  • A Wedding

    wedding

    I've been tossing this dream to the wayside, as I'm apt to do a lot.  It was a dream I had a few weeks ago. I never mentioned it before because -

    1). It was a sign dream related to something I heard the night before.

    2). The obvious skepticism.

    I'm not feeling well tonight, so I'll stick to the main points here:

    - The night before, when trying to fall asleep I heard - and I heard this a couple times - a male voice say "gonna get married."

    I ignored it, thinking either it must have just rhymed with that or my ears were trying to make sense of the sounds around me.  (What "Ghost Hunters" call matrixing).

    - But then arrives the dream that I had that night. 

    In short, I was in my upstairs bathroom.  I was going to be married that day.  I remember speaking to my Mom, then having her leave so I could take a bath and get ready for the wedding.  In the dream I really didn't want to marry this guy... whoever the heck he was, as I received absolutely no impression of him... but kept thinking to myself that I wanted to see Patrick at least one more time.  I wanted to marry HIM.

    Immediately after that thought, he was in the room with me.  He and I held each other, and I was terrified that he would leave at any second.  I grabbed him and held on to him as if he were my lifeline.  I mean, in that moment it was like he was all that mattered.  I cannot stress enough how petrified I was that he would leave, but.... he didn't leave.  Not at all.

    So that's why I'm finally writing this dream down; all because of THE FEELINGS. Feelings which are nothing like me in my daily life at all.  What I mean is the whole "I can't live without this man" scenario.

    That is soooo not like me, but in this dream - and others with him - those STRONG feelings are always there and are bombarding me full force.

    (Also, he never spoke in the dream.  I didn't even see his face).

    But then I remember hearing that voice saying "gonna get married" before I fell asleep that night.  WHY did I hear that?  And if I did, is that why I dreamed I was getting married?  Or was it inevitable that I would dream that?  Was that really Patrick visiting me, and was it his way of trying to shed light on the mystery?

    Now can ya see why it's all so confusing?

    Music Video

    300

    This is old news, but I don't think I ever mentioned it before.  I was listening to some music tonight when I remembered how much I used to love this one song back in High School. It was "I'll Be There" by The Escape Club.  It's a song about a guy who died, and he's singing about how he's watching over his love that's grieving over him.

    Years later, I kept trying to find the video.  All I could remember was that everything was underwater. 

    But I remembered that every single time that video was on tv, I had to watch it.  I had never lost a close family member before then, yet I loved this song so much.  I especially remember thinking about how the guy singing in the video (the guy who'd died) was so RESTLESS. (Or at least that's how I interpreted it from then, and over the years as I tried finding the music video).

    Tonight I looked up the video on YouTube, and it's there!  It's a little different from how I remembered, but not much. 

    Anyway, back in High School Patrick was just "the knight" or "the ghost" to me.  I never even bothered to try solving the mystery.  But, looking back now, I think I was entranced by that song because it hit a chord deep down with me about Patrick.

    Could I be wrong?  You bet.

    Do I think I'm wrong?  Not really.

    PS -

    Watching the vid just now, I realized a few coincidences:

    - This guy's hair is just like Patrick's!   The only difference is it isn't blond.

    - The focusing in on his eyes several times.

    (If you've read all my sites, you'll know what I'm talking about)

    - The whole "Think of Me" lyric echoing none other than my favorite movie of all time... POTO, where Christine sings the "Think of Me" track.

    (Even all the candles are POTO-ish to me.  Lol!)

    Could all that be just coincidence?

    Definitely, as I DO BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES.

    But out of all that, the hair matching Patrick's is kind of funny to me.

  • Woken Up

    eastergirl

    I've been ignoring this for days now, but the other morning I was woken with the feeling that someone was tickling the bottom of my foot beneath the covers. 

    Then a couple days later I remembered what I was dreaming about when that happened.  Only, I'm not sure it was really a dream per se.  It was more like seeing an image.  In my mind's eye I saw a brown rabbit standing on it's hind legs inside tall grasses.  It was tall, brown grass.

    I know, I know.  This was an entry about yet ANOTHER dang rabbit.

    Which reminds me....

    I've been stumbling into rabbits via tv and online for a few days now.  Either that's just coincidence, or confirmation.

    Update:

    And maybe it's all confirmation for what happened out on our land the day after Thanksgiving? (Seeing that brown bunny dart in front of me). That day we were mowing the grass out there for the first time, which was very tall grass at the time.  It hadn't been cut in years.

    All I know is that IF this was just a teensy little 'Hello' from him.... after all, I don't think all visitations are meant to be grandstanding and we probably don't even remember half of them...... thank you, but enough with the rabbits already!  

    I'd rather HE come to me in a dream like he used to.  (Although there is one recent dream I haven't typed up yet.  I'm not positive about it and don't feel well today, so I might add it in a new entry later).

    I'm just annoyed that if there's ever anything at all to mention on this site, it's related to a dang rabbit.   Not only that, but he himself isn't even in the dream... which makes me all the more skeptical.

    And despite having these Patrick sites I AM a skeptical person, believe me.  I'm just also very openminded.  I have to be if I ever want to unearth the answers.

    Which is what these sites are all about.

    Pep Talk?

    6a00

    Now this I meant to mention long before Christmas, but I kept forgetting about it.

    Long story short, I've been VERY upset about not finding a literary agent for my book.  This book is loosely based on Patrick, so not finding an agent makes me feel like my writing must really suck or I'm just not receiving any help whatsoever from anyone on The Other Side; Patrick included. 

    Then one day I stumbled across a post on a Writer's Forum.  This person was really down in the dumps about the submission process and overcoming the odds of ever becoming published.  The thread received lots of replies, but one in particular made me feel better about my own pity party. 

    I'll post it below:

    *~*~*~*
    Wherever you are in the process, keep plugging. I know there are much tougher examples, but I wrote a 110k book, slogged through the process of trying to get an agent, then wound up shelving it.
    Wrote another book. Got a ton of requests, several quick offers, and now have an agent and am on submission.
    But guess what?
    After reading the book he offered on, he read the first one. Guess what he said?
    Yep.
    "This one is amazing! Better than the one I offered on."
    Don't quit.
    Don't quit.
     
    *~*~*~*
     
    So, you wanna take a guess on what this poster's name is? 
     
    That's right........ Patrick.  The same Patrick that PM-ed me once about an agency I was waiting to hear back from and which they were warning me about.
     
    So maybe reading that post was a pick-me-up from Patrick.
     
    Or not.   I mean, was that an actual message or was it just something that I needed to hear/helped me?
     
    I have no idea.
     
    While I still feel a lot of unpleasant things about all of this right now, that advice from Patrick # 2 I do try to remind myself of every single day because I know it really is true.  Sometimes things do have to happen in their own time... not in MY time.
     
    Which sucks, I admit.

  • Old Dream Message

    Dream

    Well, a long time ago it was almost a possible message anyway.

    But I came across a really old PM from someone, which I never posted on my site.  It isn't a biggie, but since it's Patrick-related, here it is: 

    *****

    Patrick is your resident ghost/spirit, right? I had a dream recently and the name Patrick was said to me very clearly and I've been trying to figure out who Patrick was, and where I had heard of Patrick before. I think this might be the same Patrick. I don't even know what the dream was about now. I just remember the name very clearly. Very interesting!

  • I am so s-l-o-w  

    OffKilter2

    It just now - about 4 months later - dawned on me that there might be another reason why it was so "coincidental" that I saw an entire bagpipe band on my last vacation at Disney World.

    Backstory:

    - In October 2008, Mom and I went to WDW to celebrate her birthday. One of those days I REALLY wanted to see the band "Off Kilter" over at Epcot. (Click HERE for a YouTube vid of them).  I never got to see them, and ever since that day I kept saying that I HAVE to see them our next trip. 

    - Fastforward to our next trip in October 2009, also for Mom's birthday.  Determined to see the band this time, I researched the times they played and which days.  I factored all that in, finding a way for it to fit into our trip this time around for good.

    But.... in the end I didn't really need that schedule because out of the blue one day, marching down Main Street USA was not Off Kilter, but an entire pipe band.

    So maybe that wasn't just perfect timing, and a "Listen to your Heart" coincidence.  (Explained a few posts below).  Maybe it was also a gift from Patrick, because he knew how disappointed I was the previous year at not seeing Off Kilter like I planned.

    It's definitely given me something to think about.
