Cheaty can’t look at this picture EVER without welling up….

I lost my cat Simba in May, 2006 (it’s in my archives, if you’d like a good cry…). He was only 10 years old. We had to put him down because his kidneys failed. The vet put him down in my living room. On my lap.

I had a really hard time coping with Simba’s death. I just couldn’t COMPREHEND that I’d NEVER see him again. The concept of NEVER became so overwhelmingly clear to me. “DEATH” and “NEVER” became synonymous, and just so hard to register without feeling utterly hopeless and dejected.

I really thought I’d see him again, like, in my dreams. I couldn’t believe that my time with him was OVER. NEVER.

But, nights, months, years now went by and…nothing! Until last night.

Last night, I dreamed I saw him. It was SO VIVID, Gorgeouses…. He looked the same! So soft…. “Is that…Simba?” I remember asking myself. I went up behind him and reached out to touch him. He turned around and HISSED at me. HOSTILE! But, then, the awesome moment of recognition….

I really can’t remember what happened. Just that the hostility waned and there was that beautiful, shining moment of recognition. It was SO REAL. I feel like I MADE CONTACT!

SO…, of course, I bothered our favourite shaman with this…. Here’s what I asked him:

Hi Dr. Farmer!

I understand if you don’t respond, but I have to ask….

My cat passed away over a year and a half ago. I always thought I’d see him
again, but I haven’t — except vaguely in a dream or two, but I didn’t
really make a connection, like I did last night.

Last night, I dreamt I saw him. I approached him gently, and he was hostile
at first — hissing at me — but then it was like there was a moment of
recognition, and he was peaceful with me. I don’t remember much other than
the fact that the hostility waned.

Is this common? Did I make contact, so to speak? Did we, say, find each
other? Because that’s the feeling I have.

Thanks so much for your time,

Haley

And, here’s what beloved shaman wrote back:

Haley

Yes, you did! We soul travel in dreams, and those that are in spirit world, people and animals, do so as well. The hissing was because you surprised him. Probably didn’t expect to see you after so long. Glad that you could reconcile and visit with him this way.

Blessings,
Steven

Now I want to ask Steven what I DO with this! How to contact him again, and what does this MEAN! But, I don’t want to bother Steven (first-name basis!) with more questions. He IS famous and everything.

I’m new to all this spirit-guide stuff. But, this felt so AWESOMELY authentic. I had to share…. There’s more to life, Gorgeouses. MORE. TO. LIFE.

P.S.: If you think I’m crazy, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I told you the other day, I don’t know WHAT is getting into me lately with the crystals and the shamans and the dreams…. But, I DOTH like it!
