I am pretty close to her. Yes I have played with my dogs in the astral realm. As for her take, she keeps her spirituality to herself and only thought it was weird that I saw her having a bad dream prior to our waking up. My parents hadn't much to say about it either.
I hope you don’t mind Eric I want to also put this in the pet section just because I have witnessed a lot of of sensitivity in animals. It is too bad about your parents and kin not being sensitive to the spiritual and psychic plain that you are sensitive with. It is sad but we are often exposed to people who are close to us that may live so much on the physical plain that they show little or no sensitivity to our experiences. But there are other karmic factors that brought them into our sphere of influence. Sometimes people who are out of balance quite strongly in a material slant even can consider such experiences you have as strange so we learn to talk to others who are friends that understand such experiences and can appreciate them rather then to those who may write your experiences off as weird.
At some point you may develop to the degree to act as a transformer to your environment and the people in it. I have seen that in other spiritual people who may even have been considered mentally sick at first. Amma was a good example of this. She and Paramahansa Yogananda also had to go thru a lot of abuse from close family members before people recognized the significance of their behaviors. It teaches us an important lesson-that is to always be receptive to the experiences of people who come into our orb of influence and in our life- because we too may have not recognized the blessings of those who have entered our life till much later. Sadly it is often too late to show an appreciation for them when they are gone. Time is the great leveler to everyone’s ego and ignorance.
