My life has been a mystical, wonderful journey. I have four children. My second born, a son, is often in my dreams. (I am a very lucid dreamer.) This son seems to be on a special spiritual journey with me to a higher existence. We help each other, and the trust we share is powerful. I have a great relationship with all my children, but this son seems to have a special purpose. My experience with him has been unusual from the start. For example, I was using birth control, yet I still conceived him. Why would this relationship seem so special and different? Any ideas you have would be appreciated! Thank you!

I think what you are experiencing is more common than most parents admit. It is very politically correct to say, I love all my children equally, and they are all the same.
Well, that is just not true. My children are completely different from one another, and I do not love them the same. I love my daughter for who and what she is, and I love my son for who and what he is. I love them both with all my heart, but my love is different for each person.
Your special relationship with your son has definitely grown from past life experiences. We have a soul family that we keep meeting over and over in different forms in THIS life. For example, my daughter in this life was my mother in a past life. This is very obvious at times. If she does not know where I am, she calls my cell phone and says, Where are you?
Sometimes old
relationships seep over into your relationships in this life. Because of all those past lives together, you and your son get along VERY well. You have a special bond with his soul. It does not mean he is your favorite, per se, but you do share more spiritual experiences with him than the others.
Sue, both my children were birth control babies. I firmly believe that if a soul is supposed to be here, it WILL get here. Your son came despite the birth control because he was supposed to be here. He is highly psychic and a strong empath. He has always been a very loving, caring and helpful soul.
He also has to learn his own lessons for his own soul. I feel strongly that your son is very close to Ascension. His soul is ready to stay on the Otherside instead of reincarnating here on earth. He is almost done learning everything that he has to learn. This is one of his last lives, if not the last. You are here to help each other. You are the one person on this planet who really understands him.
So, to wrap this all up in a pretty package, the reason this feels so special and different is because you and your son connect on a deeper level than you connect with any other person on this earth. You connect on a soul level. When we know someone at that deep level, it is always a unique and special bond. It is rare and hard to find. He is also a traveling companion while you are lucid dreaming, and that is a wonderful bond in and of itself.
I wish you and your son many happy adventures.

The most important people in our lives are almost always people that we have known and loved in other incarnations. Holy relationships exist for all Souls who return to the Earth Plane. Whether the one we love is a father, brother, lover, husband, son or friend, all key relationships teach us really important spiritual lessons.
You and your son have been very close ever since a lifetime you shared in Atlantis when you were twins. Side by side, you worked on biological and scientific discoveries with a special aim at linking biology to spirituality in human beings and animals. You were especially fond of working with sea creatures - dolphins most of all.
From that lifetime, you moved on to Egypt, China, India, Russia, Western Europe, and now here, in the present time. The two of you are never part of the Random, but always part of the Purpose. Your goals were set before you reincarnated together. This time, your partner chose to be your son so that you could experience that kind of love with one another. This bond may be the strongest connection either of you will ever feel.
In Celestial Incarnations, when Souls rest and rejuvenate, you and your son planned other lives for the future, selecting your locations, parents, lovers and friends. Planning what your own Purpose was going to be in each incarnation to come took many hundreds of years, though sometimes, your return to a new life on earth occurred soon after the end of your previous life.
The other children may or may not have been with you in other lifetimes, but you're correct: this is a different kind of enlightenment you share with this particular son. It's not that you love the others less, but it feels like SO MUCH MORE with him. Perhaps this is because you know and understand each other better than you know the other people in your family. You recognize each other's moods and feelings, and see things in one another that other people on the outside can't see.
Hopefully, this will help you on your own journey and show you how far true understanding and loving affection can take people when they have been together in many lifetimes. Your relationship will also serve as a wonderful example of what is possible. By setting a great example of closeness and understanding, your whole family will be guided into a deeper, closer, more meaningful union.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
