Lessons from a Child: Dream movies

Over the past few weeks, I have been asking my 3 year old son about his dreams.  "Did you have a dream last night?"

At first, he looked at me with confusion, so I clarified, "did you see anything while you were sleeping?" He gave me the confused look again.

The following week, I tried again, "Did you have a dream last night?  Did you see any images or pictures in your head while you were sleeping?"  This time I got a response "I saw my bed."

Hmmm... how do I ask this question so that a 3 year old understands me?

So this morning, I asked him and gave an example of my own.  "Did you have a dream last night?  I had a dream last night.  You and me and Daddy were in the car.  And our car could FLY!  Did you see anything while you were sleeping?"

"I saw a movie," he responded.  "I saw a movie in my bed."

(Now, we're getting somewhere... my next thought was 'why didn't I think to say "movie" when asking about his dreams???')

"What was the movie about?" I inquired nonchallantly (I didn't want to get too excited, yet.)

"Excavators!" he said with delight. (Typical little boy!)  "Lifting dirt ERRRR and putting it in the dumptruck WHOOSH!" he punctuated his statements with soundeffects.

"What a great dream!" I exclaimed.

"I like watching movies in my bed," he said proudly.

So there you have it, folks!  Dreams are movies while you sleep.  Sweet dreams, everyone!

Q & A: Will our session be a conversation with spirit loved ones?

Q: What happens during a mediumship reading? Will it be a conversation between me and my spirit loved ones? A: Each reading is unique, so I never know what to expect during a reading. As a medium, I open myself with the highest and best intention to receive information from your spirit loved ones. Once we establish contact with a spirit loved one and have established their identity, we can engage them in conversation and ask them questions. Many times, a reading is an opportunity to chat with your family and extended family and maybe a few of your closest friends. It can be a special time for reunion and a sharing of memories. It can be a chance to say "hello" or "I'll see you again" or "I love you". Perhaps it will be a time for making amends and apologies. Or it can be an opportunity for closure and explanation. Or it can a time to receive guidance and opinions from those you trust in Spirit. Or it can be a confirmation of your own experiences with s

Flashes of light

I am a medium , so I 'see' things. *smile* Well, every now and then, I see a small light. (And I don't mean an orb or a light flying around the room like Tinkerbell.) I am talking about a small pinprick of light that remains stationary and lasts for 2-3 seconds. It resembles a star from the night sky, albeit a very miniature one. This little 'flash of light' is a spirit. Sometimes I see a 'flash of light' (or a miniature star) around clients during readings --- either near the client's chair or in another part of the room. Also, I remember seeing them in a museum, on the trail in the woods, here at home, and at church. When I see that pinprick of light, I focus on asking the spirit to provide me with more information and to share their essence . Much like seeing spirit in side vision , it's a way that we can perceive those in spirit. These flashes of light are just another way for spirit loved ones to communicate that they are with us. In fact, some

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ
