This podcast episode delves into the profound phenomenon of precognitive dreams related to death and dying, exploring the intricate connection between intuition and the awareness of impending loss. We discuss personal experiences, including those of loved ones who seemed to possess a deeper understanding of their mortality, manifesting through subtle hints and conversations prior to their passing. The narrative reflects on how these intuitive signals can often go unrecognized until retrospectively examined, prompting a contemplation of the emotional and spiritual implications of such experiences. We invite listeners to share their own stories and insights regarding this topic, fostering a communal dialogue on the nature of grief and the unseen connections that bind us to our loved ones. Ultimately, this episode serves as a catalyst for reflection on the ways in which we prepare for loss, both as individuals and as part of a larger human experience.

The discussion revolves around the complex interplay between precognitive dreams and the phenomenon of death, particularly focusing on personal experiences that illuminate these themes. As we delve into the realm of precognition, I reflect on how dreams can sometimes serve as harbingers of significant life events, especially the death of loved ones. Through the lens of my own experiences and those of my wife, we explore the intuition that often accompanies these dreams, suggesting that there is more at play than mere coincidence. The narratives shared highlight instances where individuals appeared to possess a deep, almost instinctual awareness of their impending demise, prompting them to prepare in subtle yet profound ways. This leads us to contemplate the implications of such knowledge, both for the individuals experiencing it and for those who bear witness to their journeys.

Throughout the episode, I recount touching anecdotes that illustrate how our loved ones may begin to hint at their mortality well before the actual event, as seen in the case of my dear friend Sheila. Her conversations about death and preparations for her own funeral became eerily prescient, prompting me to question why we often overlook such signs until it is too late. These reflections stir a deeper inquiry into the nature of grief and how it manifests in anticipation of loss. I emphasize the importance of recognizing these intuitive cues, as they may offer a pathway to understanding our grief more profoundly and preparing ourselves emotionally for the inevitable.

Moreover, I encourage listeners to consider their own experiences with precognitive dreams and intuitive knowledge of death. This episode serves not only as a personal exploration of grief but also as an invitation for others to share their stories, fostering a community of understanding and support. By engaging with these themes, we can collectively navigate the challenging landscape of loss, drawing strength from the shared human experience and the insights gained from recognizing the signs that our intuition may provide. Ultimately, this dialogue aims to illuminate the intricate connections between our dreams, our intuition, and our relationships with those we love, particularly as we face the reality of mortality together.

Hi there, guys.

Welcome to Pillars of Grief.

Have you had an experience or a dream?

Have you had a dream that someone, a loved one or someone you know is dying?

Have you dreamt about death and consequently that has happened?

Or has one of your loved ones dreamt about their death and that's happened?

When we come right back, we're going to jump into that field of research, or not so much research.

We're going to talk about it.

We're going to talk about it from my personal experience, in my wife's personal experience.

It's something that we've been discussing recently as well.

And it's experiences that we have gone through our recent losses and many times in the past in my own life, I've actually witnessed it and experienced it as well.

So I want to dive into it a little bit.

So we're going to dive into your, your precognitive dreams of death and dying and where intuition can actually come into play with this as well.

So when we come right back, that's what we're going to jump into.

God bless.

Welcome back, guys.

So this is really kind of interesting.

It's an interesting thing that I want to talk about on Pillars of Grief because we're always talking about loved ones and signs and everything else.

And this is kind of something I want to maybe identify in your life.

Maybe you've had experience of this.

There's a phenomena known as a premonition of death or precognitive death and dying where there's an element of undeathbed visions.

You know, loved ones have deathbed visions, people have precognition.

Precognition means that you.

It's a phenomenon on being able to foretell something, foretell an event.

And sometimes people will dream they'll have precognitive dreams about a loved one dying.

And then, you know, and that happens.

And there's been a lot of research into this.

I'm not going to go into the academic side of it because that's maybe for another.

Another aspect or something that we're doing.

Paranormal Daily News and Deadly Departed.

But there's also the phenomenon near death experiences and people having premonitions of their own death, which actually I find rather fascinating.

Why did I want to jump into this?

Well, because it's very difficult to measure something like this empirically.

You can't really measure it, but there's a great subjectivity to it.

It's very subjective, so it's really what you're experiencing in your mind.

But it can be a very real lived Experience.

And that is an element I think you can measure when this comes to pass.

But what I find really fascinating, ladies and gentlemen, is how sometimes, and this maybe is a bit of a reversal, it's not about what I would maybe dream about.

Right.

Or what my wife would dream about or what you guys would dream about, but sometimes, and I'd love to hear from you people out there, our loved ones know they've got a deep knowing that they're going to pass.

They know that their time's coming.

Maybe their higher self, they just.

And, you know, something that we've been chatting about recently, because in a lot of the.

The losses that we've experienced this year, I found that out a great deal.

I found out, you know, for instance, our friend Sheila started to talk about her demise a lot more.

She started to hint at things way before this even happened.

And I don't mean like years before, because that wouldn't be.

But I'm talking about maybe a couple of months before.

You know, at one point, we were on holiday in Florida, and she was, you know, she was kind of talking a lot more about setting up her funeral, setting up things, getting things ready, talking about passing, asking us a lot of questions and things as well.

And we kind of knew.

We kind of knew that would be the, you know, that that's probably going to be the last time that we're going to see.

We're going to see Sheila.

It's going to be the last time.

And I remember driving home and my wife, you know, saying to me, you know, she's given up.

Which was really fascinating because it wasn't long after that, within a year, within that year or the very next year, unfortunately, we lost Sheila.

It was devastating to us, absolutely devastating.

And we're still affected by it as well.

But there was something, and it's something we've been talking about recently, is that she seemed to know her higher self.

Not so much her material self in this world, her higher self just seemed to know that her time was coming and she was going to pass.

And that led me to think about this even more recently as well, because there's been experiences in my life where even when my work is a medium, I have gone to people's bedsides who are dying, who are getting ready to pass.

And they tell me, they've told me of stories where they felt it was their time, it was their time to go, and they were kind of prepared for it before.

And I find that really fascinating.

But there's an intuitive element to this because Intuitively, I think we, as loved ones, we know, we feel that there's something not right.

We feel that our intuition is telling us something.

It's telling us that maybe our loved one's not going to be there.

As an example, one of the most favorite pictures I've ever shot as a photographer was the one of my wife and my mother in law before she passed.

And I remember actually I wrote about this in a magazine, in Frames magazine.

I wrote an article about this because dealing with photography and loss and stuff.

And I remember taking that shot and knowing that the minute that I hit the button, the shutter button, that was the last image that I was ever going to take of them two together.

And it's such a special image to me.

It really is.

Absolutely.

I love it.

It's such a special image.

You know, I've shared it in certain professional photography forums and.

And I'll never forget it now.

At the same time, when I was out and I was doing sort of media work during Helene and taking photos, there was.

There's elements of your intuition that kind of foretells, helps, warns you, gives you, gives you guidance and stuff like that, you know.

But this is weird, this is different because even before mum had passed, right, Even before my mother in law passed, my wife had not dreams, but she had precognition, she had intuitive, she'd have known something was she was grieving before the loss and couldn't quite put a finger on it.

We both kind of knew that it wasn't going to be long.

Even though everything was normal.

The same with Sheila, everything was normal.

But what's interesting is that even my mother in law, she started to talk about her passing or her way before that.

She started to have these little hints, these subtle cues in her life that looking back now, we can recognize the pattern.

But then we couldn't.

Even when we recognized that our friend Sheila had given up, that was an aha moment after, right?

It wasn't.

We could feel it, I mean, I mean, immediately after, just when we were driving home.

But we kind of knew.

But having someone so close to you, and I think a lot of us feel this, I think many of us have these experiences but put them away because you don't want to face reality.

For me, I know that when I took that last image, I knew that was the last image, but I denied it for so long because I couldn't face that loss.

I couldn't face the reality that I was going to lose beautiful woman, my mother in law, who I adored so much.

But she seemed to know and when we were talking recently that there's probably our loved ones out there.

Many of our loved ones already know when their time is coming up.

But we seem to just not want to face it.

There's been many times even my grandfather, my grandfather came and knew there was like a preparation going on.

So I would like to know from you guys out there, what experiences have you had, right, what experiences have you had where your loved ones have literally prepared?

And I don't mean that they're doing the last will and testament, right?

I don't mean that they're starting to give things away because they're like, oh, you know, coming.

The pearly gates are opening up and stuff.

I don't mean that.

I mean that there's a pattern, there's a subtleness, there's a stirring in your soul.

There's something in them that is.

They're starting to send the signs that the time is coming up.

So I believe that our loved ones have, and I think a lot of people that lost loved ones during COVID There's an element of those loved ones that had some kind of control that could hang on for some other reasons to say goodbye.

There's been many examples where people, loved ones have not passed until their other loved one had got to the hospital.

And there's many, many examples of that.

But there's a deep kind of precognition that our loved ones, I think, know.

There's a deep seated intuition within them that gets them ready.

They're tight.

They might not know.

They might not, you know, recognize it in the material world there and then.

But when you look in hindsight and you look back, you can see that they knew, they knew.

They know when their time's coming, their soul knows and there's preparations that happen.

Maybe subconsciously something's going on at a deeper level that is preparatory.

I think that's really fascinating.

But there's an element as well where we.

If you're sensitive at all, you have a good spiritual foundation and you're sensitive, there's a very big chance that you start grieving way before it happens.

And I think that's kind of likened to a precognitive event.

It's kind of precognition.

We talk about anticipated grief, right?

That's different.

It's different to anticipated grief.

I did a great conversation with one of my academic colleagues, one of my good friends in Liverpool, and you could go and watch her and I chat about anticipated grief.

Now, anticipated grief is when you know Someone's dying, they're maybe ill, right?

There's maybe they're in hospital, they're in, they're in a home, you know, they've been given so long to live, or they're not in good health.

And so you're waiting, you know that.

So you're anticipating that you start this.

There's grief, but I think there's an intuitive grief.

I think there's a. I believe there's an intuitive aspect to it.

There's an intuitive grief and there's a precognitive grief, a precognition that we kind of get ready for it, right?

Because that certainly I saw that within my wife.

I felt it in myself as well, but we couldn't quite put our fingers on it, right?

It was like.

It was almost like we weren't allowed to really know, but we were getting spiritually prepared.

Now, whether that was coming from other loved ones in spirit or other, a higher power that was preparing us or whether it was our higher self, we don't know.

Because I often think, had I really 100% have known that maybe my uncle was passing or my grandmother or my friend.

I remember, for instance, how would I have reacted?

I remember a really good friend of mine and Steve and him and I, we trained together and stuff.

And I remember we had a.

He came to my house, we had a beer or coffee or whatever it was one night and hours later he was dead.

He had gone home to his house.

He started dabbling with steroids and stuff on the training and he passed on his couch just because he must have taken.

I think he took too much of what he was taking.

Growth hormone, Diana.

Well, whatever it was.

But he passed.

And I often think about how would I have reacted 100% if I had known when I saw him coming in that he was going to die there and that he was going to die a few hours later.

Then maybe I would have created some kind of imbalance in time.

Maybe I couldn't have coped with it.

And that makes me think as well about even with my mother in law, how would I have acted?

Would I have acted differently, knowing that was.

Yes, I could feel it with the photography, yes.

But actually know that she's going to go for she's dying soon.

And when she looks so healthy, so brilliant, so radiant, so happy, how would that have changed things?

And how would that have changed the grief journey as well?

Maybe it's.

We are not allowed to know something in our soul, but there's a preparation.

We're not allowed to know 100%, because it will maybe affect us mentally differently.

Maybe it would trigger psychosis, schizophrenia, something like that.

Maybe it's just our soul or spirit, higher being, whatever you believe or whatever you think, maybe we're just getting prepared for it.

Maybe we're just getting.

Preparing our soul and we're allowed to have that preparatory feeling.

But then you've also got to.

That's got to be similar to our loved ones.

Like my grandfather.

I know my grandfather knew he was going to go.

Obviously, in people that when they're ill, they know they're passing and their time's coming, but they seem to have some kind of control over the timeline.

Right.

There's something stronger, there's something more ethereal working.

There's a power that's there.

There's an intuition as well.

An intuitive power is running through that individual at a soul level and that is able to control the outcome a little bit.

And so I believe that even those that are not ill, and this is something Joe and I has talked about a lot, that they know at some kind of deeper level that their time is coming to a close.

And so they start to make preparations unknowingly, like Sheila did.

It was really weird.

She started to make these preparations and talk to us and we never caught onto it until even just when we.

Even when we were driving home and we both looked at each other and Joe had said to me she'd give it up.

Yeah, I agree it was weird.

But, yeah, we never thought any of it because we didn't think it would happen.

We didn't have.

We couldn't comprehend that reality.

And it was the same with Mum.

We couldn't comprehend that reality.

Same with my father.

My father, when he got ill, when he had esophageal viruses and he knew his time was coming up.

I always regret the relationship that I had, that we could have been closer and stronger.

Anyway, that's another thing.

But even I think there was elements in me that knew because prior to him passing that night when I was working, I couldn't quite put my.

My feelings, my.

My.

I just.

I wasn't feeling right, you know, and I'd always gone, you know, my intuition was a big thing for me.

I used intuition when I was doing security operations, when I.

When I did undercover work, surveillance operations.

Intuition was a massive part of my.

My.

My life and not really understanding or labeling it or, you know, but I knew that there was something.

There's a power there, there's something there.

But I couldn't put Anything on that night.

And then it was that night that my father passed.

So I think deep inside of us we all know our intuition is there to help us through our life, to be our guidance system.

It can save us in our time and need.

That's one of the reasons why I wrote Powers of the Sixth Sense.

But it also has that power to alert us to when things are about to change and when our emotions are about to change.

And that it may go beyond a dream.

People will dream.

Like I said, there's precognitive dreams, people precognition dreams all the time.

And people dream about their death and dream about dying.

And sometimes it comes to pass or sometimes there's a deeper meaning to it.

I mean, Jungian psychology is massive in looking at, analyzing these dreams, you know.

And Stanislav Grof would have a look at these dreams in a different way.

Even asagioli, there's an element to that inner power, that inner wisdom that gives information, that gives us the guidance.

But it's interesting for me, it's interesting.

It's something I've been thinking a lot about recently and my wife and I have been talking to it.

So I want to hear from you guys.

Have you had a precognitive dream about a loved one passing or dying that has actually happened?

And, or can you, can you share examples of your loved one that knew, not that they were ill?

We're not talking about anticipated grief, but that you can recognize now looking back, that they started to prepare like Sheila started to prepare.

My mother in law started to talk about things and was getting things ready as well.

They seem to know at a deeper level.

And maybe when we understand that we do know at a deeper level and maybe we understand that we can lean on our deep intuitive power to help us through, to prepare us, knowing that we're going to be prepared for this.

Maybe it would make the journey a little bit easier, maybe it would make the awareness softer.

Maybe developing our spiritual awareness and our intuitive power to embrace loss in its ethereal capacity.

Or we're talking about not loss of a job or loss, but loss in the fact of a loved one who's passing or some kind of loss.

Maybe there is something inherent to that to learn to harness that power, to learn to embrace it so that it doesn't become a shock, it doesn't become something that will develop into a mental imbalance and, and cause mental health issues.

So that's all I wanted to kind of jump on and talk about, ladies and gentlemen, is to give you something to Think about nothing for me to teach today or to.

It's something that we can discuss.

I'd love to know more.

I'd love to know about your experiences with this.

I've had many experiences through my life.

As I said, I've talked about some of them today.

But I wanna know more about this.

I'm not talking about terminal lucidity or deathbed visions or anything like that.

I'm talking about intuitive pull.

This knowing, this preparation for a passing precognitive event, if you like, precognitive phenomena.

Not.

Not as we are looking at, you know, anticipated grief, where someone's, you know, getting ready for it is.

We're expecting it because we know everything that's happened.

This is something deeper, something that you can't quite know, something you don't put your.

But the patterns are there.

Intuitive power is also about your experiences and your patterns and putting them together and being able to discern and then make a spirit, if you like, and a psychic, intuitive judgment on something.

So I'll go into a lot more detail, maybe later, but share with me your examples.

Guys, I'm really interested in this.

Like I said, something I've been fascinated with, that I've been discussing a lot more.

I'd love to hear more examples of this that's happened in your lives or with your loved ones.

So, ladies and gentlemen, if you've got any questions, then please reach out to me.

Thank you for joining me here today.

Again, just a short one, but I think it's a nice conversational thing to kind of discuss as well.

If you're not a member of my private community, they're more than welcome.

To join the private community, just go to my website, dropbrooks.com, you'll find a page for the grief group and you can apply for it.

It's free.

As long as you're grieving and you're looking for support or help, then that's.

That's what it's there for.

And if anybody is interested in working with me direct, then you can also do that.

You can also apply to do that.

I only work with a few people a year, but you can certainly do that if that's something you're interested in.

And I am definitely looking forward that.

I'll have a couple of guests that are going to be coming up and joining me very soon as well.

And I recently interviewed Dr. Marjorie Willico on Deadly Departed on PDM, which is a fascinating subject matter and I'm going to get her back.

And she's going to come on my show and we're going to talk about terminal lucidity and the research that's going on in terms of that as well, which is maybe a deeper aspect to deathbed vision.

So I'm looking forward to that.

Guys, thank you for joining me.

Get back to me, let me know of your experiences and I will see you in the next episode.
