Sharing Our Experiences

I know what you mean when you say that you want to find other people who are acually sincere about these things. I have been in a similiar place as you. I'm still confused, of course, on some of my gifts but I understand more. First of all, I'm really intune to energy. I can see it, feel it, and see auras. I have been blessed as to have a few people I can talk to about what I expierience. I don't think your mom is bad for feeling the way she seems to feel about the situation, because people are often closed off about anything related to death or things we can't easily understand. I think that you have a special gift and should keep on trying to learn and understand it. If you don't like the dreams or situations they put you in, I believe you have the power to make them go away. Some times just thinking of peaceful things helps, mediating, or praying. I'm not sure what you believe in exactly, but when I am troubled with something like that, I pray to God, Jesus, and Archangel Michael to keep me safe and only let positive things near me. When I was very young I suffered from very painful headaches because of all the energy my eyes had to strain to see, but when I prayed to only let myself see things I am ready to see and relaxed they began to go away and get better. I wish you the best, and I hope you can find people who are open about your gift. Good luck.

I don't know what advice I can give you but I can share my personal experiences. I am 34 years old and I have had psychic dreams for as long as I can remember. I am an English teacher. I also have a degree in History. I am currently working on a degree in counseling.

My experiences are mostly dreaming. I dream things and they come true. It usually takes about 2-5 years for them to come true. My first experience was with my father. I remember, vaguely, watching him walk out of the door and knowing that he would die. I was 2. I don't remember if I had dreamt his death or if I just knew. I thought, for a long time, that I had somehow caused his death by somehow knowing what was going to happen before it did. I've had more experiences. When I was 13, I had a very vivid psychic dream that stayed with me and convinced me that what I was experiencing was real and it was psychic. I dreamt about a party. There was a group of people I knew from high school. One of them suggested that a boy dance with me and vehemently refused. It hurt my feelings. About a year later, the dream came true only it wasn't me who it was about. It was another girl. I had had her experience.

When I was 18, I had a dream I died and went to heaven. I can remember clearly the overwhelming love and bright lights. A year later my brother died tragically and I realized I had had his experience.

Fortunately, my family are pretty open minded. We've always discussed our dreams together. However, I don't always tell them everything because they aren't often able to give me advice or guidance. I get tired of sounding like a broken record; "I dreamt this before."

Most recently I had a dream about a professor of mine. This was a few years ago. I dreamt about her life. I saw her thoughts about her husband, a friend, her newborn baby, and even myself, among others. They weren't nice thoughts. I also saw the future as to what would happen to her - suicide attempt, delusions. I also saw what would happen to me. It's been 4 years later and many of things I saw have come true. However, I go back and forth between questioning what I have seen and know, thinking I am insane, and having faith in my dreams and visions. I feel like I am on a yo-yo. Currently, I am going through a period of doubting what I've seen. It's very confusing.

What I have found to help is pretty much Anne has suggested. Read plenty of books. Speak to as many people as you can who have had similar experiences. Research chakras, auras, meditation, etc. Keep an open mind. Good luck!

Anne,

Thank you so very much for your kind words. You can not imagine what this means to me. I want to learn to understand, and understand the meaning. Again, thank you so much for the warm welcome...

What you're experiencing is actually common to the human condition (why wouldn't souls sense other souls?) but since society, by and large, is still living in the spiritual dark ages hardly anyone talks about it. I can't count the people who come to this site that dare not speak of this to their friends and unfortunately, not even their family. They are told it's their imagination or worse, some sinful ability they should run from and wash themselves of. Of course you feel alone! Your own mother wouldn't even acknowledge your ability. So here you are, going through life with unexplained phenomenon that should be as talked about and open as eating and drinking.

The good news is that we now have the internet! I'm older than you so am all too familiar with the hush hush of family and friends about this topic, but that changed with the internet. We can now openly share stories and experiences and get the support we've longed for. That's why I created this webpage (and many others) like it. It is also my sincere hope that so many of the young adults that come here, can open their minds and not repeat this fear pattern with their own children, when that time comes.

You are okay and normal. You are a spirit experiencing this life in a physical shell. When you yourself pass on, you'll be just like these other spirits that once too held physical form. And like humans living today, some are negative and some are positive. I like to remind people that we don't stop being who we are simply when we shed our shell.

Coping with this is first allowing yourself to acknowledge that you can perceive outside of the normal senses and that you're okay and normal. That's a start. Then, do some research. Read some books by Robert Monroe, some mediums like the ones in the psychic article section (http://www.psychic-experiences.com/famous-psychics/). Knowledge is power. The more we have the more we're equipped to move forward with ourselves. Ignorance is darkness and stagnation. You have access to the kinds of information not heard of 30 years ago. Tap into it. Consider expanding your own abilities. Research chakras, the aura, meditation, kundalini, etc. It's all out there. Hopefully you can put aside the passive observer and become more the participant in your own spiritual evolution.

You are certainly welcome here.
Anne
