Have you been psychic all your life?
 

Greetings all. I just signed up today after lurking for a little while. I think it's about time we had a psychic introduction thread. This will be a place for people to share their past experiences and/or the paranormal happenings throughout their life. I'll go first.


Ah, the night terrors. Of course, this is a misnomer for what really happened. I remember exactly what was chasing me, and I was wide awake. Being a young child I had various episodes of sleepwalking and running and screaming throughout the house. One of these continues to stand out from all the rest.

One night I awoke to find a tall and terrible shadowy figure standing at the edge of my bed. It immediately filled me with dread, and even at that young age I knew it's purpose. It was there for me. I shot up and ran down the hallway screaming and waking up my brother from his adjacent room. I bolted back to him (tracing my steps) and told him that it was trying to get me. Well, it seemed to have taken off and I ended up sleeping on his floor. The next occurrence of this I decided to fight back. When I awoke to the same malevolent presence I shut my eyes and visualised a white nova of light emanating from my body. It poured into every crevice of the room and I visualised the figure vaporising. Everytime I had the slightest notion of something being in the room with me, I repeated the exercise. Needless to say, everything stopped visiting me- good or bad.

Fast forward a good ten years (at least) and I find myself discovering some interesting things about my history. I had predicted things before arriving in Kindergarten that have recently come true. I have come to find that the white light technique that I used is similar to those taught by many for psychic defense, and I knew it instinctively. I remember all the times I've voiced the thoughts of other people, despite not having any knowledge in the subject. Oh, and how could I forget being the age of twelve and asking my brother to, "Hand me the bazooka, the armor is trying to flank" (despite having no idea what that meant, and being asleep.) I have so many experiences to share, but I'll save those for future discussions.

Being a young man of twenty-one, I am still trying to metaphorically "get up" after being floored by the thought that there are others like me. I am in no way a psychic master, or even in control of my abilities. I have wanted to take my skills further, yet I still watch as opportunities pass me by. I am hoping this forum and it's inhabitants will allow me to build my confidence and face my destiny fearlessly and with love in my heart.

On that note... who's next?

Hi,
I just posted on another thread a couple of my psycic experiences, but since then I thought of a couple more.
I dreamed that Dale Ernhart was going to die in the next race. I told people about it, and then a week later, I watched the race on t.v., and as they were heading towards the finish line, I began to wake my husband up, by saying, Sweetie, this is it, Ernharts going to wreck, and he's going to die. Then, the wreck happened, and my husband, awake now, said, well, they don't know he's dead yet. Those cars are built very well. They can hit pretty hard, and still come out unscathed. I told him, No, He's dead. And, he was.

I've got oodles of experiences.

Come to think of it I remember a phase when I was about 6, where I was plagued by the same bad dream. The thing is this dream seemed so real compared to the normal kind of dream.

I would get up in the middle of the night and go walking to my parents room, when suddenly I would fall into the dream. I was floating down the stairs and at the bottom was some kind of monster, however I always woke up before I reached it, then I would carry on to my parents room. Was this just a dream or does this sound supernatural?

It sounds like a fear of the unknown type of dream, or possably a repressed experience dream.

Not all spirits such as that are evil, some just want a friend. I had one that liked to hide in my room when I was little. Instead of running from it, like most little kids would, I made it my friend. I talked to it, not that it actually responded, but regardless it was still there. After a while, I realized it may just be protecting me, as all it did was stand there and look like a guardian of shadow.

It has been a while since I have seen my guardian of shadow, but I have a feeling that he is still there.

Oh, and I have posted my abilities on another blog. I am in no way, shape, or form a master of my abilities, the whole precognitive thing is beyond my control, but I am trying.

I have been phychic all my life, I am now 13 and still having visions of the future. As a small child I could remember things from a past life, after reading that this gift usually goes away after age twelve I started to write down everything that I remembered. Now that I am 13 I am still rememering new things everyday. THe visions I see of te future are not only concerning me. I can sense the emotions of others and feel and take away oter peoples pain. I am tired of remaining in the background trying to ignore my gift, I think that we were given these gifts for a reason and that we should use them to halp when I can. I am frequently taking away pain from others in hope to make a dfference, but there is only so much pain one person can feel. a paper cut might not feel so bad, but a hundred paper cuts some broken bones, aching muscles about 50 colds and flus, and a few dozen headaches your at your limit. some days I still haven't recovered from the pain of yesterday and have to stay home, but I like the pain. Not, of course the acctual sensation of the pain, but the knowledge that I all the pain I feel has been taken away from a few dozen people along the way. That is how Iam helping to use my gifts, you should try to reach out to people with yours too. It feels good to know that you are doing something right in the life of ridicule that us psychics lead. I still haven't found a use for my other ifts yet but I will.
Just your agerage psychic teen,
Smarti;)

you are so adorable and i love you for being courageous in posting.

Such a blessed child :)

I think I have honestly been psychic for much of my life... but I would say it was a moderate psychicism, increasing somewhat in my teens but then dramatically increasing in my early thirties following trauma and severe accident. It seemed to open a doorway of sorts and I had trouble adjusting to it as it was so radical. In all honesty, there are days where I still have difficulty adjusting to it.

I have heard voices since I was two years old (might have been earlier, but I still have memories of when I was two) I never really talked about it as I thought it was normal, and everyone heard voices!
I remember hands under my bed coming out to "get me" and a bright light appearing under my walldrobe door (no lightbulb inside that cupboard!)
I remember the "voices" always talking to me and telling me things that were about to happen, or when things did happen, the voices would explain to me what was happening.
I remember "ticking" in the walls when I was 11 and when I mentioned it to my friends I was teased about it. Now realizing not everyone has this happen to them.
I started having visions when I was 15 years old. They scared me and I tried to shut it down. But they kept coming back.
By the time I was 19 I realized that this was here to stay, and started working with it.
I am now 37 and have been doing readings for people since I was 24. And I am still learning more every day !

I have been and always will be a psychic, clairvoyant, I have researched this field for over 30 years. I have gathered information by doing cold readings. These are done with no information about the individual and not knowing them. The results are fantastic. I do believe we can all do this very easily. We are told that we cant, yet I never was. My gift has brought great relief to people who have lost loved ones quickly and who never feel closure. Once the contact has been made it makes me cry as well. Just today I asked a woman if her brother had died and she said yes. He was sitting next to her. I described to her what he was like and some details only she would know. Then her young daughter spoke and shared with her mom how she could heal her pain and find joy again in her life. Many people have held my hand in gratitude and thanked me for saving their lives.
It is funny but as soon as someone is judging me harshly I shut down and can't or won't read a thing. It is annoying to be treated immorally because of Hollywood's description of a Psychic.
I have learned so much about human behavior and about the process of life. I tried to be normal and no-way will I ever go back to that boring existence. The spirits have taken care of me all my life and I sure don't wish them to stop now.

Ghost Stories
 

Some personal experiences with spirits I have had.

There was a spirit who was being chased by an Indian and he kept running away from this guy. He wouldn’t go to the light because he didn’t know what it was. The Indian was his spirit guide who was trying to help him. His daughter who came to me asked how he was doing. When I communicated with him and told him his guide was there to help him he was quite surprised. Felt sorry for the guide who was chasing him everywhere.

Haunted house clearing-NOT recommended doing at all.

This woman called explaining she had malevolent spirits in her house. The spirits were physically hurting her kids and terrorizing everyone at night. She called a Catholic Priest and even he wouldn’t take on such a project.
There were quite a few spirits in the house but one was really mean. One night the mother stood up to the ghost and demanded him to leave the house. She turned off the light and walked away. Then the light turned back on. The mother turned only to see the window steamed up from the inside with a nasty reply written on it.
We cleared out the first bunch of spirits then the mean one came through. He was angry but with some encouragement we convinced him to tell us his story.
When he was alive as a child his parents would beat him relentlessly almost every day of his life. As an adult he was a hermit and when he went walking the kids would through rocks at him or call him names. People were very unkind and cruel to him. He had never experienced a single day of love in his life. Then while walking home one day he saw a little girl by the creek. She held her hand up with love to him and said,” Hi.” When he felt this love all this crazy rage whirled up inside of him and he attacked the girl and killed her.
Now that he is dead he didn’t want to go to the light because he thought God would punish him and send him to Hell. Then the little girl came and held out her hand to him and said,” I forgive you and it is time for you to come home.” The spirit was so ashamed that he could, nor wouldn’t take the girls hand. With a little coaching and encouragement from us he finally did. When he took her hand everything in my minds eye lit right up and this amazing and wonderful non-judging and loving feeling was so present. Nothing here on earth in this dimension could ever feel as good as that did. Then he was gone and the house was quiet.
It sure taught me to not be so quick to judge another, as we have no right. I’m not perfect and still do but I try not to.

dark shadow entitie (1 of whatever)
 

Since I was little I could tell about people and there prescence of good or evil and it used to be quite frightning.I still to this day just pass people see there pain and immediately be filled with it.I don't talk to them and the ones with happiness around them unfortunately I can't feel but I can see them or sometimes it.Even talking about this here is eary too me.
This all started around the time I was sleeping in my old home and I thought I was hearing things (that sord of thing)like voices.I would wake up cold or almost paralysis in the middle of night or both.I eventually one night woke up and (mind you it was dark)I had the first awful feelings of something terrible.I looked up at end of bed by the door and confronted what I saw that was a dark shadowy figure.It wasn't but a few seconds and it was out of the room and then I saw the door shutting behind it almost fast then slow.
My wife heard this door sut and woke up but I couldnt explain this to her.
Anyway this is very frightening when this happens or when I feel or see this just by passing a person.Sometimes I see and sometimes I can feel (or both).I'm still trying to work on this now since this feeling seems to be with me and not going anywhere.I don't know a purpose for this but I'm sure I will find out.This scares my wife very bad and there are times I don't sleep with her.
I read in here somebody experienced these things like this more frequently later in there life more suddenly.I probably don't want to learn about this because none of this feels any good.

I have always had a strong sixth sense.
For instance I always dream about getting a letter in the mail or an important email the night before I do.
I remember as a teen I would go to bars and come up to strangers and say things like- "Is your mother's name Irene?" or "were you born may 16th?"
Most often I was right, because I would only say this to people that I really felt it. They were amazed. It was my party trick.
Or once I called a friend and told her she was pregnant. She was like no way, she didnt want a baby and didnt even now who the father was as she wasnt in a monogamous relationship at the time. but indeed she was...
A few weeks ago I was in a casino in a hotel. I didnt play buy my friend was playing roulette.
I sat next to him and the dealer spinned the roulette.
I said put it on 14, my friend said no. i said please- put it on 14! he said no, go away,I said just listen to me 14!...and it came out 14! Then I told him itll be a black odd number, again I was right. He was like "how did you do that" and he keeps telling everyone about this incident.

Ive always had a strong 6th sense but ive been developing it in the past years, by reading books and monitoring my readings (for myself only).
I believe intuition is a muscle that can be developed.

Its amazing what you find out when you speak with family as I believe some psychic abilities actually pass through.

For years I had dreams or just simple deja vu about things that would happen involving me and my friends or family, never about anything happening hugely just my own personal experiences, one even stopped an argument with my boyfriend one day because I knew exactly what was going to be said, was so strange, anyway I went to get a reading last year from a psychic who was very well renowned, try and help me get over my grandads death as we had been very close, he came through and gave out to me for closing off not only from him but my abilities, he told me he had dreams - much stronger than I did, that he had a gift but only ever spoke to my grandmother about it, I suppose in his day it wasn't something you spoke about, anyway he told me my mother also had a gift and so did my sister, there was a few more bits but too long to tell, anyway spoke to close family, my mam said strange things have been happening to her all her life, she can also tell about someone just by looking at them, what kind of person they are, I made her try it out on a few ppl I knew but she didn't as a practice, she was bang on the button, but still wont admit it to this day, same with my Auntie, she got so scared one day messing around with tarot cards with a friend she hasn't done them since, the pictures she got in her head just from doin what she classed as a pretend reading , she relayed what she saw to her friend and everything was true -also my grandmother that woman is scary, its like she can actually read what your thinking, anyway there's my 2 cents, I'm lucky I have an open minded family but I think its always a good idea to bring it up, ppl may be surprised with the feed back you get.

I'm not the sort to see ghosts, etc. I've had a lot of experience with telepathy, though, and some precognitive dreams... and a good share of general intuition. Plus a pretty good general sense of what's at the core of different individuals (attitudes, behavior tendencies and all that).


I think the extra sensitivity that people like us have can make personality development a bit more difficult. Because being sensitive to hidden sorts of things during our early childhood years and adolescence can evoke certain responses from people around us - parents, teachers and others. Plus, you can be more sensitive to what you perceive as hurtful or dangerous actions or "vibrations" on the part of others.

Hence, your personality can develop in ways that can be trouble for you later. I'm still working some of that stuff out, inside myself. It's called a healing process, but maybe it's also a "re-structuring process".

When it comes to my childhood, I honestly cannot remember almost anything, which isn't good considering I haven't even reached 18 yet. This is due to something that occurred that I repressed, which I believe as a side-effect, went after most of my other childhood memories as well.

Last night, in fact, before I went to bed I was getting that wind rushing through my ears noise, the one that is often associated with things like astral projection and suddenly I recalled a memory from way back when I was either 3-5 years old range. My grandma and mom went out shopping and I was left at home, I can't recall all who was there, maybe my grandpa in another room, but I went into the master bedroom and was lying there when I started hearing voices. They were clear and full range and I could understand every word, it was different people's conversations, but it started to drive me nuts, most likely because I couldn't see people actually talking. I tried to bury my head in the pillows and even cuff my own ears trying to stop it. At one point it changed to shopping sounds and I could hear my mom and grandma discussing something whilst checking out. About 15 minutes later they arrived home, by then I was mess from the mess of noises and everything else.
Around that time, is when I believe I started blocking out my natural abilities, since I learned at a young age (around the same time as this happened) that things like that aren't "normal." So they just went away.

I also get those odd, really strong vibrations at random where I feel like I'm being pulled out of my body throughout the day. Or the ringing in my ears will accompany that.

I've had other things that take too much detail to explain, but I'm hoping that more of my past will be revealed to me.

I also found out recently my dad has had dreams of his past lives, foreseen his own father's death, and several other things. I guess it's passing along.

Do you think a person can shift from one sort of psychic ability (that they were born with or that emerged in their childhood) to another kind? or another area of psi?

yes!

Are you intending to leave me in suspense? :p

The question prompted by your answer is: How?

Hi Smarti,
The use for your psychic gifts will become apparent as you use them, or as they are needed. There is no hurry. Take a look at MindSoulSpirit :: Student Experiences to see what others are doing with their gifts. There are lots of us psychics and we can take the ridicule :)
Best Wishes

My birth was foretold by a ouija board of all things. My mother was not pregnant and it said I'd be a boy on April 14, less than 9 months away.

April 14th was also my dads birthday and as he is a little more of a skeptic he does admit this story is true but amounts it to power of suggestion.

I learned ouija boards do work as I have been accused of pushing them enough as a kid.

When I was a teen i read a book by Harold Sherman and this led me to successfully transmit thoughts in a large number of experiments over the years.
The experiment is outlined in my very old Youtube video below.
YouTube - Telepathy for dummies (easy proof with this method)

Basically I sent messages to friends while they slept.

I have often heard the term if someone is so psychic why dont they just predict the lottery numbers, so I have tried this (weird results).

I actually believe it is possible now.

I was getting better than average results with this method.
a) try to receive numbers from your future self.
b) Buy ticket
c) Forget numbers over course of next week or so or you will lose will to broadcast.
d) Memorize numbers for draw and mentally send them back to yourself when you were in part "a)".
e) check ticket.

I was doing much better than average, although never hitting it big.

So I invented a method of choosing the numbers subliminally and have just begun experimenting with them recently on my website
ChoiceDowsing.com
There is a free technique on there (currently) to choose your numbers based only on intuition, and have not done a whole lot of advertising for it yet.

Anyways. Mostly my hobby is trying to figure out the science of it. I believe strongly that all psychic phenomenon/law of attraction is both real and explainable by science.

I also believe we all are one and that would mean that the sum of all + a bit more would be my version of god.

So I guess i'm religious but in a scientific sense.

Anyways. I have never made a penny from my work as of yet. I would like to publish some e-books though perhaps on my website.
