Silver Eyes
Dear Paranormal Insider,
I was really sick and depressed last week. I was emptying
garbage cans around the house and I glanced up to see a
pair of silver eyes floating in my bedroom. There was no
body attached or even eyelashes or eyebrows, just 2 silver
eyes about the height of a person floating in mid air.
As soon as my eyes met theirs, they disappeared. I talked
to a few friends about this and they say I am under a lot
of stress. One friend told me it could be my guardian
angel. I didn't feel scared or nervous just very curious
like, "What the hell is that?" What is your opinion on
this? Please let me know.
Curious & Confused---Donna
(Hi, Donna. We are usually more open to psychic and
paranormal experiences when we are in an altered and/or
weakened state. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these
eyes were a spirit guide's.)
Animal Spirit Guides
Hi. I have a question that has been stirring in my mind
recently. Many years ago, I was very depressed. I had a
lot of confusion about certain issues in my life, and would
frequently go to the local state park/beach to get some
comfort. (I am a Pisces, and I find the ocean extremely
calming) One winter morning, I got in my car to go to work,
but instead found myself going to the beach. I was standing
crying on the deserted beach, when a man approached me. He
said he saw I was upset, and wanted to take me out for a
drink (it was about 8:30 am). I declined, but he didn't
leave. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large dog came and stood
at my side. The man got frightened and started to walk
away. The dog followed him until he got into his car, then
came back to my side. After the man left, the dog ran off
down the beach. I looked around for the owner, but the dog
was gone, and the beach was still deserted. I never really
thought too much about it, but lately it's come to mind a
lot. I never doubted that it was a real dog, but could it
have been sent to protect me from this man who might have
tried to harm me? I was in a very vulnerable state of mind
at the time. I have only recently started to delve into
other forms of spirituality, and the more I think about
that incident, the more I believe that the dog was sent
to protect me. What is your take on this?
Laurie
(Hi, Laurie. I agree - it seems as if this dog was
definitely sent to protect you. 'Dog' may be your animal
spirit guide or totem, but it may also have been a one-
time appearance or manifestation sent by your spirit
guides/angels to protect you in that particular instant.
Either way, I am very happy to hear you were so protected.)
Large Plants
Hi. I've never typed to you before, but read your columns
all the time. I was wondering why you mentioned the large
potted plants and ficus to the person that felt dizzy when
he entered a room. I have a 17 year old that is giving us
some major trouble, which I consider to be crossing the
line of normal teenage problems. May this be the reason?
He's asked for the plant not to be outside of his room and
asked that the African violets I had in the bathroom be
removed. Can you find an explanation for this please?
Thanks and Blessings accompany this note.
Laura
(Hi, Laura. I mentioned the large potted plants because of
a vision I had and it was specifically for the person who
had written in. The only thing I know about African Violet
is its metaphysical properties. This plant is used to
create harmonious vibrations in love and friendship, and
it promotes spirituality and protection. Perhaps some of
our readers will have suggestions as to why your household
plants have been troubling your son.)
Hey Zsuzsana,
Perhaps you and/or your readers can help a friend of mine.
We've noticed that she has been developing a lot of
negative energy within and around her over the years...this
past year it is to the point that it is scaring her a bit.
We've also noticed that some of our friends avoid being
around her. She is a lot of fun to be around, but you can
almost see the dark clouds or shadows hovering around her.
No, we can't actually see them, but we can feel it. She
laughs about it, but you can tell she's very uneasy about
this.
Do you or anybody out there have any suggestions on what
we can do to bring back the positive energy that she used
to have? We thought about going to a psychic in our
neighborhood for a cleansing, but would like to get others
thoughts on that. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions
we can use.
L.W.
(Hi, L.W. Definitely I would recommend that your friend
consider a cleansing, either with a reputable psychic or
Reiki practitioner, or something along that line. Please
bear in mind, though, that the holistic approach should
be used in conjunction with professional advice or
treatment, and not as a replacement for qualified medical
or therapeutic care.)

Dreams of My Mother
I wanted to comment on the person who saw her mother after
she had passed in dreams. I was 18 when my mother passed
away. She was 38 years old. I was homeless for awhile after
she passed and just after the funeral, I was asked to be a
live-in nanny for someone I knew. They knew I was a good
person and wanted to help me out and had no place to go
and I could help them out as well.
Anyhow, the first night I was there, I woke to see my mom
in the room with me. This wasn't a dream. She scared me
so bad that I asked her to leave even though my world was
crushed at her death and passing. She knew I was gifted.
I have been gifted since child birth, however, I never
liked seeing the spirits. Feeling them I can deal with but
seeing them always scared me. She had told me that she had
to tell me a few things and she would go...she said she
loved me and to tell my brothers she loves them and to
especially watch and take care of my older brother. He
was going to have problems. He does to this day. She died
in 1992. My older brother is a drug addict now and a lot
is blamed on my mom's passing. Then she was gone.
Since then, I have dreams of my mom. Her face to is blurry
or unclear. She never looks at me or speaks to me. It's
almost as if I am not there. I always hate this because I
can't communicate with her and the one chance I had, I
told her to leave. I have vivid dreams, always have, some
repetitive, some warnings, others just dreams from the
subconscious mind. Most of my dreams are nightmarish, not
pleasant. I partially know why.
I have read several dream books but all are bogus to me. I
would like to hear what others have to say as well. I have
been a member of The Paranormal Insider for years and have
written many times. Welcome, Zsuzsana!!!! Can I ask what
happened to Gus? Peace to all!
Peace, Love, and Light - G
(Hi, G. Thank you to you and all our readers who have made
me feel so welcome here! I am sorry, I have no idea what
happened to Gus but I am grateful that he paved the way
for me so expertly here at The Paranormal Insider. Dream
interpretation, in my opinion, needs to be specific to
what is going on in your life, your past experiences, your
emotions, your subconscious, etc., so while dream
dictionaries and guides are helpful, they certainly cannot
answer all our questions. I am planning a future issue on
dreams and dream interpretation, but as you can imagine,
it is a huge topic! I hope one of our readers will give
you some comments and insights in the meantime.)
Crows
Is there any meaning to crows who seem to gather in groups,
stare and caw at a particular house? We have a neighbor who
is rather shady and appears to be involved in some kind of
illegal activity. This neighbor's house is subject to crows
landing on power lines and watching their house. If someone
comes out they start to caw loudly. Sometimes it's one to
three crows, but there have been as many as twelve at a
time. Just curious if this has some kind of paranormal
meaning.
Charlie
(Hello, Charlie. The crow is a symbol of conflict, war and
death and destruction. Its skill is wisdom with trickery.
It is also a protector of sacred records. The crow comes to
help you to learn from the past, and it also comes to help
you when you need a bit of cunning and trickery. The crow's
shape-shifting quality is: cunning, watchful of others and
noisy when there is a threat to its territory. These crows
could be there as spirit messengers for you, or your
neighbours, but I suspect they are there for your benefit.)
Dream names
I wrote to you and you published my story of Penny telling
my mom when we'd be home. I am a firm believer. My niece
reads Tarot and so did my sister. I have seen deceased
people, as my relatives have, also. But now I have a
question--why do I dream names? I do not recognize them and
have no idea why it happens. One of the first names was
Connie MacViolet. Then there was Fideladoon, and a dog
named Normie and the list grows. I went to Google with some
of the names, but they came up blank, so there is no
connection. It does not bother me, but I am curious as to
why I dream these names and if there is any significance.
Any ideas? El
(Hi, El. This happens to me frequently as well, and like
you, I usually go to Google and type in the names to see if
anything comes up that might ring a bell of recognition or
lead me to a message. I remember a few years ago I dreamed
of some strange sounding names at the time the police were
looking for the snipers in Virginia and when I researched
the words, they were actually street names right in the
neighbourhood where some of the shootings had occurred. As
for the names that I can't connect to anything, I just put
them down to happenings or people in places that I am
probably never going to know about - but that doesn't mean
that they aren't relevant, just that waking life isn't
going to afford me the opportunity to find the
connection:>))
Hi Zsuzsana,
I have a question that may be related to an animal guide.
All my life I have felt close to wolves. I have many
statues and representations of them in my home. I feel the
closest connection to the arctic wolf itself but feel a
connection with all wolves. Now I grew up and spent all
my life in the city. I enjoy camping on a regular basis
and have noticed that I sleep better and feel more content
in the woods. In fact when I am at home I usually have a CD
of recorded forest sounds including wolf howls playing when
I sleep. I would like to get your opinion and your readers'
opinions of what this could mean. I eagerly await your
response.
Justin
(Hi, Justin. It certainly sounds like wolf is a major guide
for you, and/or than you have wolf medicine. Wolf people
are friendly, social, and highly intelligent, great
teachers and often very psychic. Just type 'wolf animal
guides' or wolf medicine' into your search engine and you
will find tons of info.)
Dear Zsuzsana,
I've been reading Paranormal Insider for several months and
it's my favorite e-mail to open, every time.
I'd like your take on something that happened to me a few
weeks ago. Whether it's the paranormal or something else,
it haunts me terribly.
My only sibling, my brother Steven, took his life a few
years ago, which has made a terrible impact on my own.
One night, I don't think I was sleeping yet, but in what
I thought was a dream, Steven came to me. He told me I
could ask him anything I liked, and as I tried to think
of what I most wanted to ask, he cautioned me that he
hadn't much time. I asked him if this was a dream and
he assured me it wasn't, and pressed my hand so hard he
convinced me, as well. So I blurted,
"Are you happy? I mean, are you glad you did it?" And
to my horror, he replied,
"No. I wish I hadn't; this is terrible."
This has been on my mind so much since it happened. I
cannot seem to shake the feeling that it wasn't a dream
at all, and my brother is in a state of discontent.
I hope you can shed some light here; I'd appreciate it
more than you could know.
Sincerely,
T. Goddard Moon
(Hi. I'm so very sorry to hear about your brother, and
your distress about what appears to be a unhappy 'visit'
from him. In this type of situation, many people would
consider having a session with a psychic medium who could
attempt to contact Steve's spirit. I hope any of our
readers who have had similar experiences will write in
and share their advice.)
For the Woman Who Saw Her Mother in a Dream 3 Times
Zsuzsana,
This woman is very fortunate. Yes, her mother was trying
to tell her something, but because most of us don't pay
attention to our dreams as we get more "tech savvy", we
pass it off. Anyway, this is what I can tell from that
short letter. The woman does miss her mother, and if
you don't miss a parent when that person dies, you are
not normal in my book.
I would recommend that if this woman ever sees her mother
in a dream again, to just ask her mother to speak to her.
Nothing grand, I admit, but it will be soothing to her
nerves. Before our technology became so advanced, some
people got their news via dreams (trust me, I'm no loon.
I have read this somewhere). As for the pet ghosts, we
all have a favorite pet that we miss. Maybe they miss us
too.
Good luck,
MR. Shannon D. Freeman (Emphasis on the Mister, I get
mistaken for a woman every time. Who knows, maybe I was
a woman in a past life, if such a thing exists),
Benton, KY
(Thank you, Shannon. I agree that dream messages are very
important and a great method of communication with both
our subconscious as well as the world of spirit. I also
think that speaking to spirits out loud gives us a better
'connection'.)

Live Hauntings
The first few months of 2005, I kept on having dreams about
the house I grew up in, in El Paso. I knew it was my house
but sometimes things had been changed about it. In some I
was sort of floating, as if I was a ghost. Sometimes I was
a real person and the house had been moved, once I felt I
was in upper New York state, which I've never even visited.
In one dream the house had been moved to where I now live,
over 700 miles away, and I was living in the house with my
husband, son and one of my coworkers and her kids. And
several of my other coworkers were living in the house
next door.
In another dream, the front door had been moved to where
the large picture window is. When I went to float thru the
door I felt like I hit the window and bounced off. I then
saw a woman inside and I had scared her really bad, I could
even feel her fear.
Another time I was floating in the corner of the master
bedroom but it had been redecorated. I still wonder if the
new owner had painted the walls mauve and I was in the
room as it is now.
In another dream I tried to go through one of the many
French doors and got through but made a loud bang in the
process. I felt someone's fear and woke up.
Another time I was floating in the upper corner of the
kitchen and there was a woman with curly black hair fixing
something. She turned around and looked up at me. I don't
think she really saw me but she saw something and it scared
her. Again, I could feel her fear and again, I woke up.
I had these dreams every night, sometimes several times a
night, for 3-4 months and it happened to be while I was
going through chemo. I got so tired of these dreams because
they weren't comforting at all. I had them so often, I felt
I was obsessing about the house and wanted to stop. I even
jokingly remarked to my mother that I wouldn't be surprised
if I was haunting our old house.
What really was strange is that a few months later my
friend, who still lives in El Paso, asked if my old house
was haunted. She heard that the new owner had called the
police because she kept on hearing noises and was thinking
the house was haunted. She started having encounters about
the same time I started having the dreams.
Can a live person haunt a house?
(Hi. Yes, many people believe that you can 'astral project'
and your spirit can wander both the earth and other planes.
You may want to research astral projection and OBEs as a
start, and I hope to be discussing these topics in an
upcoming issue.)
Bed Position
Hello,
A friend once told me that if you place your bed with the
feet facing the doorway to the bedroom, it opens a doorway
into the spiritual realm and you will experience more
"ghostly" appearances. In all of the places that I have
lived, I have found that I have had more ghost visits when
the foot of my bed faced the doorway. Have you heard about
this?
Dore
(Hi, Dore. Yes, the placement and directional orientation
of your bed is said to have some pretty profound meta-
physical effects, but I am not familiar with whether the
bed direction would produce more 'ghost visits'. Hopefully
some of our readers will comment.)
Dear Zsuzsana,
Your detailed description of how spirits make themselves
known in the wee hours of the morning was more simply put
by my spirit guide. She tells me that they're able to make
themselves known much easier because of the coolness of the
night air. It facilitates their energy and, as you said,
especially on the night of a full moon. I thought you might
like to hear what spirit had to say about the subject.
Thanks for going into detail for us!
Paula
(Thanks, Paula.)
Light Beings
From the time I was quite young until I was well into my
early twenties I was visited by people I dubbed early on
as "Light Beings".
These beings were opaque, very white and glowed. They would
sit on my bed at night talking to me. I can not recall what
they told me, however, all my life I have felt an urgent
need to tell people something I consider very important.
That is to accept others as a fellow human being not a
label, such as a specific religion, no religion or
political party. We are people above all and should be
respected as such.
(Thank you for sharing this.)
********************************************************
Happy New Year to Everyone! Look forward to seeing you in
2007!
Carpe diem,
Zsuzsana
