Ok I showed you mine, now you show me yours.
Meow!
Ok, I'll bite. I have dreams, too. But they're not literal, they're deeply symbolic, and actually end up explaining quite a lot of the nuances of what's going on when it finally happens. But that means that I don't understand it until after it's happened, which is really no help at all, is it?
As for natural disasters, I don't predict them myself, but we have a resident Goddess that tells us when & where they'll happen (roughly). She predicted the 2003 Tsunami, Katrina, and the hurricane that came right after Katrina at the end of that month. She's really big on Tsunamis...there's supposed to be a huge one in the Pacific in a few years (sometime around 2013...bigger than 2003) but I'm sorry I don't know more than that right now... She says I'll be in MA at a backyard picnic when it happens, and right now I'm in OR, and I'm supposed to have twins or something but I only have 1 kid, so I guess that will be our little test, eh?
You can all be my witnesses and we'll see if it happens or not.
I had a friend predict 9/11 three months before it happened. 2 stacks of her husband's resumes fell over in the next room and when it woke her up, a voice said "wake up! this is important!" He was a CFO. She told me about it right away, and it was the night we both had the same dream but from different perspectives that actually foretold our entire 3-year friendship, her divorce, and a future mutual friend that would end up becoming my boyfriend and the father of my child. When I found the transcript of our IM chat months later, I almost fell out of my chair! Why do these things have to be so vague when it is important?
The problem with this is advanced notice is... who on Earth would believe us if we told them? No one.
I get dejavu a lot, and sometimes when it happens I can clearly see an event in the future, but that is rare. It's like a double, overlapping dejavu. I tell people about it when that happens so I have witnesses that I really foresaw it. They're always benign things, like an object breaking, or a class I'm going to take, or something someone will say. It's never anything important.
I experienced the death of a childhood friend as it was happening. I was half-asleep in a car 3000 miles away and I kept coughing and calling out for my mom. I later found out she died in a fire that night. For years I had recurring dreams that she was a ghost, stuck in that basement, reliving her nightmare over and over. I hope that's not true!
I also exprienced the death of my favorite dog. I was at work and suddenly smelled this funny chemical and got dizzy and heard echoing voices. I noted the time, and later my parents told me they had put her to sleep right then. (They told me it was going to happen, just not what time. I thought it was already over by then.)
I've had mental connections with several people over the years. The biggest was with my best friend in high school. When I'd call her on the phone, I'd sometimes space out while it was ringing, and she wouldn't pick up because she thought she already had. We'd always have conversations trail off to silence but still be having them in our heads. Like once we trailed off and she was thinking about the show "Tale Spin" and about the characters. It was totally unrelated to our verbal conversation, but after a few mintues I suddenly exclaimed defensively "I LIKE Don Carnage!" She looked at me funny. I guess we had continued the conversation in our heads. (yes, I know this story dates me....)
Once we were sitting eating lunch and her dad was vacuuming. I thought I heard the muffled voice of a woman talking on the radio, like it was on NPR or something, but too quiet to hear over the vacuum. When the vacuum went off, so did the voice. I said in all seriousness "what happened to the radio?" and she looked at me funny and said "what radio?" I told her what I had heard and she started laughing. It rhymed exactly with what she had been thinking! She also heard me call her name in my head one summer when she went on a trip to the other side of the country. I missed her so much I was lying in bed at 11pm and made this spinning ball of fire in my head, put her name in it, and then shot it out of my head really fast while I screamed her name. I don't know why I did this, but as soon as she got off the plane the next week, she said "what were you doing at 1am on Saturday night?" I didn't even remember at first I had done anything. I laughed...there was a time difference! She said someone said her name in the room while she was sleeping and it woke her up. She was totally creeped out because she thought someone was actually in her room. lol!
But it wasn't just me who was the 'psychic one'. She didn't live with her mom, but every time her mom started feeling romantic, my friend would burst into tears. It was pretty funny.
As for telekenesis, I don't have many talents to speak of, but I can do one thing. If you put something on the floor, like a coin or a marble or any small item, I can find it on the floor with my fingers by running my hand over the area about 2 inches off the floor. I can actually feel them with my fingers without touching them. But that's it. No moving objects or setting things on fire. One of my favorite movies is "Practical Magic." I'd love to be able to stir my coffee without touching it or light candles by blowing on them. That would be fun! (and handy...)
I have a tarot deck that I like to use that's been pretty right-on over the years. I can't find it right now because we didn't unpack everything when we moved into this tiny apartment, but I'm sure I'll find it when we move again. I used to have a neighbor that came over for readings and called me his "spiritual advisor" even though tarot was totally against his religion. lol I do it just for fun but most of my readings end up coming true. I never expect them to, though.
Well I guess that's about all I can remember right now. I can't wait to see what others write here...this is a fun topic.
