I think I'm psychic?

[Toaster Hunter]

You are not a psychic. My aunt claimed to have the same ability, and "knew" that someone was going to die because of a dream she had. Six months later, some extremely distant relative that we only met once dies and she would say "see, I told you someone would die" or she "knew" that something good would happen and a year later, someone she knows has a baby. People believe what they want to believe.

And I'm Spartacus.

Eh why not? A medium had enabled me to have a nice chat with my mom, so i guess anything is possible.

although she could have been really good at reading people.

if you think your pyshic then like others said, a dream jornal is good, but if you dream of having a hot dog for dinner and end up having one two days later, don't think that gives you proof

It's possible that you're inserting what's presntly happening into memoies of your dreams.

On the other hand maybe you are psychic. If so, have fun.

speak of the devil. google the darkness on the edge of town or darkness radio, its a paranormal talk show going on at this moment. They are talking about pyshic phenemon. Might tickle your fancy.

Pics or it doesn't happen. Good luck =D

No, your not psychic. Mainly because psychics dont exist.

 

[LittleChone]

Your mind could be able to predict events and plans that will occur. I'd look at more of the details about this if I were you.

Also, how does being possessed let you see the future? I've never hear that one before.

Ok let me tell you that your not alone... If what you say is true, then YES you could call it a form of "psychic" ability..

My mum used to see plane crashes and train crashes, up to a week before they happened. At first I didnt believe her, but one morning she said "I had another nightmare of two trains colliding together. I have a bad feeling it will happen within the next two days..." I ignored it, passing it off as she'd been drinking. Next day, on the news, two trains had indeed collided together. I actually burst into tears from shock.
Ontop of that, she'd scared the hell out of her old boyfriend after predicting the Lockerbie plane crash in 1988 several days before it happened....
My nana told me that its happened to her when she was young also... and I have had my moments of "deja vu" when I know ive seen something before in a dream and am currently doing/looking at the same thing. Again so has my partner....

I get very edgy when i "sense" something is going to happen. My stomach gets butterflies and I feel very insecure. The other week, we were walking back from college (please believe me coz this is a TRUE story), when I felt odd. Everything looked stranger then usual but I didnt know why. We passed a group of girls who were discussing (amusingly) about how people "see" things before they happen, or sense things are going to happen.... We continued until the road and as we were waiting for the lights, I turned to face the opposite direction to the cars. To this day I dont know what made me look in that direction considering I should have been watching when the cars stopped... Anyway, I was about to look away when a bus started to cross my vision from my right. Next thing I know, I see a girl suddenly step out and SMASHED straight into the bus.... As you can imagine I was pretty shaken up for the rest of the day. No, I dont know what happened to her, last id seen before we left the scene was she looked dazed but concious with no obvious signs of injury.

Weirdly the body has a subconscious and strange way of telling us about things. After all, we're all made up of atoms, why shouldnt those atoms "see" what the other atoms are up to.

I once had a dream that I fell off a skyscraper and was plummeting to earth and right before I hit the ground I woke up and hit the floor. I guess I had the sensation of falling after I fell off my bunk bed (top).

 

[Hashime]

CONFIRMATION BIAS. That is all.

 

[Uncle_Brainhorn]

I haven't read this thread, but you're not psychic. Nobody is. It's also probably news to you that Santa doesn't exist.

 

[fangclaw]

maybe, maybe not, I once though i had the ability to push thoughts into other people's head and i could list various examples like how one time i was thinking "i want taco bell" and shortly after my parents and i were on our way to taco bell with out me saying a single word, and to this day i still feel it happening, but i digress. there is no way for any of us to either confirm or disprove any of what you say, the same goes for me, but assuming you're right and you are precognitive then i wouldn't worry about it to much seeing as it doesn't appear that you are "predicting" any major events, and if you do then simply talk to a priest or other christian religious figure, seeing as you're christian, and they should be happy to help.

 

[Twilight_guy]

The same thing happens to me. It's Deja Vu. Not to mention that considering the random crap our brain does in our dreams I wouldn't be surprise if every once in a while it gets something right. That said, when you dream your long term memory doesn't work (that's why you forget them so quick and you can never remember that much of them they are only in your short term memory which is quickly "overridden"). I don't think dreams really can be remembered (at least not much of them.

If you want advice from the Christian standpoint, try reading the on gifts of the spirit listed in the New Testament. One of them is prophecy and another the gift of knowledge. There are different views on this, I'll leave you to decide where you stand and whether you believe it's relevant to you/in today's times. Wiki link for quick run downs of popular beliefs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritual_gift. Just don't get all caught up in the gift, remember the giver and realize that it doesn't make you "special" to the point of being better than others.

This. I was going to type out a long response but then saw this post and it essentially sums up what I was going to say.

Don't flatter yourself man. You're not psychic. No such thing. And I would love somebody to prove me wrong so I can finally become a diabolist hunter... That would be sweat. Fuck all that crazy devil shit, thinkin there all that. I'll be a dark mage or a monk. Use my powers to do whatever i want. And I'll carry a big-ass mother fuckin Zweihänder. sorry, got totally off subject there. But I still think psychics belong in the fantasy world I just described.

Dreams aren't all weird and crazy shit, you know, they're limited by what we know and where we've been (if only in pictures). As an added bonus, your subconcious is specifically designed to help you believe that the dream is reality as an added protection against realizing you're asleep and waking up in the middle of it. This is one way that deja vu may be coming into it.

Maybe you're just good at predicting your patterns, or maybe you really do have the strange ability to see snap shots of the future. My mom (who is otherwise a very scientific, down-to-earth and sensible woman) truly believes that she has predicted via dreams every one of the major deaths in her life, so I'm far from unbiased, but I always allow room for things that don't seem to make sense or aren't commonly realistic just in case I'm wrong. It doesn't seem a particularly helpful gift so far if it is real, so I wouldn't worry too much about it either way.
