I have as of late been getting really creeped out about the way I feel about things, think about others and overall some things that keep happening to me. Hope this is the right place to post to get some answers.

Some may be coincidence, but I really feel strongly that some are not. Here goes...

There has been several occasions now where I have sat down, actually watched a bit of tv (I watch alot of older shows, cartoons. Don't watch much new shows or tv in general). There has been several commercials that I've seen for movies that are to come out next month, but I already know what happens, could have sworn I've already seen the movie. I've felt this so bad at times that I've explained what happens to a friend, documented it, then waited till the movie came out and went to see it, and I was right about what happens.

I discussed this with my "crazy" aunt, who gets alot of the same stuff happen to her, and now I don't think she is soo crazy anymore.

There have been too many cases to count on my next experience. I always talk to my girlfriend, and I will suddenly get bad feelings about something and usually I don't say anything, just so I don't "curse" us. Turns out my feeling ends up coming true moments later, and I tell her I was just thinking that would happen. It started to happen so frequently that I began to mention it, at the risk she would think I'm insane or a bad omen. Things end up coming true, but she thinks it's really extreme, to a good extreme. The only really horrible thing I have ever been able to say was going to happen was a horrible car accident she was in. I told her and the driver, that the driver was going to kill someone one day driving and that same day she rolled the car, passanger thrown out into oncoming traffic (but lived)! This is one thing I belive is more coincidence, because the driver was a bad driver (meaning it was only time, just happened to hit the nail that day).

There is also very strange events when I meet a new person. Somehow I can read a person extremely well, to the point where all my other friends trust my opinion when I say whether a new person is alright or not. It's so bad that I claim to have a sixth sense about people. I don't really have to talk to anyone, all I have to do is watch them for a few moments. A few times I have been proven right about the people I've warned against and they have done something stupid or really bad.

The last episode I had was just last night, and this is the one that really got me thinking to find someone who might know something about this. Alot of my good memories and all I have associated with smell, as do most people. I think smell is the strongest sense tied to memory or something, can't remember exact study. Not important. Anyways, I haven't seen my great great grandpa for about 7 or 8 years now. I talk to him occasionally on the phone. A few weeks ago, my mom talked to him and he said he might have lung cancer.

Last night I was sitting in my chair, and I smelled him. He has a very unique, good country smell that I have never smelled in my house or in my area before and I immediatly mentioned it to my mom. She thought it was weird and she almost seemed shook up by it. Anyways, my mom calls him today and turns out noone could get ahold of her last night, my gg grandpa ended up going to the hospital with breathing problems and doctors had to remove a part of his lung. Strangely, I didn't know why I smelled him last night, it just felt like he was in my house passing by and I knew it wasn't good (my mom knew too). He didn't die, but a machine is breathing for him and they have to see how he does. He is still in ICU and we don't know if he will recover or not.

Is there any science / phenomenon that I am describing that people have or talk about often? It really doesn't worry me, but I would like to know if this is some sort of gift that I am just not able to get ahold of right or if there is a specific term to call it so I can find others to talk about this with. At times it really creeps me out, but other times I would really like to be able to use it better if there is some crazy metaphysical thing going on.

One last thing to help describe it. I can often think of a long ago friend that I haven't seen for awhile in dreams or just randomly popping up, and they show up in town visiting. This has only happened about twice so far, but enough to catch my attention. Thanks guys, hopefully someone out there has similar experiences.

What you describe is similar to the "conincidences" I began noticing with myself a long time ago. What I can tell you is that I don't fully know or understand how these things work or why they occur. Both my husband and myself have puzzled over this for some time. He believes that some of my "reading people" has to do with my highly developed sense of smell and touch, that I can pick up extra clues about a person through the senses because of it. For a while we were both satisfied with this explanation until I began to see and speak on things pertaining to people on the internet. I am neither smelling nor touching these people, yet I have been fairly accurate in giving cold readings this way. So now we are trying to sort it out from scratch. grin2.gif

What I can tell you is that you should listen to your intuitive side because it is usually not going to steer you wrong. Every single time I have ignored similar portents that you describe, I have suffered mightily for it. Don't smother it, but rather open yourself more so that you grow with it. In time, it will become a part of you. No, you aren't crazy. Yes, there are other folks that happens to.

For example, this past summer: I had a strong intuition to call my uncle. I began speaking with him about life changes and how one incident can alter the others. I said that change was coming, that in the vaccumn of this change he would be able to make changes to the way he lived that would benefit himself and his family because he'd been unhappy for a long time. I told him to be prepared.

I spoke with my grandmother about an hour after that and told her that my uncle's MIL was going to pass away. She passed the next morning at about 4am. He called me afterwards telling me that my timing with that talk was "uncanny." After he spoke with my grandmother and heard what I told her about his MIL before it happened, he called back and began asking me about abilities because my grandmother has similiar attributes. Specifically he wanted to know if my fellowshipping with the Buddhists had improved them; my uncle has had dreams come true before, so it was an interesting conversation.

Now anyone else can say that all of these things I've said above are coincidence, but I know they aren't. When I am compelled to speak like that, it is because some imminent thing is approaching. There have been a multitude of incidents like this throughout my life.

But the most important thing I have learned is that it doesn't work when you doubt yourself. You are more likely to be wrong when you do not believe in yourself (and that applies to all areas of life). Secondly, you can turn it "off." I managed to do this for a period of a year. I became frustrated with myself and said that I wasn't going to live my life in that manner anymore, helping others through what I know. I said I was going to be "normal." That following year was the most hellish year I've ever experienced. And I've no intention of going back to that state again. I have learned my lesson: whatever gifts you have must be utilized for the benefit of others or else you will never be fully fulfilled.

So that's what I will impart to you because I was compelled to do so.

Blessings on your path and may the sun always shine on you.

In all seriousness, why?

When I write it out like that, it "sounds" hostile or challenging, largely because it doesn't sound at all. The reader supplies a "tone of voice."

So, please supply a tone of voice that goes with someone who accepts the truth of every factual assertion you made, and who is just trying to understand what you think is going on that exceeds coincidence and which can elicit strong feelings on your part.

Popular movies sometimes have predictable plots. I didn't catch what was so unusual when you talk to your girlfirend, but bad drivers often do get into car accidents. You can size up new people better or faster than others can. If you've gained a reputation for accuracy, then I gather that these new people must reveal their characters to others soon enough.

You thought about an old man (great great grandparent) whom you love and knew to be sick. You didn't predict anything concrete, e.g. that he was in the hospital, you just thought about him, and in thinking about him vividly recalled his scent. And twice you thought of old friends who later came visiting.

This sounds like everyday life to me. It really does.

So, obviously there is something that I am not getting. Please help me to understand your strong feeling about these things.

This exact thing happens to me quite alot. Randomly ill think about a friend i havent seen, talk to or even thought about in ages and later that day they call me up or come around my house. It gets pretty wierd sometimes, it's good to know I'm not the only person it happens to.

I would say that the more any of us work with these insights the better we get at sensing what is around us.

We as a culture have yet to learn how interconnected we all are with each other and everything else.

llynx
The part about looking at people for a few moments and knowing how they are feeling and reading them.

It's more common than you think, I get the same thing too. I believe is more of a feeling of interconnection and ability to judge people simply by their looks and actions.

I don't know about you, but when I do that, its like I don't think at all. Something inside of me does all of these calculations and thoughts and opinions really really quickly and outputs it into my mind.
Like instinct or intuition. Its as if I compile everything I see and feel and created a logical output which is quite often correct.
I don't know if you observe their behavior or you just get that 'feeling' like I do. Meh, it doesn't matter. I don't have any opinions with the other stuff you mentioned except for John A Spera's mention of interconnection as a culture.

Good luck.

I have had similar occurences, which i posted about 6 months ago in a thread. I have this instinct....it is always right, yet i always feel like it is wrong, so i ignore it.

I was day dreaming in study hall, and i got a vision of my best friend's dad getting struck by lightening. I shook it off, because lightening strikes are SUPER rare. Well one week later, my mom came home in tears , and told me that my best friends dad had died from a lightening strike.

I also had a little occurance too, I used to be in a confirmation class at a Lutheran Church. Now I'm athiest, and my parents wanted me to go . They forced me. So I hated my pastor (you know, how you used to get mad at ppl for no reason when you were in junior hight), and I hoped for him to break his ankle. The next night, the night before my confirmation class, my pastor called the house to tell me that he had slipped on ice and broken his ankle.

Now i have never told anyone these occurances, except for my cousin. I haven't even told my own twin brother. I don't feel safe with him knowing....

So i totally feel for anyone who has had these experiences., they cannot be just coincidence.

The only thing that looks similar and that I do a lot is saying the same stuff as someone else next to me and on the tv, as well as reading a word at the same time as it is said on the tv.

Every person is a physical form for their unique energy expression. All energy has awareness that it is connected to all the energy that is. We as a culture are not taught that what affects a person on the other side of this world, also happens in our subconscious and is experienced by us in a very real physical way.

That's exactly what it is like, and deja vu is another thing I get all too often.


@ Eight Bits
I'm sure alot would seem like natural instinct (with the bad driver), but what makes it odd to me is I don't usually just think of things like friends showing up and other things like this. When I do, it happens.

To recall one more time that I really don't think can be passed off as coincidence, I was trying to nap in the van while my dad was driving. I woke and told him I think we were going to get hit. As soon as I said that I felt a small push on the van where a car behind had hit the trailer we were towing. She didn't hit hard, just wasn't paying attention in traffic and bumped us.

There has been so much more to have happened that I am starting to believe there is some strange interconnection of the minds or the mind gives off some strage signal.

i'd say...
you have some sensitivity.....
your case just as same as my case.....
when you met people, you can describe their hobbies and pesonality...
right??
and to tell the future event....
it's just normal for a physic....

Hi, killswitch.

Thanks for answering.

You were there, and I wasn't. So, if it feels odd to you, then go with it.

I hope everything works out OK for you.

My aunt once told me this story about 2 twin girls she and my mom knew, one of the twins was at home with my mom and my aunt and other friends, her sister had gone somewhere and was coming back home. While crossing the street, the other twin got hit by a car and before the twin that was at home even saw her, she started screaming in pain like crazy, they also heard the car some of them went to the window and noticed it was the other twin who had been hit. Really interesting IMHO.

Do you even know what cold readings are?

Just typing this feels like boasting to me, since im not used, nor much a beliver of paranormal things. I am more of a person who wants to belive.
I've several times gotten the sense of things, thinking about a movie, predicting the plot just like Killswitch described.
Also, the thing STIRyourMIND talked about, thinking bout a friend you havnt seen in a long time, and that person just pops up.
I've only seen it as coincidences since it don't happen on a regular basis. However, after reading your thread I like to share.
The142
ok please share your expriences and if yours is coincidences how you know other people is not coincidences. how you know if theirs is true or false how you know other people so well if you claims this as coincidences.
Niffur
Im not saying anything about their experienceses, I just said i've concluded mine as.

imo, we have "recievers" in our bodies that pick up all kinds of frequencies and translate them and also emit them
like braces have been known to play the radio, I think parts of our bodies can pick up others thoughts/emotions/frequencies/intents/presences/etc...
just like regular ones, some recievers are better than others, some translate the signals wrong, some are just broke, etc...
akashic records/collective conciousness floating around like a bunch of radio signals tune in
maybe?

Edit: oh ya, and it's not limited by time or space, but they have influence tongue.gif

Hi,

After reading some of your posts I thought I may mention a Psychic that I came across the other week, she was really accurate about stuff. SHe might be able to help you out.

Yes, I have had that happen too. One day however, I had someone tell me that they were going to phone me at work (for some obscure reason) - now I really didn't want to speak to this person. Well, that day I went to work, no phone call - in fact for the following week they never got in touch - I didn't mind I was happy that they hadn't phoned. The really weird thing was, I met them face-to-face a week later and it transpired that they had, indeed, tried to phone me, but the phone appeared to be an unavailable number! It was the correct number and the number they were calling was my work one which was a large Accountants practice, the phone number had never been unavailable and was taking incoming calls throughout the week.

Looking at it from a positive viewpoint, it is handy, if I don't want to talk to them, it appears I become unavailable laugh.gif
