Well Adair, you are certainly not the only one out there that has these "abilities". I can't specifically remember when I started "picking" up on things but I do know that as I get older I am picking up on things more and more. Some examples are: The first time I picked up on an event was I pulled up to my driveway and had to sit in the street before I could pull down the driveway because a family friend was over and they were blocking the driveway. I was sitting there and before they even walked out of my house I knew that her father had died. I knew he had cancer but he was not expected to die anytime soon. But as I sat there in my truck, I just knew that he had died and I was right. When I was able to pulldown and go inside I asked right away if in fact he had died. My mother just looked at me and said, yes, he had and he had died about an hour and a half before. Another time was when my Grandmother died. We knew she was dying within days, if not hours, and I was at home because I had to work in the morning. I had said my goodbyes that night and went to sleep around 10pm. At 11:58pm I woke up because my deceased grandfather (her husband) was telling me to wake up, that I needed to be awake. I can't remember if it was a dream all I know is that all of a sudden he was there telling me I had to get up, to wake up. He was so insistent about it too. So, I laid in bed for about twenty minutes before I got a knock on my door, from my mother, telling me that my grandmother had just passed away. My mom had received a phone call from my dad telling her that my grandmother had died. The next time I had the opportunity to talk to my dad I asked him what time my grandmother had died and he told me she had died at 11:58pm. These two stories are not the only things that I "feel" they are just the two that I think off the most. What I feel about things, I call my gut feelings. Like feeling your car is going to break down and then it does. Or as you are walking out of the door for work and your feeling tells you you should call work because for some reason you know you won't be working that day and then you get to work (at 5:55am) and are told that they forgot to put you on the schedule. Every time this happens, I get that feeling and the last time I got that feeling I listened to it and called, and what do you know, I was not on the schedule for that day. I see things out of the corner of my eye, I pick up on the "feeling" of the room, building, whatever. I have walked into my house knowing someone would be sick, and they are. When people try to tell me about an event, or some personal news, or about an experience they have had, I usually spoil it for them because I know about almost as soon as they open their mouth. When I meet new people, I can tell right away if I like them or not. Usually if the person is "bad" I will et a really strong sense of something, I don't know what" that the person is just different; that there is something about this person that I don't like. I even experience mood changes on days that world events happen on. When the bridge fell in Minneapolis, about 10 minutes beforehand I got very jittery and anxious and sat down because I had to watch the news. I can tell when big storms are going to happen because I get really strong headaches and , depending on the storm size, bad stomach cramps. As I age, I am learning to rely on these "feelings". I don't know what they are and why I get them. The only way I can describe what I feel is like having a really good case of mother's intuition, although I am not a mother. These feelings come up with anything and everything and usually when I do get my feelings and I don't listen to them, I end up regretting it because if I had listened to my feelings whatever I needed to do, or should not have done would have been okay if only I had followed what my feelings told me to do. I know I am a very sane person so I won't even say "I know I am not crazy", I, also, would like to know what I can call this. Is it intuition, or is it something more? Thanks for listening.
