From a spiritualist pov, Liberated, I think this is your higher self speaking to you through dreams, etc. I have this happen all the time where I get a song stuck in my head and then it plays on the radio, or I think of someone and then the phone rings and it's them on the other end.
I have read about these types of phenomena quite a bit and believe it is a way for our 'guardian angels' or 'spirit guides' if you will to communicate with us. They can also use electrical fields, like turning the lights on and off and making them flicker and stuff like that.
The other week I was preparing to book a flight home with Delta Airlines (who had a very bad reputation when I was a kid. We used to make jokes about them in the schoolyard) when the circuit breaker for all the wall outlets in my flat tripped cutting off the power to my phone and computer so I lost my connection with the lady I was talking to at Delta. I took this as a sign that I should NOT fly with Delta and therefore am looking at flying with another airline when I go home.
I may sound like a bit of a kook to some people here but since I was a child I have always had this gut feeling that I had been on this earth before in the past. My mom always used to tell me that she believed me to be an old soul and there are many instances where I get the feeling that I have seen or experienced a particular event or sensation in a past life.
Ever since my grandparents passed away I have at times felt them around me. I don't see them but I just get a mental image of them and a feeling that someone is watching over me. When I got hit by a car crossing the street the other week I think 'someone' was there as I really should have had more injuries than a fractured humerus and some bruises, I mean I went FLYING through the air and landed in the middle of the road but my clothes weren't even torn or scratched or anything! My shin took the brunt of the impact from the car when the bumper hit it but it didn't break the bone and only left a small bruise.... I dunno....
