I'd had a slight tiff with my boyfriend 2-3 days before and we had not talked after that. The night he died, around 9.30pm, I wanted to call him and make up but my ego wouldn't permit it. So I did not call. At around 12.30 that night, when I was sleeping, I had a dream of him, which I do not remember, but I woke up and sat up in my bed to find someone standing at the door (towards the foot of my bed) leading from my bedroom to the living room and watching me intently. I knew that it was someone's spirit (was not scared at all) but could not make the connection. I prayed for the poor soul, and went back to sleep. Got to know the next morning that he had died at around the same time that I'd seen him. That's when it hit me that the soul I'd seen looked like him, the build etc.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience?           Experience was definitely real

            Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:           Because there were many more things that happened immediately after his death, for instance, I could smell a mix of his body odor mixed with his favorite cologne at  the oddest of times and places, sometimes while driving to work etc.  

I also found a message on my answering machine from him which I was not aware existed since our communication was always over the mobile phones.  

I could also sense his presence many times, was even hugged a couple of times. 

One particular time, 12 days after his death, I woke up to hear a lot of noise in my room as if he was extremely restless and moving around. The moment I opened my eyes, I was pulled up from my left arm and he said, very angrily, "come with me". That definitely wasn't a dream because I asked him to leave, that he did not belong here anymore, and the noise stopped all of a sudden as he left.

I have also had this very heavy clay bell hanging in my room ring when I asked him to send me a signal that he was around. One particular time, on a special day, the bell kept ringing by itself off and on all day, even if there was no wind or anything that could make it move. 

I would also hear doors knocking for many months after his death, specially my bathroom door, and in my heart knew that it was him.

            Was the experience dream like in any way?   No

Describe in detail your feelings/emotions during the experience:           I initially thought it could be my grandmother's soul, who had passed away 4 months back, but knew that she was happy wherever she was. Therefore, I just prayed for peace and happiness for the one I'd seen.

I'd heard that when a person is dying, their soul visits the people that it loves. I was assured of his love for me.
