Hello,  I hve an event that occurred to me almost three years ago and I would like to know if it sounds like anything that has happened to anyone else.

I was on a train in Italy going from Rome to Naples.  I was almost dozing as the train went through some rural rugged terrain and my mind wandered. 

Suddenly, I jumped when someone shouted my name.  My eyes were open but I got a fully detailed mental vision of a former fiance from 18 years prior, looking straight at me with a compassionate smile and a loving look that she used to great effect during our time together.  I immediately felt a strong sense of acceptance, approval, comfort and love and an underlying feeling of deep connection.  As my mind tried to understand what I'd seen the vision began to fade and I then smelled her favorite perfume, which lingered on my jacket for the rest of the day.

From an informational standpoint, I had not seen her since our breakup 18 years before.  We parted under frustrating circumstances due to immaturity, misunderstanding and geography.  During our time together we had some psychic events...I would move to the telephone to call her and it would ring with her on the other end...I would decide we'd cook dinner at my house and she'd show up with groceries...I was alone and lonely in another city and when I got in at 1 am, the phone rang with her saying "I love you". On another occasion, I woke up at three am when I heard my name and got a strong impression she was in trouble...I  called her and she'd gotten really sick that evening!  I initially thought that my Italian call might mean she was in trouble and calling me over time and space but I didn't know how to find her after all that time passed.

Has this happened to anyone here and does anyone know what I saw?  Nothing like this has happened since then.

I would call it "great". How comforting it must be to know that communication go much deeper that just words. I personal believe you are making this connection with her. There must be a real bond between you.

Just one thing...when it comes to relationships where it has been called a "soul mates" for instance. I dont think that it is likly that happens often. The possibility of learning new insights into yourself and progressing your "disk group" onward might be held back by continually having the same relationships, with the same people, again and again. Not that there isn't a possibility of a connection with those you have shared existence with before, its might not be as good of a learning expearence living the same sort of life over and over again, with the same person. Therefor I dont believe many would choose to do it unless they felt it nessassary, emotionally, to compleat some sort of unfinished business. A little off topic but I felt a need to post it.   

Hi

An interesting novel on this topic, if you have time for reading, is "The Gargoyle" by Davidson.
In it a man and woman may have had a series of lives together as lovers -- or  maybe the woman is just making up stories to keep him entertained while he recuperates from a horrible auto accident.   

I don't know anything about the author's interest in the afterlife but he does include a lot topics that we discuss here. At first I disagreed with his premise that the same two souls could come together so often in the same type of relationship, but then .....
oh, I don't want to give away the plot.

Hi,

I am glad I found this thread.  I was going to ask you in another thread if you would elaborate on this personal story of yours.  I'm glad you did, and glad I saw it finally.

Yes, I have had the type of vision you described about seeing her with your eyes open but in your mind's eye.  The way you described her is the same way I'd describe the experiences I have had. 

From my own experiences, I've had one such remarkable vision the same as you describe, and at the time I had it, the person who sent it had been thinking intently of me feeling the love and bond of our friendship.  On another occasion with another person, I am not sure if he was thinking of me at the time I received the vision, but I later found out I have a strong spiritual connection with that person as well.  In fact, I had a vision of him before even having met him!  That was very remarkable in itself. 

I'm sure that vision changed your life in some way, didn't it?  My experiences with this type of spiritual experience changed my life too. 

The way this vision just pops into your mind's eye so vividly and real, it's remarkable isn't it.  The way you could see her smiling, giving you love, it's a feeling that's way more strong than the normal smile and look in the physical world isn't it.  In my experiences, it's as if pure love, kindness, joy, and happiness were emenating in energy from the vision to me.  Would you describe your vision the same way?  Truly remarkable I would say, and more real than anything else. 

She very well could have been thinking deeply about you at that moment.  She wasn't necessarily in trouble, pain, or dying, probably just thinking fond memories about you or sending you love.  And you got it!  You two obviously have a very strong and intense spiritual connection, love, and friendship that has existed for who knows how long and it always will. 

I believe we really have two relationships with people with whom we have this intense connection with.  We have the physical relationship here in life, whether you are together or apart, but there is also the spiritual relationship that is never, ever "apart" from each other.  We are always, always connected with this person spiritually...and it's as if we are living a life "there" alongside the one we live here. 

In my mind it would make sense that one life would parallel the other, but this is not how it works.  Don't ask me how it works because I cannot understand it!  I only know how it exists. 

Your story is so heartwarming yet heartbreaking that I could just cry.  I'm a big lover and a big baby wrapped in one...show me a love story that "goes wrong" and I just fall to pieces.   

But I "know" about this other existence we have alongside our own physical one...it's just hard to be focused here when you have to deal with the misery that life can bring.
