HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND

Please, if anyone who knows about this topic or has had similar experiences could guide me a little, I would be extremely grateful.

Since June I have been writing a very important story about my grandmother, life, death, and my ancestors. My writing method is a bit strange, because I only write when I feel I must, as if I have to connect emotionally or spiritually with what I’m writing, avoiding doing it mechanically, which makes me take a long time to finish my pieces. The thing is, there was one night when I insisted that I had to write, but nothing came to mind and I felt unable to do it. Suddenly, while I was looking at a photograph of my grandmother that I have framed on my desk, I smelled a masculine perfume, followed by a feminine scent that reminded me very strongly of my grandmother (which is strange because I don’t remember much about her). After those two I began to perceive much subtler perfumes that were neither masculine nor feminine. When I smelled the perfume that reminded me so much of my grandmother, I was able to reconnect with my writing and I spent the whole night writing. It should be clarified that I had never smelled any of those perfumes on anyone before, that nobody could have entered my room, that it was very late at night, and that I felt the perfumes were not physically present, as if they were on another plane.

What was strange was that when I smelled the first masculine perfume I remembered that a few weeks earlier, while I was drawing in my bedroom a portrait of a writer to give to a former teacher whom I deeply admire, I had smelled that masculine perfume for the first time, although at the time I didn’t attach any importance to it; when I smelled it again while writing, everything felt very odd. I recently talked with that teacher, he is a rational and very intelligent person, and explained what happened with the phantom perfumes after telling him about my story, although at first I thought he wasn’t taking me seriously. However, when I finished explaining it, he told me that he had also strange experiences with that writer who died many years ago. Apparently, a close person who had attempted to take their own life felt the need to paint that same writer without knowing who he was and without knowing that my teacher was interested in him, and the strangest thing is that that person chose to paint the same image of the writer that I had chosen to draw.

Also, this does not end here. On the last day of summer in the almost abandoned village where my grandmother was born and where part of the story I’m writing takes place, I was walking at night with my friend through an area where no one goes, and suddenly I smelled the men’s perfume again, the grandmother’s scent, and those more subtle ones. It surprised me a lot because this time they were much stronger and I could tell they were actually there, even my friend managed to smell the men’s scent, but only that one.

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Could it be that my grandmother was trying to communicate with me? Why does the masculine scent I don’t recognize come before the others? Does it have anything to do with what happened with my former teacher? Why does this happen to me? I should note that some people in my family have had strange experiences with spirits, although it is a very taboo subject that they always try to avoid.

Please, I know it’s all very strange and long, but if someone could guide me or give their interpretation, I would be very happy. Thank you for reading.

Por favor, si alguien que conoce sobre este tema o ha tenido experiencias similares pudiese guiarme un poco en esto, estaría sumamente agradecida. 

Desde junio he estado escribiendo un relato muy importante sobre mi abuela, la vida, la muerte y mis ancestros. Mi método de escritura es un poco extraño, ya que solo lo hago cuando "siento" que debo hacerlo, como si tuviese que conectarme emocional o espiritualmente con aquello que escribo, evitando hacerlo de manera mecanizada y tardando mucho en acabar mis trabajos. Pues la cosa es que hubo una noche en la que yo me puse pesada con que debía escribir, pero no se me venía nada a la cabeza y me notaba incapaz de hacerlo. De repente, mientras miraba una fotografía de mi abuela que tengo enmarcada en mi escritorio, me vino el olor a un perfume masculino que precedía a uno femenino que me recordaba muchísimo a mi abuela (lo cual es extraño porque yo no recuerdo nada de ella). Después de estos dos me empezaron a venir olores de perfumes mucho más sutiles que no eran ni masculinos ni femeninos. Al oler el perfume que me recordaba tantísimo a mi abuela, pude volver a conectar con mi escrito y estuve toda la noche escribiendo. Cabe aclarar que nunca he olido a nadie con esos perfumes, que nadie pudo haber entrado a mi habitación, que eran las tantas de la noche y que yo notaba que los perfumes no existían físicamente, como si estuviesen en otro plano.

Lo extraño fue que al oler el primer perfume masculino recordé que pocas semanas antes, mientras dibujaba un retrato de un escritor para regalárselo a un antiguo profesor al que admiro profundamente, me vino por primera vez el olor a aquel perfume masculino, aunque en aquel momento no le tomé importancia; al volver a olerlo, se me hizo todo muy extraño. Hace poco hablé con aquel profesor, el cual es una persona sensata y muy inteligente, explicándole lo sucedido con los perfumes fantasma después de hablarle sobre mi relato, pero pensé que no me estaba tomando en serio. Sin embargo, cuando acabé de explicárselo, me dijo que él también había tenido experiencias extrañas con ese escritor que murió hace ya muchos años. Al parecer, una persona cercana que había tratado de quitarse la vida sintió la necesidad de hacerle una pintura del mismo escritor sin saber quién era y sin saber tampoco que a mi profesor le interesaba, y lo más extraño es que aquella persona eligió pintar la misma imagen del escritor que yo elegí dibujar.

Además, esto no acaba aquí. El último día de verano en el pueblo casi abandonado donde nació mi abuela y donde se desarrolla parte de la historia que estoy escribiendo, iba paseando de noche con mi amiga por una zona donde no pasa nadie, y de repente volví a oler el perfume de hombre, el de abuela y aquellos más sutiles. Me extrañó mucho porque esta vez eran mucho más fuertes y sí que notaba que estaban ahí, incluso mi amiga llegó a oler el de hombre, pero solo ese. 

¿Alguien tiene idea de lo que puede estar pasando? ¿Puede ser que mi abuela estuviese tratando de comunicarse conmigo? ¿Por qué el de hombre que no reconozco va antes que el resto? ¿Tiene algo que ver con lo sucedido con mi antiguo profesor? ¿Por qué me sucede a mí? Marco que hay alguna gente en mi familia que ha tenido experiencias extrañas con espíritus, aunque es un tema muy tabú que siempre tratan de evitar. 

Por favor, ya sé que es todo muy raro y largo, pero si alguien me pudiese guiar o dar su interpretación, estaría muy feliz. Gracias por leer.

hi there! I think I might have something useful to say on the subject matter, as someone who's so sensitive to energies. this sort of thing happens to me all the time! so the phenomenon you're describing- about smelling perfumes that aren't actually in the room with you- is a really familiar one to me. I tend to associate it with being thought of by the other party, or that whatever you're thinking about is something they care for, too. of course, it gets a little tricky when the other party is no longer with us.
regardless, I definitely think that the scent is a means through which your grandmother communicates with you- if I had to guess, it's a gesture of warmth and support from her. it's strange, but I visualise her standing behind you and cupping her hand around your cheek while you write. I also wonder if the reason you can't quite remember the scent is because it's one she wore in your early childhood? - that's the sense I get, anyway.
also, it's nothing to be scared of! all of our loved ones go back to heaven, and if they're visiting us, it's just to share their love. I understand feeling nervous about it, though- especially if other family members have had similar experiences that they came to fear instead of embrace. it's pretty normal for this sort of sensitivity to run in families.
as for the masculine perfume: sorry, I have no idea!! my best guess is that he's acting as a spirit guide and helping you write. do you have a particular preference for his writing style? I feel like the perfumes tend to follow each-other in a specific 'sequence' so you know that they're both there, helping you.
let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy your writing, and that this experience brings you comfort and calm ♡

I am no expert but I do believe in the precede of spirits! I have never seen one myself, but in a similar way to your story, when my sister was just a toddler she was talking to the wall and when asked why she said “I’m playing with grandma”. (Mind you grandma died when my sister was an infant). I can’t help you in any way, but I can urge you to keep looking into it, it’s quite an interesting trail of events!!

In the presence of spirits*

Hiii thanks for your comment!! What you're telling about your little sister sounds both sweet and a bit scary, I always wondered why children have more sensitivity to spiritis. I'll try to look further into the situation and stay alert to new signs :-)

I am no expert on these things I'm afraid; you could find a reputable Medium that could interpret this and make sense of it for you.

Our passed loved ones find many ways to send signals/messages to us, whether it be physical 'movements' of things, electricity/gadgets or actually feeling their presence/energy which is quite profound and unmistakable when that happens (as I've felt my own Dad's energy a few weeks after he passed) I've also experienced two distinctive scents from him - TCP is an antiseptic lotion which he put on his septic ingrown toe nail that would never heal up - I smelt that strong aroma outside in the garden.
Also an old stale smell that reminded me of a distinct odd smell that came from his van.
So yes, go by your instincts; you are right to think your Grand mother is trying to contact you, and letting you know she is close by; she knows you are thinking/writing about her etc. and wants you to know she is there and supporting you :)
I'm not sure what to think about the masculine smell though... It could be the writer, or could it be your Grandfather, or another male in the family that has passed, and maybe looking out for you? I don't know.
It's nice, maybe comforting that your Grandmother is letting you know that she's close by.
But certainly seek out a reputable Medium if you want clarity or closure :)
