My grandmother died unexpectedly six years ago. She had been in the hospital for over a month, but no one in the family expected her to die. However, one night shortly before her death, I fell asleep on the sofa at my mom's house. My mom had an old black and white baby picture of my grandmother hanging on the living room wall. When I woke up from my nap, I looked at the picture. It seemed strangely ALIVE! I'm not saying that the face in the picture moved or talked, but it just somehow seemed more alive than usual. I thought it was strange, and I was disturbed by it. Even though no one really thought my grandmother was going to die, I think that somehow deep inside I knew it was coming, but I didn't want to face it. What do you think?

One Easter Sunday I was taking pictures of my kids with their grandparents. When I developed the film there was one picture that looked so eerie. It was of my father-in-law kissing my son on the cheek. Something about the picture looked so final, like a goodbye. I showed it to my husband but he didn't see what I was talking about.
Five months later my father-in-law was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 lung cancer. He died less than a year later.

How long had you been awake when the picture seemed alive? If it was immediately after your awakening, you could have not been fully conscious and still in a dreamlike state. You could have come to realize that life is short and that she meant so much to you that you wanted and needed to connect with her, so your subconscious allowed you that type of contact. Psychologists have suggested that dream content often reflects what's going on in your life.
Maybe not a paranormal experience 'cause there's a lot more to our mind than we find out in day-to-day life.

depending on your beliefs it could be a sign or it could be a coincidence. believe what you feel is right to believe.
I had a dream in high school that the marching band I was in was going to win top honors at our next competition. (We had been getting last place all season) and we did.
Robert Russeler, the guy behind the FBI criminal profiling unit. Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy was his most interesting subject. Oddly, the night Gacy was executed, he woke up suddenly at the exact moment that Gacy died and a picture of Gacy seemed to come alive.

I believe our spirits live after our bodies die. Being a Native American Indian I could give a lot of different thoughts on that. You are the only one that can really know, you are the one who experienced it.

I think you are tuning into your ability to "see" beyond this world and it will help you and many others if you will allow it to progress. Godloveya.

It's all psychology. Your own feelings of what were to come were projected onto her photo.
