Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
And welcome back to Coast to Coast George and area with Carol. I'll be back with us our latest work, Wisdom from the Spirit World.
Carol, welcome back, Good evening, George.
Good to have you with us. A great spiritual medium and author that you are. You've been the bridge between heaven and Earth and over fourteen thousand groups and readings. I bet that number is.
Even higher now it is, that's an approximation.
Well, good for you. Let's do.
Not a whole lot as far as you know, producing a new book, although I'm working on that now. As you know, that takes time, and I continue to do readings and mediumship.
Good for you, Good for you. Did The spirits use dreams a lot to communicate with us.
They do, that is one of the ways. And the reason for that is is because it's easier. Simply put, it's easier for them to reach us that way. And if we're talking about deceased loved ones, it's really at their discretion. I've discovered that we can't really initiate that. In other words, the dreamer can't make that happen. That's usually always at their discretion. Now there's also communication with our spirit guides, those souls who help us on our pathway,
and I have personally had experiences with that. It's fascinating and not even knowing who these folks really are, but having an interchange with them. In exchange and the spiritual communication that takes place is it's really emanating from outside of the rational mind, So it's not coming from our you know, our thinking mind. It's coming from the soul itself or the connection the awareness of the soul.
Which is very deep by that happening that way, isn't it?
It is, And it's something that there are many different types of those types of dreams, but it's something that once this occurs, you won't forget it. They're pretty profound and they oftentimes communicate information in a way that you know, we don't normally get and it's from that very profound and deep level of the spiritual self.
Carol, When we talk about spiritual communication, what do we mean?
So it's just that it's information that we're getting, we're receiving that's emanating from outside of our rational mind, so from the unconscious, which is actually part of everything. You know, we kind of are a part of that. The totality of consciousness and our subconscious mind is part of that. And so when we wink up in that way, when we are receiving information in that way, we can receive information from that higher source.
Carol's website soul Visions dot that is linked of at coast tocostdam dot com. How did you get involved in all of this in the first place.
You mean, in being a medium? Yeah, well, it's kind of interesting. It was through a very bad situation in my life, and you know, kind of a catastrophe and it was a fire, and it burned me out of the business that I was operating, and for about a year or so, a little bit less than that, maybe ten months or so, I floundered around and had no idea what I was to do with my life. And
this was about thirty years ago that this occurred. And I got a phone call and the phone call changed my life because it was from a friend who's no longer with us, and she invited me to a metaphysical center in a small town near me, and I started taking classes there and then I took other classes and I began doing healing work, hands on healing, and that took me into speaking mediumship and from there it's been it's just blossomed. It's been one thing after another, writing books,
doing a lot of media. So it really came out of something that was very bad for me, which that happened. Sometimes we can make something positive out of you know, it changes our life pathway, and certainly that fire changed the pathway of my life.
Did you escape the fire unscathed personally?
Yeah, This was in the middle of the night, so I wasn't there. So I got a phone call about four a m. And you know, there was really nothing. The building was still there. I was an electrical fire and one of the lights that we had there arcd and it ignited a couch that we had there, and so that took me out of that and so at the time it was very devastating. But as I'm sure some of your listeners now that out of a tragedy like that or something very painful, something good can come.
And sometimes we need that extra kick, you know, from God or the universe or spirit to move us in a different direction. I believe in my heart that that's really what happened there when.
We talk about spiritual dreams, Carol, what are they and are there various types?
Yeah, there are several different types. And one of those is and I'm sure some listeners have had these, it's.
Precognizance, oh sure.
Of knowing things ahead of time. And my personal theory on that is that that prepares an individual for whatever it is. So it could be the death of somebody, it could be something in the outer world, you know, something that is very life changing. So having this knowledge ahead of the event I call precognizance. There's also spiritual study, so when we actually travel and go to a school of sorts in the spirit world and more learning things. I've talked to many of my clients that have had
those sorts of things happen. We can also have prior lifetime dreams, so I call those bleed throughs, and we actually will know, you know, something will come up, usually a theme from prior lifetime, something that perhaps we need to do more work on in our current incarnation. But we flash back to there because again that stored in our subconscious in those things called I call them the
Acashic files. A lot of people have called them the Acashic records, but it's the totality of everything that the soul has done, So depending upon what comes up, we could have that sort of prior lifetime flashback. Then there's astral travel, and that's when we're actually coming out of the body and we're traveling. Our consciousness is traveling and we're going to a location and we're able to see it from that higher perspective and we're able to know
things that without physically traveling there. And then there's this very interesting thing that I've had happen, this phenomena of sacred geometry, and that's where we're actually seeing geometrical shapes, perhaps color, and there's information contained within those geometrical designs,
and I've had that happen. It doesn't happen frequently, but when it does, it's through clairvoyance, which is seeing in the mind's eye, and my theory on it is that there's some sort of higher information from the soul being communicated through that geometrical design.
It's fascinating. You know, a lot of times our dreams are based on events that happen when we're awake. A lot of times they're not. Well, what does that tell you about where dreams are centered? And focused Carol.
Yeah, absolutely, we can have dreams that are based on what happened during the day or something that we need to rationally process or emotionally process. Those I feel are coming more from our day to day living and from our rational mind. Spiritual dreaming is much deeper than that, so we can have both of those. With spiritual communication, we're actually connecting with that part of us that is indestructible upon death, and that's the soul itself and that
core consciousness. So those two types are the types that people have. I would say probably that it's much more common to have, you know, from our rational mind and so forth. But these other things, when they happen, are to me personally, when it's happened to me, very life changing and can really create a breakthrough for us on some level our spiritual growth.
Give us some of the examples if you can, of spiritual communication during the dream state.
Well, this one is really interesting that I personally have had and this was last year that this occurred, and it was right upon falling asleep. I suddenly found myself in a place and I'm just going to call it a place because I have no idea where it was. It was definitely not here on the earth. And there were certain forms there. They were shapes like triangles and you know, circles and things that I really I thought
were very peculiar to show up. And then there were there were figures there and they appeared to me as some sort of spiritual guides or higher masters, and they had long robes on. And the most profound thing that happened to me was the experience in this very short window of time. It was less than a minute that I felt completely liberated from my body and from my thoughts. And I remember, you know, just experiencing this and saying
to myself, this is who I really am. This, this experience is who I am apart from my personality, apart from my day to day living. This this is a liberating experience. And I remember experiencing that sort of free them and I don't think language really does it justice. It's really it was really a you know, a feeling that I had. And then I was back into my body and you know, I awoke and I thought, wow, that was really profound. And that was the only time
that happened. So we can have those sorts of experiences where we are we're aware of ourselves on that higher level, beyond our body, beyond our personality, and beyond our rational mind. Also, there are loved one visitations, and you mentioned this earlier. This is where we will actually make contact with those who are deceased. They're not here physically.
Why did they use the sleep state, Carol to communicate with us?
Yeah, it's just a lot easier here. It's an in between place, so kind of like mediumship. And that's why mediumship is called mediumship because the person who is the medium is meeting that person who is in the spirit world, that soul in the middle, and the soul has to low rise vibration in order to communicate. So there's that meeting in the middle of those two worlds. So it's the same way with dreaming that we connect with them and oftentimes there's very little exchange but the presence of
that soul. And I've talked about this on the show before that I had one of those with my late grandmother who passed way back and I was in college nineteen seventy seven, and she appeared, This was about fifteen seventeen years after her passing, and there was no words, there was nothing except a flow of love that I've never felt ever being in my body, you know, through my personality, I've never experienced that level or intensity of love.
So that is what I call a dream visitation, when that soul is actually there with you and you recognize them by that very profound level of the soul recognition. Now, on the negative side, there's also nightmares or what I have personally experienced, and maybe some of the listeners have experienced these night terrors and paralysis, right, paralysis, Yes, And I've had these since I was in my twenties. When I started having them, Interestingly, I was getting into a
lot of trouble at that time in my life. I was drinking heavily. This is when I was even before twenty five years of age, So between twenty and twenty five, I was drinking heavily and I experienced night hears. And I have my own theory on that. I've read a lot and I've heard people speak about them. I believe that there is actually an entity that is present during that and a lot of people experienced that, and so I kind of put it in this category of spiritual
in that you know, it's out of the ordinary. It's definitely not a mental or you know, an emotional processing type of experience. When I have had these happen, I perceive an entity that is there that is highly negative, and a lot of other people who have had these experienced that as well. Uh. It's also called the old Hag syndrome.
Uh huh, of course, and.
It's yeah, that's kind of a weird thing to call it, but it's referring to the you know, that negative entity kind of sits on.
Your chest and stifles you, doesn't it.
Yes, And the paralysis. I have had these things where I actually want to cry out or you know, scream, and even my vocal cores are paralyzed.
Makes it even more frightening.
It does. And I had one in my again going back into my twenties, where I perceived a an alien that was in the room with me, I mean, you know, like a gray a gray alien, and I was terrified, absolutely terrified.
Was it just perception or was it possibly real?
I believe it may actually have been real, because I've had I had one other experience in dream state where I was with aliens, not the grays, but the Pleaadians, And that's the only time that happened, and that was much more positive. This one with the Grays was highly frightening, and they were sort of just there again, no words exchanged, but the experience was one where I was paralyzed and you try to move, you even try to move a leg or an arm, and you can't move. And sometimes
there's an electrical shock that a company staff. I've had that happen as well.
