I have a friend who is a very practical, grounded sort of guy. He does not believe in things he cannot see or explain to himself. Throughout my magic class however, he had to admit that what I was doing had merit even though he could not understand it. I had done several healing techniques on him that had wonderful results that he could not deny. Now in his house everyone who has spent any time there knows that there is some type of spirit living there. It knocks things over, flushes toilets at night, and generally does all sorts of things we have always thought were along the lines of practical jokes. One day it moved a heavy dresser that it had taken 4 grown men to move across the room. My friend finally admitted that he too believed there was something there and asked me if I could find out any information about it. Through pendulum work and Tarot readings, I was actually able to get quite a lot of information about why this spirit was in this particular house, a name for him, some basic information about him, what the "practical jokes" were really about and I passed this information on to my friend. From that time on my friend began to talk to this entity by name and include it as part of the family. The "practical jokes" stopped as the spirit now had the attention it was trying to get. One night my friend was asleep and had fallen asleep with the heating pad on his shoulder that was sore. He dreamed of this spirit friend by name and that it was telling him to wake up and put out a fire. It was such a vivid and real dream that my friend could actually feel the heat of the fire. He suddenly woke up and found that the heat he was feeling was not just in the dream. It was real. Something had malfunctioned with the heating pad and it was smoking and beginning to burn him. He turned the heating pad off from his half sleep and thanked his spirit friend for the warning, he did not however unplug the pad from the wall outlet. He returned to sleep with the heating pad now on the floor next to the bed. Again he dreamed of his spirit friend trying to wake him up and leave because the house was all in flames. He awoke to find that the heating pad was still smoking and had just started a flame on the carpet next to the bed. It could have turned into a house fire easily if his friend had not come to him in Dreamtime and awakened him.
