RESEARCH:

 “The Exclusive, Universal, and Multiple Experiences of ADC” By James A. Houck, Ph.D. 10/09/04  “Please don’t think I’m crazy, but…” is how most conversations typically begin around the subject of After Death Communication (ADC).  Most of the research in this area has been done from a qualitative (e.g., structured interviews) approach, which is an excellent way for people to begin telling their stories and comparing similar experiences with other bereft people.  Yet, are there others ways to statistically measure the frequency and uniqueness of such experiences?  In other words, are ADC’s random or purposeful to specific types of populations or bereavement groups? 
INTERESTING FAQ:

We analyzed 238 contributions to our ADC website form exploring the relationship between the deceased and the person reporting the ADC. We found that 46 (19%)of the contacts occurred within 24 hours or less. Interestingly, 35 (76%) of the 46 contacts occurred between blood relatives. Only 5 (14%) occurred between significant others. 
A BIG THANKS goes out to those who submitted their experiences on the website so that we can gain important insights into the ADC phenomena!

 

IMPORTANT FAQ:

COLLEEN S:  So does the "research" show that other people have these dreams?  What other thoughts do you have on these death dream scenarios?

JODY:  I, personally, think that being in an altered state of consciousness (the dream) makes it easier for loved ones who have passed to communicate with us on earth.  Far from being non-evidential, I would argue to the contrary.  The way that we process our reality is that before our subconscious will alert our conscious mind, the input must pass a threshold test.  If it is important then the subconscious will allow the input to move into our rational, or conscious level of mind.  In the dream state, this threshold may well be less since we do not have the waking overload of input from the 5 senses.  Therefore, communication that may normally be able to occur in a dream or drowsy state, would reach us easier than in the waking state of consciousness.

 

 


Here are our newest experiences: 

James M ADC 1440 5/6/08  I then say you must answer some questions for me, before you go.  He felt solid to the touch like any other living person, and looked very strong and healthy for his age of 69.  He always took three one hour walks everyday despite the weather.  He appeared exactly as he had prior to his death. he was wearing glasses and had a full head of silvery grey hair.  I first asked what he had been doing since he died. He replied " I've attended a hearing convention."  This was likely a joke. Dr. King was a comical fellow with a great wry wit.  At his funeral I had learned that he had experienced some hearing loss.  He then again said " I have to be going now."  At this point, knowing my time was running out, I quickly rolled off a number of questions.  Did you have a life review? "Yes, somewhat of one." Are you now aware of all your past life identities? "Yes."  Have you seen your parents? "Yes."  He then again said "I have to be going now."  At. this point, the dream ended when I was awakened by my four and a half year old daughter.
ADC with Dr. King.

  Pamela P ADC 5/3/08  The first time, I was at my Aunt's home after the funeral and a bright, white light flew across the room and burst into a star burst on the door knob. No one else saw that when it happened.  The second time, we had just gotten back from the hospital seeing my Step Father in Law after he died. Outside the window there was a bright light that flashed and went away.   The third time, I had a dream that I went down to my neighbor's house to see how "Bob" was doing. His wife told me she couldn't talk because "Bob" just died. The next day I received a phone call telling me that "Bob" passed away unexpectedly.  I didn't tell anyone about my dream, too embarrassed that if I had said something I could have possibly saved his life. Then when I saw his wife, we hugged and talked then she said she couldn't talk anymore and went inside the house, just like in my dream.
Several ADCs.

  Sandra M ADC 5/3/08  I wasn't shocked at hearing his voice because I'd heard it daily for 25 years except for much of the previous three days when he was increasingly unable to speak.  He was saying something about what an amazing place he found himself in, and then I realized he had died just hours before.  Now I was fully awake, not wanting to move and possibly interfere with his message, and heard him say very clearly and with happy excitement, "I'm getting some of this for us, baby."  The last syllable of "baby" was truncated as if something had broken the connection. When I was certain there was no more, I got up, went to the hall, saw nothing different, and went downstairs to the computer as I often did when I couldn't sleep.

David W ADC 4/27/08 Mother past away in November,2008 and she is so happy now and I'd like others to know of this most unbelievable wonder, so I try… Mother past away in N.C. I was in FL.  That morning, just before I woke from my sleep I envisioned my mom's hospital room and in a split second I saw the flash of a brilliant white light and I knew that  was what my Mom was seeing and that she was going into the light.  I immediately woke and got out of bed got dressed and drove to work; received a cell call from a relative informing me that Mom had just passed away that morning, I said ,I already knew it.
ADC from deceased Mother.

Debbie C ADC 4/27/08  However, there was one flower that always caught my attention, this was the sunflower. “It’s a pretty flower, but a bit ordinary for the cemetery,” I always told myself and my husband, and we never chose it.  One day, while dressing up our bed to then visit the cemetery, I glanced at Richie’s photo on my nightstand and I heard his voice in a soft tone say to me, “Yellow flowers.” I quickly ran to my husband and told him what I heard. “Our son wants yellow flowers.” I said. “How do you know?” he asked. “Because I heard him,” I replied.
ADC from deceased son.  Beautiful account involving sunflowers.

Lena H ADC 4/27/08 From Sweden.  I than said loud and clear "mother now I want to have a sign to but not tv sets going on or off or clocks stopping I like you to if possible send and animal to my house a fox or something". About 1-1½ hour later I was hearing as strange sound outside and opened the door it was evening around 7 and still some snow out so I could see the darkness of an animal all of a sudden it "barked" so powerfull it made me jump and it ran back and forth "barking" like that for about maybe 2-3 minutes than it took of to the forrest again. it was a fox I recognized the "Barking" I started smiling saying "oh mamma you managed it". It was a very magic feeling I called my sons they both got very happy as did my sister. My husband also heared the fox and was amazed it had come so close to the house and was right outside our livingroom door. For about 2 weeks after this experience we kept seeing foxes allot crossing roads or running over fields. That when our area is not that fox rich.
ADC from deceased Mother. 

Barbara ADC 4/24/08 I called out.  "Sylvia where are you.!!  Sylvia where are you.!! " Then I said, "Oh No! Sylvia is dead.  If Sylvia were alive I would be concentrating on her and not my problems.  Nothing is going to help me out of this turmoil, not even prayer, just Sylvia."  Then I turned my body to the other side and closed my eyes.  Now I tell you I was still awake, but looking into the blackness of my eyes.  All of sudden, I saw vivid gold.  Out of the gold, I saw Sylvia.  She peered deeply into my eyes for about a minute with intense love.  Then all of a sudden it went black again.  I also felt her presence next to me.
ADC from deceased pet cat.

Francesca S ADC 4/24/08 I woke up by the sound of the popping of a champagne bottle and the voice of my husband, telling me to get up and not to sleep through the New Year. He poured champagne in glasses and kept telling me to wake up and get up, he wanted to celebrate. I actually answered him, I told him to let me sleep, I was too tired to celebrate and anyway with all this noise he would wake up the boys. And he said I have to wake them up anyway to see the fireworks, he kept talking and talking to get up and drink with him in celebration of the New Year, he stood in the doorway of my bedroom calling me lazybones. Finally tired of listening to him nagging at me, I got up. What a surprise, he wasn’t there and I realized he could not have been there, because he passed away 5 months earlier

Brenda M Experience 4/24/08  I suddenly realized that he was stood next to me, but looked chubby and well, like he did before he got cancer. He then took me by the hand, lifted his left leg and we flew over a wall that was at the end of the market. We flew around for a while, then landed. I then saw my mum and one of my aunties talking. We stood next to them, and my stepdad was trying to talk to my mum, but she couldn't hear him. He was getting really frustrated and said to me that she was shutting him out. I then looked down at my hands and realized that I had 2 rings on. One was a purple diamond shaped ring on my 2nd finger on my left hand. The other ring was on my wedding finger. He told me that the rings were left to him by his grandmother and he was leaving them to me. I then woke up.
ADC Dream.  ADC from deceased father.  Interesting that information was given regarding rings that she did not previously know.

Alicia C Experience 4/24/08  Two and a half months later, when my son was legally declared deceased, I was holding him and I experienced this feeling of not really being aware of my senses. Although I was holding him, I couldn't feel him and it seemed if though everything was standing still. And as I looked at him I saw that same yellow light I saw when I was in the tunnel two months earlier.
During delivery, OBE into tunnel.  Saw light.  Later while holding deceased son, saw same light.

Lyza P ADC, Possible NDE.   4/24/2008  While I was "asleep" (because I'm not sure if I was or if I really did die) I had the strangest thing happen. I don't call it a dream because it was so clear and vivid and emotional. I remember a long tiled hallway, like one in a school or something, but no lockers or anything. As you looked ahead, it got narrower and brighter. My dad was halfway to the end, and I was running, and screaming and crying for him to wait for me, but I just couldn't catch up to him. By the way, he was walking fine, without a cane, and didn't look sick, maybe just melancholy, but he was awfully sick when he died. Finally, he stopped, and looked at me and without his mouth moving, I could hear him telling me I couldn't go, that I had to take care of my mom and my niece, but he was glad I came because he was scared to walk alone, yet a little angry because he knew what I did.
Overdose of sleeping pills, then encountered father.

  Minerva Experience 4/18/08 My father was walking up the stairs from the basement toward the entrance door.  I seen the top of his balding head going up the stairs.  I was frightened at first, as I was the only one home, then the figure disappeared as he reached the top of the stairway.  I realized that it was my father, and I said "yes dad, this is my home, it's kind of nice isn't it?"
ADC from deceased father.  NDE from assault by former husband.

  Celso L Experience 4/18/08  That night about 1:35am, I was laying in my bed thinking about my beloved mother, my brothers were awake with me, so were my sisters, we were talking about our mother, and how much we loved her, when suddenly a purple beam struck through the window, it then became an electric ball, and began levitating. The ball was purple violet, and had a lot of static surrounding it, seconds later the electric ball faded, I thought it was my head playing games on me, but suddenly it appeared again, and floated towards the center of my bedroom, that's when me and my brothers jumped up, and ran to my stepfather. We talked with a catholic priest and he told us that this is our mother, communicating with us, and saying her goodbye's to us. two days later we saw the same static ball, this time it was in the kitchen, and it made a whistling noise.

  Barbara M Experience 4/18/08  I was asleep in bed with my new lover, when suddenly I was awake and flying down the stairs literally. My feet did not touch the ground. There was someone there, floating next to the refrigerator. She was telling me, without words that there was something she needed to tell me. Begging me to listen. I was so scared that I refused to listen and screamed back, without words, to get the ______ away from me. She begged for a few more seconds which seemed like minutes and I again refused. I was so traumatized. Then as fast as I was whisked out of bed I was back in bed… Then I shared the experience with my lover. She asked what the person looked like. I told her. Female. Young. Blonde hair. Dressed in a summer dress or nightgown. Big girl. Not fat just big. All the color went out of her face. I asked what was wrong. She told me I described her younger sister who had committed suicide 3 years earlier.

Tiffany B Experience 3/16/08 I was playing board games in my room with some friends. When my phone rang, I answered and it was a bad connection cutting in and out with static but through it all was my fathers voice. He said, "This is you're dad.  I love you." Right after he said that, it clicked and went silent. He was gone.

  Cathy N Experience 3/16/08 Out of the corner of my eye during my meeting I saw a light, it appeared to be coming from the fluorescent lights on the ceiling in the room, so I ignored for a brief moment, but something made me look again and when I did I realized it was now at the level of the table where I was sitting with other nurses at this meeting. I watched it come towards me it very bright shaped like a half circle with points of light radiating from it, it continued to come towards me, I watched as it surrounded the person sitting next to me on my right it went from the top of her head down to her back, kind of outlined her, she never turned to look at me, and I kept thinking that others must see this too, but they did not, the person who was talking during the meeting, I kept thinking she was going to say something about this light, she did not. I closed my eyes and I could still see it and then I opened them and it was still there, I should say that it was vibrating very fast.
ADC from deceased daughter.

Pamela F Experience 3/9/08  IN the dream I saw my father-in-law.  He did not talk but he showed me that I urgently needed to go in an old shed that was on his land in Fayette County.  He showed me that I needed to either have someone look under a piece of plywood or cardboard it the loft of the shed.  I had no idea what shed he was talking about, I had never seen it before.  Somehow I was given the impression that his son would know.  I awoke suddenly and expressed the dream to my husband (his son).  He knew about the shed but it was in total dilapidation and very unsafe to enter.  I continued to push the subject until he said he would look.  I accompanied him to the farm.  He went way back into the woods to the old shed.  He came back a good while later with a civil war saddle and mule harness.  He had no idea where it had come from and knew that it had not been there before.  It was located in the loft of the shed under a rotting piece of plywood.  I still have it to this day.  My children will inherit it one day.
Dream ADC.  Was told to look under plywood in dilapidated barn.  Looked and found civil war era relics.

Carolyn M Experience 1408 3/9/08 When I laid down that first night without him , it was hard. As I lay there I did not feel him jump on the bed but I felt him walk on my legs back and forth just as when he was alive. After a few times I raised up on my elbow hoping to see him in the body but there was nothing there and the steps stopped. I did not feel him jump on the bed, I believe my precious son carried him to the bed and I take comfort in knowing they are together.
ADC from deceased cat.

Agnes G Experience 3/2/08 On Saturday, I came home in France and although I had experienced this, was still going on with plan to kill myself.  At 2am; I prepared the rope - sorry for the details- and went on...my mother, OUT of NOWHERE; woke up - she had been sleeping in the room next to mine- and rushed to my room at the EXACT same moment I was fading away.  She resuscitate me; thanks god and called the paramedics.  3 days after, she then told me that at the EXACT time I was doing the unthinkable; she woke up in terror and saw a bright light in front of her standing in front of her; very very bright light and instantly thought of me.  She then went to my room and cut the rope.  The paramedics did tell her that 2 months after, it would have been too late as I was starting to be in a coma - I didn't recall myself this as instantly after I tied the noose I was in a complete darkness. 
ADC from deceased Grandmother.  Then her mother had an ADC from Grandmother that alerted her to save her daughter’s life from a suicide attempt.  Remarkable!

  Patricia B Experience 3/2/08  I had just finished feeding my new son when Dad appeared at the foot of the hospital bed. He was dressed as he always dressed. He didn't say anything. Then he was gone. I felt very comforted and happy, but not giddy.
ADC from father shortly after she gave birth.

  Dora Experience 3/2/08  A couple hours later, I was awakened because I sensed a presence in the room.  I could feel the presence of someone pacing and circling the bed.  Further, I sensed it was a male presence.  Further still, I sensed it was a paternal presence -- that of a father.  At first, I wondered if it was the spirit of my deceased father. Then I picked up the feeling that the deceased spirit of a father was not concerned about me, but was concerned about my fiancée.  I then realized it was the spirit of my fiancée's deceased father.  The presence was very worried and upset.  It kept circling the bed, pacing the floor.  It would come around to my side, and then pace back around to my fiancée's side of the bed.
ADC from fiancée's father.

  Silvia G Experience 3/2/08 I suddenly had an intense feeling that something passed right through my body. It was like something passed through my tissues, in between my cells.  It came through from above me to my right, and passed through me on a diagonal, down to the left. I lost track of it as it quickly exited my body because I was engulfed in sudden warmth and love. The entire experience probably lasted about one or two seconds, but I felt a tremendous relief from the grief for quite awhile after that happened.  This experience has made me really wonder about this illusion we all carry around with us that we are solid beings.
ADC from deceased partner.

  Cary C Experience 3/2/08 #4 About one month after the death of my Dad, I was home alone and feeling low. The doorbell rang and I got up to answer it. At the door was a young couple, who told me that their friends had just purchased the property adjacent to ours and they wanted to come and say hello. I have no idea how things transpired, but the woman handed me an angel in a box with a beautiful poem. She told me she had just bought it and didn't know why. She felt that she had to give it to me, as it was meant to be mine. They then turned around and left me with this beautiful angel and the lovely words of love and reassurance that came with it. I have never seen these people again and no one knows who they are. 
Multiple ADCs.

  Joann H Experience 3/2/08  I had a friend in the hospital and had been going to see him for 4 days he was by best friend and on the morning he died I was sleeping but I was woke up by something and I opened my eyes and saw a bright light over by my bedroom wall and it moved up to the ceiling and disappeared and I remember thinking why is that light in my room and I went right back to sleep. About an hour later my phone rang and it was my friends mother telling me that my friend had died and would I meet her at the hospital.
ADC from deceased friend.

Pamela M Experience 3/2/08  The first thing I remember was that I was walking along side my mother, she was smiling, we were on a grassy path with very tall pine trees on either side, there were the most beautiful flowers everywhere beneath the tall trees and they were very tall trees, the colors, oh the colors, ethereal, not of this earth, it was so beautiful, and the flowers, lush and so indescribably beautiful, the grass was an emerald glistening like nothing here on earth, it sparkled, it was dewy and so lovely, there were the most beautiful birds everywhere, it was so overpowering, and she was sighing in delight, and saying to me, "Oh, Pam, isn't is so beautiful here", I could feel what she was feeling, and the air, it was so incredibly fresh and sweet and smelled like nothing I have ever known, and walking on this dazzling emerald grass was like floating on the softest thing..........the peace there, the light, she kept sighing in such peace such a feeling so indescribable.
