Plus one 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Im not even sure this belongs in religion, but anyways,Last week my motherinlaw who has alzheimers walked in our bedroom and told us her sister doris who lives in fresno was in her room. My wife told her she was dreaming and go back to bed. In the morning I jokingly asked her if doris left. She said yes and she said goodbye. 30 minutes later we got a call telling us doris died in the middle of the night. Dang I hate that kinda stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hear about Doris. My grandfather had Alzheimer's... I remember the alternating between total hilarity and total sadness. Link to post Share on other sites

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Last week my motherinlaw who has alzheimers walked in our bedroom and told us her sister doris who lives in fresno was in her room.Has she ever done anything like this before? Does she ever talk about people who aren't around? Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Has she ever done anything like this before? Does she ever talk about people who aren't around?And more importantly, how many people do you think there are in the world who are confused about where they are and who is there? And how many people die each day? And what are the odds that those two sets will occasionally intersect? Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 69 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 What exactly is the alternative?Are you trying to lay bait? Isn't the alternative that there is an invisible force or soul or God or consciousness in the universe, and so even though you don't realize or consciously know what event has occurred, your soul (perhaps) has found out or has been shifted, and has reacted? Or something similar to that. Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Reed 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I think that when faced with unurmouning evidence that there isn't a God or higher power, the oft romanticized thoughtof a universal consienceness is what's left. Other than fictionalized accounts I can't say i've seen or heard of anything convincing but it's always interesting to say the least. Separated twins knowing when something happened to the other. Wives knowing that something happened to their husband away at war. Moms and kids, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Happens every day?I don't know, but I'm guessing it's not very rare for a person to, in a moment of confusion, mention someone's name, only to have that person have a significant event in the next 48 hours. It would surprise me more to learn that it didn't happen anywhere in the world on any given day than to learn that it happened 10 times that day. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sounds like a very strange occurance, that I wouldn't base any change in world view on, but on a personal level it would impact me if it happened to me. Link to post Share on other sites
