Allison DuBois delves into the profound connections between the living and the deceased, exploring the insights and messages that souls of murder victims share with us. In this part two discussion, she addresses listener questions about the spiritual implications of sleep patterns in the elderly, particularly those with dementia, suggesting that such states may facilitate connections with the other side. Allison also listens to stories from callers, including one about a listener’s grandmother reaching out through subtle signs, reaffirming the presence of loved ones in our lives. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing these connections and the potential for individuals to develop their own psychic abilities.

Alison Dubois: -: Alison Dubois: le to set your intentions for: Alison Dubois:Well, Jo, welcome back for part two.
Joe:Just here.
Alison Dubois:I know we're in the same clothes.
Alison Dubois:Go figure.
Alison Dubois:So we're going to cover part two because we actually had a lot of questions on this topic and so there's more to talk about.
Alison Dubois:So let's go ahead and start with the next question.
Noah:Hey Alison, it's Noah again.
Noah:So my mom does have dementia and she sleeps a lot and she's 99, almost 99.
Noah:On March 23rd, she'll be 99 years old.
Noah:She sleeps a lot and she sometimes, you know, will talk about her mom and her dad, that she sees them a lot but she doesn't remember all those dreams that she has.
Noah:And what is your take, your spiritual take about sleeping a lot other than dementia that people say, you know, old people with dementia sleep a lot?
Noah:I think.
Noah:I mean, in my opinion there is something more spiritual and more connection to the life after when they sleep a lot because that's one way to connect.
Noah:They're like in limbo.
Noah:I feel that they are in limbo and the same thing.
Noah:You know, when babies are born and they sleep a lot, they're still not completely in this world, I believe, but they're still having some kind of connection with where they came from, the souls.
Noah:Do you think I'm just making it up or like I'm thinking that that could be a possibility.
Noah:But I need your input.
Noah:Thanks so much.
Noah:Bye.
Joe:Good question.
Alison Dubois:So when anyone who's had a baby or been around a baby for any length of time when they sleep, you'll see them smile and you see them laugh, and it's such a nice moment and experience because you look at them and wonder, what beautiful experience are they having right now?
Alison Dubois:What interaction are they maybe having with the other side or with relatives who've passed, who are talking to them and letting them know how they're gonna be taken care of and how they're loved.
Alison Dubois:So I guess Noah's not wrong in this, wanting to know this and in her own sense of the process.
Alison Dubois:So people with dementia that sleep a lot, my sense is they're being prepared to cross, especially when they talk about relatives who've died, especially their parents.
Alison Dubois:Specifically when they start talking about those people and being a small child and stories from that time in their life is when they're getting prepared to cross over.
Alison Dubois:So dementia's much harder on the living than it is on the person who actually has the dementia.
Alison Dubois:Because the person that has dementia, although they may seem unsettled and dissatisfied, and I can understand why they would feel that way, because their life has shifted and something's changed and they are not engaged in the living world so much anymore.
Alison Dubois:So I was gonna mention something, but I won't.
Alison Dubois:So with dementia, I will say it's them being prepared for the other side so much harder on us than it is for them.
Alison Dubois:And when I bring through people who passed of dementia, they'll say things to the effect of, I wasn't myself.
Alison Dubois:They'll say things such as, I hadn't been me for a long time and I was ready to go.
Alison Dubois:So the souls of people who have dementia are often ready to let go.
Alison Dubois:They're dissatisfied with the physical world and the sleeping.
Alison Dubois:A lot is them being prepared to pass because it's the other side talking to them, explaining to them what's gonna happen, how it's gonna feel, and it's them getting accustomed to that feeling.
Alison Dubois:Also that mom and dad, Noah's mom's, Noah's grandparents, would be around their daughter waiting for her to cross, which is why she keeps talking about them, because they're probably some of the people visiting her when she's sleeping to help prepare her to cross.
Alison Dubois:With this being a nine year and her mom turning 99 in March, it's very likely that she'll find a way to let go soon.
Alison Dubois:But some people fight harder to stay in the physical world because it's all they know and they hold on to the physical body.
Alison Dubois:They don't want to let go, and they don't know why?
Alison Dubois:But instinctually, we hold on.
Alison Dubois:And some people are more deeply entrenched in the physical world than others.
Alison Dubois:Some people are totally easy to let go.
Alison Dubois:And they're like, great, because they've done it before and they know what the drill is.
Alison Dubois:They let go.
Alison Dubois:They're ready for that next phase of life for them, and they don't like the body they're in, and they're ready to let go of that body.
Alison Dubois:So it just depends on the energy of the soul that's in the body, case by case basis.
Alison Dubois:But I would say for Noah, I'm glad that you have this time with your mother.
Alison Dubois:Just rest assured, your grandparents are there taking care of her and loving her and preparing her.
Alison Dubois:So let's go ahead and start with the next question.
Holly:Hey, Allison.
Holly:Hey Joe.
Holly:Hey Sophia.
Holly:Hey, Tom.
Holly:Thank you so much for taking my call.
Holly:I love, love, love the podcast.
Holly:I look forward to Tuesdays to hearing it.
Holly:My name is Holly.
Holly:I'm calling from St.
Holly:Louis, Missouri, and I have a question in relation to my own psychic, possibly mediumship abilities, as well as some paranormal things that have happened in my house.
Holly:So I'm going to try to give you the abbreviated version of.
Holly:So starting with the first time, I think that my granny reached out to me.
Holly:I took your advice, Allison, and I told her I was ready for a visit.
Holly:And I was always very close to her when she was living.
Holly:And within an hour of me saying that I was ready, talking to her and saying that I was ready for a visit, a knob came off of the stovetop.
Holly:And that should not have happened.
Holly:There was no logical reason for that happening.
Holly:And I realized at that time that I had left something in the oven that needed to come out.
Holly:My granny was always in the kitchen cooking, so I felt like that was 100% her.
Holly:I've had pictures slide off the walls in front of me for no good reason.
Holly:Antique mirrors crashed to the floor in front of me while I was sleeping.
Holly:So those were a couple other oddities that have happened.
Holly:I do use Granny magic sage spray protection oil.
Holly:And then most recently, I had a really vivid dream that the brakes on my friend's Jeep went out.
Holly:I texted her the next day, told her about it, and within a week of that, the brakes on her Jeep actually did go out.
Holly:But luckily I everybody was okay.
Holly:So anyway, those are just some snapshots of some of the more significant things that have happened.
Holly:And my question to you is just what your impressions are on some of those paranormal things that have happened, as well as what I Might do to further my own abilities.
Holly:Super, super busy, full time mom.
Holly:My daughter's an ice skater, competitive ice skater, which I know you can relate to.
Holly:Don't have a ton of time, but definitely want to pursue this.
Holly:And I'm just open to your, your impressions and your thoughts.
Holly:Thank you so much for taking my call.
Holly:Have a wonderful day.
Alison Dubois:Well, Holly's got nice energy.
Alison Dubois:Thank you for calling in.
Alison Dubois:I sort of love this for her.
Alison Dubois:So her granny reached out and knocked the knob off the stovetop to let her know that not only is she in her life, and the pictures on the wall, all of those are signs.
Alison Dubois:It's communication.
Alison Dubois:It's their way of letting you know that they're in your house, that they're part of your life, and that you're not alone.
Alison Dubois:So that's very much what I get from everything she described.
Alison Dubois:As far as the premonition she had about her friend whose car was going to have some sort of a very big issue that was dangerous for her friend.
Alison Dubois:I'm glad that she acted upon it and actually said something and was able to help her or maybe even save her.
Alison Dubois:That's great, because what good is the information if you don't share it?
Alison Dubois:Even if something doesn't happen or it ends up being something small at first, that small thing could have turned into a really big deal later and you nipped it in the bud and that's why the person's safe.
Alison Dubois:But maybe don't see it as you saving them.
Alison Dubois:It's like, oh, I stopped something from happening that was set in motion.
Alison Dubois:So you're welcome.
Alison Dubois:Right.
Alison Dubois:They could be that as well.
Alison Dubois:So I don't want people with abilities to be hard on themselves if they don't get the huge confirmation that it was imminent.
Alison Dubois:Like it was a matter of hours or days, you know, it could have led to something bad.
Alison Dubois:So you intervening is still a very good thing.
Joe:Right.
Alison Dubois:So her other question is, should I do this professionally?
Alison Dubois:Should she do this professionally?
Alison Dubois:I get having a skater.
Alison Dubois:I was a competitive skater.
Alison Dubois:I know how much time they spend at the rink.
Alison Dubois:It's a huge commitment of time and money.
Alison Dubois:And so I understand having a kid at home is a lot of work.
Alison Dubois:And it's been my experience that a lot of psychic mediums, they have more energy to invest in their abilities, growing their abilities and reading people professionally when their children have grown and are gone.
Alison Dubois:That makes sense.
Joe:These are a lot of work.
Alison Dubois:They're a lot of work.
Alison Dubois:And it's not that you can't do it, but even Back when I started doing this professionally, I was, what, 28?
Alison Dubois:Long time ago.
Alison Dubois:And Joe would take the girls and they'd go collect ladybugs on the side of the mountain or they'd go on some roaming adventure together.
Alison Dubois:Yes, he is actually, that dad.
Alison Dubois:He's great.
Alison Dubois:And so they'd have their little adventures and I would read five to seven people on a Saturday.
Alison Dubois:At the time, I just allotted Saturdays for readings until it became so much that I had to do it full time.
Joe:Right.
Alison Dubois:So that's a good gauge to use for Holly, if she were to put even a day a month aside where she could just do readings for people on those days.
Alison Dubois:And you start there.
Alison Dubois:And then if it picks up so much momentum that you.
Alison Dubois:You have people booked constantly, as I had, then you have to make a decision on your career because now it's turned into more of a career.
Alison Dubois:It starts as a calling, turns into a career because it's so time consuming.
Alison Dubois:And then she'll have to readjust schedules.
Alison Dubois:But for now, I'd say, I don't know how old your daughter is, but when she's out of the house and in college, you're going to have all the time in the world.
Alison Dubois:You don't have to wait until then.
Alison Dubois:Start out slowly.
Alison Dubois:Start out with a day, a month or every other week and see people in that space.
Alison Dubois:I suggest don't bring them to your house.
Alison Dubois:For in persons, you can do phone readings from your house.
Alison Dubois:Otherwise, rent a space in a psychic shop in your city.
Alison Dubois:They rent out spaces for people to do readings until you get to a place where you can afford to rent out your own office space.
Alison Dubois:Now, with Airbnb, there's a lot of office spaces I believe you can rent out as well, because didn't we try and do that before, but the noise was too much of a problem.
Joe:Yeah, it's like Airbnb for offices, but it was too noisy.
Joe:It's hard to find just the right spot because it has to be.
Joe:I like the psychic chop idea because it will be already somewhat, hopefully cleansed and have the right energy.
Alison Dubois:I'd even ask them if I could rent that room before they open the doors to the public.
Joe:Well, true, because the noise and distractions.
Alison Dubois:It'S very important to be in the zone when you're a psychic medium.
Alison Dubois:You can't pull impressions just from the person in front of you.
Alison Dubois:If there are people walking around a shop, you might start pulling impressions off of one of them.
Alison Dubois:I think that would be very confusing.
Alison Dubois:Confusing and chaotic.
Alison Dubois:So my suggestion is see if you could rent a room in a psychic store and do your readings either after they close or before they open, when it's very quiet and start out that way.
Joe:Right.
Joe:And she might also want to consider that if you do open yourself up to a career, the other side might take you up on it.
Joe:And it is emotionally a lot of work.
Alison Dubois:It is.
Joe:It's physically pulling, too.
Joe:So just be ready.
Joe:But if it's your calling, it's your calling.
Joe:I mean, there's no way around it.
Alison Dubois:Well, and depending on who your clients start out as, like, even in the beginning, remember, I was getting murders and suicides.
Alison Dubois:Like, I've always been a trauma specialist as a psychic medium, because it's my energy that I can handle it.
Alison Dubois:Some people, it's grandmas that they bring through, and they have a lighter schedule.
Alison Dubois:They have much lighter emotional toll taken on them.
Alison Dubois:And so you could do those readings all day long.
Alison Dubois:Those don't weigh on you.
Alison Dubois:Those are kind of fun because it's like reading a person's story, where they've been, what they were like, the music they experienced.
Alison Dubois:World War II, sometimes they show being at the USO and going dancing.
Alison Dubois:You know, it just depends on the time period and their experience.
Alison Dubois:So I, you know, depending on what our clients end up being like and.
Alison Dubois:Because word of mouth is 90% of all PR out there.
Joe:Right.
Alison Dubois:So as soon as you read somebody.
Alison Dubois:Yes.
Alison Dubois:You're going to draw in, like, energy to your own energy.
Alison Dubois:And as soon as you read someone, they tell five to 10 people and you draw them in.
Alison Dubois:For instance, when nine, 11 happened, I read a horseshoe where I read a person who was affected by that, who'd lost a loved one, and then she went back and shared my information with other people who'd lost loved ones.
Alison Dubois:So in those instances historically, when something historically takes places or takes place or something catastrophic takes place, your name's going to get passed around to the other widows or widowers, whoever's connected to the people who passed.
Alison Dubois:And you will find yourself doing quite a bit of those readings, which helps you to identify how the person died because you recognize it from someone else you brought through.
Alison Dubois:So I found that interesting in reading.
Joe:You've read other groups, too.
Joe:Like, you'll get a whole slew of therapists because they tell each other, or you'll get a slew of professors or businessmen.
Alison Dubois:I read a lot of therapists.
Joe:Yes, you do.
Alison Dubois:A lot of psychologists, a lot of psychiatrists, a lot of nurses.
Joe:But you can see the network they're in.
Joe:They don't necessarily even say who it is that they knew, but you can kind of tell it comes in waves.
Joe:And maybe that's just an energy thing.
Joe:Maybe that's like almost astrological.
Alison Dubois:Yeah, it's an energy thing.
Alison Dubois:So that's my advice to you, Holly.
Alison Dubois:Don't give up on your abilities.
Alison Dubois:That could have been part of your granny's message, is her saying, you can hear me, you know it's me.
Alison Dubois:I'm letting you know I'm here, but I'm also letting you know you can do this.
Alison Dubois:How do you want to use it?
Alison Dubois:This is your gift.
Alison Dubois:Use it.
Alison Dubois:And so that could have been her way of pointing Holly in the direction professionally of where she needs to go for her own calling in helping people as well.
Alison Dubois:So I feel like that would make Granny, in this instance, her guide, the one that you need to talk to, Holly, the one that you need to lean on.
Alison Dubois:When I started reading, I talked to my dad and I say, dad, I need you to turn up the volume and focus the energy of her mother.
Alison Dubois:Like, whoever I'm bringing through, I need you to do this for me.
Alison Dubois:And he tweaks their energy so that I can hear them more clearly and I can feel them more easily.
Alison Dubois:And it really does help in readings.
Alison Dubois:So, Holly, your granny, she's your guide, she's your go to girl, your point man, all of that and, and good luck on your journey.
Alison Dubois:And I think you should absolutely pursue a career with your abilities.
Alison Dubois:Unless something shows you that you need other priorities at the time, and then you shift your energy in that direction, you can figure it out.
Alison Dubois:It's an ebb and flow.
Joe:All right, are we ready for the next call?
Alison Dubois:Yes.
Holly:Hi, Ellison, this is Susan Haggart Osborne.
Holly:I'm Sagittarian.
Holly:My question is I keep.
Holly:Why do I keep dreaming about my ex husband?
Holly: We were in divorce in: Holly:And lately he just seems to be my mind a lot.
Holly:He was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Holly:And since our divorce, I've had a heart attack and a heart transplant.
Holly:So we've both been through quite a bit.
Holly:And I was just wondering why I keep thinking or dreaming about him.
Holly:Well, thank you so much and I really enjoy your program.
Alison Dubois:Well, thank you, Susan.
Alison Dubois:So this is interesting.
Alison Dubois:The first thing that popped in my head as she was talking, why does she keep dreaming about her ex husband who was diagnosed with cancer?
Alison Dubois:And then she talked about having her own heart attack and transplant and it occurred to me like it felt very strongly.
Alison Dubois:I felt that they're supposed to be there for each other.
Alison Dubois:Not that there weren't reasons for them to get a divorce, but almost as if they need to heal something in each other.
Alison Dubois:In other words, he needs to take care of her in her weak moments and she him in his and lean on each other.
Alison Dubois:So maybe foundationally in their relationship, there is a friendship to be had.
Alison Dubois:You know, it doesn't mean it has to be overtly romantic in nature, but it almost seems as though the universe is saying, wait, stop.
Alison Dubois:Because it happened at the same time to both of them around the divorce.
Alison Dubois:So let's look at what Diane Goldner, she's my healer, friend and professor at Dead University, would say.
Alison Dubois:Heart attack.
Alison Dubois:Why is your heart sick?
Alison Dubois:What hurts?
Alison Dubois:So her heart attack could be, and most likely is partially because of her heartbreak over the marriage not working or what they said and did to one another.
Alison Dubois:There could be a lot of emotional issues there that only he could help heal with her.
Alison Dubois:He ends up getting cancer around that same time where the universe is forcing him to not just faces mortality, but to be more humble in nature and recognize how fragile life is and who's there for him.
Alison Dubois:So with him getting cancer, it almost feels as though the universe is saying, I know this hurts.
Alison Dubois:You need to swallow your pride, and you need to ask her for her shoulder to lean on or for help when you need help.
Alison Dubois:To me, this felt as though the universe was not trying to force them together, but force them to recognize that they needed each other somehow.
Alison Dubois:Do you know what I mean?
Joe:Well, I do.
Joe:And you have such a great track record with that.
Joe:If you had an instinct and it was instant, you heard it and you felt it, I think she should go with that.
Alison Dubois:So I know that in the physical world, many of us, especially divorced women, would say, there's so much pain.
Alison Dubois:You know, he did this, he did that.
Alison Dubois:Well, your life's on the line, and your days could be numbered.
Alison Dubois:So don't look at all of that.
Alison Dubois:We're not looking at hot husband cheating on you at 25.
Alison Dubois:We're looking at him facing his mortality and staring death in the face while she went through a similar fragile operation where her life hung in the balance.
Joe:Right.
Joe:She said that it's been 20 years, and they've both been through quite a lot.
Joe:So it sounds like they've both perhaps grown and changed, and maybe the friendship can be there.
Joe:Like you said, it doesn't have to be a romantic relationship, but they were clearly in this world to know each other for some reason.
Joe:And they can both be there and make each other better.
Alison Dubois:And if they both healed from what they went through before, that could have been a preview of what comes towards the end of life for both of them where they're trying to get them comfortable with the idea of being there for one another.
Alison Dubois:Let me drop off some, you know, dinners that I made and then froze so you could heat up so you don't have to worry about cooking or ordering out so you can heal doing things for one another.
Alison Dubois:I don't know if they have children in common, but they loved each other enough to get married at one point in their life.
Alison Dubois:This, with the timing of both of their health ailments.
Alison Dubois:It just seems and feels as though they're supposed to be support to one another in those moments.
Alison Dubois:And my sense is at some point she's going to hear him say some very bare and raw things of moments of appreciation, his expression of his own pain and who she is to him and his love for her.
Alison Dubois:So I don't feel like this is over in the evolution of whatever it is they are to become.
Joe:Right.
Alison Dubois:So for those that are out there that have maybe a similar situation, sometimes these things happen to get us to lower our wall just enough to let somebody in that we didn't want to let in.
Joe:Sure.
Joe:And I'm sure facing mortality, many people, it changes and they have to address things and look at themselves in their life.
Alison Dubois:Yeah.
Alison Dubois:And this very much feels like a soul lesson that they're supposed to both learn together.
Alison Dubois:So I hope their communication's gotten better between the two of them so that they can sort of hold hands and ride this life out and just be like, wow, that was a ride, huh?
Alison Dubois:A lot of bumps and bruises.
Alison Dubois:But at the end of the day, like, I'll always love you, even if the in love nature of the relationship passed us by.
Alison Dubois:That doesn't mean that you don't mean a lot to me.
Joe:That makes perfect sense.
Alison Dubois:So.
Alison Dubois:Okay.
Joe:All right.
Joe:We're going to save the other callers for Sophia because they're more light hearted like she is.
Joe:You give me the hard ones.
Joe:Thanks.
Alison Dubois:Of course.
Alison Dubois:Well, I know you can handle them.
Joe:I'm tough.
Alison Dubois:Thank you for being my sounding board and spending the time with me today.
Alison Dubois:I know that my listeners love hearing from you as well because you're the husband to set a standard by.
Alison Dubois:You are amazing.
Alison Dubois:So thank you for being here and all your support and thank you to my listeners for tuning in.
