This adventure began not too long ago, yet, when I reflect, it feels like I’ve been on this remarkable journey for my entire life. In this blog post, I’ll delve into some of the significant early life experiences that have led me to this point. It’s a common experience for folks like myself to discover that, once we tap into our innate abilities (abilities we all have to some degree), we notice numerous meaningful synchronicities in our past, revealing that this connection has been a part of us all along.
I was born in Wisconsin in November of 1977. Overall my formative years were a fairly good mixture of wonderful and difficult. As with any child “growing up”, there were joy-filled times and there were traumatic times. There was one thing that was abundantly clear, I was a sensitive child. By the time I reached adulthood, I was a fairly “damaged” human being, in part due to my sensitivity. Being sensitive in this 3D reality can be a bumpy ride until you gain an awareness of why we are here and why we experience the things we do… but I digress. I was also a vivid dreamer, both with my imagination and while asleep. If you asked 5-6 year old Melissa what she wanted to be when she grew up- her answer was astronaut! Maybe on some level I knew, even at that young age, where my exploration of consciousness would take me. Growing up in the late 70’s early 80’s, certainly colored those early experiences. Here are just some of the things humans were doing in space at that time:
- November 1978 | First spacecraft to orbit the Sun
- December 1978 | First extended (multi-year) orbital exploration of Venus
- September 1979 | First flyby of Saturn; First photograph of Titan from deep space
- April 1981 | Launch of first reusable crewed orbital spacecraft (Space Shuttle)
- March 1982 | First soil samples taken from Venus
- August 1982 | First woman on a space station
- …and the list goes on!
There were also a ton of new moons being discovered around Jupiter and Saturn throughout the 1970’s and 80’s. My mom put up a neat printed representation of our solar system on my closet doors and every time a new moon was discovered- she would add it to the display. In 1980, my parents, along with millions of other Americans tuned in to Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage”, the award-winning 13-part PBS series that took people on an “awe-inspiring cosmic journey to the edge of the Universe and back aboard the spaceship of the imagination”. The excitement of space exploration, discovery and “looking up” at the stars was part of my developmental journey.
The first experience I remember, that I now connect with ET/ED’s (Extraterrestrials/Extradimensionals) was a dream I had when I was around 6 years old. It wasn’t anything awe inspiring (lol) like a contact scenario, in fact the dream scared me. What I remember: I was in my home and we were about to leave. I went over to where my coat was hung, on a row of hooks near the garage door and when I removed my coat from the hook, I noticed a little engraved sort of brass looking plaque sitting right under the hook my coat was on. It read: “We are watching you” in a sort of flowy font. Thinking about it now, it was a very nice looking plaque! Nothing about what I was seeing in the dream was frightening- I was at home (a place I felt safe) but for some reason when I read those words I felt a deep seated fear. It startled me enough to wake me up out of the dream. I struggled with a lot of fear during childhood- and thinking some invisible force was watching me really frightened me! This dream was only the beginning for dreams dealing with nonhuman entities and their craft. For most of my life, I have had regular dreams of various UFO/UAP’s, where I see flying craft, sometimes one, sometimes many- I often would feel afraid. I also have contact experiences during sleep/while barely awake that honestly, at the time, terrified me.
Now that I am learning more about our galactic family and our cosmic heritage, the idea of being “watched” doesn’t bother me. I believe my “dimensionally different” friends were trying to gently remind me of who I am and why I am here. They were trying to say hello, but for the longest time I could not get past my fear. I didn’t understand the things I was experiencing and so it was all simply scary. I am now aware of our innate human abilities to communicate with the very beings who left that message for 6 year old me… and instead of being afraid- I am excited!
