To be honest, I sit on the fence with this.
Heaven or hell or something else or nothing at all.
There are so many reasons why there should be, so many why there doesn't have to be.
I don't get the religious arguments. I don't subscribe to most of the t.v. and cinema view.
My view is there is nothing!
However, I have had paranormal experiences.
And that is why I'm on the fence.
I hope there is, that would be a reward for the struggle and the hard life (for the most part) I have had and having.

There is nothing I believe, but there are things I like to think. Whatever any person believes, there's nothing we can do about it, so it's just a simple case of finding our own comfort zone.
Well without going into to much detail - yes a firm believer lets say its a gift

I’m pretty cynical when I see accounts on camera of people who knew someone working at “Area 51” or even the Krays?
I’ve seen some weird paranormal activity in my time..
However, & this is worrying part. I have a theory that people that have genuinely experienced this paranormal stuff. It’s a pre-curser to developing dementia or Alzheimer’s in later life?
I also think the chemistry in the brain can obscure perception at the end of life. But I can see how this could bring comfort to either the dying at the time of demise or anyone of faith in their presence..

I can further promote your theory, with some reported paranormal experiences, can sometimes be brought about by illness. My experience of my lucid Technicolor dreams were mostly and I say mostly, not all, was when my hypo hell through RH, because of my lack of control before diagnosis.
There has been posters, saying that low blood glucose levels through the night correlate with memorable dreams. Also that many descriptions of weirdness can be put down to mental issues.
It's a good thing that weirdness is not put away in asylums now.
But there are others that cannot be explained.

I know for a fact I haven’t been hypo nor under any “influence.”
& on a few occasions I haven’t been the only witness.. (though it’s hard to get any statement out of a dog.)
I do get dreams that trigger me to wake with hypos. But I know they are dreamstate.
I have to admit, I’ve been through periods of anxiety like others. Certain.. uncertain times of life.? The “paranormal stuff” has correlated with that..
The last time was over 20 years back.. Hardly call it stress. But we had just bought a new house. The previous owner had died & there was evidence she was wheel chair bound? Which was odd as there are a fair few steps down to our place.
I was in the process of decoration loosing the pseudo cottage look of a 1989 build bungalow. Roller painting a wall blasting out a bit of rock & roll. When I was aware of a “presence” at my right elbow.
It was a petite elderly lady in a yellow cardigan, grey skirt & tights. She looked at me with distain regarding the colour & didn’t like the row I was playing.. I shrugged, saying this is my gaff now & she was gone.
A while later I found an old brown leather doctor’s case with some Mozart sheet music in the attic by the water tank.
Either my music brought her “back..” or the whole experience was due to “sub sonic frequencies” with Steve Harris on bass messing with my mind..
My logic is. If there is an “afterlife.” Why come round & act like it’s (the TV show.) “changing rooms.”

If you want stories similar to yours, my wife even before her painkillers put a stop to most of it, saw her grandparents when in her twenties and she witnessed her mother begging for understanding, for being the way she was. Her father died last Boxing Day, and she is still not able to go in his room. She insists it changes and always cold. Yes the room changes back to when he was alive.
no one else, just her dead grandparents and parents!
I was on the ward where my mother died after her second stroke put her in a coma of which she never recovered. My brother was in the med on holiday when it happened and wasn't able to fly back straight away. When my mum was pronounced brain dead and taken off meds and fluids which was day five after the stroke.
My brother got on the next flight available, which was three days away. In the meantime I spent every hour I could sitting with her being there for her. It was hard.
My brother not being at all religious had visited a church on a day out. He was told by a stranger who was sitting outside the church in perfect English that his mother was waiting for him. He phoned me that Evening and was beside himself thinking that my mother had gotten better. Which of course she had not. My mum was just lying there all peaceful but still breathing, I have never experienced something like this before. I was scared, anxious, totally sad and obviously in mourning, sitting there looking for signs of movement or a change in breathing, any movement, anything!
My brother arrived early on a Friday morning, he was relieved that my mum was still with us, we went for a cup of tea, he had five minutes alone with her. And like me resolved to be there for her when she passed.
so, as we went for a cuppa in the cafeteria. Typically in the next five minutes she did pass. Alone. But I would like to think my mum was waiting for my brother to be there before she passed over.
Afterwards I came to realise that it was as if my mum had waited for him. I was told by another brother, that the brother who had flown back was my mum's favourite. I wasn't aware of this. It never occurred to me. But it was strange.
Medically, my mum was alive longer than the doctors and nurses predicted, it was five days after they turned the meds and fluids off. The hospital staff were brilliant in their care and were very obliging to my needs, my questions, my requests.
My period of grief because of the hospital watch, the time I had to realise that my mums time was up, was in some way placating my feelings. There was sadness but relief that my mum never suffered. But I can't help it, just how did these events fall into place? I have no idea.
Finally, my dreams are recurring. I won't go into much detail, but it does seem that I'm living a different life in a different time in a different place. violent, physical and effectively felt as if I had been battered.
I have suffered many times, through bruises, pain, headache, like a really bad hangover. I have found myself on the floor many times, out of bed across the room. My wife won't sleep with me for years because I flail. I have kicked her.
I have discussed this with my doctors, my counsellors, my family and close friends, shown them the bruises and marks of battle.
The worst is I get, a fiery itch in my left upper arm, which I have had for most of my life, no one knows what it is. My tricep is aflame into my bone. I get similar to pins and needles in my lower arm for no reason. I have been seen by a neck and arm specialist because of my spondylitis, but doesn't understand what it is.. I have a bag of ice on tap just in case. Cos nowt else will help.
Now, I have my own theories, I don't understand it, but from young my fascination for certain things, have come from my inquisitive instincts, very similar to my research into Hypoglycaemia. I have found some very interesting things and have been told by one of my counsellors that he has had another with similar experience. And he didn't want to explore it. I did ask, he asked my explanations. I told him of the strange coincidences I had found, he said, that it could be looking for things that aren't there, wishful thinking, putting two and two together and making twenty two!
I know one thing, it's not normal to be found after sleep on the floor, with injuries that cannot be explained. And recurring vivid dreams that have historical coincidence, that I have had no knowledge beforehand, and I wouldn't unless I researched it. Why have I always had a fascination with certain periods of history. My son is WWII mad because of my father. I learned it and got an A level. But my true historical passion is not that part of history. My secondary passion is another period not related to modern times. But I have read so much of it. I live by the sea and obviously naval history was pushed but not me, I was in the library studying Rome, Carthage, Egypt. Then because of O level, the industrial revolution.

I have been told this a few times. Just to see if it would help with understanding why I do get these dreams.
it does coincide with illness or hypos or maybe stress. Other people have the Technicolor vivid dreams, and they have said it is because of uncontrolled blood glucose levels.
I must admit that some of the coincidences are really mind blowing.
I would like to think we somehow have other life experiences.
The majority of the dreams, never cross timelines, and our usually either military or violent.
Maybe that is the reason I wouldn't go into the services and have never resorted to violence, in fact veered away from it. I'm not afraid of confrontation, I have in work had many discussions and verbal arguments.
it would be interesting, but I'm not too keen to take it all up.
I don't think it is reincarnation I believe it is the next step in evolution.
don't ask me how it's done, not a clue.
There is a quote that I heard from someone who has an IQ of somewhere around 180.
he said. That when you look at the physical nature of our universe. And how limited it is to be out of order, the laws of dynamics, the laws of gravity, the laws of how precise it all is. There is no way it wasn't designed like this. So with that in mind who built the universe or the multi verse?

Because as always in life must go to the experts. Because I went for a past life regression once.First thing
He hold me 'You are this really confident person' Got it wrong. Second thing he said 'Your mother was really
Mad. My God I told myself not going to be hypnotized by this person especially as I dont even feel
Comfortable in his presence.So took my money back and ran.

About my experience now it came in a dream. A vivid dream.My brother in law (my departed sisters
Husband.) Well he was ill for some time and eventually got this op. And all his children came to the hospital just to see him a after the op really.But it was a few days earlier that I got this vivid dream and my deceased sister in the
dream just said that 'he will die next Saturday'. And he did. But I could not tell his children that really because they were expecting him o come round and get better after the op.Makes you think dissent it.

Hypo dreams for me as a trigger to wake & sort the low out..
I’m at “war” or pray for “something.” Usually some weird genetic mutated zombie like “being?” (One had a head in the belly, awkward & clumsy. Long legs useless arms?) i gun it down dispatch “it.” Till I wake up.. survival, brain waving the “white flag.”
Frontal lobe of the brain loosing the plot..
I either seem to be underground or in a vast sprawling old house on the ground floor dropping & rising to different levels?
Regression therapy.. Hummmm, you pays yer money, “someone” triggers Napoleon or Nightingale..
We are all looking for a positive result.. our “truth” is how We respond regarding susceptibility…
Then we think too much. And then never get any answers n the end anyway. Maybe will really try
meditating. Was it Einstein who said my best ideas came through in those precise moments when
I really was relaxed and was not aware I was even thinking
