Twin Soul Synchronicity

by Christina | Jun 26, 2021 | Synchronicity, Twin Souls

This post is a republished version of the original post called Afterlife Communication: Levine Synchronicity. Some updates have been made. I hope you enjoy it!

For this post, I have a powerful twin soul synchronicity and life parallel with Robin to share with you. We’ll be taking a journey back to the past, about nine years ago.

Twin Soul Synchronicity: Introduction

To begin, I would like to say that to me, twin souls are not souls split in two, or being half of a soul that is incomplete without the other. I don’t buy into the notion that we are incomplete souls until we find some other “half.”

Twin souls are whole souls that vibrate at a nearly identical frequency of spiritual light with nearly identical hues. They are from the same soul group. No two souls are exactly the same. But there are souls with whom we share a very close, even nearly identical vibrational resonance with. This is how I see my connection with Robin. This is based on information I was given through synchronicity which I shared in my background section.

If you disagree with how I see twin souls, I respect that. I’m sure you have very good reasons for believing what you do, just as I have very good reasons for believing what I do.

I don’t have all of the answers and I never will. I am a twin soul student, not expert, which is what I love being. I can only go by the information I am given for my particular spiritual journey. Yours may be different.

It is important for me to be clear with my readers about how I see it at this point. With that said, I am a growing and evolving soul and my perspectives about twin souls could change over time. But for now, this is how I feel.

Now, I’m ready to share today’s story!

Common Threads

In 2012, I was just getting to know who Robin was as a professional singer and a person because I had not been following his career prior to his death. I spent time looking at different pictures of him over the years to see what he was like at different stages.

On September 3, 2012, I emailed to myself four photos of Robin that I wanted to keep.

Later in the day when I looked at the email of the photos I sent to myself, I noticed that one said “© Steve Levine-2005” in the bottom left hand corner. I was surprised because I hadn’t noticed it before in the flurry of looking at so many pictures. There are only a million or so pictures of him online, lol! Also, the print was a little small.

Here is the picture of Robin I am talking about from the website famousfix.com: (1)

All joking aside, this was very important to me. I thought to myself that Robin and I have a “Steve Levine” connection because one of my favorite authors is Stephen Levine.

The late Stephen Levine (1937-2016), has been very important in my life. He was one of the world’s most beloved grief counselors. Even though I never met him, he felt like a father figure to me.

I have had a very strong connection to Stephen Levine’s writings since 1993 when I was studying clinical psychology. A colleague of mine introduced me to his books. He wrote in a way I had never seen before. I found him incredibly insightful on a personal and professional level.

When I first met my husband Julian, we read his book called Healing into Life and Death together. I shared with him how important this book was to me. It was helping me to touch the painful areas in my life with loving kindness instead of fear. He listened and even made some notes in my book when we had first started dating.

I mentioned in my background section, how I had a ceremony for Robin on June 8, 2012 and read from this book.

Here is some more information about Stephen Levine from Wikipedia.

So, on September 3, 2012, I pondered how Robin had a photographer named Steve Levine and how I was connected to beloved author and counselor Stephen Levine. It was a nice parallel and common thread that ran through our lives.

After Death Connection Through Synchronicity

Right after I was done looking at his photos and logging off of my email, I decided to watch a video on YouTube called BBC Learning-Previous Lives. It is a documentary about reincarnation, past life regression therapy and past life research. I had never seen it before.

As I watched the video, I received one of the more shocking synchronicities I had experienced with Robin at that time. It’s still one of the strongest communications I have ever been given and is very meaningful to me.

At approximately 7:00 in to the video, an ear, nose and throat doctor named Dr. Steven Levine appeared on the screen. Here is a screen shot of the video below:

Dr. Steven Levine

This was an incredible, amazing synchronicity that truly made me feel very connected to and one with Robin’s spirit. I felt a little bit like I was in the twilight zone with this one. This synchronicity occurred about 3 ½ months after Robin’s passing. At that point, I did not know we were twin souls, so I was thinking, “What is this thing with Robin?” My husband was freaked out by this as well and thought it was kind of spooky, lol!

In that moment, my twin soul connection with Robin manifested in the fact that we are/were both connected to men named Steve or Stephen Levine. The timing of these events in close proximity with each other is significant and what makes it so remarkable. The documentary with Dr. Steven Levine brought it all together, strongly emphasizing this connection.

Levine Grief Work

Steve and Stephen Levine were/are both connected to the issue of grief and doing something to heal it.

I already reviewed the Stephen associated with me.

The Steve associated with Robin, Steve Levine, is a music producer who produced the song, Grief Never Grows Old for the One World Project created to raise money for the 2004 Asian Tsunami relief effort.

Here is the song.

After all these years, I found out about this association of Steve Levine with the song, Grief Never Grows Old on August 17, 2019. When I first saw this picture of Robin in 2012, I thought he was Robin’s photographer and never looked into it any more.

It was only when I decided to write this blog post and do a lot more research on Steve Levine that I found out about how he does not only have a similar name to Stephen Levine. Both are associated with the topic of grief. The matching is truly incredible.

It just goes to show you how multi-layered afterlife communication can be. It could potentially take years before you get the complete message and synchronicity connected to your deceased loved one.

Robin and Past Lives

Since the twin soul synchronicity occurred through the context of a documentary on reincarnation, I think it was meant to get me to think more about this. I certainly believe reincarnation is possible, even highly likely, but I don’t understand how it really works. It seems a bit confusing to me to have 1000’s of incarnations on Earth, which is what some cultures believe.

Has Robin had past lives? His ex-wife Molly seemed to think so. I would like to share this quote from her from the book, Bee Gees: The Authorized Biography by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb (as told to David Leaf). Of all the things I have read about Robin over the years, I think this is one of the most interesting and insightful comments. The bold is mine:

All the years I’ve known him, it’s always seemed to me that it has been a race with time. Which was so crazy. He was seventeen when I first knew him. Yet then, it was sort of as if he’d lived a lifetime, and time was running out. I’ve always felt that some part of him is suffering a great deal. Almost as if he’s lived before. There’s something he draws his lyrics from, draws his force from, that is very much a part of him that nobody else can get into. The things that he draws his lyrics from are so deep and so meaningful and so hurtful as well, as if there’s been a great pain there. (2)

It is so interesting how she connected his suffering to a past life. There was so much more to him that only those closest to him could witness.

His brother Barry made a similar comment about him in terms of his sadness. I quote from the book, Tragedy-The Ballad of the Bee Gees by Jeff Apter:

Robin was an absolute dichotomy: he was two extremes. He could be the funniest man you’ve ever known, or the saddest man you’ve ever known. That was his gift; some of the great songs he came up with came from this sadness (3)

Upon reading these passages, one of the first things I thought of was his song, One Million Years, which he recorded when he was only 19 years old.

Here are some links to the video:

Of all the songs he sang and wrote, this one is still one of my favorites and most moving. I read the lyrics from time to time and wonder how he was able, at the age of 19, to write a song of this magnitude of such depth and loss. Where did the lyrics come from? They surfaced from somewhere deep within his soul.

In this song, he is singing about an afterlife communication, the deceased informing the one living that they will wait for them for one million years. It is a loss so deep and hurtful that they are willing to wait that long. It is a true soul mate song on a deep spiritual level.

When I was 19, topics like this were not even on my radar. But they were on his radar and he set these sentiments beautifully to music. If anyone could make sadness and loss sound beautiful, it was Robin.

Is One Million Years a glimpse into one of Robin’s past lives? Was he singing about his own death and loss of a marriage partner from a previous lifetime? I don’t know and will probably never know while I’m alive. But his ex-wife’s comment definitely got me thinking of that possibility.

He could have put his past-life loss, separation, and sadness into this song in his incarnation as Robin. If musicians have had past lives, it makes sense to me that they could be unconsciously connecting with a lifetime and channeling that into their music in their current lifetime. I think it is interesting to look at things from this perspective even if I can’t prove it because it takes things to a deeper level.

Conclusion

Twin soul synchronicity is very profound, especially when it is new to you and especially when it is occurring so strongly with someone you never met. I did not know exactly what was going on and why when this all started in 2012 after Robin’s death. That is how I felt when I received this synchronistic message. Back in 2012, it led me into a much deeper and evolving journey of discovery in terms of the nature of my connection with his spirit.

I have built a narrative on this website showing our spiritual connection. So, I hope you can see why, by December of 2012, I was asking in prayer if Robin is my twin soul.

The synchronicity I just presented to you is one of many situations that led me to ask for an answer to this question. It was a lot to figure out on my own, so I sought help from God, which for me, is the best place to look for help. I have come to view the synchronicity as signs and symbols of our connection.

I did not know anyone I could trust in the physical world who could assist me and who would not judge me. So, I am always grateful to God, the Universe, and Robin for making the truth of our connection so clear.

I hope you enjoyed this post about how twin soul synchronicity can manifest. I present these stories to give examples so that if you are experiencing something similar, you might want to consider whether you are experiencing a twin soul connection too.

Thank you for joining me here. Until next time, take good care!

Robin and Strauss

by Christina | Apr 17, 2021 | Synchronicity

Robin Gibb Inspired by Strauss

For this post, I have the pleasure of writing about a music education journey I have been on. It involves Robin and Strauss, or more specifically, classical composer Johann Strauss II and how his musical compositions likely inspired Robin and the Bee Gees to write their famous song, ‘I Started a Joke.’

This journey involves mysterious synchronicity which kept pointing to Strauss, so I felt the guidance to follow this connection to see where it was going to take me. Robin really took me to school on this one, so I hope you enjoy it! He doesn’t let me rest on my laurels, but it is really fun and I enjoy it so much.

Robin and Strauss

During the early morning hours of Feb. 22, 2021, I read the book Tragedy-The Ballad of the Bee Gees by Jeff Apter. I was reading it to connect with Robin’s spirit. Due to the fact that I have already read two books about the Bee Gees cover to cover, this book is one I just skim through periodically because a lot of the information are things I’m already familiar with.

So, as I flipped through the pages, I came across a story about an interview with Don Pietro, an American radio DJ at the time, who asked the Bee Gees about the meaning behind, ‘I Started a Joke.’ According to the book:

Robin recalled how he was on a Viscount plane and the roar of the engines reminded him of a Strauss composition, ‘and the tune came to me.’ After a nervous pause, Barry added, ‘With a lot of our songs, you need to make your own personal meaning, read into them what you want.’ (1)

This story about Robin being inspired by a Strauss composition was news to me. I found it fascinating that he heard this composition in the roaring of an airplane engine. That’s how the minds of musical geniuses work.

I started my own joke with Robin and asked if he had heard music in the whirring of a fan or swooshing of a clothes washing machine too! The Bee Gees created ‘Jive Talkin’ from inspiration from the sound of driving over a bridge in Miami, so why not! 🙂

Anyway, I folded the page over so I would come back to it later. I wanted to look more into Strauss’ music because I was not familiar with it.

Pottery Leads to Strauss

The next day, on Tuesday, Feb 23^rd, my husband informed me that there was a second season to the pottery show I like on HBO MAX called “The Great Pottery Throw Down.” I finished the first season and loved it because I used to throw pottery as a hobby. If he had not told me there was a second season, I would not have known…and I would have missed the sign I’m about to write about.

On the first episode of the second season, one of the contestants mentioned that the inspiration for a 16-piece dinner set he was going to make was Richard III’s Yorkist rose which was a ‘white rose’ and Harry Tudor who was a ‘red rose.’ One of the judges mentioned that the contestant was representing “The War of the Roses” through his pottery.

The narrator said this contestant had a passion for history. This reminded me of Robin and his passion for British history which he talks about in this video:

When I heard The War of the Roses mentioned, it immediately jogged my memory about a book I bought and read years ago in 2016 called, All You Need is Love, by Jewelle St. James. I remembered that The War of the Roses was mentioned in this book.

This book has been very important in my journey of discovery with Robin. It is about her past life and spiritual connection with John Lennon of the Beatles. I could see many similarities between her story and mine because for both of us, our spiritual connections were triggered when they died.

She found herself having deep feelings of grief after John Lennon died even though she had not been following him at all. I found myself having a similar sort of grief even though I had not been following Robin’s career. I share this quote about how she felt after she found out he was shot in New York to illuminate this point:

My thoughts were erratic. New York … why didn’t I find that out … before it was too late? Why haven’t I been paying attention to where he has been? Inexplicable feelings of grief, desperation, and loss washed over me, leaving me drained and confused. (2)

I felt exactly the same way after Robin had died. I had thoughts like, “Why did I lose track of them (The Bee Gees)? Why wasn’t I paying attention? Why didn’t I go to a concert while I had the chance?”

It was the grief of missing his entire life. This made no logical sense at the time, but since then, I have come to understand this grief more fully.

So, after I heard The War of the Roses mentioned on the pottery show, I paused it and got up right away to see if I could find the passage in this book about The War of the Roses. My recollection was correct and I found the exact passage.

After I read this, I began to think of something else I read in this book years ago. It was about how Jewelle’s daughter, who has psychic abilities, told her that it was her job to help people remember John Lennon and his music. I decided to look for this quote as well, which I found easily through my tablet search function.

I read this passage first which was at the bottom of this page. After I finished, my eyes traveled to the beginning of the page.

To my surprise, there was a mention of Johann Strauss!

This was not something I had remembered because as I mentioned, I had not read this book since 2016. I thought to myself, “I’m syncing up with Robin again.” It felt like a beautiful connection because I absolutely love connecting with him around subjects that have to do with his music.

Here is the quote about how John Lennon had been spiritually assisted by Johann Strauss during his career. It is Jewelle’s daughter that is giving her the information because according to the story, John Lennon’s spirit contacted her:

“John had a teacher who had always helped him with his music. Through this teacher he has grown to love waltzes.” “Does this teacher have a name?” “Johann.” My mind raced. Waltzes … Johann … “Is this Johann Strauss?” I asked.

Joanne paused for a minute, then said, “Yes, Johann says that’s how people knew him.” The girl looked puzzled. “Mom, who is this Strauss guy?” “A man who wrote beautiful music …” I trailed off, not knowing what to think, yet feeling a sense of overwhelming awe. (3)

Well, I felt awe too after just reading about Robin’s connection with Strauss the night before in the Bee Gees’ book. So, this whole thing with the British pottery show and British history took me right back to Strauss…and Robin. It was nice to see this connection between some of the things he loved.

Strauss for the Third Time

A couple of days after the synchronicity I mentioned above, I was reading a book I had just purchased called, Twelve Steps to Heaven: Introducing Twin Flames, Angels and Soul Wisdom by Jayne Chilkes. Her writing on twin flames is very beautiful and I strongly resonate with it. If you are interested, you can read it beginning on page 111 in the Afterword in the link I provided above.

I have a habit of flipping through books when I first get them. As a result, I came across a mention of Strauss again, for the third time within a handful of days. Mind you, I never hear about Strauss in my day to day life.

I usually listen to Mozart if I’m going to listen to classical music, so seeing Strauss come up this often within such a short period of time was noteworthy.

Here is the brief quote where Jayne Chilkes’ spirit guide is telling her about the music he likes:

“…Classics, mind you, I do not like this modern stuff, no, but the music where there is the melody from the heart. I am very fond of this. I was not quite so struck by the Strauss Brothers-very good-, but they did not move me like the Russian Rachmaninoff….” (4)

Well, to each his own. The main point I noticed was Strauss showing up three times and how his sentiments matched Robin in terms of singing from his heart.

Signs and the Rule of Three

This appearance in this book was the last time ‘Strauss’ showed up in my life spontaneously. But, this really got my attention because I have read over the years to pay attention when signs show up in threes.

According to a website called Psychic Elements, there are reasons “3” is important when it comes to signs and messages:

Its simplest and most obvious reason is that one time is random, twice could be coincidental, but three becomes a pattern. So, for example, if you heard a certain book mentioned on TV, then read a reference to it on Face Book, and then someone you knew casually dropped it into a conversation, maybe you should take a look at it – it may contain important information for you.

When something appears on your radar three times in a short space of time, then it will have significance for you. If you can’t quite work out what that meaning is, just wait a little. In the meantime, journal about it, mull over it and let it percolate through your consciousness. Writing about the signs, and allowing your thoughts to land on the paper is a wonderful way to open up your intuition to possibilities. (5)

I did what she said in terms of mulling over the synchronicity with Strauss because I did not quite understand why he was showing up so much all of a sudden. I did some additional research to see if I could come up with some answers. This led me to deeper insights about the song, ‘I Started a Joke.’

Which Strauss is It?

In the quote I mentioned above, Robin said that the airplane engine sounded like a Strauss composition which inspired the tune for ‘I Started a Joke.’ But during my writing and research for this project, I discovered that there are several classical composers named ‘Strauss,’ including Johann Strauss I, Johann Strauss II and his brothers Josef and Eduard Strauss. There is also another composer named Richard Strauss who is unrelated to the others.

So, even though I thought he was talking about Johann Strauss II at first, I thought to dig a little deeper to see which composer he was most likely talking about.

I did a little more research on ‘I Started a Joke,’ this time on Wikipedia. I found this noteworthy quote of Robin’s about this song:

According to Robin Gibb, the melancholic melody of the song was inspired by the sounds on board an aeroplane:

The melody to this one was heard aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount about a hundred miles from Essen. It was one of those old four engine “prop” jobs, that seemed to drone the passenger into a sort of hypnotic trance, only with this it was different. The droning, after a while, appeared to take the form of a tune, which mysteriously sounded like a church choir. (6)

In the first quote from the Tragedy book, he said the airplane engine sounded like a Strauss composition. In this Wikipedia quote, he said it sounded like a church choir.

So, now I’m confused. What happened to Strauss?

I decided to look into Richard Strauss a little more. His work with symphonic poems sounded beautiful, and something Robin would have liked, but there was no mention of church choirs associated with him.

So, I went back to studying Johann Strauss II and saw that he did have a connection to church music as you can see in the quote below from naxos.com:

The report in the Allgemeine Wiener Musik-Zeitung confirms beyond doubt that a piece of church music by the younger Johann Strauss was played on 4 August 1844 in Vienna’s Kirche Am Hof (known also as “The Church of the Nine Choirs of the Holy Angels”).

…Strauss’s composition was given in an a cappella (i.e. unaccompanied) choral performance – or, at most, with organ continuo – and that the version for wind ensemble was first heard at another event, perhaps in the open air…. (7)

I put two and two together and hypothesize that ‘I Started a Joke’ was inspired by the airplane engine that sounded like the church choir music of “the younger Johann” who is Johann Strauss II.

On August 4, 1844, Johann Strauss II was 18 years old. Robin was 18 years old when ‘I Started a Joke’ was recorded on June 20, 1968. Both of them showed genius level musical talent at a very young age. It seems that 18-year-old Robin was inspired by 18-year-old Johann Strauss!

The Whole World

Another thing I noticed from the naxos.com article was the text of Strauss’ church music/choral work- Graduale: Tu qui regis totum orbem. This means “Thou who rulest the whole world.”(8)

I see the lyrics for ‘I Started a Joke’ here:

I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn’t see, oh no
That the joke was on me, oh no

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I’d only seen
That the joke was on me

In writing this song, did Barry, Robin and Maurice gather inspiration from the text of Strauss’s choral work, including the words, “the whole world?” I may never know, but I can’t help noticing the glaringly obvious exact match.

Since Robin heard the church choir music of a Strauss composition in the airplane engine, maybe he knew about this text and it helped inform the lyrics to the song.

The graduale Tu qui regis totum orbem (1844) was the only sacred work Johann Strauss II ever composed and perhaps Robin knew of it for this reason.

Conclusion

After this close examination, I surmise that the answer to “Which Strauss is it?” is Johann Strauss II. As for why I got Strauss in threes, I feel like Robin wanted me to learn more about the inspirations for his songs, which is in essence learning more about him.

And if I can help remind people of how truly gifted he was in terms of how his mind worked musically, then all the better. He doesn’t need my help in any way in this regard. I know millions of people remember and love him and his gift. It’s just nice to give a shout of praise on his behalf when I can because I love him too.

I hope you enjoyed this journey with Robin, Strauss and me. Until next time, take care.

Afterlife Gifts: A Spiritual Social Network

by Christina | Mar 7, 2021 | Synchronicity

Afterlife communication is all about ongoing energetic connections with our deceased loved ones. We can keep our connections and relationships alive even after death. I feel strongly that deceased loved ones, Robin included, love this interplay with us who are still embodied. It was made clear to me that he still wants to interact and communicate from his home in spirit.

It seems to me that gifts from deceased loved ones can be given through the spiritual social networking medium called synchronicity. It’s actually a way they can offer gifts that show up in physical form even though they are disembodied.

To reinforce this point, Kevin Williams, in this article reviewing the after death communication work of Bill and Judy Guggenheim (authors of Hello from Heaven: A New Field of Research), states that:

…most people intuitively recognize their sign right away and feel it was intended just for them. Some people report they were sent a sign spontaneously as a gift…(1)

This quote is true for me on a very personal level. In this post, I would like to share a story about being sent gifts that connect with Robin’s energy in specific ways. It involves a t-shirt, stamps, and variations of his surname.

Afterlife Gifts: Poppy Valentine

Around the last week of January, 2021, my husband received a package in the mail. It was from Poland. I noticed the stamps on the package. They looked like poppies. That got my attention quickly for obvious reasons.

I told my husband about the package and he told me that the poppy stamps were a synchronicity because the package was a valentine’s gift for me. But, he didn’t want to tell me what it was because it was a surprise. That got me curious, but I had to wait until February 14^th!

So, on Valentine’s Day, I finally got to open it. He got me a Bee Gees t-shirt printed with the album cover art from, “Idea.”

He said he chose it because it was very unique. Here it is. I have come to love collecting Bee Gees t-shirts that are not very commonly seen:

Then I understood why Julian said it was synchronistic that the t-shirt was delivered with poppy stamps: it connected right back to Robin and this website. Receiving this made me feel his presence so strongly.

I wanted to make 100% sure that the stamps really were poppies, not just flowers that looked like poppies, so I did some research. The stamp said “Polska” on it, so I typed “Polska poppy stamp” into google. The exact image of the stamp I have came up. Here is the stamp:

I clicked on a link provided with the image to get more information. It confirmed that it is a poppy. I like to have proof in writing, especially when it comes to afterlife communication. Here is the link and a screenshot with additional information from the stamp catalog:

I couldn’t help noticing that there is a variation of Robin’s last name there with “Gibbons.” I thought that was extra fun to add to the poppy stamp afterlife gift even though I had no idea who Stanley Gibbons was.

I have written about how a variation of “Gibb” once showed up on a $20 bill I was given for change at a grocery store. The same name, “Gibbons” was written on it. It’s amazing how the universe will bring reminders of our loved one’s presence with us in the most uncanny ways. It doesn’t have to be exact to count as a reminder either. “Gibbons” is a close enough match:

Variation of Gibb on $20 Bill

The Gift of Gibb

During the early afternoon of February 27, 2021, I was talking with my husband about how the surname “Gibbons” showed up on the description of the poppy stamp. I had not mentioned it to him before, but it occurred to me to do so because we had been talking a lot about this website earlier that morning. I thought he would like to know that the “Idea” t-shirt and poppy stamps had an additional connection to Robin with a variation of his name mentioned.

While I was talking with him about the “Gibbons” surname associated with the stamp, I was multi-tasking and using my phone to research articles on how to clean our dishwasher.

I found this article from Today. I was so surprised when I read the freelance writer’s name: Her last name is Gibbs! Here is the link.

I laughed and showed my husband the article. He was surprised and I was too, yet I have grown accustomed the quick signs back over the years. It felt like an intricate, beautiful web of connections with Robin’s spirit being woven in that moment. Within seconds of talking about the poppy stamps and “Gibbons”, “Gibbs” shows up! I love it! What a beautiful gift.

According to John Holland in the book, Bridging Two Realms, “A loved one’s name showing up just when you were thinking about them,” is a common sign of after death communication. (2)

It is one of the more attention-getting and moving afterlife gifts.

Stamps and the Isle of Man

I was curious about Stanley Gibbons since I did not know who he was. So later in the day on February 27^th, I continued my research while writing this post. According to Wikipedia:

Edward Stanley Gibbons (21 June 1840 – 17 February 1913) [1] was an English stamp dealer and founder of Stanley Gibbons Ltd, publishers of the famous Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue and other stamp-related books and magazines. (3)

I know absolutely nothing about stamp collecting, so finding out about the Gibbons stamp company is all new to me.

Interestingly, on Feb. 27^th during my research, I also discovered another connection to Robin related to Stanley Gibbons. It is this Isle of Man stamp below. I was really amazed when I saw this. The Isle of Man is Robin and the Bee Gees’ country of birth:

So many connections are associated with the t-shirt my husband gave me. This is the gift that keeps on giving. That’s why I see this as a spiritual social network.

In this case, it involves a network of energies including my husband, The Bee Gees and Robin’s spirit, poppy stamps, a freelance writer, a stamp dealer, and me.

Robin’s signature is all over this. His last name and birth country all showing up unexpectedly within a few hours of each other? Pretty awesome!

Cleaning dishwashers has nothing to do with stamps, so it meets C.G. Jung’s criteria for these synchronistic events being symbolically meaningful connections (for me), but acausal and unrelated.

It’s actually pretty rare for me to see anything about the Isle of Man come up in my life, so this is very special. It really was a divine idea for my husband to give me this gift of the “Idea” t-shirt! Maybe he was influenced by energies beyond our dimension, unbeknownst to him.

It’s a mysterious power that clusters these names and events together. I consider them all afterlife gifts and feel Robin’s spirit woven in and through them. It was one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts ever and I am very thankful for all spirits and energies involved whether alive or deceased.

Follow the Breadcrumbs

There is one last thing I would like to mention. If you are engaging in afterlife communications, I cannot stress enough how important it is to scratch beneath the surface and do additional research on the signs you are given.

If I had discontinued my research when I confirmed the stamps were poppies and did no additional research on Stanley Gibbons, I never would have seen the Isle of Man stamp that is so meaningful to me.

With afterlife communication, you really have to be willing to do the extra work. If you miss the sign, your loved one may attempt to send it again. But, it helps them a lot on the other side if we do our work and follow the leads and “breadcrumbs” they give us. “Gibbons” was a big breadcrumb and I followed it!

Social networking in the physical world requires some effort. The same principles apply to social networking with our deceased loved ones. Loved ones on the other side very much appreciate our extra efforts. The reward for our extra work could be layers and layers of communications from them that will amaze us!

Thank you very much for reading. I hope your spiritual social network is alive and well!

Afterlife Communication: Touched By Your Love

by Christina | Feb 13, 2021 | Synchronicity

A Door Opened

In my previous post, I wrote about how in 2012, a door opened by which I could communicate with Robin’s spirit. It opened automatically and mysteriously. The thing is, since then, it never closed. I had no idea in 2012 that almost nine years after his death, I would still be in communion with him.

If someone had told me in 2013 that in 2021, I would still feel connected to his spirit, still be communicating with him and that I would have a website, I would have have been amazed and surprised. In 2013, I could not have imagined sharing any of these stories.

That is the power of afterlife soul connections. They cause you to do things you never would have done. They cause you to grow, to spread your wings and to come out of your shell.

Since Robin’s passing, I have lived my life as fully as I can, moving across country, surviving breast cancer, and loving my husband. The door is still open. Something miraculous definitely happened to me when he died physically. His death set off a chain reaction within me which has resulted in accelerated spiritual growth and learning.

When that door opened, a river of afterlife communication, synchronicity, soul family, and twin soul energies, flowed into my life. I had never experienced anything like this prior to Robin’s passing: a mysterious soul connection with someone who had been famous that I had never met.

Maybe you are like me and feel a strong soul connection with Robin and/or with someone else you never knew. Maybe you love them genuinely and know it’s not a bunch of b.s. Perhaps you felt deep grief and sadness upon their death. And if you are like me, you know that it is stigmatized to admit to having such a connection with a previously famous soul, even though in your heart, you know it is true.

Soul Connections with Deceased Famous People

To address this issue, I would like to share a reassuring video by a psychic and a medium named Bridgette of Above Life Channel on YouTube.

In her video below called, “When Famous People Die and You Feel the Impact,” she validates the fact that famous and non-famous people, who did not know each other, can be connected at soul level and that for some of us, we will feel the void and the impact of the loss of that life.

We could experience it as an “instant opening” as she puts it (2:51 into the video). We may even become fixated on learning everything about them that we can. Well, I would put myself in that camp, but it kind of goes along with the territory.

I encourage you to watch her 11 minute video so you understand better what I’m talking about. If you ever felt deeply grieved after the death of someone famous that you did not know, you may feel encouraged by what she has to say and not feel so alone or weird.

When I heard her say that we could experience their death as an “instant opening,” it resonated with how I experienced Robin’s death as like a door opening. It took his spirit being released from his physical body for me to feel this.

I know it sounds strange, but I could feel that release back in 2012. Actually, I was in tune with his spirit close to one month prior to his passing, in April, 2012, and I had no idea why at the time. It seems my soul knew what was coming but my mind of course didn’t and I was confused.

To this day, I feel the charge of his energy, or supercharge I should say. I am the “stop gap open” that she is describing (2:46 into the video). His death really shook me hard, as Bridgette described, because our soul energies are connected. That is why he feels like family to me and why our energies synchronize on a regular basis.

When Robin’s soul left his body, I felt that “pull over” into spirit to connect with him. I felt like I was being “pulled over” even though I was still here embodied. That’s the best way I can describe it.

These soul connections include mega-fans and people who were not fans, like me. (Bridgette addresses this at 1:41 into the video.) Prior to this door opening in 2012, I was not much of a fan of Robin or the Bee Gees. What I mean by that is I was not following them, not listening to their music (even though I did like it), read no books about them, saw no documentaries about them and never been to a concert.

Spirit doesn’t care about any of that. Soul connections are about many things, including our shared energy light, experiences, or possible past lives together, and not about how good of a fan you were.

So, if you are like me and feel suddenly magnetically drawn to someone in the public eye upon their death, that you never followed when they were alive, Bridgette could have some answers for you.

Has a famous person’s death shaken you like this? The effect of these connections are profound. Bridgette has this to say about the famous people in spirit that we are connected to and how they are aware of the impact that they have. This quote is from 8:46 into the video:

…And that spirit totally knows because their job has been achieved when they have touched your soul…they get a gold star…you’re helping them as well to evolve and to come closer to the ethereal energy of our spirits. So, do not feel bad about that… (1)

This was incredibly helpful to me. I know that Robin knows the powerful effect his spirit has had upon me. I have shared these posts to bring you into his loving energy and also to support you on your journey of soul connections with your loved ones in the afterlife. You are not alone. A big reason why I continue to write these posts is to destigmatize and demystify afterlife soul connections.

Touched By Your Love

When I heard Bridgette say, “…their job has been achieved when they have touched your soul…” I thought about the lyrics from “Charade,” by The Bee Gees. I have been meditating on this song off and on for months now because I feel a deep connection with it.

Here is the video of “Charade.” This song is beautiful beyond measure with the voices of Barry and Robin and the incredible symphonic arrangement:

At 1:16 into video, Robin sings the lyrics below in a hauntingly beautiful way that really touches my soul. It’s not enough to read the words. You have to listen to and feel how he sings it:

And this feeling knowing you blessed me forever
And believing I have been touched by your love (2)

This is how I feel about Robin, so I will borrow their lyrics and dedicate them to him in this letter:

Dear Robin,

Your job has been achieved. I believe I have been touched by your love as a spirit and as a singer. You have touched my soul and blessed me forever through your communications that you are so good at. The way this happened after your death is miraculous and speaks to your power as a spiritual being. Thank you for our eternal connection.

Millions of other souls have been touched by your love and blessed by you through your music and the beauty of your spirit. The ones who share a soul connection with you will know what I mean.

I hope and pray that you are touched by our love for you and that you feel blessed forever by us on Earth as well. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love,

Christina

For me personally, a lot of things come with this “instant opening” that occurred at Robin’s death. A lot of things come with being touched by his love spiritually. It is life-changing. This includes a psychic connection as manifested in dream visits and synchronicity. I’m not sure how else to describe it.

I have documented numerous stories of afterlife communication in the form of synchronicity on this website to demonstrate what I’m talking about. This all served to shock me awake, which is exactly what he did, especially in 2012. This post below is one of the more revealing messages I have received:

Afterlife Communication: Levine Synchronicity

On a very frequent basis, things I speak to him about when no one else is around are mirrored back to me. This reflection back, this synchronicity, feels very much like a psychic link with his spirit.

Recently, I experienced an interesting occurrence of synchronicity as a psychic connection that is positively Orwellian, but not in the way you might think! 🙂

Afterlife Communication: Orwell, Tea and Synchronicity

Regarding long-term afterlife communication with Robin’s spirit, I do my best to bring variety to the offerings I give him. Whether it is tea, food, music, readings or mantras, I want to mix it up so things won’t get boring.

On February 1st though, I had been feeling just that: bored. I was bored with offering Robin the same Sleepytime tea. I love this tea, but I was getting a little tired of it because it’s been my “pandemic tea” and I’ve had a lot of it. Since I drink it, I was offering his spirit the same, but I had enough of it, at least for now.

I was thinking about this only and keeping it to myself, not talking about it with him or anyone. I thought that I really needed to start offering him another kind of tea. I thought, “I think I’ll offer him the “love tea.” This was a tea that I gave him around five years ago. I couldn’t remember the brand name and I didn’t have any of it. All I could remember is that it had to do with love. It’s the perfect offering for a songwriter who devoted so much of his career to singing love songs.

So, later in the evening, after I was done privately pondering how bored I was with giving the same tea for offerings, I watched a show with my husband. It was from The Great Courses and was about author George Orwell.

Julian had watched the entire course last summer, but I didn’t watch any of it at the time because I was involved in other events. Since then, he has been sharing with me how interesting he thought Orwell was and that he felt like a kindred spirit.
Since he was so affected by Orwell’s biography, I decided to start watching the course.

Within the first few episodes, I could see why he felt he was a kindred spirit. He was an unconventional sort who had compassion for outcasts and the same passion for writing that my husband has.

Also, there were a lot of things that reminded me of my blog posts in his story: Orwell’s father’s employment regarding the poppy/opium trade, a mention of “princes and prime ministers” (I recently wrote about Robin’s life including “princesses and prime minsters”), and the English countryside. So, I was thinking about Robin quite a bit while I was watching it.

After we were done watching the course for the night, my husband reminded me that he had sent me PDF’s of Orwell’s different novels last year. I had not had the chance to read them because I’m up to my eyeballs in reading as it is for this website as well as other things.

But during the early morning hours of February 2nd, I couldn’t sleep, so I went in search of the files on my computer.

I was able to find them, including one called Burmese Days. During the course, the professor quoted from this novel. I found the quote to be so beautiful, I thought I would read a little more of the novel.

I browsed through the first few pages of it which is the introduction by Emma Larkin. Then I came to something that really got my attention. Here is the quote:

Emma Larkin: Introduction to Burmese Days

In Burma, Orwell acquired a reputation as someone who didn’t fit in. Unlike his contemporaries, who prided themselves in being pukka sahibs, Orwell preferred to spend most of his time alone, reading or pursuing non-pukka activities such as attending the churches of the ethnic Karen group or befriending an English opium addict who was a disgraced captain of the British Indian army. (3)

What is it that got my attention? The word “pukka.” “Pukka” is the brand name of the “love tea” that I could not remember earlier in the day! Seeing “pukka” mentioned jogged my memory.

I thought, “Oh my God, I cannot believe that the brand name of the “love tea” is showing up in George Orwell’s novel, of all places!”

What is the likelihood of the brand name of this tea showing up within hours of me thinking of it, in such an unusual place, by chance alone? Not very high. This definitely feels guided and orchestrated. Pukka is a word I never hear in my daily life personally. I know about it only in reference to this tea.

I said to God and Robin, “Thanks for the reminder! I’ll get you the tea, lol!” I also thanked my husband because without him, I would not have had the copy of the novel which gave us this synchronicity.

Here’s the Pukka love tea. Maybe you have had it. It is very floral:

Pukka Love Tea Image

Years ago when I saw this tea in the store, I was drawn to the infinity symbols on the box decoration which have come to mean a lot to me since Robin’s passing.

The Infinity Symbols

So, yes, I do feel a psychic connection with Robin’s spirit through this synchronicity. I am amazed at the interconnectedness of these completely unrelated thoughts and activities all leading back to “pukka.” The interconnectedness and mirroring of meaningful, unrelated events is the hallmark of synchronicity.

The meaning of pukka in Hindi is truthful, real, genuine, faithful and sincere.

I’m always fascinated by the specific events in my life that do sync up with something to do with Robin’s spirit. Why did this word “pukka” sync up on this day and not something else to do with him?

Ultimately, I believe the reason for the synchronicity lies in the meaning of the word. It is pointing to these spiritual qualities that are so vital for healthy relationships and close soul connections. These are the qualities of the higher planes of the spirit world and energies that we always need in our plane of existence on Earth.

We have all experienced lies, insincerity, and fake, disingenuous energies. “Pukka” is the counterbalance to that.

In Closing

I hope you have enjoyed this post which included guidance on how to view afterlife celebrity connections with more compassion and understanding towards yourself and others.

Bridgette has a couple of videos on her channeling sessions with Andy, Robin and Maurice which you may enjoy:

1. Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees Pre-Channel

2. Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees Channeling Session

I have often heard Robin’s energy being described as shy, calm and introspective, which is true. I would just like to add my two cents and say that his energy is also extremely strong and powerful as I have experienced firsthand. So, no, it’s not always shy and calm! If he wants to get your attention and deliver a message, he knows how to do that.

Take care! I will be back in March with another post.

Songs and Synchronicity

by Christina | Dec 21, 2020 | Synchronicity

Afterlife Communication Through Song Lyrics

I write this post in remembrance of Robin and Maurice Gibb who would have been 71 years old on December 22, 2020.

It has been documented in afterlife communication literature that deceased loved ones communicate through song lyrics.

For this post, I will share an amazing synchronicity regarding the Bee Gees’ song, “Cherry Red.” I love this song, so I figure that is a good sign to write about my experience with it! I hope you enjoy it.

In 2012, a door opened which allowed me to communicate with Robin in the ways described on this website. It came out of the blue because I did not even know there was a door through which I could reach him until after he passed away. I keep the door open now for his spirit so we can connect when the time is right. I have a story to share with you now which is about one of these times.

Cherry Red Reminder

I have been baking at home more this year due to Covid 19. On Sunday, November 29, 2020, I decided to research lemon curd recipes. I had recently made a sugar-free lemon yogurt cake and it got me thinking about other lemon deserts.

I read through this recipe and saw a link for a silicone whisk. I need another whisk, so I took a look. At the time I clicked on the link, it was for this Cherry Red whisk.

This whisk immediately reminded me of the Bee Gees’ song. Here it is.

After I was done looking at the whisk and recipe, I decided to listen to the song. I have heard it many times, but there were some lyrics that I still didn’t understand.

They were singing “something….green…” I couldn’t figure out what they were singing, so for the first time, while sitting at Robin’s altar, I researched the lyrics on my phone.

I found out they are saying, “Turquoise green, greener than the deepest sea…” Turquoise was the word that I couldn’t understand.

So, that mystery was finally solved. Robin and Barry sing the harmonies beautifully with Maurice accompanying them on guitar. It has such pretty imagery.

This song is a soul mate love song with the cosmic theme of the stars. It is about a person sadly missing their true love. They are reflecting on how their senses are heightened as the result of the presence of their love. Cherry red is sweeter and the green of the sea is more vivid when they are together. It’s so true that when you are in love, life is brighter, things taste better, and colors are more beautiful!

If it weren’t for seeing the ‘Cherry Red’ whisk, I may not have listened to this song that day. It is significant that I did, which I will explain next.

Green Turquoise Reflection

The day after researching the “Turquoise green…” lyrics, which was Monday, November 30th, I was drawn to email someone I had not contacted in a while. Their email address is one I keep at an email account I never check because I have the email forwarded to another account. So, I haven’t logged into it for easily a year or more. But, I needed to log in to find this email address of the person I wanted to contact.

When I signed in to my account, there was only one unopened email. It was in my junk folder. It was sent to me just a few days earlier on Friday, November 27th. It was from an artist from Etsy that I purchased jewelry from quite a while ago. She was promoting holiday sales.

Even though it was in my junk folder, I still clicked on it to see what she was selling. To say I was surprised at what I saw next was an understatement.

There were multiple photos of Green Kingman Turquoise jewelry!

Here is the Etsy link I received and a screenshot of the jewelry as it was displayed on Nov. 30th. I’m putting this screenshot here because the jewelry displayed at the link may change over time.

I felt very close to Robin’s spirit at that moment because it was such a specific synchronistic connection to the “Cherry Red” song lyrics.

Trish MacGregor and Rob MacGregor, in the book, Synchronicity and the Other Side: Your Guide to Meaningful Connections with the Afterlife, put it this way:

Synchronicity is a connective tissue between the everyday world and the other side, the world of spirit. (1)

Synchronicity shows one aspect of how spiritual, unseen energies like to work, which is to pull the same things together. Synchronicity shows how the Universe likes to communicate. It is a mechanism by which loved ones of all types can connect. When we love someone, whether embodied or disembodied, and we are energetically similar or nearly identical, we can reach each other through synchronized life events with very specific details.

The Personal Nature of Synchronicity

I believe one of the major reasons for afterlife communication in the form of synchronicity is to create and maintain that sense of wonder, connection, closeness, love and bonding with a deceased loved one. It makes it impossible to forget them, which is the idea! They want to be remembered.

The closeness I experience with Robin now is the closeness I look forward to experiencing with his spirit and my soul family after I pass away. And one never knows when their time is going to come. The circumstances around the world at this time show that this is the case.

I knew the images of the green turquoise were a reference to the song lyrics and a twin soul mirror. I had just researched his “Turquoise green…,” lyrics for the first time and then I received green turquoise the next day when I checked an email account I never check. The timing was miraculous since I had not signed into this account for so long, but did so just in time to receive the communication in a timely fashion.

It was there waiting for me, unbeknownst to me. It was absolutely extraordinary and all because I had been guided to search for lemon curd recipes! You never know how synchronicity is going to come to you. This was very well orchestrated by those in spirit who watch over me.

I have never purchased green turquoise jewelry from the Etsy artist I mentioned above. I do not own any type of green turquoise jewelry, nor did I know about it so it is not common for me. I know about the usual blue turquoise, but the green turquoise gemstones came as a complete surprise to me which makes the synchronicity all the more powerful.

When it comes to souls you share a connection with, whether living or deceased, I have discovered that you are going to have what they have and get what they get on a frequent, recurring basis. To me, it is a sign of being united in spirit. The mirroring can show up in various, unpredictable situations in your everyday life. This time it showed up for me through unquestionable visual synchronicity.

As far as afterlife communication with Robin’s spirit goes, it was powerful, precious and meaningful to me for my email to synchronize with the specific lyrics he was singing. It was an incredible gift and deeply personal. Now, green turquoise will hold a special place in my heart going forward.

Robin has many advantages as a spirit, one of which is to use his own songs for communication! 🙂 God, Robin and whoever else is involved in creating and orchestrating synchronicity really touched my heart with that one. I will always remember this.

If you are interested in how twin souls communicate through music, I highly recommend this excellent article by Jonna called “Twin Flame Telepathy Through Song-What You Should Know.”

Spiritual Laws Are at Work in Synchronicity

Some may say this green turquoise synchronicity is simply the Law of Attraction at work. I think there is more to it than that. The Law of Attraction may be part of it, but that’s not all of it. I’m burnt out from the Law of Attraction. It’s my opinion that the Law of Attraction gets too much credit for everything that happens in a person’s life. It’s super popular to talk about, but by only paying attention to this one law, other spiritual laws are neglected.

In the book, The Laws of Spirit, Dan Millman writes about 12 different spiritual laws, one which is the Law of Action. (2) I would like to apply this spiritual law to this turquoise green synchronicity.

If I had not taken the action to research the “Cherry Red” song lyrics, I still would not have known what the Bee Gees were singing. If I didn’t know they were saying “turquoise,” then no connection would have been made when I saw the jewelry in my email. Checking my email was another action I had to take to receive the message.

Therefore, afterlife communication requires those of us on earth to cooperate and take action so spirit can deliver the message. Our loved ones in the spirit world need our active participation. One easy action could open the door to an incredible experience. If we don’t take action, they may not have much to work with to give us a sign of their presence.

Inspired by the Seas of Australia?

According to Wikipedia, “Cherry Red” was recorded in February, 1966 and released in March, 1966.

At that time, the Bee Gees were living in Australia. They were teenagers when this song was recorded, as Barry was 19 years old and Robin and Maurice were 16 years old. They were so gifted to be able to capture soul mate energies and themes through their lyrics, voices and music at such a young age.

Barry wrote this song. It seems that the lyrics could have been inspired by the beautiful Australian seas surrounding them. That makes logical sense.

Here are some views of turquoise green seas that could have inspired the lyrics:

Since I received this synchronicity, I thought it would be a good idea to research the spiritual meaning of turquoise. According to Rodika Tchi, in her article “Turquoise Stone Meaning and Use in Feng Shui or Jewelry,” the meaning ties in directly with the sea:

The water-energy in turquoise can facilitate a better flow of energy in one’s body, thus promoting gentle detoxification and improving the state of one’s immune system. (3)

Here is some additional information on the symbolism and spiritual properties of both blue and green turquoise.

In Closing

I would like to close by saying it has been wonderful writing here all year. I hope you are finding the posts beneficial and enjoyable for you. I would like to thank all of you who have subscribed and those of you who take the time to read my posts. I appreciate you.

Writing about my connection with Robin’s spirit helps me get through rough and painful times such as in 2018 when I had breast cancer and now in 2020 during this pandemic that has affected everyone in some way. It’s a good creative exercise for me as well as being educational and spiritually fulfilling. Writing gives me a good outlet for expressing myself which is something I really need to do for my well-being and long-term recovery.

I learn so much while I’m in the process of writing because I’m actively doing research while writing. For this post, I especially enjoyed learning about the Australian beaches the Bee Gees may have visited or known about.

On a different note, I realize that some of you may have lost loved ones during this pandemic due to Covid or other illness. Or perhaps it has been a rocky time in other ways financially or with relationships. I acknowledge this with compassion for you and wishes for you to be comforted and supported at this time.

I plan to take the month of January off, but plan to be back with a new post around the end of February.

Best wishes for a good holiday season. Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday in spirit to Robin and Maurice. You are loved and remembered always.

How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2

by Christina | Nov 22, 2020 | Dreams, Synchronicity

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 16^th, 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.

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 31^st.

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:

Libations for my African Ancestors
Celtic for Robin
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.
