I woke up to find something on the end of my bed. it was a blue plasma (gassy)  outline...very detailed outline. the message was that my dad was sick. I wasn't scared. it was my brother. I don't remember a voice...more like an understanding without talking this happened around 3am. I called my dad on the phone after it was no more and he reported to me that my brother had just delivered him the same message. my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer a few months later. my partner at the time did not question that it happened. I don't remember what involvement my partner had...
