I'm just going to start this discussion by explaining how I began seeing the other side as a child.
I remember when I was very young, seeing shadows walking, milling about the foot of my bed, and in my bedroom at night. I would scream, terrified at the sight, and my mother would come rushing back in to reassure me. She'd put on the lights and show me that there was no one in the room. Of course, as soon as the lights were out, and she was gone, there would be those shadows once again.
As I grew older, I began to ignore them, believing I wasn't seeing anything. I stayed that way for a long time.
After 9/11 I had a nightmare, where I was in a gigantic room filled with thousands of people. The room reminded me of an old time school cafeteria, filled with those long folding lunch table/benches. I was somehow in one of the isles and people were coming up to me, beseeching me to get a message to someone.
The dream terrified me to the point that I woke up crying. I cried for at least a week, or more. I was desperate to forget it, to ignore it, but I couldn't. I never saw those people again, but I did come to realize that I had to do something. I couldn't ignore a plea to get a message across. I had no right to ignore such a plea.
I began to think of it like the USPS ignoring mail. I couldn't.
So, I started talking back to them, and eventually connecting them to loved ones.... and I'm still doing it. I don't always get to connect everyone, but I do try my best.
To all those that came to me in that terrifying dream, ... I'm sorry.
If there is anyone out there that I can help, I'm willing to try.
