I know this happens along family lines. Four consecutive generations of the women in my mother's family have each had very strong abilities to sense the world around them. My mother gets visions of number sequences. She is nearly perfect in determining dates, times and weights of newborns. She can scan a deck of cards and know which one is up next without looking. My grandmother and I sense the presence of people who have crossed over. I have been visited by several people in my family and seem to catch movement out of the corner of my eye when I am not paying attention and when there is nothing there that should be moving. I acknowledge that I know someone is there, but they just go on about their business. Only twice has someone stuck around to try to get me to notice them directly. My family members just kind of lurk around the house for a few hours as if just to say hello and to remind me that they are still around and thining about me. There is no dialog from them, nor do I "see" them, but I certainly know who is there and when they are gone. My grandmother leaves the scent of her rose hand lotion. Hubby hates the smell so I don't own any. Even he can smell when she has been in the house! My daughter seems to have this same ability now too. She said my grandmother came to visit her in her bedroom and knew immediately who she was. My grandmother died 5 years before my daughter was born! I also dream very vividly and occassionally dream about a specific person. I know at once that there is something going on in that person's life and now would be a good time to call and just check in with them. I have learned not to delay the phone call or visit! Some of my dreams seem like just ordinary dreams about work or school or something not significant. Very frequently I realize that I am living out the dream in exact detail not just dreaming about things that have already happened. As a young girl, my mother told me not to try to develop our "gifts" because she wasn't certain if they were from heaven or hell. She also feared seeing her own future or the future of someone she loves. As a result, I haven't really tried to do any of these things, but I don't deny them either. She and I seem to experience time periods of being "on" in which we can't stop or suppress what's happening. Then other times it's just "off" and doesn't happen even if we want it to. For me, I am most frequently "on" when life around me is at a still peace - work is easy, relationships are in tune, I have plenty of rest and am very relaxed. Because of my insane lifestyle, this doesn't happen all that often - maybe only 5-6 times a year for about a week or so at a time.
I had to tell my husband early on in our dating relationship that I have these abilities. Being skeptical, he wanted me to somehow prove these things happened to me. So I took him home to meet my parents shortly after I told him. Within a few minutes of being there, my mother asked his middle name. He is very embarassed by it so he wouldn't tell her. I said that I would think it, and she would just have to read my thoughts. 5 seconds later she blurted out his middle name and he was stunned. I don't know if he thought we were pulling his leg or that it really happened. Over time he watched me and my best friend literally read each other's minds while she and lived together and long after we didn't. We still do it more than 20 years later. After watching these things happen over the course of 2 decades together, he knows this is real and respects it. I have even heard him defend me to others who doubted when I told them.
I am comforted knowing that it's not just me. I am also glad I don't live like this 24x7 - it seems like that would be entirely exhausting.
