Well I would ask you if these dreams where the name was spoken to you we scary, or just perplexing or what were you feeling while dreaming and hearing the name?This is a big clue to whether this is benign or malignant.IF you felt okay and maybe just a little perplexed and annoyed cause it happened so often,then I would say that your instincts to research the name were correct,but you have been (for lack of a better word) spirit sensitive for a while, so you already know the answer to your question you just aren't confident of it yet and rightfully so.
Being sensitive and arrogant does not work and the gift can be withdrawn if abused.( Humility Reverence and knowing how to just not say anything to everyone about this neat thing that you can do )etc,. etc........However, I think you are asking for confirmation .
This spirit spoke his name to you because of a few things.#1. You're receptive to spirit world so you were/are accessible.#2. You share an intimate common and that is you both reside/resided in the same "home".
And probably most importantly #3. This person feels forgotten by the living..... Those that knew him, his family etc. probably don't, for instance, pray for him or speak of him much any more.Saying his name to you is like extending a hand for a hand shake. IF you were not afraid of 'him' BUT were/are more or less just curious and feel compelled to find out about him (telling you his name brought results about some one who had once lived in the house) then do the lad a favor, .........say a prayer of peace for him. Speak it 'aloud ' and say a prayer acknowledging that you 'heard him 'and 'recognize him' as some one that used to live there. IF, you can do that, and do it comfortably,I know it will help this 'forgotten' soul feel much much comfort and validation.....From the experience you describe here
I don't think you have to worry about him playing 'tricks' on you in the house,IF,he does( don't allow another spirit energy trick you into thinking that 'it' is him person you already know(the dude that once lived there). Speak to him out loud, and by name, to 'please stop what' he is 'doing because it makes' you 'uncomfortable. Tell this spirit that you are not used to that kind of behaviors of the ghostly realm, because you do not dwell there. Be polite yet firm. That should do the trick. They only know what we say to them out loud. 'They' can 'talk' to us in dreams, if allowed, and they can manifest their energy and reveal themselves to us, but, and I repeat BUT, ghosts cannot read our minds. Speaking out loud to them is a MUST if you must 'talk' to them. And don't hesitate to tell a ghost that is making a ruckus, doing unsettling things, to "Stop"! because what 'it' is doing is "scaring you" and it will stop, because mostly all spirits of the dead, do not know that 'it' is scaring the person that can see, and or sense them, and they do not desire to scare the living. Once they know that you are uncomfortable with them making their self known to you, they back off. It Is totally different for demonic spirits, the procedure for understanding their behavior and what governs them etc. Those are a whole different ball game, nonetheless still very real. I am sure you have had your own run ins with the demonic. IF you haven't, because of this 'gift' ,you will. Remember, sincere prayer is the key. Asking for understanding, for protection, for comfort, of your Heavenly Father is the most Important thing you can do for yourself and your spiritual gift. He is the Ultimate Teacher and He will teach you, and open your eyes to understand of these things, if , you allow and ask of Him. Do not seek the occult or occult formula (tarot cards, Ouija boards, mediums and such) because #1 You're spiritual gift is from God and there is absolutely no need this stuff, you can do what is to be done with out it.and #2 It offends the greatest spiritual teacher of all, God. and God is all you need. He wants us to Seek His counsel in such matters and of all things spiritual. Don't fear but ask of Him as if you were a little child wanting to know an answer to something, with sincerity and expectation. If you can do these things, I know that you won't be 'misled' or tricked or possessed or feeling attacked and abandoned or puzzled. Your eyes of understanding will be blessed and you will learn more and more as you become more worthy of this blessing. Good Luck, God Bless. Please email me if you have something to ask concerning this and I will do my best to answer, if I can't answer I will say so and do my best to lead you in the direction of truth and goodness and understanding for you,by what advice or thoughts I may reply back to you. This kinda thing can be isolating and make one feel lonely for some one that can relate. I have been there too, and this is why I offer my hand(email) as a token of friendship and camaraderie.I am a Christian, but I AM NOT a chu
