As for the Transfiguration: Where were those whom He was talking to? What of those in Heaven? What is your view of their reality, time/space, perception?

But you never can find any example of anyone being told to pray to a human being, dead or alive.

I think (hope) you know the Catholic view on worship vs. prayer. Pray means ask. Praying to the saints is not to be confused with worship. It's more like asking, or conversation for some.

So asking a saint to pray for us is the most normal use - what you might call "praying to."

As for examples of "anyone being told to pray to a human being, dead or alive," there are many. I think several from Paul.

Praying to the saints is not to be confused with worship.

of course it is, but that wasn't what I was talking about.

My question is how do you talk to the dead, do they talk back and where in scripture are you told to pray to anyone besides God or Christ?
