I had a dream that I went downstairs to the kitchen for a glass of water and on the table were two white cats that I knew were my sister's kittens (in waking life, her cat had four kittens -- two black, two ginger.) I wondered a bit how they grew big so fast and weren't they differently colored...? but shrugged it off, went back to my room, woke up, and later told my mom about it. She asked me what personal significance the color white had, and I said death. A couple weeks later, two of my sister's kittens died... when I blurted out that my dream was precognitive after all, my sister whined that I should have warned her it was going to happen, but I said that mom said it was just Freudian brain vomit (my mom said not to blame her because we never had the conversation about that dream, and it's always hard to tell if she really forgets something or just wants off the hook.)

That said, my family's relatively supportive... they share a belief that the paranormal and spiritual exist at all, for example, and have involved some other people -- psychics and dream-psychologists -- to talk me through it. But, I can't help thinking that they'll only support my sensitivity if it's cool, amusing, or they want to vicariously overcompensate for powerlessness and insignificance in real life -- I know the latter's my primary reason for taking up independent psionics training, but they discourage training because I ought to let it develop naturally. It's the same with singing and mathematics -- either you're born with that skill fully developed, or you're not and shouldn't even try, so it's not a psychic-specific negative reaction... actually, it's usually helped me to assume that no really negative reaction is completely because of something I did... Old Soul, I think it's just that not a lot of us really understand how the world works that includes precognition and especially what it implies about free will (kind of like what a round world implies about gravity,) "The Carpet People" by Terry Pratchett is my favorite (fantasy) novel about this seeming opposition.

Well, anyway, I'm on a psychic shutdown this month. It's for me-- the training took a turn for the scary, and while that also meant "educational" it ended up meaning "draining and need a break," and I didn't know you could take a break but tried anyway... and so far walking in a material causality paradigm has been extraordinarily refreshing.
