i think ive experienced empathy, i mean i had this great feeling of sadness comming from my chem teacher then i had a dream ith him trying to climb this metal frame and the kept falling an hurtin himself gettin cuts an brusies the feelin went away after a wk, the other day i learnt than a bout a wk ago his mother died. is this empathy? ive never had anythin like this before

wierd but wot do you suppose the ladder meant?

maybe he's tryin to get himself up again, recover from summin but he can't o i forgot to metion i gave him hug, after he tried again an again to get up that climbin frame. im not sure what the hug ment, cause he's a gd teacher but not like good lookin or anything. The hug was just a friendly one. hmm any ideas?
i was comforting him so maybe its a sign tellin i should try increasin my healin powers? is there such thing? i mean i do like helpin ppl an i wanna be a doctor...

You are reading his emotions...yup its empathy. But they are emotions. If you want to help him, you have to confront him and actually help him. Nothings going to happen if you don't ask him questions.

Be like someone who is there for him by confronting him and asking questions, being concerned. If he know you are doing this to him, he will feel better. If he does have a problem in life, tell him how to confront it and heal it.

Then your dream might just change...

we'll he's my teacher an itll be very awkward if i try an ask him questions, and he's very emotionally closed. anyway these sad feelins i got from him are gone so mabey he's ok now. thanx for replies, jus wanted to make sure it was wat i thought it was empathy.

I've also started to develop empathy quite recently.

A way of healing that works quite well is to bring up energy through your legs, into your heart, then out your arms to wherever you want it to go.

How come sadness and aggression are the easiest emotions to detect? Why can't I see all the happy people (I do see a few, but not many. It's deppressing)?

I think it's because it's so negative, that we pay more attention to it.

Like if you went into a group of happy people, would you realize, "Hey.. They're all happy"

or would you realise "Hey.. They're all sad" if you went into a group of sad people.

It's more normal for people to be happy, than it is for people to be sad. So naturally since sadness is not normal for us, we pick it up because it's a different emotion.

Ahh nevermind, thats just what I think...

mmm Sya is right its negative so it draws attention

but just keep an eye on him for a bit Alias coz people can close their emotions off from empaths if they are stronger then the empath or just determined to move on.

Something like this recently happened today, I was going to the mall with my dad and everything, then i became sad all of a sudden, I knew it wasnt anyone in the car, but then i was asking myself who could it be, and I thought of a very close friend of mine, but I still have to ask her if she was sad today.

As stupid as it may sound I kinda wanna learn empathy.
Where can I get sum techs for it?

i just realised maybe i healed him in my dream, do u think thats possible? with the hug? imagine that healin ppl thro dreams.
PP there r laods of topics with emapthy techs look round

i agree with sya with the pickin up of neg emotions

If you stop getting dreams of a depressed teacher falling off a ladder, then he is probably healed. But to find out is to see him in person and see if he's okay.

If he is still depressed, you probably just had a dream of feeling bad for him.

If he is depressed no more, than your hug healed him and......empathy?

depressed teacher falllin of ladder..lol. but he's a kwl tech, the type that jokes around an stuff. if i tried to go u to him ask if he's okay cause i think hes sad. ill burst out laughin in his face. lol. but im positively sure he's moved havnt been gettin neg feelins for a wk. thnx ne way
i hav a physics test moro an its 10, an this site is v. addictive. anyhow bye goin now i think.

Maybe if you get in touch with your teachers mind, you both can learn the ability of Telepathy, were two people communicate through their minds.

it is possibel to heal with dreams i supppose as our subconcious minds are powerful things try with other people if possible but unless its major i recommend getting permission first

You can learn but there is a price that goes along with any gift you have. There are people you will be able to help but there also will be people you cannot help. Free will decides this not us empaths. When you know that your own sister will lose her leg before the doctors do that tends to make you want nothing to do with your gift. I am not trying to discourage you but just know that there is a price.
