Hello!
Well, I'm very new to this community. (And a bit nervous, too!) I've fought what I felt were "coincidental occurrences of unusually keen insight" my entire life - convincing myself that it was simply a case of selection bias.
However, after this past week, I think I finally need to admit that my psychic experiences are real.
I'm a graduate student studying textual criticism. I'm also an artist and astronomy educator. So apart from the art, I work in a fairly logical and scientific field. My faith is very important to me. I'm only now coming to terms that my faith and my psychic experiences can work together in harmony.
Anyway, I suppose I should approach this with a bit more detail -- hmm. I started having dreams as a child that I noticed later came to fruition. I also know when things are happening to people I am particularly close to or when especially traumatic events (tornado, etc.) are about to happen. It seems to run in our family (esp. with my grandmother and brother).
Unfortunately, I absolutely hate the dreams. The dreams that are precognitive in nature are rarely anything that could be classified as a nightmare. However, since a fair number of regular dreams (very random subject matter) later turn out to be true, I find myself worrying that my nightmares will also come true (though they never have!). Since I have nightmares almost nightly, I am constantly worried. I suppose it isn't any wonder that I've avoided this for years.
Knowing when things are happening to family/friends isn't quite as upsetting. Partly, I suppose, because I'm awake. They're mildly disconcerting and annoying since they appear (as strong emotions or feelings) out of nowhere. I don't seem to feel that I have any control over any of this.
That's probably enough info for now. Anyway, I have a lot of learning to do. I can see from reading only a few forum posts that my abilities and experiences are fairly insignificant in comparison to what many of you seem to have. So I really look forward to meeting all of you!
Shalom,
Chloe
