interview with him and someone else saying they should get a curry together, but I can’t remember what video it was now. With that in mind, I made him this curry and I hoped he enjoyed it in spirit. This is the way I honor his existence and all he has taught me since 2012.

There are many ways to honor deceased loved ones during this period. You also do not have to wait for October 31st to give offerings to them. I do so all year around. Here are some websites that helped me arrange my celebration this year. You can apply these ideas to your relationship with your deceased loved one at any time:

  1. Libations for my African Ancestors
  2.  Celtic for Robin
  3.  Mexico-Day of the Dead (visually beautiful website by the way, and highly recommended)

I wish you all the best for a safe and happy holiday season! I know this has been a very tough year for so many people and I can only pray it gets better. My condolences to you if you have recently lost a loved one due to Covid 19 or any other illness.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate this holiday in the United States and around the world.

Afterlife Dream Communication: A Spiritual Salve

Afterlife Dream Communication: A Spiritual Salve

by | Jun 26, 2020 | Dreams, Synchronicity

I have had so many feelings circulating within me lately, it has been difficult to write here. There is so much pain and trauma in the world right now and as a Black woman, I have felt it acutely. I have had writer’s block and I didn’t quite know what to say here. So, I took a much needed break.

This post serves as my spiritual drain cleaner, getting the clog out, to help me get moving again. To begin doing that, I would like to pose these questions:

 What does afterlife communication with Robin have to do with a global pandemic that continues to worsen in many locations around the world, end lives, and disrupt the lives of many?

What does afterlife communication with Robin have to do with historical, systemic, racial trauma that keeps playing out like a broken record around the world?

It all comes down to being loved and supported by Robin’s spirit through afterlife communication during this time of very important social movements that I fully support and feel very encouraged by. I am not able to participate in the protests in my area due to Covid-19 concerns. Therefore, this post serves as my way of participating in the global protests. I have a lot to say.

While I participate in the protests in my own quiet way, I am deeply in need of the presence of my spiritual support team of which he is a part. Sometimes I can feel them holding my hand, guiding me and walking me through this planetary dark night of the soul. Having support from the other side is everything to me because it transcends the limitations of what people in physical bodies can do.

What Do Dreams Have To Do With It?

In April, during this pandemic, I had a dream about Robin. It was essentially about love and support. It was real and it was a visitation. It indicated to me that Robin’s presence is with me and that he does know what is going on here. Here is the dream:

 We are in my home. Robin is sitting down in a chair and I am there standing up right beside him where he is sitting. He looked like he did when he was in his 40’s with short hair which you can see here. He was not wearing glasses. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. I’m not aware of any other people being around.

 

From where he was sitting, Robin looks up at me and says, “I love you very much.” I said, “I love you very much, too.”

Then he looked around the room, raised up his right arm gesturing and communicated to me telepathically, not in words, about all the things going on in the world. He was referring to the pandemic. He looked concerned.

 

I smiled at him gently and nodded, communicating, “Yes, I know.” In the dream, I was surprisingly peaceful and at ease as I stood next to Robin, looking at him. I was aware of the problems going on, but I did not feel concerned about them.

 

That was the end of the dream.

This dream means so much to me. To be completely honest, I didn’t want to share it at first. I wanted to keep it to myself as the precious and private gift that it is. I don’t share every single communication I receive from Robin because many of them are subtle, pertain very closely to my personal life, or are too complicated to explain. So, since I’m sharing it, it is for a good reason.

It illustrates my point about what afterlife communication with Robin has to do with all of the things going on. It’s about still being lovingly soul-connected to our deceased loved ones in the midst of all the pain, chaos, and trauma on earth. It has to do with the healing energy people on earth can still receive through afterlife communication if we are open to it.

Black Lives Matter

No matter what we go through here, they are around us whether we are aware of it or not. They are aware of what is happening here. I am convinced of that. I hope that around the world, deceased loved ones are able to break through the layer of stress surrounding the earth plane to reach their loved ones and deliver an uplifting message of spiritual love.

The love that I exchanged with Robin in my dream comes from knowing each other in the spirit world, long before we reconnected at the time of his death in 2012. It is our soul energy that is very familiar to each other. As I have mentioned before, in 2012, around the time of his death, I strongly intuited that Robin is a member of my soul family from the spirit world. The communications I have documented on this website bear witness to that connection. I know my connection with Robin’s soul did not begin in 2012. I was awakened to and reminded of our connection in 2012.

It’s God’s love, Robin’s love, and my ancestor’s strength and love that keep me going during these very difficult times. I admit things are wearing on me a bit, living in this world. It’s one thing after another. Maybe you feel the same way at times.

What Do Twin Souls Have To Do With It?

Over the years, I have often read in twin soul/flame literature that one of the purposes of the twin connection is to “raise the vibration” of humanity. But what does that mean in a practical sense? “Raising the vibration” implies evolving to a higher level spiritually as a society, as a world community. Higher levels of spirit always pertain to love in some way.

But, how can we “raise the vibration” of humanity when we can’t even evolve past our homicidal impulses, obsessions, and prejudices around skin color? This is complete body-consciousness at the basest level, with absolutely no consciousness of the divine soul light of a God-created human being.

The moment a human is born into this life, he or she is rank-ordered according to their skin color. People will deny this, but some things are true whether you believe it or not… or whether you want to believe it or not.

If you have a lighter skin tone, in most countries of this world, you get to be at the top. If you have dark skin like I do, you get relegated to the bottom. No amount of sending love and light, holding crystals (which I happen to love), prayers, chanting mantras, and sprinkling pixie dust on things has changed this painful fact of life…for centuries.

It is far more painful for some of us than others. People are protesting in the streets right now because innocent people have lost their lives due to this “rank-ordering” according to skin color.

But this false hierarchy is something humans have created. It is not of God and it is not of love. In God’s eyes, nobody is at the top and nobody is at the bottom, and certainly not because of skin color which the Divine created in the first place.

To illustrate this point, I have a story to share with you. Close to 30 years ago, I dated a man from Germany. He was an exchange student in the U.S. working on his medical degree. I was working on my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and we met in a class we mutually attended. He is white, so we were an interracial couple. I was always open to dating men from different backgrounds before I was married because there are wonderful men coming from all different types of backgrounds.

One evening, as he was driving us home from a date, he looked over at me and said, out of the blue, “You’re at the bottom of the totem pole.” I looked him dead in the eye and said, “I’m not at the bottom of anyone’s totem pole.” He became silent after that. The comment really hit a nerve in me.

That relationship didn’t work out. No surprise there. But, I remember his comment very well. This notion of Black people being at the bottom is very well embedded into the collective psyche of this world.

I was working on an advanced psychology degree when my ex-boyfriend made that comment. He still saw me as being at the bottom because of my skin color. Really? I remember feeling, “What exactly do I have to do to no longer be stuck at the bottom?”

This is what I do: I don’t accept the totem pole at all, and I certainly don’t accept being relegated to the bottom of it just because I’m Black. I don’t accept any Black or Brown person as being at the bottom of some stupid, illusory totem pole and I don’t care what we do for work.

“Raising the vibration” of humanity means dismantling the foolish, racist, sexist totem pole. You can do that by actively choosing to treat all people with dignity and respect, not as invisible or inferior, no matter what their race, gender, and ethnicity is.

The question is, does humanity really want to dismantle it? Because that means true equality for each human being. It means to stop automatically seeing Black and Brown people as inferior and at the “bottom” because of our skin color. It is wrong and we are not going to stand for it. We are spiritual beings too. God created us too.

When you see BIPOC (Black and Brown, Indigenous, People of Color) out protesting, this is one of many reasons why: we have had enough of being viewed and treated as belonging at the bottom due to some supposed inherent flaw in our nature. Black people get the death penalty for the most minor of crimes…or even no crime at all. This isn’t right.

Are you surprised that we would rise up and fight against this? You shouldn’t be. Contrary to popular belief, we are not “professional victims”. Look at the picture of Dr. King at the beginning of this post. We had to do it in 1963 and we still have to do it in 2020. Social change and growth is cyclical. It’s coming around again because it was never dealt with fully in the first place. Mr. George Floyd’s murder was the last straw. It opened the floodgates of repressed hurt, anger and trauma that has been building up for years.

In my opinion, you cannot talk about twin souls, rays, and flames “raising the vibration of humanity” unless you are willing to acknowledge and do something on a personal level to help eradicate “isms” and phobias: Racism, Islamophobia, sexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, transphobia, and other spiritual and religious prejudices. There are always people who think that what they believe is better than other people’s faith. Some will even kill you because of this belief.

Saying “No More!”to these energies is part of raising the vibration of humanity whether you are aware of a twin soul connection or not. I feel like the clock has been ticking for a long time on these issues and time is up. We can’t eradicate all of this all at once, but we can chip away at it little by little.

Any twin flame authors that state that we can “raise the vibration” of humanity through unconditional love, without doing the hard work of rooting out the weeds of these pernicious “isms” and phobias are simply kidding themselves at this point and engaging in spiritual bypass. Humanity means just that: all of us, even those some consider undesirable, even those who are different from the people you are accustomed to.

Conclusion

This is all I can write for now. I’m going through my own process of healing a lifetime’s worth of racial trauma that I have not processed fully. The murders of African Americans in the U.S. stirred up a lot of pain within me. I have felt shell-shocked for several weeks now. It is disheartening that these events are occurring to such an extent that I felt the need to write about them here.

This post has served as a little bit of spiritual Drano, but unfortunately, there is still a lot of clog left that I have to deal with. Soul communication with Robin helps a lot though. All afterlife communication is soul communication.

I have written letters on behalf of Ms. Taylor, participated in virtual protests and donated money to help the cause of uplifting black lives. Still, I’m simply not at my best. I’m sure many of us are not. I hope you understand where I’m coming from. This year has just been a lot. I wish I could go back to June, 2019 for a moment to catch my breath. And I haven’t had it even half as bad as many people.

All my best to you until next time. I look forward to sharing more communications from Robin with you in the near future. Unless something changes and I have more to say, I plan to write a post once a month going forward.

Just know that he’s around in a vibration of love and aware of what is going on. That is my personal experience with him as I shared with you. If he were still alive here in the physical world, I feel very confident that he would be making a musical contribution of some kind that affirms Black Lives Matter.

Addendum

On June 26th, the day after I wrote this post and submitted it for publishing, and less than 24 hours after doing so, I received an amazing synchronicity.

I checked my email that morning and noticed one from a website called Word Genius. I did not subscribe to receive emails from this website. I started receiving them out of the blue on June 24th.

The interesting thing is that the word for June 26, 2020 is totem! Here is the link with the definition and some historical information.

For me, it is very affirming to receive this synchronicity. It leads me to feel that I am on the right track writing about the totem pole issues for my own healing and to make a contribution. It also affirms again that Robin’s spirit is with me in all of this.

I have always been amazed by synchronicity that connects back to Robin’s spirit so directly and within such a short time frame. I personally feel that there are loving, Universal energies supporting my connection with Robin. The synchronicity makes me feel so close to his spirit and I’m so grateful for that. This spiritual closeness has wonderful, lasting benefits. That’s what afterlife communication has to do with it!

Catch

Catch

by | Apr 19, 2019 | Dreams

When it comes to afterlife communication with Robin, I don’t always know exactly what’s going on. Most of the time, the messages are clear to me. But on other occasions, there is a bit of mystery at play, which I also enjoy.

Who says everything always has to be 100% clear cut? How can it be when you consider we are communicating across different planes of existence?

Even if I’m not always completely sure what’s going on, I still believe the stories are worth sharing with you because that is the way life is sometimes: not always clear. When things aren’t clear with afterlife communication, it leads me down a different path in my thinking, pondering the various fascinating possibilities.

If we’re honest, most of us engaging in afterlife communication with loved ones in spirit have situations arise that leave us scratching our head.

Now I will present to you one of those situations for me.

Playing Catch Dream

During the early morning hours of Monday, December 10, 2018, I dreamed that I was playing catch with someone. I don’t know who he was. He was young, perhaps in his 20’s. We were sitting on the floor playing catch. The ball was a soft plush ball and we were tossing it back and forth. It was something like this, usually used as a dog toy.

Then, the guy in the dream wanted to switch balls and use a softball. I said to him not to toss it too hard. But basically, he wanted to play catch with two ‘soft’ balls.

I like the symbolism of softness.

That was the end of the dream.

At lunch that day, I spoke with Robin about how I had this dream about playing catch out of the blue with someone I did not know. I spoke with him about this while sitting alone at his altar space. I said to him that I did not think it was him and I couldn’t recognize the person.

I mentioned it to Robin because it was unusual. I don’t play catch or think about playing catch, not that there’s anything wrong with it. I don’t have kids in my life to play catch with or a dog so where this dream came from, I don’t know.

During the next day, December 11th, I went shopping with Julian to a local big-box store. We were looking for the shortest line for the cashier. I was in one line and then Julian went walking over to the next registers to see if any were shorter.

When I looked over to him, he was standing there smiling, holding a rubber ball that was a little smaller than the size of a basketball. He told me the line over where he was, was shorter. I walked over and stood behind him.

He held the ball in his hand and said, “Do you want to play catch?”

I was pretty much waiting for him to say that. It all seemed so strange since I had just had the dream about playing catch the night before. I said yes and we stood there playing catch for a few moments while waiting in line. The kids in line behind us joined in for a little while. It was fun.

Julian did not know I had this dream about playing catch. I told him about it after our shopping trip was over. I thought it was a psychic connection with him.

We are not in the habit of playing catch at checkout lines! In the 20+ years I’ve known Julian, I don’t ever remember him doing that.

I told Robin about the dream, as I mentioned. But I’m not sure if he had anything to do with this game of catch or not, “channeling” through Julian. As I mentioned in other posts, Robin does communicate with me through him.

But this time, I could not detect whether it was Robin for sure. Still, I was suspicious and I still am.

Was he blending with Julian because I had told him the day before about the dream, and wanting to play catch as a way of communicating back to me? Was it a psychic connection between Julian and me? Or was it a combination of these 2 scenarios?

Sometimes with afterlife communication, you don’t know for sure what is going on.

Behavior of Twins in Spirit

This definitely got me thinking though because, according to Sal Rachele in his book Soul Integration, it is possible for twin souls in higher planes to have some of their energy in souls on earth.

Here is a brief excerpt from Soul Integration, explaining the point I am making:

“…oftentimes twin flame counterparts in the higher realms will “channel” through a number of different souls on Earth, and therefore, have some of their energy embedded into those various Earth-bound souls…” (Chapter 2- Soul Mates and Twin Flames, pg. 87).

“…Of course, the next best thing to meeting your twin flame would be talking to him or her through another human being who is acting as a channel or vehicle…” (pg. 87).

Talking to him or playing catch with him through another human being who just happens to be my husband. That’s pretty wild isn’t it!

This aligns with the information I previously shared with you, by author James Judd, in my post called Close to You.

Judd explained that a spouse can serve as a channel between a twin pair when one is in spirit and one is incarnate.

After what I have witnessed over the years, some of which I have shared with you on this website, I can confidently say that my husband often acts as a channel, messenger, or a vehicle for Robin. I think it is possible that was happening in this case of playing catch. Robin is quite capable of doing this.

Afterlife CommunicationsI don’t think it’s only Julian that Robin channels through, though. He connects with other people who are around me. For example, I wrote to you about the cashier who put his hand up to his ear on the same day I read about how Robin used to do that. I feel like that was Robin’s spirit coming through, unbeknownst to the cashier carrying on the jovial conversation with me. (See  blog post Maying in December for more information about this occurrence).

What I know for sure is my spirit was connected to both Julian and Robin through this event because I shared it with both of them. My soul was strongly connected with Julian by virtue of playing catch a day after I spoke with Robin about this dream. Maybe it’s that we needed a childlike sense of fun. We bought the ball because I wanted a keepsake of this beautiful, mysterious and unique occurrence.

Premonition Dreams

I have had a few other dreams in the past that came true in my everyday life, but it is not very often.

For example, during the summer of 2017, I had a dream about being at the eye doctor’s. I was sitting in the chair for an eye exam. The doctor looked at me and said “eye surgery.” That was the end of the dream.

At that time, I had been having no problems with my eyes whatsoever.

A few weeks after that however, I had a posterior vitreous detachment which means you develop flashes and floaters. This happened with my eyes out of the blue.

Other than that, I still had normal vision. It’s something that happens as you get older. I was very frightened at the time because I had never had anything like this happen before and never had problems with my eyesight. I didn’t know what was going on with my eyes.

I ended up going to see an ophthalmologist, which is an eye surgeon. But I did not need eye surgery. Other than this, I have very healthy eyes and over time, the flashes and floaters calmed down on their own. This is the typical result of a PVD.

Perhaps these dreams come from my soul, guardian angels, and spirit, letting me know in advance what is going to happen in a small, select number of cases. When I had these dreams, I had no idea they would come true in real life. Some may call them premonition dreams.

They seem to originate from the soul’s own inner wisdom and knowledge.

I think a lot of us are discounted and discredited to the point that we may believe that we don’t have this inner knowledge about ourselves. But we do. This knowledge may show up in your dreams or in other ways.

Connections with loved ones, incarnate and discarnate, may show up as well!

Perhaps over time, it will become even more clear to me, what was going on that day we played catch in the store.

Love,

Christina

Will You Wait for Me?

Will You Wait for Me?

by | Jan 31, 2019 | Dreams, Synchronicity

Writing for Paisley and Poppies is my solace. It is a process of healing, learning and discovery. I love how the events of life mysteriously unfold, blossom and give me the inspiration for each post.

My Dream

For this post, I would like to share something from my past.

During the fall of 2012, I had another important dream about Robin. I would like to describe this to you now:

I was in a public bathroom. Robin was in there with me. No one else was around. He looked young, like he was in his late teens. He was wearing a suit and tie.

 

Robin came out of the bathroom stall and started to walk out of the bathroom. As he was leaving, I said to him, “Robin?” He turned around and looked at me without speaking. I asked him, “Will you wait for me?”

 

He didn’t say anything, but turned to leave and walk outside of the bathroom. Then, I went into a stall, did what I needed to do, and then walked outside of the bathroom.

 

When I walked outside of the bathroom, Robin was sitting at a table to the left of the door waiting for me. The table was right outside of the bathroom. He looked up at me.

That was the end of the dream.

I had this dream several months after Robin’s death. At that time, I still didn’t quite know what was going on between us spiritually.

I loved him as a member of my soul family as I have previously written about.

By this time, I had already been experiencing strong synchronicity and had other visitation dreams about him and Maurice.

But, I was still puzzled about why I would be asking him to wait for me. At that point, I was asking myself questions like, “Why would I ask him to wait for me when we didn’t even know each other.” I still didn’t get it.  And, I was even more puzzled and confused about why I dreamt about us being in a public bathroom together.

One Million Years

A few weeks after my dream, in October, 2012, I received a Google alert for some of Robin’s music. The alert was sharing a YouTube video for his song, One Million Years. At that time, I had never heard of this song.

I had been busy at the time I got this Google alert and did not listen to it right away. I may have had this video in my inbox for a couple of weeks before I got to it.

When I finally listened to it, I received the shock of my life. I can still remember it to this day. The opening lyrics to the song are, “I’m dead…”

That hit me like a ton of bricks. The first time I heard that song was after Robin’s death.

Then, I heard the chorus, “I will wait for you…”

I was blown away and shocked because the lyrics reminded me of my dream of him a few weeks earlier, where I asked him if he would wait for me. I felt a powerful, personal message and afterlife communication with Robin from this song. I felt like he was answering my question in one of the most poignant and beautiful ways: through one of his songs.

I know he is waiting for me. It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given. At the time I had this dream, my mind didn’t understand it. But my soul understood and knew who he is to me. This dream came from my soul.

In the dream, I wasn’t asking about whether he would wait for me to come out of the bathroom, even though he did. It goes much deeper than that.

I was asking if he would wait for me while he’s in the spirit world. I was asking if he would wait for me and be there for me after I pass away. That is the real message and meaning of the dream.

I offer this quote from the book, Spirit Mates: Their Origin and Destiny; Sex-life, Marriage, Divorce, Oct 31, 2013 by James Martin Peebles to express how I truly feel about this connection with Robin’s spirit. I appreciate how Peebles is able to express this sentiment so precisely:

“So far as my knowledge extends, a belief in a future life, and a belief that the spirit mate awaits the coming of the counterpart, has produced the most salutary and exalted influences upon the mortal…” (1)

It is extremely comforting for me to know that life continues after death and that Robin is waiting. Through my experiences with Robin, I have also come to realize that I have others from my ancestral line and soul family waiting for me as well. I did not have this certainty and knowledge before Robin’s death. Being with Robin has helped me realize I have these other connections as well.

It has been incredibly beneficial for me to know this, especially when I experience difficulties connecting with people here in the physical world. I’m not solely dependent upon people in physical bodies. I have other loved ones in the Unseen too, and I know that they are here for me. They will be there for me when my time of passing comes.

Robin’s Dream Appearance

I would now like to mention another important detail about my dream of Robin.

In my dream, Robin looked just like he did in the One Million Years video.

I did not see this video before my dream, only after my dream. This is another amazing synchronicity about this dream. To me, it was meant to go together with his song. It was divinely timed so the dream and the song would occur within a close time frame of each other.

You also have to remember that in 2012, I was still just getting to know him because I had never followed him and knew nothing about him. Everything was new to me, including what he looked like throughout his lifespan.

Many things came as a surprise to me at that time because I was receiving afterlife communication at the same time I was learning about Robin and who he was as a person.

The synchronicity of my dream occurring in close proximity to the time I saw this video for the first time had an extremely strong impact on me. The impact still reverberates across time and affects me greatly to this day.  One Million Years is haunting enough on its’ own. Combined with the dream, it was really quite powerful.

Why the Bathroom?

Another thing that puzzled me about this dream was the fact that we were in a public bathroom together. Why the bathroom? I thought it was so weird that I would dream about that. That was until a few years later when I finally got the answer.

According to my source, the Bee Gees liked singing in bathrooms due to the strong echo effect:

“We used to look for public conveniences,” Robin added.

 

“We used to love singing in the toilets.”

 

“We used to go down to Lewis’ Department Store and sing in the gents’ toilet because of the echo,” Barry said.

 

“You couldn’t get echo anywhere else in your voice, and that was the place that was our favourite spot.” (2)

After I read this, I was convinced that this was why I dreamed about being in the public bathroom with Robin. That’s where he used to like to sing! I didn’t know that in 2012, so I was completely perplexed, and a little embarrassed, to be dreaming about being in the bathroom with him.

afterlife communications

I feel like I had connected with him telepathically on some level so that this information about bathrooms appeared in my dream state.

Loved Ones Waiting

Chicago Tribune reporter Barbara Brotman wrote about an experienced hospice nurse named Maggie Callanan. Nurse Callanan reported her experiences with patients who were close to death.  The article is called Striking Similarity of Dying Words, June 19, 2013.

Ms. Callanan reported that if patients were still able to speak as they got closer to death, they reported nearly the same events. They reported that they could see loved ones that died before them and that their loved ones were waiting for them.

What do you believe? What have your experiences been?

I firmly believe that those we loved and knew, as well as those we don’t know or remember, are lovingly waiting for us. And while they are waiting for us, some are able to interact with us in the physical world in the most life-changing of ways.

Robin has taught me that he, and other spirits, can still see, move/create things, speak, and hear us without having a physical body. He still exists as a highly intelligent, creative spiritual being. I have all the proof I need to know this is true.

Since loved ones are waiting for us in spirit, I believe that no one dies alone, even if it seems like it from our limited physical world view of things. For that, I am very grateful.

Love,

Christina
