Mind the gap. 11 March 2004 Hum. I probably have never mentioned this, because it seems very strange, but my late great-grandmother and her daughter, my grandmother, on my father's side are supposed to have the 'gift' of being able to psychically interpret things, etc. My grandma always sees things in dreams and gets all sorts of premonitions and bad / good feelings of impending doom / joy, and both of them used to do palm readings and such... it's just part of the lore of my family. I tend to believe in it as more of a connection with God than anything, since both of them were / are extremely religious.But it extends to the other side of my family as well. My cousin Mary-Jane, who lives in Maine, once had an extremely vivid dream about a woman being taken from the trailer where she lived and killed in a very detailed manner. She woke up in the night, very frightened, and told her then-husband Chris about it. The next morning there was a story on the news about a woman who'd lived in a trailer and whose body had been found. MJ told one of her friends that soon the police would determine the cause of death to be (insert whatever the cause was; I've forgotten it) and that her boyfriend killed her... sure enough, they did. MJ's also seen my late grandfather in a sort of half-awake / half-asleep dream thing in which he gave her messages to give to my grandmother... she says it was just incredibly realistic. It's stories like that, especially the murder one, that make me give some credibility to the idea that there truly is some sort of a 'sixth sense' out there. Stories like that help strengthen my faith. Tonight my grandma (LN, by the way, Nicole) came over. I was in my room on the computer when she walked in and started commenting on how neat it was that I was re-doing my room. I guess it was my Celtic-knotwork border that reminded her of this, but she abruptly said, out of nowhere, that she's always felt that my 'aura' is very Celtic and that in a past life I must have lived in that time period in England or Ireland. It really gave me the chills, because I've never ever talked to her about how I feel connected to that time period... it was very strange. I heard her saying the same thing to my dad, about how she herself feels distinctly Portuguese but that I am just extremely Celtic to her. It was very, very odd... I'm still kind of amazed by it since she really had no clue about my own feelings about it... >_> |
