Experience description:

My aunt and I both had the same dream on the one year anniversary of my dads death. Hers was a night after mine but almost the exact same dream. I dreamed I was sitting in my dad's apartment apartment on his couch with him and I said to him, you know you passed away? He said yes, and he was sorry, that he didn't mean to die. We hugged. This is all I remember of  the dream. I can't be sure it wasn't just a dream but people say the deceased can communicate through dreams, and it felt significant because it was my first dream in which he spoke to me since he passed away, on the one year anniversary, and my aunt (his sister) had the exact same dream only one night later, which she believes was him.

I also want to mention an anomaly that happened. When my father passed away it was a month after I had moved into his apartment building. Naturally it was my job to empty his apartment  after he passed as I lived the closest. Anyway I was there emptying his apartment one day and I noticed that somehow my rain stick which was in my apartment had moved near the doorway to his apartment. I have no explanation for how it moved or when. I know it wasn't me who moved it though. I've had a number of mysterious anomalies happen since, as well.

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION 2445:

 My mother and I were attending a "grieving mindfully" seminar together to hear a talk about using mindfulness when grieving. We both had our cell phones in our purses untouched. Hers was turned off and put into a cell case.  As we left I pulled out my phone and noticed u had 3 missed calls. Somehow my mom's cell phone called mine 3 times and left 3 messages of static. She pulled her phone out of her purse and out of the case and saw it had turned itself on and called me.  We cannot explain it but we think it was my dad communicating with us to say not to grieve and that he is still around.
