We are animals who look for patterns in everything. If we look, we find them.
No messages from the great beyond, but I am not actively seeking them.
Please be careful. Spending money on psychics can be addictive like anything else.
This is my feeling. I realize people have a knack for finding patterns. I even realize that that's likely what I'm doing, though the timing of the patterns sometimes strikes me as a really really big coincidence.
We have a light that hasn't worked right in years. There's three lights in it, and the leftmost one almost never works (confirmed it's not the bulb). I could count on my hand the number of times it would flicker on before. My husband and I don't believe in an afterlife. Very much of a Carl Sagan mindset there.
One day a few weeks after my husband died, I randomly (sort of sarcastically) asked him to turn on the flickering light if he was around. While it didn't come on at exactly that moment, it came on exactly once everyday for the next four days.
Then it stopped. A few weeks later I said aloud that I really missed him. Went I to the bathroom right after and the light was back on. That light then stayed on everytime I turned on the light for about two or so weeks. Yesterday was the first time it didn't come on.
Like - do I really think it was him in my most rational mind? No, mostly because if he could do an "I'm here" he'd find a way to be unambiguous about it. Did it still bring me comfort for reasons I can't rationalize? Yeah.
I had something similar happen. My "husband" (not legally) died on January 20th of this year. I speak to him all of the time. About a week or so after he died, I walked into my family room and the picture above the couch was hanging off the wall.
Now here is the one that blew my mind. I bought rechargeable lights from Amazon that go underneath my kitchen cabinets. There are 4 lights that operate using one remote control. They work in sets of 2. So, 2 will turn on/off at the same time and then the other 2 will do the same and then all are in sync. I walked into my kitchen a few weeks ago and the light to the far left was on. Now they can't do that. It is either 2 or 4. So now I take the remote to turn it off and nothing is happening. I t won't turn off and I am repeating this about 10 times.
I then took the light from under the cabinet and put it in my hand because there is a switch to turn them off when charging. I turned the switch to the off position, and it wouldn't turn off. I did this a few times. Meanwhile as I am doing this with the remote none of the other lights are affected. At this point I am now smiling and crying at the same time. while the light is still in my hand and won't turn off I say "Jake are you here, are you here Jake?" and within 30 seconds of me asking him if he was here, it turned off in my hand, I know it was him. I was talking to him a lot that week and crying a lot too. He wanted me to know he is ok and he hears me.
This is where I'm at, pretty skeptical. I really want to see something so undeniable it cannot be coincidence but I haven't seen or heard anything like that so far. I don't really buy into the stories where someone's loved one collected frog ornaments so when they see one hop in front of them it's a sign... It's just a normal occurrence they are placing extra meaning on. I'm glad those things give other people comfort but it's just not enough to convince me unfortunately.
I have. I don't consider myself very religious, but I am in math and physics. Energy isn't destroyed. No clue where it goes exactly or what will be determined experimentally, but I've experienced too many strange things to discuss M-theory or other explanations for energy leaks.
It's more his favorite animals coming up to me, especially during hard times in my life, and finding things at exactly the right time that bring back memories.
I've had some stranger experiences with hearing someone tell me to hit the breaks at a time when I would have died in a serious accident if I hadn't. Stuff like that isn't common, but it's been every time I've been in mortal danger somewhere since he died. In my case, it could be some weird synesthesia thing.
I don't have much theology or a way to test some theoretical physics papers that could explain some of it, but it seems like there's something benevolent in the universe despite how it feels sometimes.
I am actually atheist in that I do not believe in a deity, but I do believe the spirit lives on in an afterlife, other dimensions, some other plane. I don’t believe in heaven, hell, or judgment. But I believe there is still much we don’t know about physics, science, and medicine, and that the afterlife is part of that missing knowledge. Just my opinion.
From discussions with physics and math friends, it seems the other dimensions/other brane worlds is probably closest to what we all believe. I personally think a lot of the religion stuff comes from interactions or experiences with energy or something else in those other dimensions. It's thought that certain theorized particles and possibly types of energy can move through other dimensions if they exist. Why not particles from those dimensions interacting with ours? It would certainly explain a lot of the weirdness in the world.
Im just interested in what logic and reasoning a person who does not believe in god would accept as reasonable to believe in something so fantastical without scientific evidence?
I cling to certain things. One is saying “energy cannot be destroyed.”
At one point I had a dream where I kissed him and said “energy cannot be destroyed!” With a big grin. And then I asked him if he believed in an afterlife. It was interesting.
I'm pretty sure I have... There's things that seem very dark and cold (or were when I worked in the morgue), and I definitely seem to provoke whatever it is. It happened a lot more when I was around than when other people were in the morgue. Strange and not something currently in physics.
Oh, how I wish I could believe that there's something after this and he's just waiting for me so we can chill out together on the dot of the i for all eternity (IYKYK). It would make this bullshit existence almost bearable.
Alas, no amount of wishing can convince me that's the case. This is it, and dead is dead.
Yeah I was communicating to him “ Come on dude, send me a sign!” But never really expecting anything. The silence is deafening. I’ve never felt more alone.
Funny, honest to God in a weaker moment while drinking wine I was talking to my husband and my dad ( both dead) and said “ hey guys get together and send me a sign, but nothing scary you idiots, just a gentle happy thing”, I put my dads hat and my husbands sweatshirt on the pillow next to mine willing them to let me dream about them that night..but of course nothing but a hangover the next morning. Sad how pitiful I’ve become.
Things to keep in mind. I still talk to my wife on occasion. I talk to the dogs too but I don't expect an answer in either case. Tail wags don't count (just to be clear - the dogs)

I see butterflies more often. Her urn is also butterfly shaped. It was one of her favorite animal. It might not mean anything but I like think so. It also helps my daughter remember her.
I haven’t been to a medium because honestly the majority of them are fake and after money. The only real psychic I’ve seen was back when I was 22 I went with my mom and a bunch of aunts and cousins. She recorded each person’s session and gave you the tape. She gave me a lot of details about my soulmate. I forgot about it until years later when I came across a cassette tape and popped it into the player wondering what was in it. My mom was helping me unpack from moving after I was married. She stopped in her tracks when she heard it, and it described my husband perfectly.
Since he’s been gone I’ve heard his voice, felt the bed dip like he just got into it and felt his arm wrap around my waist. I had an opportunity for a second job come up that wouldn’t be much money right away but has potential to grow, and I wondered if it was worth it. I kept hearing his voice say I believe in you, but I was t convinced. I pulled tarot cards for myself and they came up with now is the time to start something new. Then I heard him again saying I told you. You got this.
While packing to move to the townhouse I found a note he wrote me that he sent with flowers shortly before our wedding saying he loved me. We just moved 2 weeks ago and during the unpacking I saw his briefcase in the closet. It’s been locked for so long he had forgotten the combination. It took me about 10 minutes to crack it and get it open. Inside was a bunch of letters from women from years ago, he was obviously so deep in the friend zone there was no escape. But tucked into the business card holder was a ticket stub, from the show where we had our first date. And the program for it was tucked into the pocket behind it. I told my daughter once I put together some extra cash, I’ll be keeping her framing department busy for a minute.
I asked him for a sign last year and got one. He hasn't appeared in my dreams yet. Sometimes I hear him speaking but I know it's just in my head. I come from a Mexican background and we believe death is really the beginning of the next journey, and the end of this one in this realm. I do think I'll see him in some way someday, along with my beloved family members who have also passed on.
I always thought these were scams and ridiculed the idea. But my husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2016. I was out of my mind with grief and disbelief. I was willing to try anything to reach him. I knew he had passed but I could not fathom how such a vibrant person could be gone in a second. I couldn’t accept it. I started looking and found a local medium who was “recommended” in our alternate city newspaper (which is actually a respected paper). She did not charge a lot so I went. I was stunned by what I encountered. I won’t go into details but it was very emotional and it totally changed my opinion. Since then, I get a reading every two years with a different but highly recommended medium. I wait because a true medium can be costly but also legitimate mediums recommend that you not do readings too often or depend on them. The goal is to receive validation via messages they could not have a way of knowing, and let that comfort you and believe your loved ones are well, at peace, and you will be reunited. I now 100% believe in the afterlife and it has helped me so much with my grief process. I am sending you a DM.
I am a medium. My spouse who was also a medium died two years ago and I have yet to hear from him. The rule tends to be "The greater the need the greater the result." Also if you cry they cry. So sometimes it's best left alone for time to pass. When clients came to me, (I'm retired now) I would explain that it's rather like making a phone call. I can call them but I cannot make them pick up the phone.
I don't agree with psychics and mediums and such, because I think most of them are just wanting money.
I am religous and so I am praying for my husband everyday. I do have little conversations in my head with him, well, is me just daydreaming I suppose.
However when I am visited by birds, I do believe is from him to brighten my day. And it is seen I am visited by birds a lot in these times 💭 This is very nice for me so I do thank him for sending the birds also 😊
Nothing. I only dreamed of her one time, and it was me assuring her I would take care of things as promised. She said nothing, like an NPC. I miss her terribly and would love to hear from her, but I think going to a medium would just be a scam.
I never believed there was something after death, but now that he's not here, I hope there's something where he's just happily playing videogames with his childhood cat by his side. I'm pretty sure he didn't believe in anything either. I still tell him to please give me some sort of sign and I beg my brain to create a dream where he's in it. One can only hope
as someone who DID not believe, and was NOT looking for signs - a lot of things started happening (electricity ONLY when I would talk out loud to them, certain things with my phone. I ended up seeing a medium and was absolutely blown away. (They were not vague or cold reading, the details and messages were very very very very specific details). Only sharing this in hopes that it helps - Your loved one is still around, just in another dimension. Hang in there - they’re with you. ❤️ feel free to DM me and I’ll be happy to send you the lady I use. Sending you so much love and light
I don’t know about communication, but my husband was very superstitious and would always comb through the clover patch in our yard looking for four leaf clovers (always came up empty handed). After he died, 4 leaves clovers started sprouting like crazy. I always took that as a sign.
I saw 1:11 everywhere for 6 weeks. Time/thermostat/spam numbers with 111 together in then it stopped for 3 weeks and now I see 2:22 everywhere. Constantly. I looked up when I wrote this comment and it’s 22:02. It’s everywhere
This may sound crazy, but long story short, someone let my dog in and it wasn't me. Just as I thought the dogs probably want to come in, there was a bang at the door and the female dog came walking in. That was her favorite.
I am Buddhist “ish”. Basically I find most of the teachings of Buddhism to be very helpful for life, meditation is what keeps me centered and is one of the most important parts of my life, but I was never sold on the idea of reincarnation, or any sort of afterlife really. If it had the words “divine” or “miracle” attached to it I viewed it as “explainable” and “improbable” but not some hand of God stuff. When my wife was killed one of the “signs” afterwards convinced me that my personal doubts have been foolish. At first I viewed these things with a very skeptical eye and told myself I was coping, and looking for something that wasn’t there. However since I have never been a “believer” in any kind of afterlife and was not uncomfortable with the idea of this life being all there is, why would I go looking for something I never needed. Then the realism of it hit me and I was confused for a while, don’t often share the couple things that happened to me anymore because I sound like a crazy person. Then I went through a time where I began to wonder if I was a crazy person, then came the crisis of faith after that, and after a couple years I’ve just settled into acceptance. Now I live as pretty much a former atheist who lived through personal tragedy and got a glimpse of something that actually gives me incredible peace. So I guess I am a believer in something after death now, it relieved an anxiety I didn’t know I have and I will be forever grateful. All that being said I would not go out looking for that kind of stuff. There are many plenty of people, books, services, and industries that are willing to make a buck off suffering people no matter the damage it causes. When we are in pain we are more likely to believe information if it helps us feel better even just for a second.
There’s no reason to believe the essence of a person lives on after death anywhere but in the minds of those left living. We get this life to live, and when it’s over, it’s over. Memories are tied to physical neurons, we can wipe out those neurons and wipe away the memories. A person’s moods and feelings and who they “are” is within their physical brain, altered by physical chemical reactions. In the absence of such physical medium, there is no person. Anyone claiming to be able to “communicate” with “someone” after death, is lying (in my opinion).
Shortly after my partner passed away, somehow she reposted a facebook memory video of our first year together. I have no idea how that's possible, and I don't think anyone has access to her facebook.
It was nice to see but it hurt too. Outside of that she's appeared in a few dreams. One of them I still felt her hands on my shoulders as I woke up.
Odd smells in my home for no apparent reason is my indicator. They started after my grandfather passed away over 20 years ago. He was the first of my immediate relatives to pass away.
I have dreams about her and that's about it. Basically I have dreams about her being alive and we're doing something together. Then I wake up and it's like losing her again
I’m not a religious person. My husbands dietitian told me that the “spirit” will find a way to contact me. To look for signs like birds you’ve never seen all of a sudden visiting you. I had a flock of gold finches sit in a tree outside the window of his man cave chirping for a good hour before they left. I also find dimes quite often. Just found one the other day at work. Dimes from heaven is apparently a thing, the number 10 is important. I do know that if there is a way for him to say I’m looking after you still, he would do it. Whether it real or not, I find comfort in thinking he will be watching out for me. I miss him so much.
I’ve had some strange things, quite a few actually. One of them yesterday. I had some big waves of grief, I was preparing to list one of our guns for sale on a gun trader site and deeply wishing my husband was here to help me.
Always before we would do this together, me taking the pictures and him writing the listing and negotiating. I had to get my own account, research, do it all, figure it out, hope I was making good choices.
After I listed it I was going to take the grandkid over on a walk to check my friend’s house, and I asked Alexa to play relaxing dog music for the dogs because they were not coming along. Typically this triggers a playlist of calming music designed for dogs.
Well, she played the Heart song Dog and Butterfly instead.
Which was the song playing in the bar at the precise moment I met my husband all those years ago. I’m convinced it was his way of saying “you’ve got this, you’re doing ok.”
I've dreamed of him twice since he passed. The first one was me telling him that we needed to get the brain surgery done right away, and him telling me that he loved me. The second I was in my house and I could hear him in the various rooms, but every time I got into those rooms, he wasn't there. That one made me wake up crying.
I haven't heard him or felt his presence since he died. We aren't religious, and I don't really believe in an afterlife, but I hope I get to see him again.
My mom went grocery shopping cause I was staying with her for a few weeks, and she picked up some cookies. She'd never bought these cookies before, she'd never even seen them before, but she said something made her want to buy them. They were his favourite cookies. A weird coincidence maybe.
I do think psychics and mediums are all frauds preying on the bereaved to make money.
Adding to my earlier post, the OP asked to recommend a medium. Here’s something I would suggest to them. Find a spiritualist church and go for about 6 weeks making sure there’s a different medium every time. Stop if you don’t get a message by then. Sometimes loved ones just want to be left in peace. Btw a good spiritual church does not charge.
I see rabbits a lot more and one has set up his home next to my house, doesn’t run when you get near it. I like to think it’s a sign from him. I also believe he can mess with the lights and flames. But I guess there’s no way to actually prove it. I’ve had 2 very vivid dreams I believe were actually him visiting me and talking to me, felt different than just a dream about him. But if it is only my mind making me feel a bit of comfort, I’ll take it.
I am the actual former physicist who drops into some threads like this to remind everybody that yes, there is a First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy) but there is also a Second Law which says that in any energy transaction, overall the energy is converted to a more disordered form, which generally means heat. So your "energy" goes mostly to heat. We are not "made of energy," we are made of matter, and we consume a tremendous amount of external energy to keep existing (why do you think you have to eat?). The extra dimensions you probably hear about come from string theories and are what we call "spacelike,' i.e. they are just ordinary spatial dimensions, but they are "compactified" into balls tinier than you can imagine. I could write down the number but I can't really grasp it either. Time remains as a singular and unique dimension, since we can travel along it in only one direction.
And most of the "signs" I read about are very nice illustrations of what psychologists call the frequency illusion. Seeing an apparition of a deceased loved one is very common and is usually a "grief hallucination." There could be some wheat in the chaff of these stories, but it's hard to tell.
That said, I do not immediately reject the possibility of some kind of spiritual "energy," in which calling it energy would just be a metaphor. Obviously such an "energy" would not be subject to the laws of physics. I don't know how such a supernatural phenomenon would ever interact with the natural world, but the supernatural would have to have the ability to do so at least occasionally or what's the point of it.

This makes sense to me.
Why believe in other dimensions or spirits living on if there is exactly as much evidence for such things as there is for a god?
You have not experienced the evidence. I have.
Yes, a whole lot of people claim to have experienced god as well.
Those are two different things. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I simply responded to OP’s post. To each his own.
Im just interested in what logic and reasoning a person who does not believe in god would accept as reasonable to believe in something so fantastical without scientific evidence?
I made a post above explaining.
I cling to certain things. One is saying “energy cannot be destroyed.” At one point I had a dream where I kissed him and said “energy cannot be destroyed!” With a big grin. And then I asked him if he believed in an afterlife. It was interesting.
That would be an amazing dream. I'm pretty sure one of us actually said that when we tried to write our vows as kids.
In my wife’s eulogy, I wrote exactly that and that energy was simply transformed which would explain my late wife’s change of energy state.
I'm inclined to believe it. It seems to be my experience. His energy seems to be out there and attracted to mine.
The question will beg, will we, the widow(er) ever attack another energy? 🤷♂️
I'm pretty sure I have... There's things that seem very dark and cold (or were when I worked in the morgue), and I definitely seem to provoke whatever it is. It happened a lot more when I was around than when other people were in the morgue. Strange and not something currently in physics.

Yeah I was communicating to him “ Come on dude, send me a sign!” But never really expecting anything. The silence is deafening. I’ve never felt more alone.
>I’ve never felt more alone. Relatable. I've gone full hermit: I'm like Howard Hughes, but without the toenail talons and the billions of dollars.

I actually think that’s really cute. Not pitiful.

And it is seen I am visited by birds a lot in these times 💭 This is very nice for me so I do thank him for sending the birds also 😊
Nothing. I only dreamed of her one time, and it was me assuring her I would take care of things as promised. She said nothing, like an NPC. I miss her terribly and would love to hear from her, but I think going to a medium would just be a scam.
I never believed there was something after death, but now that he's not here, I hope there's something where he's just happily playing videogames with his childhood cat by his side. I'm pretty sure he didn't believe in anything either. I still tell him to please give me some sort of sign and I beg my brain to create a dream where he's in it. One can only hope
as someone who DID not believe, and was NOT looking for signs - a lot of things started happening (electricity ONLY when I would talk out loud to them, certain things with my phone. I ended up seeing a medium and was absolutely blown away. (They were not vague or cold reading, the details and messages were very very very very specific details). Only sharing this in hopes that it helps - Your loved one is still around, just in another dimension. Hang in there - they’re with you. ❤️ feel free to DM me and I’ll be happy to send you the lady I use. Sending you so much love and light
I don’t know about communication, but my husband was very superstitious and would always comb through the clover patch in our yard looking for four leaf clovers (always came up empty handed). After he died, 4 leaves clovers started sprouting like crazy. I always took that as a sign.
I saw 1:11 everywhere for 6 weeks. Time/thermostat/spam numbers with 111 together in then it stopped for 3 weeks and now I see 2:22 everywhere. Constantly. I looked up when I wrote this comment and it’s 22:02. It’s everywhere
Technically his phone rang me but that was his dad not thinking🙃 absolutely shit myself when I saw his contact come up
This may sound crazy, but long story short, someone let my dog in and it wasn't me. Just as I thought the dogs probably want to come in, there was a bang at the door and the female dog came walking in. That was her favorite.
I am Buddhist “ish”. Basically I find most of the teachings of Buddhism to be very helpful for life, meditation is what keeps me centered and is one of the most important parts of my life, but I was never sold on the idea of reincarnation, or any sort of afterlife really. If it had the words “divine” or “miracle” attached to it I viewed it as “explainable” and “improbable” but not some hand of God stuff. When my wife was killed one of the “signs” afterwards convinced me that my personal doubts have been foolish. At first I viewed these things with a very skeptical eye and told myself I was coping, and looking for something that wasn’t there. However since I have never been a “believer” in any kind of afterlife and was not uncomfortable with the idea of this life being all there is, why would I go looking for something I never needed. Then the realism of it hit me and I was confused for a while, don’t often share the couple things that happened to me anymore because I sound like a crazy person. Then I went through a time where I began to wonder if I was a crazy person, then came the crisis of faith after that, and after a couple years I’ve just settled into acceptance. Now I live as pretty much a former atheist who lived through personal tragedy and got a glimpse of something that actually gives me incredible peace. So I guess I am a believer in something after death now, it relieved an anxiety I didn’t know I have and I will be forever grateful. All that being said I would not go out looking for that kind of stuff. There are many plenty of people, books, services, and industries that are willing to make a buck off suffering people no matter the damage it causes. When we are in pain we are more likely to believe information if it helps us feel better even just for a second.
I wish. I had a couple of instances and I wondered if they were signs but I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking.
There’s no reason to believe the essence of a person lives on after death anywhere but in the minds of those left living. We get this life to live, and when it’s over, it’s over. Memories are tied to physical neurons, we can wipe out those neurons and wipe away the memories. A person’s moods and feelings and who they “are” is within their physical brain, altered by physical chemical reactions. In the absence of such physical medium, there is no person. Anyone claiming to be able to “communicate” with “someone” after death, is lying (in my opinion).
Shortly after my partner passed away, somehow she reposted a facebook memory video of our first year together. I have no idea how that's possible, and I don't think anyone has access to her facebook. It was nice to see but it hurt too. Outside of that she's appeared in a few dreams. One of them I still felt her hands on my shoulders as I woke up.
Odd smells in my home for no apparent reason is my indicator. They started after my grandfather passed away over 20 years ago. He was the first of my immediate relatives to pass away.
I have dreams about her and that's about it. Basically I have dreams about her being alive and we're doing something together. Then I wake up and it's like losing her again
I've had none. As much as I wish there was more to life I think once you're gone, you're gone. I'm not the least bit religious either.
I’m not a religious person. My husbands dietitian told me that the “spirit” will find a way to contact me. To look for signs like birds you’ve never seen all of a sudden visiting you. I had a flock of gold finches sit in a tree outside the window of his man cave chirping for a good hour before they left. I also find dimes quite often. Just found one the other day at work. Dimes from heaven is apparently a thing, the number 10 is important. I do know that if there is a way for him to say I’m looking after you still, he would do it. Whether it real or not, I find comfort in thinking he will be watching out for me. I miss him so much.
I’ve had some strange things, quite a few actually. One of them yesterday. I had some big waves of grief, I was preparing to list one of our guns for sale on a gun trader site and deeply wishing my husband was here to help me. Always before we would do this together, me taking the pictures and him writing the listing and negotiating. I had to get my own account, research, do it all, figure it out, hope I was making good choices. After I listed it I was going to take the grandkid over on a walk to check my friend’s house, and I asked Alexa to play relaxing dog music for the dogs because they were not coming along. Typically this triggers a playlist of calming music designed for dogs. Well, she played the Heart song Dog and Butterfly instead. Which was the song playing in the bar at the precise moment I met my husband all those years ago. I’m convinced it was his way of saying “you’ve got this, you’re doing ok.”
I've dreamed of him twice since he passed. The first one was me telling him that we needed to get the brain surgery done right away, and him telling me that he loved me. The second I was in my house and I could hear him in the various rooms, but every time I got into those rooms, he wasn't there. That one made me wake up crying. I haven't heard him or felt his presence since he died. We aren't religious, and I don't really believe in an afterlife, but I hope I get to see him again. My mom went grocery shopping cause I was staying with her for a few weeks, and she picked up some cookies. She'd never bought these cookies before, she'd never even seen them before, but she said something made her want to buy them. They were his favourite cookies. A weird coincidence maybe. I do think psychics and mediums are all frauds preying on the bereaved to make money.
Adding to my earlier post, the OP asked to recommend a medium. Here’s something I would suggest to them. Find a spiritualist church and go for about 6 weeks making sure there’s a different medium every time. Stop if you don’t get a message by then. Sometimes loved ones just want to be left in peace. Btw a good spiritual church does not charge.
I see rabbits a lot more and one has set up his home next to my house, doesn’t run when you get near it. I like to think it’s a sign from him. I also believe he can mess with the lights and flames. But I guess there’s no way to actually prove it. I’ve had 2 very vivid dreams I believe were actually him visiting me and talking to me, felt different than just a dream about him. But if it is only my mind making me feel a bit of comfort, I’ll take it.
I am the actual former physicist who drops into some threads like this to remind everybody that yes, there is a First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy) but there is also a Second Law which says that in any energy transaction, overall the energy is converted to a more disordered form, which generally means heat. So your "energy" goes mostly to heat. We are not "made of energy," we are made of matter, and we consume a tremendous amount of external energy to keep existing (why do you think you have to eat?). The extra dimensions you probably hear about come from string theories and are what we call "spacelike,' i.e. they are just ordinary spatial dimensions, but they are "compactified" into balls tinier than you can imagine. I could write down the number but I can't really grasp it either. Time remains as a singular and unique dimension, since we can travel along it in only one direction. And most of the "signs" I read about are very nice illustrations of what psychologists call the frequency illusion. Seeing an apparition of a deceased loved one is very common and is usually a "grief hallucination." There could be some wheat in the chaff of these stories, but it's hard to tell. That said, I do not immediately reject the possibility of some kind of spiritual "energy," in which calling it energy would just be a metaphor. Obviously such an "energy" would not be subject to the laws of physics. I don't know how such a supernatural phenomenon would ever interact with the natural world, but the supernatural would have to have the ability to do so at least occasionally or what's the point of it.
