I’ve been teaching psychic development and mediumship classes for 15 years, and study the latest work of experts in the field so I can deliver fun and innovative lessons to help my students tap into their intuitive abilities. But lately, it seems I’ve developed a method of instruction that I wasn’t even aware of. A couple students have said I teach them by appearing in their dreams!

One student reported that I’d come to her while she was sleeping, and asked if she was enjoying herself and was there anything I could clarify for her.

Another student, Patrick, stayed after class once to talk about something. As everyone was filing out, he said, "I don’t know if I’ve been dreaming or having out-of-body experiences, but for two nights in a row, I’ve dreamed about you."

The first dream happened after he used Kaya and Christine Muller’s Angel Cards. He’d randomly picked the card for Mikael – the archangel Michael. The card listed a dozen of Mikael’s attributes, including "Allows us to discover secrets, mysteries." "Instructs and teaches during the night" and "Establishes absolute Power of the Spirit."

"I spoke Mikael’s name before I went to bed, and then had a very short dream," Patrick continued. "In it, you came to me and said, ‘You’re being announced in heaven, and you have arrived.’

"On the next night, you appeared and led me into a huge building. We walked up several flights of stairs and into a room that looked like an assembly hall that was filled with students from many different teachers. One wall had a huge window, and I saw the moon shimmering over a mountain. Then you told everyone, ’I want you to walk around this house and feel infused with spirit. Feel spirit everywhere.’

"So I closed my eyes and took a breath. I felt like I was breathing in spirit all around me. I walked through several rooms and sensed different spirits in each room. Each time I sensed a spirit, I felt like I was connecting to the universe. And everything around me was connected to the universe.

"Then I entered a room with huge mirrors. One mirror was filled with wavy lines, like static on a TV screen. The lines coalesced and formed the words: ‘The veil is coming down. The veil is becoming thinner. Breathe in spirit.’

"When I read those lines, I felt that message connected to my other dream, where you spoke to me and said, ‘I have arrived, and I’m being announced in heaven.’

"You called us back into the main assembly room. You led a session like one of our classes, and I sat beside someone I knew, and we gave each other messages. My message was, ‘We know who you are, and you can do it. That’s what you’re here for.’

"Then I felt the spirit of my father. He wanted me to give a message to my sister. I also heard the name ‘Mary,’ and I received a message for Mary.

"After I woke, I called my sister and gave her the message about my father and Mary. I asked who Mary was. She reminded me that my father dated a woman named Mary after my parents split up." He paused a moment. "What’s amazing is my parents separated when I was one year old, so I didn’t even know that he’d had another partner named Mary. Anyway, I passed the message to my sister in the hopes that someday Mary will get it."

Patrick grinned and shrugged. "That’s all," he said. "I just thought you’d like to know."

I thanked him for telling me his story, then walked him to the door. "I believe we all leave our bodies during sleep and go home three times a week," I said.

"Go home?" he asked.

"The spirit world. Some call it heaven," I said, then joked, "I’ll try not to disturb your sleep anymore."

Patrick laughed. "If you have to visit heaven, what better way to do it then with your teacher?"
