I just recently found out what this meant. I will share another experience with you, two actually. Both are tragic events that happened when I was around 10 and again at 18. The first experience involved my cousin. Super great kid, he was 15 and worked and went to school. we were close as I played with his little sister almost every day. Anyhow, one night my sister and I were trying to go to sleep (we shared a bed because I was a major chicken). We were just falling asleep when the bed started violently shaking. My sister screamed and my mom came running. I sat straight up in the bed and cried Vincent! My mom looked puzzled and I told her the phone was about to ring with bad news. I didnt get to finish my sentence when the phone rang. It was my aunt saying that Vince wasnt home yet and she was worried. I started crying because I knew he was gone. The next morning my uncle found him and his girlfriend in his car, both had been murdered. Weeks passed and they told us what the police said happened. I asked my mother to take me to the place where they found him. Immediately, I felt like I was there that night. I felt the terror, I walked where they had walked and I heard what they heard. I closed my eyes and wandered in the area, talking to my mom, telling her what I was experiencing. There were clues and evidence that was missed which we called the authorities to let them know so they came down. It was a small town so everyone knew everyone. They never found the killers, there was more than one, but what I experienced that day changed me forever. He still visits me in dreams.
The second incident was when my other cousin had committed suicide. The family just told us he had been depressed and took his life over a girl. Something told me they were lying. After the funeral, we went back to their house. I felt my cousin there...as I opened the door, the room changed and I was there the day it happened. I heard an argument and a shot. I felt a pain in my chest and walked to his room. I opened the door and a blood of emotion came over me. I staggered through the hallway, muttering what was happening. My aunt looked at me in horror as she told me that is what he was saying after he shot himself. It was as if, I was him at that moment. I described how I was feeling and told her that I wasnt trying to kill myself, but it had been an accident. I pointed to where he died and just sat on the floor and cried. My aunt was so upset, they had to giver her a shot of something to calm her.
To be honest, I hate the fact that I can sense these things. It takes a lot out of me and I feel completely drained when it happens. These are just 2 events where I hated this ability. That was over 15 years ago and I have not tried to do that again.
The paranormal can be a dangerous thing if it isn't treated with respect. I do not claim to be psychic, or read tarot cards or tell the future on a regular basis. Nor would I say this is something that I can do at anytime. It is more of a selective knowing. I choose to block things out because it is draining. I chose to sense when I want to and close it off all the other time.

Jarmen - You sound very grounded in setting your boundaries and blocking out certain things. Violent deaths are very "loud" psychicly (IMO) and perhaps more easily picked up even if one doesn't want to. I hope that if you are continuing to have ocassional incoming information that some of it is of the pleasant variety! At various times I've experienced both - but there are people here who deal with this on a daily basis.

I do read tarot cards though, and it's very difficult for me to ignore certain things. I wish I could close it off like you can... ~hugz~ Thanks for sharing this with us... I'm sorry about what happened to both of your cousins...

This may sound odd, but one of the ways I learned to turn it off was to sing a childhood song that I loved. One that made my mind wonder and took me to a safe place. For me it is Good-bye yellow brick road by Elton John. Except for me, it wasn't a person, it was the gift that couldn't hold me forever. Just as it takes practice to master the gift, it takes more practice to stop it. I stopped reading tarot cards to people. They are too accurate and I tell the truth when I read them. It doesnt make people feel any better and it bothers me because I feel like I am prying. Lorelei...try to find that comfort song and practice using it when you are having those feelings. It may not help right away...but at least its something to try

My sister doesn't believe in anything to do with the paranormal or aliens. As a matter of fact, she called me one day and said that we may need to place mom in a home because she said she was visited by an alien. I laughed and asked her if she was kidding. Apparently, my mother had never told her about it. She had even blocked out the black dog event. Once I told her that it was true and it affected my family as well....she was in complete disbelief. Poor thing.

I got tired of just casually looking around while driving and seeing dead bodies on the side of the road; looking again and nothing is there, and then seeing what I saw on the news shortly thereafter. I quit "playing" with tarot cards after seeing something hop on my bed. (I mean no disrespect to anyone who uses the cards. I was playing.) They were also very accurate for me . (modified for word spacing)

Poor thing. This is what I "worry" about . At one time I thought I could talk with my sister about weird things that have happened to me. Especially since she used to be the "homebody" and is 5 yrs. older than me. She has even brought a few things up. . . but, she brings them up at the wrong time these days; like around other people. I also recall some things she experienced in this house, because she lived here with my folks much longer than my brother or I did. And my mom is remembering "things" differently. It's one thing for me to question my sanity. But other people doing it? Not good ;D.

Well I followed my grandmother and my mothers footsteps in talking to my children about the unexplained. We didn't discuss these things until they were older and we talked about the places we lived. That is when I found out all that they too had experienced. All of my kids have a sense of their own. I have always tried to be honest as possible with them so they know I am not crazy. They all remember their dreams in great detail. They all sense when someone is going to pass away. They sense ghosts and they all believe that they have a higher purpose. This is most kids really. I just exposed them to the unexplained and let them decide for themselves. The know that we are visited because we talk about it in the morning. At least this board gives us a chance to acknowledge what we know, how we experience the paranormal and how people are quick to pass judgment on things they don't understand. The reason I came looking for the board again was because the visits are more frequent and I am remembering less of each experience, I just know they are there.

Sometimes it helps to just discuss it with others to "get it out" who have had similar strange experiences... I know it has helped me because almost nobody believes the things I have told them and my parents also "remember" things differently- or not at all... Share as much as you feel comfortable- and if you're not comfortable sharing things on the public board you can always PM one of us or post things under the "Members Eyes Only" thread...

The reason I came looking for the board again was because the visits are more frequent and I am remembering less of each experience, I just know they are there. I am also remembering less . And of course I think I'm too young to be 'forgetful' . The hard part, for me, is knowing that someone is making me forget. I keep thinking that I'm forgetting every-day-normal-things- and that it's obvious to others, because the "gaps" I feel, are so prevalent to me . I'm glad you came looking for us ;D! ********* My grandmother and mother were always too busy for any "deep" conversations . I vowed to be different. I try to make myself stop whatever I am doing and listen to my kids, and try to listen to everything they are saying. Can I say "ugh", here? ;D My daughters have recently started "keeping secrets". No big deal; I have been waiting for it, and it is a testimony to our closeness that I notice it. I thought my son and I were close, but I found out he was keeping secrets by myself dreaming about it . It's just a matter of deciding how important the "secret" is. And of course I don't like their intrusions on my "privacy". LOL.

jcurio,
as kids age they tend to start keeping secrets....that was a phase that was hard for me to take. Which is funny to me because I can still sense when they do things so its only a secret in their minds lol.

I forget why I go into another room in my home. ;D ;D
That is very forgetful but I know why I do this. I try and do ton's of house chores at the same time. So when I go into the room there is so much going on in my head to think. I back track to the room I was last in and see the reason why I had left this room as it puts me back to my last thought before entering the next room. ;D Does that make sense to you who read this post? ;D

I do the exact same thing, Shami. I'm always thinking so much that sometimes I will totally forget what I am doing...kind of like the absent minded proffessor in the Disney cartoons.

I was very fortunate to have a mother that understood and helped me along the way. To this day, she and I have a special connection. My sister doesn't believe in anything to do with the paranormal or aliens. As a matter of fact, she called me one day and said that we may need to place mom in a home because she said she was visited by an alien. I laughed and asked her if she was kidding. Apparently, my mother had never told her about it. She had even blocked out the black dog event. Once I told her that it was true and it affected my family as well....she was in complete disbelief. Poor thing. This reminds me of one of my sisters. I told her over and over about this mind altering as a child at bedtime. She refuses to consider it any thing but what her doctor gave her. He told her it had something to do with puberty. ;D Yes this type of experience did begin at that age with me also.. The timing on this was right.. today I realize it could of been egg harvesters making contact prior to the event. It was so unbearable . You think you have lost your mind .. Once she even stated to me. Lois something outside the house is coming to get you . you must leave your bedroom at once. Which I did . I would go downstairs among my family if they were still up. Or wake my Mother. It alters your hearing also. My Mother after a few of these events would whisper to me. As I told her she sound like a loin roaring in a tunnel with each word she spoke. I HATED IT. But then in 72 after I was married it happened again . This time I was not in getting ready for bed or doing my school homework. but outdoors at midnight. This time a ship came over me and sent down this green floodlight. What a revelation it was. I was so relieved and yet very mad at whoever was in that ship. I knew it was not from this world just by what had happen to me physically. I tried to tell my sister this truth but she would not listen . She thinks I dream all my experiences. It still happens today with her and she is a retired teacher. She always worked with the hard to learn children. She is very bright. She just does not want to accept the possibility . So I quit talking to her about it . years and years ago. I have another older sister, 11 years older. When she was 12 this mind experiences began with her. She listens and says maybe a possibility.. . If our Mother had not told me when I told her about my mind and the ufo event I would never of known about my sisters ordeals.. She told me to talk to both of them. That did not help I'm afraid. I have two other sister who were blessed as they had no experiences. None of my six brothers ever had this happen to them either . All one can do let them have what they want to believe. Maybe they are not strong enough for the truth.
