recognized their significance because of your brain, which was telling you the truth.

There's a book on the subject of signs that I've often recommended, Hello From Heaven by Bill Guggenhein and Judy Guggenheim: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_from_Heaven!

Bill has a website that lists types of ADCs (after death communications) - http://www.billguggenheim.com/types-of-adcs.html - and that links to a larger website: http://www.after-death.com/

I'd also recommend David Kessler's Visions, Trips, and Crowded Rooms: Who and What You See Before You Die. Kessler worked with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
