Dream Visitation from Maurice Gibb in 2012
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 and 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 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….
One morning as I lay in bed, I asked Robin for a sign that he was there. 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 a grocery store, or radio, or even someone else’s radio I heard when driving down the road.
If I heard it, I would take that as the sign from him. 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 dreams of my life. In my dream, Robin’s brother Maurice, who is also deceased, came to me. In the dream we were in an empty room with beige walls, just the two of us. 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, so I’m sure that’s why it would be overwhelming. Why didn’t I ask for “Staying Alive” lol!
I was stunned. The implications of what had just happened boggled my mind. Our loved ones are real and still very much alive in spirit. Some are able to “hear” us in some way spiritually (I cannot speak for all) and respond clearly and intelligently.
For some reason, Robin was unable to come to me in my dream to let me know that he could not send me the song as a sign. Maybe he did not want to! But Maurice could. 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 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 hear 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.
Perhaps Robin asked Maurice to come and let me know he could not deliver that 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 within a matter of hours what the answer was. I never have heard the song that I requested as a sign unless I played it for myself. They really meant it-too overwhelming! I understand that now, but at the time, I was just becoming familiar with Robin and the Bee Gees’ music again and I did not realize that song would be difficult to manifest.
Maurice and I never met either but obviously I knew who he was because of pictures and being Robin’s twin brother. Yet here 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. I was left wondering how this happens and 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.
I have realized that it is very limiting to think of the physical reality as the only reality.
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. 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.
After all, afterlife communication is meant to be fun and based on loving one another.
Telekinesis is defined as the supposed inducement of movement of an object by a mental or spiritual power. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/telekinesis
The movement of objects by deceased loved ones is well documented in the afterlife communication literature.
I like this paragraph by Phil Mutz in the article, “9 Signs That a Deceased Loved One May Still be Nearby,” which explains telekinesis as afterlife communication well:
Objects being moved from where you left them and being put in your path can be a huge sign that a loved one is still nearby.
Many claim that particularly meaningful objects such as pictures or pieces of jewelry have been moved mysteriously. The belief is that these objects are being placed in your way as a way of letting you know that they are still with you.
These reports often mention that a person knew they left an object in a specific place, but that it had somehow moved.

In April of 2013, I started noticing little things being out of place around Robin’s altar. For example, the little aluminum tins that tealight candles come in were placed on the floor near his altar, which is something I would not do.
In May 2013, one year after Robin’s passing, he demonstrated amazing ability to move a picture of his that I kept on his altar.
Specifically, on May 21, 2013, one day after his passing date anniversary, I walked into my room and to my surprise the picture of Robin that I kept on his altar was not there. I exclaimed, “What happened to your picture?!” I looked around for a minute and then I found it on the floor, in back of the altar table, leaning against the table cloth. I was a little alarmed and wondered how that happened. At that time, I was not sure he moved it and thought maybe I knocked it off by accident in some way, even though logically, I did not see how. I was shocked and puzzled and though I had read that spirits can move their pictures, I was not sure, so I just put it back and left it at that. But that was not the end of it.
About 5 days later, on May 26, 2013, I walked into my room and this time his picture was turned upside down on top of his altar! I knew then that he had done it because that was twice that it happened within a short time period. I’m sure he moved it again because I was not convinced the first time. Those were the only two times in all the years I have had an altar for him that he moved his picture.
Here, I have included actual images of the picture Robin turned upside.
As you can see by the pictures, the frame is rotated. Originally, it had been facing front. So, it was not just tipped over. It was rotated so the frame was laying down in a different direction than it had been originally placed by me.
I’m very happy he did not knock over the cup of tea I left for him, lol!
I don’t have kids or pets that could do something like that and my husband had no knowledge of it. I know Robin turned his picture upside down on his altar and I was absolutely amazed that he could and would do that. He certainly got my attention by doing that and it truly lifted my spirits to know he was around. He was also deepening his connection with me from synchronicity to dreams to telekinesis.
More importantly, he was introducing himself to me as a spirit person who could do this. This set the stage for Robin beginning a very active period of telekinesis in my home. I believe he turned his picture upside down to identify himself so that in the future, when other events occurred, I would know it was him.
I had never had any kind of spirit activity in my home prior to Robin’s passing, so it was new for me. I felt like he was training me to be awake, alert and pay very close attention to my surroundings. He was there and had found me. It’s so fascinating how a deceased loved one can die in England and then end up in your obscure apartment in Colorado, especially when they did not know where you lived prior to their death!
I hope you enjoyed this story. There will be others!
As part of my afterlife communications with Robin, I pray for him every day. I send kind, warm energy to him to support him on his spiritual journey. During the summer of 2013, I decided to read a lovely Celtic prayer wishing him deep peace.
At that time, I did not know the name of the author of this prayer because the source I originally read it from did not mention it. I found out the author’s name years later, in 2017, in synchronistic fashion which I wrote about here.
I sat in front of the altar I created for him. I recited one line from this lengthy prayer, which was, “Deep peace, a soft white dove to you.” I sat at the altar for a few moments after that and then told Robin it was time to get on with my day, but I was open to any signs or messages he had for me. Little did I know that the one line prayer I just sent to Robin would be the catalyst for an amazing and beautiful sign of his presence.
Circumstances arose that day that led to me to clean up around our home. I started to remove some items from the top of our refrigerator which had become a messy storage area. As I moved items around, I discovered a tile I had made about 9 years ago.
On this tile was a white dove holding an olive branch in its mouth that I had painted all those years ago.
For a moment, I was stunned and awestruck as I stood in my kitchen and held this tile. I had this expansive feeling of childlike wonder at how I was guided to find this tile which was an exact mirror of what I had spoken to Robin in prayer just a few hours earlier. It was so amazing because I had not actually planned on cleaning the top of the refrigerator that day. Things came up that made it necessary to do so.
I had forgotten I had this tile; it had been so long since I’d last seen it. I must have put it on top of the refrigerator a long time ago, because I honestly did not like it all that much. But that day, Spirit did not seem at all concerned about the quality of my artwork. It was going to be used as a sign and synchronicity.
Loved ones in Spirit actually “hear” what we say to them. Obviously, it is not with human ears, but with another psychic sense acquired after death. Spirit was giving me back exactly what I gave to Robin to let me know he got my message. It was like he was saying, “Deep peace, a soft white dove to you too. Here’s your long lost tile!” My question is, “How did he know I had that tile?” It amazes me what loved ones in Spirit know about us. It’s actually incredible. It seems tied into some telepathic and psychic ability which is part of the divine intelligence. Someone that did not know you can get to know you very quickly and know all about your possessions. Through this synchronicity, I really did feel like Robin knew me.
Lesson: Loved ones in Spirit may be able to give you back what you give to them in your private thoughts and prayers to let you know they are with you and that they “heard” you. Circumstances during a particular day may guide you to exactly the object, song, writing, flower, etc., that matches what you said to them so you will have no doubt in your mind. When this type of synchronicity happens, it makes me wonder about how many of my choices are really my own and how many of them are divinely orchestrated, inspired and guided. I also came to realize that Robin, as well as our other loved ones, like to give us fun, amazing surprises to bring us happiness! It’s fun for them too, especially when we acknowledge, enjoy and appreciate what they give us.
Here is the Celtic prayer in its entirety. Enjoy!
Love,
Christina

When you are closely connected to the spirit of a loved one, it is nice to find a special way to honor them, other than with just normal day-to-day activities. October 31st is known as the date for Halloween, but it is also an important date for those belonging to Celtic cultures. Samhain (pronounced sow-en) is the Celtic Festival of the Dead. It is an important time to honor deceased ancestors and loved ones in spirit.
To celebrate Samhain, I decided to create a meal, say some prayers and recite some readings to honor Robin, his brothers and parents, my grandmother and other loving and close spirits from my ancestral blood line and my spirit line. I consider Robin a being of light from my spirit line. I followed the suggestions written about on this site.
It was suggested that you decorate an altar or table with pictures and items that are meaningful to your deceased loved ones. I set the table and included some pictures and candles. I also chose a plate with a paisley pattern to serve my loved ones’ meal on. I chose this plate in remembrance of Robin’s ancestors, William and Matthew Gibb, whom I learned about on Robin’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are, Series 8, Episode 7, 2011. William Gibb, Robin’s great-great grandfather, was from Paisley, Scotland and worked as a hand loom weaver, creating the well-known Paisley shawl. Matthew Gibb, Robin’s great-grandfather was born in Paisley in 1849. Several years ago, I found a beautiful paisley plate and since I knew the history Robin shared with Paisley, I bought it and kept it as a keepsake (see picture).
I also set the table with a RAF Bomber Command tea mug that I received as a present years ago.
It is decorated with poppies and this statement: “At the going down of the sun we will remember them.”
I thought that would be a wonderful addition to the table that Robin’s spirit would like (see picture).

I served a vegetarian meal of eggplant with red, yellow and green peppers, onions, tomatoes and some Parmesan cheese. I also baked some kale and served mint tea. For dessert, I made some shortbread or “soul cakes” for the occasion.
I followed the format of the link above, the ritual to honor the ancestors. I recited the prayers given and then I decided to make the ceremony more personal to me and my loved ones. I chose one of my favorite readings from a book called God Calling, by A.J. Russell. It very specifically addresses the importance of staying connected to loved ones in spirit and is one of my favorite passages in the entire book:
September 6 – Your Loved Ones
Your loved ones are very safe in My Keeping. Learning and loving and working, theirs is a life of happiness and progress. They live to serve, and serve they truly do. They serve Me and those they love. Ceaselessly they serve.
But their ministrations, so many, so diverse, you see no more than those in my time on earth in human form could have seen the angels who ministered unto Me in the wilderness.
How often mortals rush to earthly friends who can serve them in so limited a way, when the friends who are freed from the limitations of humanity can serve them so much better, understand them better, protect better, plan better, and even plead better their cause with Me.
You do well to remember your friends in the Unseen. Companying with them the more you live in this Unseen World the gentler will be your passing when it comes. Earth’s troubles and difficulties will seem, even now, less overwhelming as you look, not at the things that are seen but at the real, the Eternal Life…
I talked with my loved ones over this meal about how much I love and appreciate them and how I do remember them each and every day. I talked with them about the great memories they gave me and how what we shared makes me feel close to them still.
After this, I sat quietly at the table and then played some Bee Gees music. As I sat there, with the paisley plate and the poppy mug side-by-side, the title of this website came to me: Paisley and Poppies! I had not had a definite title before this moment. Every title I thought of seemed boring before this. Since both are important to Robin and reflect him well, I felt that it was a perfect title to honor his life.
Since Paisley and Poppies had never occurred to me until that moment, I decided to do a google search on it. I was so surprised when I saw the title of this book during my search and the synchronistic nature of it: The Power of Things Unseen: Tales of Choosing Crazy Over Normal (Oct 3, 2017) by Leanne R. Wood. This title matched the reading I just gave from God Calling, with the reference to friends in the unseen! Not only that, it had just been published earlier in the month of October. I had a very warm feeling that Robin was with me and very much aware of the celebration taking place to honor him and my loved ones.
The title of the book was not the only thing I found to be synchronistic and divinely orchestrated. I found a reference to both “Paisley” and “poppies” as well. Here is the excerpt from the book where the author mentions Paisley first and then poppies in the second paragraph. The “Paisley” she is referring to is Paisley, Scotland, where Robin’s ancestors are from:
“…And so in the fall of 1993, we spluttered along our way, out of Paisley and across Europe, to start our next adventure in a very old, green Land Rover that the girls had by now lovingly named Grover….”
“…On our fourth day of driving, just as we were chugging past fields crimson with poppies on our approach into Budapest, Grover sputtered and came to a complete stop…”
The reason why these sentences stood out to me as synchronicity is because the European context of the experiences she had while driving matched the exact context of Paisley and poppies that I was thinking about. She was not writing about a Paisley tie or socks! It was the actual country mentioned. Her writing about driving by poppy fields on her approach into Budapest reminded me of the sites where WWI took place. It was not just poppies in an American garden. The European context was particularly important to me here. Context is always important with synchronicity.
Another synchronicity I noticed is that a man named Murray is mentioned in her book, which synchronizes with the name of Faye Schindelka’s (author of the book Poppies from Heaven) brother Murray. Poppies in the context of another man named Murray is very meaningful for me. This is because one of the first synchronicities I experienced with Robin is connected to this book, Poppies from Heaven, which I wrote about here.
This series of synchronicity was so amazing and electric that I felt that our dinner had gone especially well. My heart was filled with love and gratitude for how Robin and my loved ones had shown up in this way.
I decided to close the ceremony with a beautiful Celtic blessing (see also post on the white dove synchronicity). I wanted to end with a blessing of the spirits I invited to be present and a deep thank you for their presence with me, watching over me.
I typed in my google search, deep peace of the running wave to you, because I knew that line was in the prayer I was looking for. I found a book called The Dominion of Dreams: Under the Dark Star (January 1, 1910), by William Sharp, London. Pg. 423-424. In this book, the prayer was expressed in its entirety, so I read it out loud to honor my spirit family.
The next day, November 1st, I browsed through this book again and noticed that the writing was so beautiful. I had never heard of William Sharp and was impressed with his use of imagery. As a result, did some more research on him and made the most amazing discovery: He was born in Paisley, Scotland!
Born in Paisley, Scotland- September 12, 1855
William Sharp was a Scottish writer of poetry and literary biography who, from 1893, wrote also as Fiona Macleod. He was born in Paisley and educated at Glasgow Academy and the University of Glasgow.
I was absolutely amazed that I found the book of the author, with the exact poem I was looking for, that was born in Paisley. This is a very precise synchronicity with my choosing the paisley plate for the Samhain ceremony to honor Robin and his ancestors. What an amazing connection and great timing.
It felt like I was being given a gift back for the dinner and love I showed Robin and my ancestors. It shows that our souls are closely connected, that there was a Divine Order to the ceremony that I did not know was occurring while I was participating in it. It is the magical nature of synchronicity that helps me to know I am being guided in each choice I make. My soul family members may be unseen, but they are very powerful and know exactly how to get through to me!
Thank you for reading.
Love,
Christina
Synchronicity and Poppies
On June 28, 2012, there was an unveiling of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, London to honor the WWII soldiers of the Bomber Command from England which helped defeat the Nazis. Robin was a great contributor to the creation of the memorial and was dedicated to seeing the soldiers honored. He did not live to see the unveiling, but it was a significant focus for him during the last years of his life.
I wanted to see if I could find a news story about the unveiling and I tuned into BBC news. I had seen a commercial for the upcoming story on the Bomber Command Memorial, so I just kept the television on, but on mute, and I did some research on afterlife communication so I could learn how to communicate with Robin better. I was still so new to this topic and took this opportunity to do a search.
I found several good websites and read a bit. Then, I came to a book called Poppies from Heaven, by Faye Schindelka, which is about a woman whose brother died on Remembrance Day, November 11th. Her brother used poppy lapel pins as a way of communicating with her. I read her website and some excerpts from the book while waiting for the Bomber Command story on BBC.
Finally the story came on, so I stopped my research. As I watched, the reporter talked about the memorial and what it represented. What happened next is something that made me not believe my ears. The reporter said that they were dropping poppies from a plane over the memorial to honor the fallen soldiers! I had to confirm whether I had heard correctly, that they dropped poppies from the plane, so I researched it online and found multiple stories and pictures of poppies being dropped from the plane.
My awareness became immediately heightened because it was two references to poppies within minutes of each other, both in the same context of veterans. Also, both references to poppies were connected to Robin, as I was watching the news story and studying afterlife communication because of him. I received an afterlife communication in the form of a synchronicity while studying afterlife communication!
This was a very significant communication that told me I had a strong connection with Robin, a little over a month after his death. I was very surprised by the mirror image of what I had read and then what I had seen on television, just short moments apart. It felt like the synchronicity was being orchestrated by a loving, unseen, guiding force.
At this time in 2012, I did not know about the association between poppies and war veterans. So all of this information about poppies was completely new to me. Amongst the people I knew in my life, poppies were never used in celebrating Veteran’s Day. We used other flowers. Now, because of my connection with Robin, poppies will always be important to me and a touching reminder of his presence.
I hope you will enjoy this story celebrating Robin’s dedication to the Bomber Command Memorial Campaign.
Here is the exact website that I found in 2012 to confirm that I had heard correctly, that poppies were being dropped from a plane, an RAF Lancaster Bomber.
Please enjoy Robin’s video where he discusses his vision of the memorial and shows us his knowledge of history.
