Introduction–Afterlife Communication Dream: A Visit with Maurice Gibb
During the summer of 2012, I had been vigorously studying books and websites on afterlife communication. A few of them said to ask your loved ones in spirit for a sign. It could be anything you could think of. I was new to this type of communication, so it really helped to hear from those more experienced on how you could connect with loved ones in spirit with a sign, specific or non-specific, simply by asking. The message usually was to go ahead and ask because they in spirit can do it. They can get the message to you, even if it’s not exactly what you asked for.
I think I took this advice to heart a little too much, as I was soon to find out….
Afterlife Communication: Request for a Sign
One morning as I lay in bed, I asked Robin for a sign that he was there. This was not too long after his death and I was already noticing that I had been synchronizing with his energy. I asked to hear his song “Another Lonely Night in New York” as the sign. It didn’t matter where I heard it.
It could be in a grocery store or even someone’s radio I heard when driving down the road.
If I heard it, I would take that as the sign from his spirit that he was present with me. I thought that by being open to the different ways the song could manifest, I was being helpful by being open.
I was wrong about that.
After I made my request, I fell back asleep. I then received one of the most amazing afterlife communication dreams of my life.
My Dream Visit with Maurice
In my dream, Robin’s twin brother Maurice, who is also deceased, came to me. Here is my description of the dream:
In the dream we were in an empty room with beige walls, just the two of us. He was sitting in a chair and dressed in his black outfit like he used to wear when he was alive. I was standing next to him. I asked Maurice, “Where is Robin?” He answered, “What you want is overwhelming for him.”
Next, we stood there looking at each other for a few moments. In the dream, I remember feeling like I was confused about what he meant. The dream ended with me saying to Maurice, “Hugging you is like hugging Robin.” We gave each other a hug and then he was gone. The dream was over.
When I woke up, I clearly remembered the dream, but I was confused about what Maurice meant at the time, still groggy from sleep. I lay there in bed and pondered, “What I want is overwhelming for him. What do you mean?” Then the light bulb went off in my mind and I remembered that right before I went to sleep, I had asked for a sign, the song “Another Lonely Night in New York.” Maurice came to me in my dream to tell me that it was too overwhelming for Robin to send me that particular song as a sign.
It figures that of all the Bee Gees songs, I would choose that one!! I really like it, but it’s not played on the radio much, so I’m sure that’s why it would be overwhelming. Why didn’t I ask for “Staying Alive” lol! That would have been much easier for him I think.
Implications of My Dream Visit with Maurice
I was stunned by my connection with Maurice. The implications of what had just happened boggled my mind. Some deceased loved ones, even ones we never met or knew, are able to “hear” us in some way spiritually (I cannot speak for all) and respond clearly and intelligently.
For some reason, Robin did not come to me in my dream to let me know that he could not send me the song as a sign. But Maurice did. Somehow, Maurice got the message to come tell me what Robin could not, perhaps because he was still adjusting to his new life in Spirit. Robin had been very sick with cancer before he died and I could see how he could have needed some time to heal. I had asked for this sign within a couple of months of his death, so it would make sense that he was still adjusting. Maurice had been deceased for about 9 years.
It seems as though Maurice was sent as an emissary to me to let me know that, no can do, Robin cannot send me the sign I asked for. But here’s the clincher:
Maurice coming to me in my dream to let me know that what I wanted was overwhelming IS the sign! How amazing and loving of Robin and Maurice to let me know they heard my request, but sorry, Robin can’t do it. I was shocked by this visitation by Maurice and the fact that he could perceive me. This told me that Robin and Maurice are together in Spirit. I think Maurice heard me because he is together with Robin, which of course, one would expect.
Maurice is Robin’s truest twin.

Perhaps Robin asked Maurice to come and let me know he could not deliver that particular sign. Maybe Maurice came on his own, having heard my request, and knowing Robin was unable to send me the sign I asked for, came to tell me himself.
An important note is that Maurice co-wrote this song with Robin, so it is his song too! Either way, I know Robin received my request that day and cared enough to let me know he couldn’t do it, even if he had to send Maurice.
I am still in awe of this, what I would call, 3-way Spirit communication: me in the physical realm and Robin and Maurice in the spirit realm. They received my request and let me know very quickly what the answer was.
I never have heard the song that I requested as a sign just playing randomly somewhere. They really meant it–too overwhelming!
I understand that now, but at the time in 2012, I was just becoming familiar with Robin and the Bee Gees’ music again and I did not realize this song would be difficult to manifest.
Maurice and I never met either but I knew who he was because of pictures and being Robin’s twin brother. Yet there he was, face-to-face with me in my dream, addressing what I had asked his brother.
It was so interesting to meet Maurice in a dream like this and I cherish it to this day. I was left wondering how this happens. Where were we? Some say we visit the astral plane during our sleep time and this is where we can rendezvous with deceased loved ones.
This dream helped me realize that it is very limiting to think of the physical reality as the only reality.
Was it Really a Dream?
Psychic medium Blair Robertson, in his article, “Visitation Dreams: How to Know for Sure if They Are Real,” states that his spirit guides told him that we don’t actually “dream” of our deceased loved ones. Dreams have different characteristics than visitations from deceased loved ones.
He calls them “sleep connections” instead of dreams because while deceased loved ones do come to us when we enter the dream state, what we experience with an actual visitation with a deceased loved one includes much sharper and more vivid details than a regular dream. You will be left with the impression of complete and utter certainty that you were with your loved one.
This is exactly how I feel about my experience with Maurice, so much so that even over 9 years later, I can remember the visit perfectly. There is no question in my mind that I was actually with Maurice for a brief time.
You don’t have to have known the person while they were alive for this to happen in terms of receiving a visitation from them. People need to stop thinking that spirits only communicate with people they knew when they were alive. It simply is not true. If they have a message for you, they will visit whether they knew you or not. I wrote about this here:
Afterlife Lesson
Go ahead and ask your loved one for any sign you want, big or small, subtle or in your face. Just realize they reserve the right to say “no” if they can’t do it, just like we in the physical realm have the right to tell someone “no” when something asked of us is too overwhelming for us to do. And they may let you know! I think this is very important for those of us in the physical realm to realize. I did not know this myself and I appreciate Robin and Maurice so much for letting me know.
I have learned that they still love us even if we ask too much sometimes. Loved ones in spirit are very forgiving and I’m sure they understand spirit communication is as new to us as it is to them. But once they say they can’t send a specific sign, I respect that and open to other ways they want to communicate. Every sign is a blessing and a miracle whether you got the specific one you asked for or not.
Every day, I specifically invite signs, symbols, messages, communications and synchronicity to come into my life, but most of the time I leave it up to Robin or my other loved ones the particular details so they can have fun and surprise me.
The master key for afterlife communication is surrender and letting go. You can ask, but you can’t control it. Good luck with that!
After all, afterlife communication is meant to be fun, informative, and based on loving one another.
Thank you so much for reading about my communication with Maurice.
Love,
