I was sure about only one thing in the vision. If the man in the woods was Tom's great great grandfather then that means He is from the past. Even though I now recognized him I didn't yet recognize the people in the field. The problem I was having though is that the people in the field didn't seem to be from the same time as the man in the woods. The clothes were different and more modern. Most of them were made in styles that I had never seen. Some of them were patched and worn but I could tell they were a newer style then the depression era clothes. Even so, they were different from what people wore then in 1986.
I started trying to hold on to the images longer and examine them more closely even though I found it upsetting and stressful. I realized that I couldn't place many of the things in the campground. The tents and tarps that were there were different from current styles. Some of the tools and equipment were also different in style. Many people didn't have shoes but the ones that did wore either moccasins, simple sandals or some odd style shoes that seemed almost from a future time.
The more I pondered on it the more the campground seemed strange to me. There were things there that I DID recognize but those were the old things like wood stoves and old hand tools. There were lanterns and lamps that were obviously old fashioned. The odd thing was that there was such a mix of modern and old fashioned. It was as if the PEOPLE were from a future more modern time but they were living as though time had passed them by.
I knew that there had been generations of family members living on the land but there had never been anything built on that particular spot. I also knew that prior to the family there were Cherokees that camped and hunted there. The people I could see were neither old relatives or native Americans though. I came to believe that they were from the future. The more I thought about it the more I began to think that was the answer to part of WHO they are but it still didn't answer WHY they were there and why I was the only one who seemed capable of seeing them.
It seemed to me that they knew I was there. They didn't react to me as though I was on the outside peering in. It was as if I was a part of their group and it also seemed that I was someone they looked towards for guidance. I didn't understand why they wanted me to help or tell them what to do because I knew next to nothing about camping and many of the other things they were working on. The fact that they seemed dependent on me, a green girl at the time was crazy to me. I had very few skills and I wasn't a leader. I didn't live in some gypsy camp and didn't plan on doing it in the future either. The whole thing was just beyond anything I had ever imagined and I was determined to live my life the way I wanted which didn't include these people.
Even though I tried to put the vision behind me it still came to me regardless. It wasn't every day or every minute of the day. There were longer spans when it didn't appear at all. I didn't blank out when it came. It was, like I said, just a flash or a brief minute here and there. It was very upsetting though and thinking about it was always tiring and left me shaken and upset. I wanted it to stop but it wouldn't. I had to come to grips with the vision and I didn't know where to start. I had no one that I felt comfortable confiding in and it was becoming a burden and now I was dealing with another situation. I had finally recognized someone in the vision!
