Apparantly I have this ability to "call" things correctly (ex: I saw a stranger in the mall the other day and for some unknown reason, I looked at her questioningly so she slowed and looked back at me. I asked her "Are you Donna?" and she said "Yes" and also said her last name. The name she gave me was that of a good friend I haven't seen in years, but this was NOT her, she just had the same name. I had not even thought of my old friend in years. I even asked her if she was a nurse, etc. and the answer was no...I didn't know her from ANYWHERE). This kind of thing happens alot, in many ways, not just with people. Another thing I do is, for example I will be at the grocery store, I see something I don't usually buy, I buy it for some reason but don't think anything about it. I go home, a family member requests a certain food they've never asked for before, and you guessed it, that's the thing I bought.
This one always blows me away: I will wake up at some odd hour during the night (wide awake, but not upset or anything), I get up and turn on TV or something and within about 5 minutes, my son walks in the door from work or from being out, etc. He rarely comes home at the same time any two nights in a row. It doesn't surprise him anymore; he just smiles and says Hi Mom. I have dreamed scenes in a book that a friend was reading; I have called a new aquaintance by their other (middle) name that I didn't know; oh just lots of incidences, varied and not connected. I usually have a "feeling" as this is happening, but I can't describe it. It is so frustrating though because I never know when it will happen and I have no control over it whatsoever....seems like if I could control it, I could use it to some good. Anyone have any advice or know a good source to develop this further? I am not afraid of it.

I am told to be clairvoyant. I see 'spirits' or whatever, and I always know the twists in movies.
I wake up just before someone rings for me or looks for me.
I don't know if this is clairvoyant but a few times someone asks a question of a mate and I open my mouth, but stop myself, and my mate says the EXACT words I was going to say....
Other stuff too... and I would like too now how this can be channeled and strengthened.
Thanx.

Hey Jedi Girl--Thanks for your reply! I think perhaps you and I both have elements of clairvoyance with a litle precognition thrown in too. I also deja vu quite a bit, but I think most people do this. I think deja vu is some normal "flip" of the mind and not really a form of ESP. From what little I understand about it, everyone has some level of ESP, some more than others. My experiences have been small I know, but it is very exciting to me because I know it is unusual, not something that most people do very naturally.
To me, when these things happen, I feel a surge of certainty and eagerness to catch it and see if I can take it any further. But it just does what it does as if I could just be anybody....I think I mean that it is so fleeting, I don't feel that I had any control over it. It just comes and goes. I just would like to be able to do it at will. It feels to me like I felt when I was little and first starting to play the piano...I was eager to get better at it because I could feel the talent inside and wanted so much to see what my potential was. With music, you can go to a teacher every week and be guided to bigger, more complicated things through someone else's experience.When these psychic things happen, it is sorta like that feeling of knowing you have a musical talent; like I just know I could do something bigger if only I could master it enough to learn more and be able to practice.
What we need, my Aussie friend, is for some of these folks with more experience to tell us what to do FIRST. Where do you find excerciese for development of psychic abilities?

Hi guys,
Just to clear away the technicalities, neither of you have described any clairvoyant ability. Clairvoyance means "clear vision", and it involves receiving mental pictures of a future event. What both of you have described is simply precognition, which means you just know something's gonna happen before it does.

ScarlettPony, what you describe with your son could be a form of telepathy, or maybe just a general emotional link to your son so you know that he's safe, and when to expect him home. It's a pretty common thing to have a special bond between people you love, particularly for a mother with her children. I know that "feeling" you're talking about it, and it is weird - all of a sudden you just know some random thing to be true, without knowing where the knowledge came from or how you know it's true. I don't know about you, but it still gets me every time something I know to be true comes true. I just love it. I don't have any advice to make it stronger, sorry. It seems to be purely subconscious. However, I recommend that you pay more attention to your dreams and to seemingly random lines of thinking, as they often lead you to one of these precog tidbits. I'm glad you're not afraid of it - there's no reason you should be. Just keep in mind that just because you predict it doesn't mean you're responsible to change it, even if it's something bad. We've had this discussion here many times, and people always agree that if you predict something bad to happen, it's just to prepare you for what's to come. I suggest you read the "I need help" thread, if you're interested in reading more about this. Good luck!

pagan, I don't know much about seeing spirits, since I mostly just come to the metaphysics forum. Your experiences with almost saying the thing your mate was going to say could also be telepathy, or just coincidence. How random were the answers to these questions? Read in the above paragraph for my thoughts on strengthening this, if interested.

hey gufzoo when you say mental pictures do you mean you recieve them a concious level of unconcious beacause i do often have dream wich are completly act days weeks or even months in advance but the thing is i dont rember them at all until i see a certain thing like an object or what ever it can even be something someone says and after i see this trigger i rember every thing that was in my dream and it more or less happens the exact same way

Hey fadinginnocence,
You can receive these mental pictures consciously while awake, and also unconsciously while you're sleeping. Psychic dreams can be a form of clairvoyance. Yeah, I've had the trigger thing happen too. To help you remember your dreams, I suggest you keep a dream journal on your nightstand. As soon as you wake up, write down everything you remember from your dream. Add to it as the day goes on. It really helps a lot - back a couple years ago when I kept a dream journal, I remembered more of my dreams than I ever had before. Hmm, maybe I should take my own advice...

Thanks gufzoo ill try it but i have a question for you when you have the triggers do you ever realzie that it is someting you see often but for some reason you only react at a certain time ie one time i was triggerd by a drawing of a heart that my friend had done in highlighter but it was at night the strange thing was that earlier that day i had sat there and watched her draw it and never noticed anything familiar about it

I personally wouldn't attach too much meaning to that. A lot of triggering has to do with not only feeling connections, but understanding connections as well. Your subconscious mind is constantly processing things without you even being aware of it. You're only aware of it when it surfaces to your conscious mind. So maybe the trigger didn't go off while you were watching your friend draw the heart because you hadn't properly made and understood the connections to your dream (I assume this is related to a dream?) yet. As time went on, and your subconscious got busy processing the data, the connections finally got made and it finally surfaced later on. I hope this makes sense...

I was told seeing spirirts was clairvoyant.
That's why I replied.
My 'seeing' and 'feeling' is weird.... can any help?

o and guffy, Someone asks like, "Can I se your phone?" And I thinks, "Sure... but it's not that good." Then my mate says it, exactly.

I do scrying, and I can see auras if I concentrate.

I get feelings about things too, if somethings gunna go wrong I get nervous.
If somone is bad, I get a feeling.

I can sense when someone is looking or following me.

I now it sounds like I think I am all powerful, but I don't. All of these areb't developed.
Bless

Hi Guffy--It has taken me forever to reply, so I hope you see this! Thank you very much for your reply--I see the difference in what I do and clairvoyance. I think my son and I are telepathic with each other, as I am with my sister and, to a lesser degree, with my father. And when I spend alot of time with any of my friends, I get telepathic with them too, like dreaming a scene from my friend's book she was reading. I think this is sorta normal for alot of people, except maybe the dreaming part is a little stronger connection than most people have. It is really strong with my son, though, probably for the reasons you said. I don't think I am clairvoyant after reading your response--I don't see pictures of the future, I don't think. I do see "pictures" against a solid background though, or against a white background (well, I gues white is solid too, huh? ha). It is usually just of one thing though, but sometimes it "morphs" from one image to another. Once I saw a baby's face, in profile; the back part of the profile was disproportionately small sorta like a caricature of a baby with a normal size face but a really small head (I thought). It just looked kinda like a cartoon and I didn't give it another thought, then we admitted a baby in the nursery a couple of weeks later that was profoundly microcephalic. Same small-size head as the baby I saw against the blue background. Another time I saw what looked like a lumberjack, with a cap , beard, ax, then 1 week later I purchased some land and you guessed it, the man who bought 10 acres next to my 20 looked just like this when I met him. He was cutting branches off a tree. At times, when I close my eyes, I do see pictures against my closed eyelids of things I am not familiar with, but I always forget to notice if I see them in the next few days or whatevert. But these are not events, just images. I am probably not experiencing anything truly extrordinary, except maybe that it happens with such a high degree of frequency . thanks again for your help. I haven't written my dreams, usually I have to get up quick and get ready for work! But I do dream really wierd things, have alot of great nightmares. I coulda written a book of short stories by now!! I dream in color and sometimes I fly in my dreams. It is huge fun. Well, thanks for your help!

Hello. scarletpony, i read some of the other posts, and i have been thinking that maybe u can help me. since the end of 6th grade (im in 8th grade now), i have been seeing my friends in pain. it all started when my mom passed a sixth car pile-up on I-95 and i could have sworn I saw teh older version of one of my friends sitting in teh front seat of one of the vehicles. however, when i blinked an looked again, she wasn't there. and it's becoming worse. I'm seeing some of my best friends in pain, and I can't stand it! one of my best friends in school was being raped (no names, just in case), and the same person in a train crash. Even more, i'm beginning to kind of go inside their bodies and 'feel' what their emotions are at the same time. not too long ago, i saw my best friend (female) being forced into rape by someone with a knife over her. then, i saw soemone push aside him before he could get started (or finish up) on her, though, as much as i try, i can't seem to remember their faces except for my friend's. all i remember is that i was shocked when i saw the guy who pushed the other one off of her's face. My friend, in question, is one of the only people that i have told in my life, and that does not include my parents. another tiem i saw the same 'sight' as we call them except in her eyes, and i could feel her emotions so strongly it was like i was the one being raped. she was scared to death, and i could feel that she knew she was going to die and that ther life is going to end and she had an 'oh, god why does this have to happen to me?' feeling. Then, she was relieved when the guys pushed the other one off of her, and then she either blacked out or the 'sight' ended. In question, she looked like she was in high school, and i did not see any part of her body.

it's scaring me, though. I can't control it. i cant' just make a 'sight' appear when i feel like it. i'm also afraid that one of these days i am going to see one of them dying, and that will traumatize me so much i could commit suicide. that's how destructive these sights are, and how much i try to shun them.

it only happens to my friends. i have never had a sight of myself or my family, for that matter. and it's only with the people i care for most. I just cant' take it anymore. I hate seeing them in pain. i want it to stop, but i know what would happen if it didn't.

my friend who i saw and i talked to each other aobut it one night on the phone when we both made sure no one was listening. she saya taht this 'power' of mine is not a curse, but a blessing. she told me about this paradox that says that i could have been the one pulling that guys off of her, and i oculd have been there becasue i saw what was happening right now. If not... well... let's just say that she wouldn't live to see college.

scarletpony, i need help learning to control this. the only thing that i can control is a very limited short-range 'power' in which i can read my friend's (yes, only my friends before you ask that question ;-) ) minds and see what they're going to do in the next 5 minutes. however, this greatly reduces my mental as well as physical strength and i often feel extremely hungry or thirsty after 3 or so uses. and it's not very strong, so its extremely hard to focus on it.

i just need your help or someone's help. whoever reads this forums and has similar experiences (and i know that at least 3 of you who do use it have those.), please help me. i just can't stand seeing my friends in pain, and i care deeply for them, especially the one who i saw get raped. i just need help controling this, for my friend's sake and my own sake. the two who i've told both say that they're worried about me as much as i'm worried about them, and if that's true, then i need help. please. if anyone can just please help me, i would greatly appreciate it. i just know that if i tell the wrong person, i'm gonna end up in some laboratory iwth these scientists running tests on me and never letting me see the light of day again.

please! i need your help.

if you can help me in anyway, i am eternally grateful.

Hello and welcome,
I understand that you're very scared about these visions, and that they seem very real to you. I don't blame you - they'd freak me out as well. But before we go into how to deal with this, I need to ask if any of your visions have ever actually come true? I personally wouldn't stress out over this anymore until some of the visions start coming true. Maybe you have some type of anxiety disorder. Or an over-active imagination. I'm not trying to belittle your experience, just explore all options before going any deeper into this.

actually, they are coming true. the girl who got in the wreck got in a six-car pile up on I-95. and its very real. i see it in my mind and sometimes it looks real. but i don't know. please, if u can do anything, help me. they are coming true. i jsut know it. some are, but most have to do with high school (i'm in 8th grade).

please hlep

i would be eternally grateful

DaKong

I'm confused... you said in the first post that the six-car pile-up was just a vision. Then in your second one you say it was real. So which was it?

Hon, just because you see it in your mind does not make it real. I'd hold off on the drama until you have a vision that actually comes true. Not saying they won't because who really knows, but I'm speaking from experience here. I've had plenty of visions and gut feelings that have come true, but also just as many "feelings" that were actually me just trying to make come true that didn't. It's hard to distinguish the two often til after the fact, because sometimes your mind just catches onto an idea and starts obsessing about it until you're just sure it's gonna happen. And then it doesn't.

My advice is to try to stay calm and suppress these feelings until you're sure they're real.

Ah, where do I begin?

Well, I was in my car when Mom passed a six-car pile-up on I-95. That's when I saw my friend sitting in the front seat of one of the badly-damaged cars. When I se these things, it is either inside my mind and jsut pops up outta the blue, or it looks as if it's really happening right tere and then. That is how it looked with my friend.

I know this has happened because my friend got in a 6-car pile up on I-95. She was sitting in the front seat, and this was two years later, which explains why she looked older at the end of 6th grade.

I know this is true. I just know it's happening. I am sorry if I seem irrational, but don't you people get it?! It's not about if it happens or not. It's if it does happen, and that's why I need help! What if I see somethign that really will happen? Like when I saw my best friend getting raped? I could never put her in harm's way. I like her more then a friend (though...not...like...that...), and I want to make sure she's all right. What if she does get raped, like in my sight, and I'm not there to stop it? What if she dies? I'll be crushed for the rest of my life! If I see one of my friends dying, and then it comes true, what then will my life be worth? I don't care if some are true and some aren't! What matters is if it does happen and I'm not there to save her or any of my friends! I just have to learn to control this before something really happens!

It's just... I'm not crazy. That's why I am afraid to tell anyone. Everyone wil believe I'm a freak, even though I am no freak. I have to learn to control this! My life will not be worth anything if one of my closest friends die in a vision, and then it somes true because I wasn't there to save her! If you see me now, I have scars all over my arms because of trying to let the pain out! People call me a masochist because of this, and I know I can't tell them becasue the truth is unbearable!

I just can't let anything happen. I jsut don't want my friends to get hurt. I care for them so much you wouldn't believe it. And if a vision does come true, then who knows what will happen? Please, hlep me!!!

Hi Dakong--

This is Pony; nice to meet you! From what you are saying, your gift is much bigger than any psychic ability that I have. And I don't know nearly enough to help you with yours--Gufzoo does though, just going by the responses posted.
I am told, however, that just because you see something in your mind or like a picture, or even if it seems to be happening in front of you (except that you do recognize it as a vision), it doesn't mean that you can prevent it. It doesn't mean that you caused it--quite the opposite; you know as a reasonable young man that you can't make things happen just by seeing it psychically. It is just information; you are not able to fix everything--you may not even be able to fix ANYTHING and you will be desperately unhappy if you continue to feel such huge responsibility for the possible events of the future. You can get a handle on one thing though. And that is your own feelings--but this is going to take a while and alot of thought and help from people who are educated to help other people who are as sensitive as you are. I do understand being this way; my heart has hurt so much for others sometimes that I have been very effected by it. For example, when the World Trade Centers bombings happened on 9/11/01, all I could think about was those people in there and what was ahead for this country. I have 4 sons, who were ALL FOUR within draft age and I knew this war would be a long one. I am not willing to lose my sons to war. It wasw a pain I couldn't bear. So, I went to the doctor when the feelings wouldn't pass. He was able to help me and I began to be more able to put things in perspective. That is a task that is very difficult to do; but you must try. I am very concerned about the scars on your arms from letting the pain out. PLEASE talk to your mom or dad, or a school counselor or a teacher that you feel you can talk to honestly. This is bigger than you and you need some help with these feelings. sweetheart.
PLEASE ask someone you know in real life to help you begin your journey to healing these fears--it is much more vital than any danger your friends may be in later down the road. We all make choices that determine whether we will be likely to be in a dangerous situation or not; even though some things we just cannot stop/like accidents. And NO ONE can stop these events.
You are a wonderful, caring young man and your life and your body are changing now very quickly. And as you mature, your body's hormones will confuse you and make you feel things you never dreamed. This can be good and bad, but we all go through it.
There is plenty of time to find out about your psychic abilities; right now though, talk to someone about the way you have let your pain out. It could be a matter of life and death. And if you die, then you will just be gone and your family will suffer more than you can possibly imagine. And 10 years down the road, you will still be dead.
Please let us know when you talk to an adult about this. Pick someone who is very stable in their life and makes sense to you.

Love,
ScarlettPony

Thanks, scarlett. Actually, I have told the girl who I saw getting... well... ever since you-know-what, I've gotten very jittery around the word 'rape,' well anyways I told her and she's helping me through it. I don't know how to tell my mom, since she repeatedly doesn't believe me.... I don't have a dad... (sperm donor)... but the two friends that I told are helping me through it and encouraging me along the way. Heh, I geuss that's what friends are for....
Thanks so much for your help, scarlett. If you can help some more in any way, please let me know. Your words were encouraging and made me feel a bit better aobut myself, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Who knows? Maybe soon I'll be able to control this, although I read on some other site that clairvoyancy is the hardest 'power' to control.... well, bye!!!

Thanks again!!!
