Do you talk to dead people?

Same here. Some of my "pretend conversations" occur when I'm driving, or otherwise free to think, without interruption.

I can`t. I won`t open up for them to follow me, I know its sounds weird but sometimes I see them, not my people but ghost in general, I do not know who they are. I often do a salt cleansing so they cannot come in the house. I now talk to the dogs and they understand me perfectly.

I talk with my father... not only imaginary conversations. I see him sometimes and also my grandmother (the mom of my father).

Where do you see them? I see people (in real life) who remind me of people I've lost. But never real people or apparitions.

I'm not sure that I'd go so far as to say I talk to them, as that sounds kind of...odd. But I can almost hear their voices "discussing" the situation with me.

@TheHorse My mother had a really good friend that we called 'aunty' although she wasn't a blood relation. She was a very wise woman but fun as well. I would love to chat with her sometimes.

Oh, I do that too. Interesting that a main part of the "therapy" I do for the "troubled kids" I work with is hiking, just like my dad and I used to do when I was young.

I have people I desperately want to ask questions about their own lives. But as far as seeking guidance during my low times, I turn to my music and my writing for that. I've learned to embrace the fact that I'm a special kind of crazy, and I've gotten used to my roller coaster life.

Don't stay like this. All the creatures in the world take rebirth most of the time unless its a salvation. This mindset will disturb you. You feel emotion, you hold it for days and then you should forget it..yes you will still feel for it here and there but wouldn't matter much to you. Sometimes I also dream of my favourite persons who are not alive but I wash it as soon as I wakeup.

I go down memory lane in my mind to bring a smile to my face. I talk to only my Mother's picture at times, remembering the song... what do I do with only your picture to talk to, that I heard on Golden Girls that Dorothy sang that stuck. My Mother passed last year in July. But I talk to her picture when no one is around.

Though I may not converse with them I do seek their blessings especially when I am in a tight spot. Then when my mind is free I think of them. As I know their ways when they were alive, I seem to get a clear message from them. Apart from my father, I have many who were close to me and they seem to signal to me that they would not be disturbed but I have to ask them for help to get it - siva
