hi! i'm new here (obviously! :p) and i'ma ctually here to ask some questions and maybe get some guidance.

First of all, let me say that i DO believe in higher powers, I just don't know how to specify then, AND for as long as i've lived, I tried to leave them alone, with the tought 'if i don't disturb them, they will have no reason to hurt me' ... but hear my story and tell me what you think:

For all my life i've had this 'feeling' going on: If i happen to go somewhere (the store, the amusment park), i sometimes have the feelind 'someone i know is here'. A couple of months ago i started giving more attention to this feeling, to find out if it's just coincidence or not. But it's not: if i don't get it, i don't meet people, if i do get it i always bump into someone.

For a couple of weeks now, i've bene trying to concentrate on those feelings, whenever i had them, tried to place them, instead of ignoring as i used too.

So far i've 'predicted' these things:

the fact we would run into cops at the border (we never don't tough, since in europe we have open borders), and we did. Not at the border tough, but a couple of miles beyond it: suddenly they blocked the whole road!

The fact that a friend of mine would break up with his g/f. They've been together for 5 years now, and everything was a-ok in their relationship.When he told me they weremoving in together, i told him not to do it because i had this weird feeling about it ... 2 days after they went to live together, they broke up ;...

The fact that we have mice: One night i saw a 'flash' of a mouse near my electric oven. I went looking into my kitchen, but there was no way the mouse would've bene able to get away, so i tought i imagined it... It felt really weird tough, very confusing. only the day after, my mother in law (who lives in the appartment below us) found a mouse on HER electric oven. a real one!

I'm really 'scared' is not the word, but i'm pretty freaked out. I try to stay away from higher powers, but now it seems they're attracting me... I'm really confused about all this and i would appreciate it a LOT of someone could explain this to me, or tell me how i can cope with this...

just another part of your brain waking up her and there and doing its job...how caveman and now animals run away from danger...before they actually see it...they sense it...its the sixth sense that people poo-poo but that is why it is called that.

Now, higher power, religion, those are different and sometimes the same and sometimes differn things...religion is a choice, higher power, for me, tha is a collective thing of mind power, like prayer can move mountains....

its all your choice...and its easy to deal with. its unpredictable, so no reason to hang a sign out...enjoy it as an extra gift you have.

well, i see 'higher power' as anything that is 'supernatural'. you know, things that people usually don't see or experience. So, i'm sorry if i used the wrong name for you

It's just that i'm really scared, and i don't really know if i WANT to see these things... All i can think of is 'what if this is just the beginning? What if one day i'll see one of my loved ones die, and it turns out to be true? what if i see a major disaster in my own life... I might try to do everything to avoid it, while maybe i just NEED to undergo it...?'

How will i know the diffrence between fantasies and the actual 'premonitions' (cause no matter how you twist or turn it, that's what they are)

I've also tought of something more, yesterday in bed: as a 12-y old i predicted my parent's divorce, 2 years before it happened. At that time there was no reason for me to think that, my dad only met his g/f half a year before they split up (and she was the reason, i even predicted that) I had this feeling after my mom told me this weird dream: She and my dad were in the car, and he was driving as usual. Then he got sick and she needed to take the wheel. When she was driving, he couldn't stop but saying all sorts of bad things about her. Then at the red stoplight, he got out of the car and ran away. My mom said 'pretty weird dream, no?' and i told her 'not at all, it means you'll have a divorce, and daddy will leave. He'll prolly be with someone else and that's why you couldn't be good enough for him' She laughed over it...I don't think she remembers tough, i'll ask her when i see her.

Is it normal for me to be confused right now? for me to doubt myself, all my toughts and feelings? I'm having so much trouble right now expressing myself (wich gets extra hard since english is only my 3rd language after Dutch & french). I don't feel like i can talk to anyone about these things either. Everyone in my envirment is very 'down to earth' and don't believe in anything spiritual, supernatural, or anything that goes along the same alley...

dutch is out, mais je parle un peu de francais. your written english is very good, thank god for that. yes, this thing is jsut flying around in your head becuase you are young, and your hormones are unsettled, consequently, you have a heightened sensitivity to the knowledge that is all around us, all the time, and that most people are oblivious (new one, huh?) to.

this thing will be ther all your life like your skin. it will not be reliable, and you will not always be ablet o tell which is a premonition and which is a fanciful dream. this is particularly tough as a young woman, when you wish for romance...and get reality. on the other hand, it is a useful extra advantage if you can focus it, and recognise it when it kicks in to help you. like feeling lousy when you are supposed to go to party, and so you dont go, and then later you hear that the party was terrible and a fight broke out.

you will be fine, and we wil be here to listen. ther is another site that maybe be good too to connect with good people with easy perspectives on this subject, jsut switch the address of this one around. dont think i am supposed to name the other site, sorry.

Hiya....firstly dont worry, i myself like you and many other people in this world have experienced exactly what you`ve described, but it`s happened for a reason, everything happens for a reason and nothing is a coincidence (it`s meant to be)
I come from a spiritual angle as i`m a developing clairvoyant medium and my experiences started off just like yours, i couldn`t ignore the premonitions, and i couldn`t ignore the faces i used to see hovering around me, but because i accepted what happened and asked questions surrounding my visions etc it`s took me on a journey led me to many people, and now i`ve found out what i am here on this earth to do, to learn, and to help other people understand that there is no death and proove it to them through mediumship. You must not be afraid, trust in yourself and what you experience, and you do have control over what you experience to.
You were given your sensitive intuition for a purpose and i feel that spirit have you in their sights for intuitive/mediumship work eventually, now back to you being in control...if the paticular premonitions you receive are negative or you`re not comfortable with them, then in your mind ask your spirit guide to give you positive premonitions etc or take them away, spirit will not give you anything they feel you cant handle or cope with so dont worry, but they will give peremonitions to make you sit up and take note. You must learn to channel what you receive though, if you dont like something then ask your guides to go easy on you or take them away, if there are questions you want to know about anything you see, feel, hear, experience spiritually, then ask your guides in your mind for the answers and you will receive all answers in dreams, visions or coincidences maybe hours, days or even weeks but you will find out, just trust in your communication to your spirit guide.
you need to know about spirtual protection because of your sensitivity...every night before bed lay down, close your eyes and imagine yourself in a bubble of heavenly white light energy, surrounding you protecting you, this will keep away any negative spirit, and anything you receive will be in the truth, the positive and from the highest realms. I advice you to read up on mediumship on the internet to find out more about it, please take in what i`ve told you, and there`s nothing to be scared of, you just need to accept the gift that you have. love and light. x

Hi, why not replace the emotion of being "scared" into a lighter emotion, like having fun with it. For example, every time the phone rings, try to predict who it is before picking it up. Or each morning try to predict who you will see during the day. It seems like the predictions are "happening to you" whereas maybe the exercises could be one way to develop control "over them", so you would no longer feel scared by them.
