I swear when my granny was dying (she died of dementia when I was 4, I did not speak til almost that age) she told me that she was dying and that it was okay and to not worry, that she will be at peace. I wonder if we were speaking telepathically and my adult brain just can't comprehend how it's possible. I 100% believe you.

Maybe check out the Telepathy Tapes podcast.

After the Telepathy Tapes, there is a series of shorter things called... Talk Tracks I think which are basically interviews, and the one that came out like yesterday I think, episode 5, has an example of a woman who was dying of terminal cancer, and when she would be sleeping she'd dream she was in her childhood house as a child, and the child would interact with the people in that house. Anyway, you can listen yourself if it catches your fancy, but there's a fair bit of discussion about people with dementia and the like being able to interact with others.
