My visits to the summerland/Contact with my Spirit Guide

[poeticblue]

Hi everyone. I am here to tell you that I officially believe without a shadow of a doubt in my mind that these spirit guides exist. It took a good amount of dreams and incidences that have happened over the course of my whole 27 years on this earth to finally stop doubting everything. I woke up this morning and I can honestly say that all of this is real, we are always being watched over, and that we are never alone. I know that this may belong in other sections of the forum but I didnt know where exactly to post it.

Let me start out by saying that I kinda do have a "gift" (as Roberta had put it in another thread of mines), of remembering my visits to the summerlands in my sleep. I wont tell of them all in this thread but I can tell you one of my most longest dreams(which isnt very long). I can only remember very short "snippets" when I have these dreams. Hopefully with time I can somehow remember more and more.

So with that being said, in my younger twenties I had a dream that I saw a very androgynous woman walking in a building. She looked to be Caucasian, had very broad shoulders, short pixie like hair, and was very tall. It dawned on me at that moment that I was dreaming (lucid as you may call it) and I have always had lucid dreams ever since I was a child. I thought to myself that I must ask her a question before I wake up. I started to lose my sight of her and started to panic thinking I would wake up any minute and finally I turned around and she was standing right in front of me. I shouted out in panic "What is the name of my spirit guide?" She took her hand, placed it on my shoulder, and told me in a very gentle voice to "remain calm and that it is Kristen". Then she was trying to show me something on some kind of display board but I couldn’t make out what she was trying to show me. I turned my head and she was gone. Realizing that I am somehow able to stay in this "dream" I noticed a door that was slightly open so I went and opened the door and the light that came out of it was brilliant. I had somehow transitioned to another place. First thing I saw were these little kids playing near a pond or a lake. All of them had full cheeks, happy, and filled with laughter. They were blowing bubbles only the bubbles weren't small nor did they pop like how they do here on earth. They were huge and they stayed afloat in the air. I just couldnt take my eyes off of these bubbles that these children were blowing. The rainbow colors in them was magnified alot more than what one is normally use to seeing on earth. And I was looking at them float up into the sky and I noticed that there were people in the sky haha. Speaking of the sky.. it was golden.. kinda orangey gold. Like a sunset but still bright as if there was a sun.. but there was no sun. There was another lake near where the children were playing and flowers everywhere. Inside this other lake were humongous colorful koi fish. I’m telling you these koi fish would put koi fish on earth to SHAME. I'm thinking to myself that I've never seen so much water and nature everywhere. No roads, no cars.. just one big beautiful piece of land filled with nature. Now here on earth I'm not a big fan of being outside and playing in water and sitting under a tree and exploring nature AT ALL. The bugs and humidity get on my nerves and to be honest nature walks bore me to death. But what I was seeing and feeling in my dream was very much different. The opposite of the atmosphere here. I wanted to stay. I wanted to see more. I wanted to jump in the water. I know I sound like a kid talking about it but it was really just exciting to me. And the thing that gets me when I look back on this dream was that I was alone by myself at this point and yet I did not feel alone. The people there wore either regular clothes like you and I or white robes. The children and younger people I see in these dreams usually wore regular clothes and the adults usually wore white robes. I sometimes find myself looking down to see what I am wearing and I’m sometimes wearing normal clothes and I am sometimes wearing a robe. So its your choice! You can wear anything you want! I then felt myself levitate off of the ground and that was when I woke up. I have had alot more of these visits that I will save for other threads one day. I remember these visits about once a month. Each one with the same plush landscape, lakes, flowers, sunset sky, and I'm either levitating or flying. I wish I can remember them in even more detail but I cannot.

So lets fast forward to now when I contacted my spirit guide last night. I had a friend that I would speak to everyday about spirituality and life and he has told me that he enjoys these types of conversations with me and that he sometimes never wants these conversations to end.. so everything seemed happy and dandy until I got into one of my moods. He called me and I told him that I did not want to talk and that somehow led to a conversation about my trust issues. He was telling me how great of a person that I am and how I needed to share that with other people and not close myself off when I get scared. I knew that what he was saying was correct but I got defensive and said that its best if we not talked anymore. He seemed shocked by it and inside I'm thinking that wasn’t the right thing to do but we hung up the phone and I prayed last night asking for my guide to visit me in my sleep because I needed some guidance.

Now here is the climax of what I am trying to tell everybody. That night when I went to sleep I had a dream where I heard a woman’s voice speak to me as if she was speaking mentally inside my head but I could not see her face. She told me that I need to continue my friendship with "him" (my friend) , because he is in great need of my spiritual help at this moment in time and that he needs my guidance. I couldn’t remember much of what was said after that and it all became a blur. I woke up later and I heard the same woman’s voice say "hello Bianca" which is my name . I heard it as if she was right next to me. My heart skipped a beat and I looked around my room and just laid in bed for a few minutes thinking about what just happened in my dream. I soundly went back to sleep and when I was driving on my way to work this morning I'm thinking that even though I was given the advice to re-connect with my friend that maybe he was too mad at me and wouldn’t want to speak with me. So I had already made up in my head that I wasn’t going to say anything and view this as another lesson learned. Then all of a sudden I received a text on my phone from my friend saying that he already misses talking to me. I was blown away and in shock!!

So after I finish posting this I will apologize to him and tell him about my dream and guidance I received. You never know how much of an impact you are making in somebody’s life whether you realize it or not. I can’t believe that even when my guide gave me advice I was so close to still ignoring it out of my own fear of rejection.

The afterlife is alive and well my friends. Pray at night to remember your dreams and visits.

Wow, what a wonderful experience this was! You're very lucky to be able to remember these types of things so frequently! Everyone goes to the Summerland most nights whilst asleep, but very few people remember it - and even fewer remember it with as many details you are able to. I look forward to reading any future experiences that you feel comfortable posting!

I am very glad that this has convinced you of the truth that you are not alone and that you have guidance. Everything thing that you have mentioned in this experience is consistent both with the dead people's general descriptions of areas in the Summerland, and with those few accounts that I have seen from the living.

For example, the Summerland sky is extremely full of love and light, but yet there is no sun. The colors are magnified in intensity there, and there are even some colors that are not on the visible-light spectrum, so they are impossible for the living to imagine. The Summerland is incredibly huge, and there are city-like constructions in some areas, but there is most certainly a plethora of nature. As you mention, it is like earth, but without the negatives - such as heat and humidity.

It is also amazing that you were able to find out the name of your spirit guide. Did you get the sense that that particular woman you saw was your spirit guide, or that she was someone else? Either way it is remarkable that you were able to remember this experience as well. Clearly you are meant to remember!

I'm glad you have been convinced to follow your guide's advice and keep in touch with your friend - I think that that path will yield the best results for both of you. You can always trust your guide, she will never lead you astray!

Hi Andrew.. you were just reading my mind. It is funny that you asked me whether or not I felt if this particular woman that I saw in my dream was my spirit guide. As I was typing all of what I said earlier it just dawned on me that she just may have been her! Because when I franticly asked her what my spirit guides name was she didn't say "her name is" or "his name is" she just gently told me to be calm and that it's Kristen. But she said it in a way as if she was referring to herself. You know like she was telling me her own name and not some other person. All these years I never put two and two together until today when I typed this whole thing out. I was like wait a minute.. that was her! So to answer your question, at the time I most certainly knew she was a spiritual being based off of her "stature" and the "calmness" that I always notice about people in the summerlands. But never till today did it dawn on me that it was my spirit guide. I was just happy to have had my question answered at the time and it happened several years ago when my mind wasn't completely made up about the spirit guide thing hence why I was seeking answers such as my guides name in my sleep.

I know I just keep rambling on and on but this kind of stuff is so exciting to me now because I now know what I've been dreaming about. I mean some of the scenery you would have thought came straight out of a fantasy movie and I don't watch fantasy at all. I'm more of a thriller and horror fan myself. But anyways, yes yes yes the white buildings as I mentioned briefly in my other thread... they were everywhere! This happened in another dream where I was walking with another person and we both were wearing white flowing "robed" like clothing..not like shower robes obviously and not even like the typical roman clothing although some were! But I remember the person I was walking with was wearing a VERY long sleeved white top and the sleeves were very loose and flowing.. almost so loose and flowing that you could probably fit somebody's leg through the sleeves but it was very pretty and she had a long flowing skirt to match (so at a glace it may have looked like she was wearing something robed like) but it wasn't.. and I was wearing sort of the same. We were headed to some sort of event that was taking place and we were walking down a path following the other people who were headed in the same direction and they too as well were wearing white flowing clothing. You know we use cars and trains and so forth to get to where we are going here on earth but everybody was walking by foot. I remember rose bushes surrounding some of the buildings and the cobblestone/concrete paths we were walking on. I say concrete but I'm not sure if that's what it really was. Again these buildings were white and very pretty. Like something you would find in Rome Italy centuries ago . I say that and still I cant even compare them to anything here on earth. This was more of the "city part" ... more people with more activity ... my memory started to fade and I woke up as soon as the person next to me started to tell me something (that always seems to happen) .. but I knew in this dream she was just a friend I was walking with. Dont even get me started on the sky again! On more than one occasion I have taken a glimpse at the sky and the only thing I can compare it to is the most beautiful sunset but brighter (not dim like how we would normally see it when its about to get dark)... the sky as I saw it was mostly a deep orange, yellow, and red with some purple and blue colors mixed all together! I dont even see how blue and purple mixes with all the rest of those colors but there it does!

I contacted my friend just like my guide told me too and he confirmed exactly what my guide told me in my dream before I even told him about the dream! To quote him he said "I have made a difference in his life."

Hi Bianca, thank you for sharing your experience, it surely is amazing!!!

I dream a lot too, and remember most of my dreams, but I think they are just dreams as whatever is see is always like our earth and it involves people I know on this earth.

It would be amazing if one day I would remember my summerland dream!

Cheers

Hi Wonderer. Being able to remember your dreams is the first step to how it started with me which I've always been able to do since my childhood. And like you, they were normal dreams with people I knew...

It wasnt until my late teenage years when I was going through a very difficult time in my life that I began to have these glimpses of somewhere else. I remember the first time it happend to me, I woke up and the first thought that came to my head was that was the place where we go when we die. Funny cause I remember Andrew stating that when we wake up usually the first thoughts that come to our head is from our spirit guide. I have never even heard of the term "summerland" at the time. I immediatley started to cry. I tried to tell my friends what happend and that this experience was very real but they would always give me a blank stare as if it was impossible and that it was only just a dream. So I thought that maybe they were right. But then these glimpses kept happening again and again and again so I started to do some research about the afterlife and learned that we went there in our sleep. Blew me away. I never knew that back then. So I began to pray and ask that I remember more and gradually over time I did! I dream every night usually about family or work.. but like I said, I get a short glimpse of the summerlands about once a month (that I can remember).

Hi Bianca,

So maybe, by time, I will have a Summerland dream!

Having said that, I do have weird dreams sometimes that feel sooo real. Mostly, they are nice but the worst one was this. I was in a small dark room, and this dark entity (looked like a devil hehe) was grabbing me through one of my hands and smashing me with the walls. I felt powerless. Woke up quite shaken that day. I also remember many nice dreams of weird places I've never been before doing strange things, like flying etc.

Oh well, our brain has lots of creativity too, but maybe some of these were in some other dimension.

And for a long time I struggled with what you just mentioned. Is this just my brain making up stuff ? Am I just being creative in my sleep? But in time, you will be able to tell the difference between a fear dream, a dream you had because of what you saw on television, a dream that you had because you had too much to drink, a dream that you had because it was symbolic to something in your life.. ect... I've learned that not every nice dream I have is the summerlands and I can tell automatically when I am there and when I'm not.

For example, the other night I dreamt that me, my father, and my mother was living in a very beautiful house. And I looked outside and saw these very beautiful colorful houses with beautiful scenery and it was a place I've never seen or been before. Cute little kittens running around everywhere too. I knew that this dream was only a symbolic dream of me wanting the childhood I never had which was me, my father, and my mother happy as a family. I grew up in a broken home and cats are my favorite type of animal which is why I probably dreamt of so many running around. This dream was a good dream but had nothing to do with the summerlands.

The bad dreams that you have you can learn from. I have my fair share of the bad dreams all the time. Alot of them, when I took a closer look, was only a projection of my state of mind at that moment in time. I've dreamt of floods, being held hostage, hiding from foot soldiers, house fires, my daughter dying numerous times. Horrific dreams. But in these dreams you can learn alot about what your subconsiousness is trying to tell you. Pray to remember your visits to the summerlands. You've probably rememered but thought it was just your "mind making it up". But like I said, in time you will be able to tell the difference between what was real and what was just made up by your own creative mind

Hi Vic! I'm glad that you read them with delight because sometimes I say to myself to stop talking lol. I can't seem to make any reply without typing a whole paragraph or more. I've had very vivid dreams since I was little (mostly night terrors and just plain weird dreams) and they use to scare me at times because they felt so real. Then as I got older, I realized that there was nothing I could do to make these dreams go away. So in order to better understand what I was dreaming about and not be so afraid when I went to sleep, I decided to do some research. I found myself in the bookstore every single day reading about dreams and symbolisms and how it relates to our everyday lives. I then asked my myself if what I was reading seemed close to the truth as to what was going on. And it was. So after researching I was able to go to sleep and have these vivid dreams and not be so afraid because I knew that most of what I was dreaming was just a projection of what my subconsciousness was feeling. But something different began to happen.

I began to have very beautiful dreams. Dreams that had no symbolism that I could relate to subconsciously at all because my life at the time was anything but happy. I began to dream about people dressed in white that I did not know. I began to fly and levitate more. I began to hear something like a "radio frequency" type noise before I went to sleep and had these dreams, and I can hear other people conversating. Other people in some sort of other place. Funny thing is I was not scared at all when this happened and I sleep with a nightlight! I began to consistently see in these "beautiful dreams" a white horse that would greet me on more than one occasion. I have no clue why I kept seeing this horse. This is when I started researching about the afterlife and I read somewhere that we visited this place in our sleep but we "choose" to not remember because it would be too painful for us to remember because we are all kinda homesick. Well I guess I am the few who do remember. I actually prayed over the years for a very long time to remember and now I can. I have cried a couple times after having these dreams because I did not want to wake up ever again..so I can understand the part about "choosing" not to remember. But since I've made up my mind about continuing my life on earth no matter how painful it is.. I can handle having these visits alot better and I do enjoy them very much so.

I love your posts, too. I don't mind reading your long paragraphs. I am so jealous, I wish I could have dreams like you do. All I want to do is dream of my boyfriend (who recently passed) just to know he's okay. Maybe some day if I'm lucky.
