Cornella R ADC 6/7/09 I opened the door and it was the most wonderful feeling I have ever had.  I looked at him and I knew he had passed over and was at peace.  It was my brother but not like he had ever been.  He was beautiful and very calm.  He was wearing all white, I think a robe like garment, and he was glowing with a light that I could see not with just my eyes but with my heart if that makes any sense.  I could not speak, I just listened to him.  What's so funny is that his voice was the same and the words he chose were things that only he would say and the way he would say them.  He said "I'm ok. It's ok. I wanted to go" and knew in my heart that he really did want to go because we both had had really horrible childhoods and been through a lot.  I knew he suffered from deep depressions, drug and alcohol abuse and a violent temper.
ADC Dream from deceased brother.

  Diane CB ADC 6/7/09 My brother had a special knock that he would use when he came to visit so that I would know it was him.  Being a divorced mom of two young boys,  he always told me not to open the door without knowing who it was.  His knock was 2 short regular knocks, then 5 rapid knocks using both hands.  While lying in bed thinking about a doctor appt. the next day,  suddenly,  his special knock pounded on the closet door in the hallway,  extremely LOUD. 
ADC from deceased husband.

Lisa D ADC 6/6/09 Sometime later I was startled to feel an orb of electrical energy filling my entire head. I could sense that it extended beyond my head. I immediately said to myself "Oh, Mom!". I was laying on my left side. I reached up to place my right hand on the outside of the orb. As my arm reached upward I noticed that my "real" arm remained in place, while a milky vision of my arm is what actually reached up and felt the orb. As I watched my milky arm raising upward I thought to myself "That's weird." I held the orb for a few seconds and then fell asleep again.
ADC from Mother. 

Ranja ADC 5/30/09 From Greece. That night I was crying so much and had decided to keep the candle lighting all night until she blew it, until she put it off. I asked her in tears and with all my heart to do me this favor. I said "I know you can do it in the form you are currently, just show me something so that I don't cry so much anymore". I cried and begged, over and over, for about an hour. I finally got tired, stopped crying and closed my eyes, very disappointed. I felt I did not deserve my mother's response. May be she was angry with me, this thought made me feel extremely, unbearably sad. Calming down gradually, I heard the specific sound of blowing a candle or a match. I opened my eyes wide and -yes!- it was dark, she had blown and put off the candle! She stayed with me all night, I felt a cold current of air cuddling me up and down.
ADC from Mother. 

  Marilyn M ADC 5/30/09 something I can only describe as a Vacuum effect was sucking me through this Dark tunnel and I was scared because I didn't wanna leave my mom as I felt this pull I lost my moms grip and saw this light far above as I got sucked in further it grew and grew and I could see people around me some traveling past me and some I passed and I heard a voice not yet my child then suddenly I was back but with the knowledge that there was life after death nothing more just that. I told my Dad what I saw and how I saw him giving me CPR and how our boarder was blowing in my mouth without touching my lips like blowing up a balloon and how my mother held my hand in both hands pleading for me to come back. They said my eyes were shut so how did I see and hear everything if there is no afterlife?
ADC from fiancé with information that she would get his motorcycle back.  Also NDE at age 9 from apparent accidental medication overdose.

Amber ADC 5/30/09 July 29th 2009 I had a dream that my Grandfather who was previously deceased about 2 years brought my Grandmother to me (who at the time was alive, and living with me). He didn't say anything, and just stayed in the background, and she told me that she had only 10 months to live. I was scared, and shocked by this, because she was not sick at the time (or so we thought). I shared my dream with my mother, and boyfriend, and also recorded it in a dream journal I have been keeping since the time of my Grandfathers death. I did not share the dream with my Grandmother, I did not want to upset her. In February of 2009, my Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, and was given a few months to live. She passed May 24th 2009, 10 months 3 weeks and 4 days after my dream.
Premonition and ADC involving Grandmother.

  Sally C ADC 5/30/09 I just woke up in the middle of the night with the words "fly fly fly" very clearly in my mind. And I "knew" that I needed to understand what that meant. I "knew" (had an intensely strong feeling) that they had something to do with my dad, and something to do with Elvis (Presley). Hahaha. Don't laugh. This isn't an Elvis dream. I don't know who communicated with me - dad or God or holy spirit or who. But I felt that it was a knowledge, not a dream. I knew this was different. But I logically tried to downgrade it and tell myself it was just a silly memory or something...see below.
ADC from father who communicated just three words that led to a discovering a song with remarkably NDE-like lyrics.

Linda ADC 5/16/09 My mother and I had stayed overnight in a room near to the ICU where my father was on life support after a serious stroke.  At approx 8am, after a few hours of light sleep I was just waking up, but not quite fully awake when I had a vivid vision of my father.  He was in the ICU room where he had been for the last day or so, but he did not have the breathing tube in, and he was quietly taking the tubes off his arms and chest. He looked serene. Then I woke up.  We went to go see him in his room in the ICU.  I believe it must have been around 8am that they turned down his oxygen...his heart finally stopped at 10:18 but I have reason to believe that he may have passed earlier due to this vision.  (or was preparing to pass)
Vision shortly before father’s death.

  Kathleen C ADC 5/16/09 I used to cut his hair and I did a great job, but I have to admit that who ever cut his hair in Heaven did an awesome job!!) I loved the side burns....he would never let me leave side burns....but, what he was showing me was the back of the left side of his head, just above, and slightly behind the left ear....(where he had had a 5" long opening in his skull)......he was showing me that it was just fine. All healed......like nothing ever happened......no injury at all....
ADC dream involving her son.

Olga K ADC 5/11/09 I was laying on the top of the bed looking at the window when a force came in (I only can describe as an electric force, full of life) it touched my face and it was warm, it was inside of me and around me. When I turned my head I could see the reflection of the bathroom light now ON. I went to the bathroom to see what happen and the 3 phosphorescent tubes (which they did not work for months) were on, the light in the ceiling were intense as when we look at the sun. I was standing at the bathroom door shaking, I could feel the force in me, and I asked please mum do not scare me, which I regret because a few seconds later I switched off the lights, laid back in bed, I could still feel the force in the middle of the room, then she left.
ADC a few hours after her mother’s death.

Jo-Ann T NELE 5/11/09 This is not really MY NDE, but rather a "vision" that occurred when I was lying in bed next to my dying mother. I was called to the hospital at 6pm, and arrived from Pennsylvania at around 11pm. My mother was unable to speak. She had tubes in her throat and did not open her eyes. I asked the nurse to leave, turned off the TV and the lights, and crawled into bed with her. I began to sing some songs that my grandmother (her mother) had sung to me as a child. I noticed a light on my mother's side of the bed. It wasn't bright-more like an aura, but it was white. I saw my grandmother, flanked by her other daughter and son. All were wearing white robe type garments. Their faces were young and unlined, but not real distinct. They seemed to be walking through an orchard with a canopy of trees. In the trees and on the ground were blossoms (I think apple blossoms-white and light pink), and I smelled a sweet apple smell. I told my mother it was okay to go - and I saw a white wisp of her going to them. I then heard the hospital machine beep continuously - and the vision was gone - and my mother had died.
Empathic NELE shared at the time of her mother’s death.  Interesting account in the spectrum of near-death experience.

Summer D ADC 5/3/09 This time, in the blink of an eye, we were no longer standing in the kitchen of our childhood home, we were walking in a busy area - like a mall - completely unacknowledged by anyone around us. He then played a joke on me. He said he wanted something to eat and I bought it for him. When I went to hand it to him, he laughed and said what was he going to do with that now. I sat there for a moment and then he slapped his knee and laughed and laughed. I smirked at him and said, "You played a joke on me!" and he laughed and nodded.

  Cathy ADC 5/3/09 I was in the living room seated on the sofa, after having been gone all day with my husband and daughter.  Husband was downstairs. I picked up the remote and pushed the "on" button. The screen became pure white and then a bright red heart appeared in the center of the screen, there was no sound and no channel indication only the pure white background with the bright red heart in the center of the pure whiteness, I stared at it for several minutes expecting it to change, I thought perhaps it was a commercial about a perfume that made one fall in love or think about love, because of the heart, but then I started to think that this was not any TV program…
ADC from deceased daughter.

  Andy W ADCs 5/3/09 7/22/08-Woke up around dawn, it was semi-dark in the room. Saw Jerry in bed next to mine.  Was lying on his stomach as if he was sleeping. I reached out my hand to put my hand on Jerry's head.  When my hand got to where Jerry's head was, I felt nothing.  Then I waved my hand back and forth where his head was and still felt nothing. Then Jerry suddenly disappeared with my hand still stretched out toward him.  It seemed very strange to by lying there with my hand stretched out toward nothing.

  Liz S NELE 5/3/09  It was around 1:00 AM and I was asleep. I thought I was dreaming a very "real" dream. In the "dream" I was lying flat on my back with my hands stretched out. I was in a place that seemed like a beautiful green grass field, bright sunlight coming from above. Everything was crystal clear and at the same time slightly unclear. I felt the feeling of being there -everywhere- and also of laying down in the field to my right. I could feel my arms heavy. I could feel the sensation of something in my throat. Nothing hurt, I just knew I wanted to get "up" and join what was there. But at the same time I could feel a sense of "peace" unlike anything I have ever felt before. There was no struggle. No sense of time. I was not cold, hot or uncomfortable. I was observing and yet being observed. I could feel the presence of everyone that had ever been.
‘Dream’ at time her father was dying. 

Lori/Adam ADC 5/2/09   I wanted to share this wonderful sign from my son, Jay, see the email below from my son Adam.  My daughter, Jayne just saw this today and called me crying saying she has Jay's signature at home on some checks and it is exactly the way he signed his name.  This was very comforting, yet sad, knowing he is no longer of this world, but comforting because he must be near us somewhere. 
ADC from Son.

Debbie Z ADC 4/25/09  So today I decided to check out your site about ADC experiences. I had read several and was getting into other people's stories when my door bell rang....the bell that you push at my door has not been there for about 6 months now, as a matter of fact the wires are cut at the door with no button there...I was not thinking about that and my dog was barking and she went to the door...so I followed to open up the door and nobody was there of course...there is no button to ring the bell...It just verified for me that he is watching over me and sees that I still love him and one day we will see each other again. It was a great experience.

 Utaline ADC 4/24/09 About 12 hours after my mother died as I was lying in my bed ready to sleep I had the vision of a tunnel made out of brown clouds and at the other end of this tunnel was THE LIGHT, the light was love and it came through the tunnel bathing me in such strong love that I had the thought and regret that in my life I hadn't experienced such a wonderful deep love.  Also I 'saw' my mother floating in the tunnel towards the light ... but she was invisible!!!  Forever the word LOVE will have changed meaning because it can say only very little compared with my experience.
ADC from deceased mother.

  Nancy Y ADC 4/24/09 I asked Peter (the deceased) to reveal himself to me and to give my aging mother a message that everything will be o.k. when she passes away.  I then asked Peter if he was enjoying it on the "other side" and if he was doing any fishing (a favorite hobby of his).  He didn't get to go fishing nearly enough times during his last days on earth.  A few days passed by and I got a telephone call from my mother who lives 2000 miles away.  She told me she had a dream and in her dream she was out at a lovely lake with Peter doing some fishing and he was "showing her the good places to go fish."  I never told my mother about my request for an answer from Peter (my beloved) before this happened and did not tell her about my request after she told me about her dream.

  Angie R ADC 4/24/09 The day after his accident when he contacted me through my son, I felt relieved to know he didn't take his own life.  I know he took his eyes of the road, probably texting or changing the radio.  I don't know, but I truly feel in my heart he took his eyes off the road for one second and that was it. When my son was dreaming he was crying and saying over and over "I should have kept my eyes on the road".  My son was barely 4yrs old, he didn't know how Lil' Ronney died.  He didn't know he was in a car accident. He was talking in first person.
Remarkable apparent ADC described by her son, age 4.

  Anjelika J ADC 4/24/09 The first experience was being woken around three in the morning with the feeling of a huge force at the side of my bed knowing instantly it was my mum I was I must say in awe and not scared at the time she didn't show herself though but the force energy was very very strong, I shut my eyes quick and opened them three times expecting see her but I didn't so I shut them again and said in my head to her I love and miss you mum I don't know what to do, then she spoke to me in my head wish was her voice but high pitched and like radio waves, she said what do you mean what are you suppose to do and said my name at the end as though she was calling me then all of a sudden I still had my eyes shut a huge force came over me I couldn't move my body it was that strong held me down and I got a huge rush all through my body of for at least a minute.
ADCs from mother.

  Rose ADC & NELE 4/24/09 That evening as we went to sleep on a pull out sofa in my sisters home, lying back to back, I heard a radio playing in my head, it's hard to explain but it was just as if a radio was on in the house, I even rolled over to ask my daughter if she had on her walkman radio, which she didn't. The song that was playing was by the "Doors" and it was "Touch Me". The words are touch me babe, can't you see that I am not afraid, I'm going to love you till the heavens stop the rain, I'm going to love you till the stars fall from the sky. Well the next morning I asked my sister if she had a radio on upstairs and she said no and I replied well then mommy sent me a song last night to let me know that she is OK, she is not afraid anymore.
ADC from mother, and NELE.

Dee ADC 4/4/09 I left work because I was unsettled with a feeling something was "wrong" I got home, and called the police where my mother lives to explain could they do a well check as I am afraid something has happened to her. We talked on a regular basis, but this morning we didn't. The police called me back an hour later to tell me they found her passed away on the couch. I had just talked to her the night before, about 12 hours before I got that feeling. I felt it in my heart she had left, and I was crying and praying to God before the police called me to break the news. I also pulled my son out of school before I got the news, and called my adult son to hurry to the house by me, and I called my husband home from work. I felt an overwhelming sadness and loss and emptiness feeling and the only way to explain it is I knew before I was told. I felt it.
ADCs and probable NDE.

  Kimberly W ADC 4/4/09 Kim, she said, you will just treasure this.  I was in my classroom yesterday, cleaning out my files, getting ready for a new school year.  A lone file folder fell on the floor.  I reached down and picked it up and on the outside I read  “Liz W Essay.”  I opened it up and discovered an assignment I had given out over four years ago.  The assignment was to write a letter to one of your parents, in French, telling them what they represent in your life.  Kim, this is a letter Liz wrote to you!  Now, I don’t speak French, so Jan translated it for me.  That letter was a mother’s dream.  In it Liz told me how much she loved and missed me in so many different ways.
ADC from daughter.

Celeste P ADC 3/21/09  Yesterday I had to work on my taxes.  Of course, I saw all of the bills associated with Chris’ death from 2008.  Afterwards, I felt so sad and tired, I began to cry.  I went into his library and touched some of his things, and a picture of him with Rollo.  I cried and sobbed for about 15 minutes, until I felt more tired, and even relaxed.  I allowed myself to stare into the mirror.  I just sat there in front of the mirror and stared, even closed my eyes from time to time.  After a little while I saw a dim face looking out at me.  It was Chris, and he was actually looking at me, this was not like a home movie or a photograph like the previous mirror experience.  His face moved closer, and then receded, always looking at me and smiling, as if to say, ”It’s okay, Celeste, everything will be okay.  I’m here for you, I have not really left.”  The image of his face moved back and forth several times, and then faded.  I felt comforted afterwards.
ADC from deceased husband.

  Celeste P ADC 3/21/09  Chris appeared to me just as I was about to wake up.  His apparition may have been what woke me.  He was standing at the foot of my bed, where I often feel him, but this time I saw him.  He was standing in a background of cloud or mist, and I could see him from the knees up.  He was wearing a blue denim shirt and jeans.  His hair was as he had  worn it just before he got sick again, long enough on the top to comb over to the side.  He was healthy and smiling, and he was not speaking with his lips, but his eyes were saying, “It’s okay.  I’m here for you and I love you.” I opened my eyes and his image was gone, but I knew he had been there, just as sure as I felt Quincy’s warm little body against me in bed.
ADC from deceased husband.

  Celeste P ADC 3/21/09  I had some sort of a nightmare, and woke myself up by yelling out. I don’t know what it was about, but when I opened my eyes, I saw a soft light with a sort of tail like a comet move into the room and hover over me.  It had a concerned face staring down at me for a few seconds, and was gone.  I believe this was Chris, but the face was unearthly.

  Cindi B ADC 3/21/09  Before my Mom passed, I asked my Mom for three butterflies as signs from her. When I went to Church three days following her passing, I went to a church I had not been to before and in each corner of the church wall/ceiling were 3 huge paper mache butterflies as a set in the corners of the walls, on each side, 3 each… I saw a butterfly outside on my house and I just knew it was Mom. I told the butterfly: I love you Mom. And right then the butterfly landed on my cheek and I felt a human kiss and the butterfly flew away, circling around me as it left.
Several ADCs from mother.

Celeste P ADC 3/14/09  Last night I dreamt that Chris was walking around places with me, that he was healthy and smiling.  He seemed happy and restful, and he looked youthful as he did in his late 30's.  His smile radiated that unconditional love that he always showed me.  When we ran into a group of people, they greeted us, but a few clearly said that Chris had to go back from the place he came, that he did not belong to “here”  any longer.  Chris and I walked on.  We seemed to be on sidewalks, on a pleasant day, and then stopped at an arched doorway that seemed as if it might have been an Italian café, as we used to go to.  I though we were going to go in together, but he made no move to enter with me, but spoke to me as he did when we were out on a weekend, relaxed and content. I don’t know what he said to me just then, but it was calming. I asked him if he had to go and he gave me that beautiful, sweet smile that he always had, and said,” I can ask Nietzsche anything I want to, now, and hear Beethoven play piano anytime I want to.”  I knew he was in a good place.

  Dr. HG ADC 2/28/09 From Mumbai It was around 5 or 5.30 A.M. and I was sleeping on a cart just by the window, which was opening in the road. She entered in the room from window grill in the form of bluish grey cloud. Her figure was carved out from bluish grey smoke. She was so clearly seen with a red big 'Bindi' on her forehead, green blouse and beautiful sari. She comfortably and calmly sat towards my feet. Her face was egg shaped. Her hair were long and untied and spreading down. She appeared to be around 30 years of age. I was startled and asked her 'Who are you and why you have come to me?' To my surprise, she sweetly replied, 'I am a ghost. I have died just few months back. I have come to visit the nearby house in your chawl, where I used to stay before my death. I saw you while passing, got attracted and just peeped in to see you.' I replied her, 'O.K., now you may go where you wanted to go.' She disappeared the way she appeared. … Next day, I confirmed with another neighbor if any young lady has died from the house she mentioned. I also confirmed the description of the lady, I saw. To my surprise, all details were exactly same as I was told by ghost and seen by me.

  Thamarai S’s Mother’s ADC   2/28/09  From India This experience was happened to my Mom in front of my eyes. I was just back for summer holidays from my Engineering college. It was around 4 PM in the evening. I was reading some book, my sister was taking rest. My Dad was also sitting in a chair, looking on some accounts. My Mom was sleeping. Suddenly my Mom woke, She started welcoming her mom. We got confused. My Mom asked my sister to bring coffee for her grandma, We were literally confused and shook her to bring to reality. She thought it may be a dream. With in another hour we got the news from my grandma's village saying she died at 4:00PM. As there was n telephone, a person came to home carrying the message. As my mother was only daughter in the entire big family we thought she came to see her for a last moment.
Mother received ADC from his Grandmother around her time of death.  Grandmother was in remote village of India where they did not have phone service & her death was unexpected.

  Deborah R ADC 2/28/09  From Canada I must have fallen into a sleep-like state but I can remember all of a sudden being aware of a "warmth" or a "presence" that seemed to be warm in color (oranges and yellows and reds) that seemed to be staying in one spot, but pulsating or sort of breathing.....it was just to the left side of my bed and I could feel the warmth radiating from it. I knew that if I reached my hand out I would be able to feel it but I did not.  My eyes were closed and I remember thinking that if I opened my eyes, the presence would disappear or go away.  I was not at all frightened.  The really overwhelming thing is that the presence was communicating the most abundantly reassuring feelings of warmth, love peace and understanding to me in a most loving way, without any words being used at all.  I knew this was a "male" presence…
ADC from Stepfather.

  Patti B ADC 2/15/09 Then I felt myself just roll out of my body, through my forehead maybe, and Immediately Steve was excitedly talking to me, telepathically.  He said, “I love it here!  I don’ have to eat, or drink, but I can if I want to. There’s no need to bathe, I’m an energy (astral body) I just zap around through space, and then suddenly we were going really fast, and I was in my astral body, and we were crossing back and forth, THROUGH EACH OTHER, and each time our energies touched, it felt warm, like a sweet loving hug, and this happened 5 or 6 times. Later on, I thought it felt similar to making love.  We were going really fast, and it was dark, and I never did see him with my eyes, but with my brain, and he was energy, similar to a swarm of bees, and it was him and his voice.

Kathy F ADC 2/15/09 He still said nothing but he reached for my hand and I at first held it back because I was a little bit afraid because I knew he was dead but still he was in front of me and it was like he knew what I was thinking and he just smiled and grabbed my hand anyway.  He pulled it toward him and then he put my wedding ring which had been lost or stolen for many years back on my finger and then he just said "I still love you Kathy" and as fast as he appeared he was gone.  I jumped up and immediately put my hand up to look at my ring he had just put on my finger totally expecting it to be there but it wasn't.  It was so real that still to this day I know I wasn't dreaming but I must of been or the ring would of been there.  That was the only experience I ever had since he died 15 years ago and I remember it as vividly as if it happened yesterday.

  Tree S ADC 2/15/09 This is about a dog.  Merly died on my grandmother's 100th birthday. He has expanded my world extraordinarily since his death. Most of my life I have lived separated from my family and apart from relatives. "My" animals became my steadfast family. I am a fraternal twin. My twin brother, Daniel, died eleven days after we were born. For as long as I can remember I have felt he is watching over me...and that we both live, though perhaps not in the same place. A stray dog showed up in my life when a frightening period was beginning to unfold.  He came with the name Merlin. A cool little guy who was half Australian Cattle dog and half Australian Shepherd.  He was calm and intelligent, with prick ears, starred crown, and a black patch over one eye. The day he appeared is the birthday of a long-cherished friend.   He was a comic and a dancer. During the most frightening years of my life, he gave me love and laughter. His pupils were large with love when he looked at me. His coat was exquisitely soft to the touch.

Da'Lairr R ADC 2/15/09 Soon after my mother passed away in Sept. 08 I began seeing this small ball of light out of the corner of my eye. it seemed to be happening more often when she first passed (as in several times a day) and now it only happens once or twice a day. I mostly see the light in the evening. and most frequently in my staircase where I have a large picture of her hanging. when it first began to occur I called my aunt (my mother's sister) and told her of the strange happening. she told me that she too has been witnessing this light. she was practically finishing my sentences for me while I was describing the occurrences to her, indicating that she knew exactly what I was talking about. she went on to explain that she had at first felt that there was something wrong with her eyes and had actually scheduled an appointment with her eye doctor. after speaking with me we both concluded that it had to be my mother possibly trying to communicate with us or send some type of message.

  Daniel A ADC 2/15/09 While sitting at my computer, I noticed a fragrance that reminded me of "old ladies' perfume". It's a smell that I've always associated with something an older woman would wear, probably due to having smelled in on them in my youth. It's probably more of a bath powder than perfume, however. So, I smelled it and wondered where it was coming from. Sometimes the chemical plants in Pasadena, which isn't too far away, will produce odors when the wind shifts, but I think I've smelled all of them in the 7 years that I've lived here, and there are really only 2 that I'm aware of, and neither smells like perfume...
ADC from Aunt.

  Leah ADC 2/15/09  I many simultaneous thoughts, 1) how did that happen, nothing else had fallen or moved on the shelf 2) no one could have been in the house the alarm was set 3) if it had been a mouse or vibrations from a large truck on the street, something else surely would have moved and 4) how interesting that it fell and landed in a standing position. No more time for thoughts, my friend was honking in my driveway. We went out and I got home around 10:30. I was again at the foot of my bed taking off my clothes and getting ready for bed and again I noticed that the little rubber pony was still on the floor, but now its hind legs were bent and it was in a sitting position and I immediately knew it was my Mom. I knew that was her way of just connecting. When I had left home to attend college, I would visit throughout the year and upon getting back to my new home when I was unpacking, I would always find a toy from my childhood that Mom had snuck into my suitcase. it was her way of "connecting"
