Just knowing things

[SwampGas]

My sister got into some trouble recently. She said where she was by using the guy's nickname...as soon as I heard the nickname, I also heard the full name (in my head). I told my parents the kid's name. I told them her friends are being coaxed into talking against her to the police. I told them to expect her to get charged.

I also had no idea about any of this...I just kind of started talking.

I found out today that I was correct with everything. The kid's name was exactly as I had said it...and I made up some story about going to high school with him so they didn't think I was nuts. She was charged as I had predicted.

This ability (or gift?) is becoming more and more prominent. I'm hearing stuff and getting thoughts on a daily basis now. I think of someone's name and I'm suddenly flooded with thoughts about them, words to describe them, etc. I can do it best as I'm falling asleep because that's probably the closest I get to a relaxed and meditated state....but occasionally it'll just come to me during the day when I need the info.

It's really tempting to ask you if you mind if I give you a name and see what you come up with (obviously, you don't have to do it, and if you did but nothing came to you then I wouldn't take that to mean that you're wrong about things as a matter of course). In fact, this request doesn't stem from a need to make you 'prove' anything, since I have said before that I don't think that can be done. This is just out of mild curiosity to see how you do. Unless it only happens randomly and not specifically when you try, I don't know.

Either way, if the request offends or upsets you in any way, I apologize and I won't say any more about it.

My name is Mike, my mom's side of the family calls me 'Mikey', and my sister calls me 'monkey boy'. Tell me what you come up with! $100 and the cover of Time if you come up with my last name.

Sounds like you've got something like I've got. Except yours works differently than mine. Mine dealing with TV shows and yours dealing with peoples' names. Too bad I can't remember some peoples' names most of the time.

Personally, I believe that everyone has at least a little psychic ability, you just need to be "in tune" for it to happen. There have been times when my mother has said something that I was thinking, after no lead-in whatsoever to the subject, though I'm sure this has happened to everyone. Also, my mother and her sister seem to have some sort of connection in that there have been times when one of them has gone to call the other, picked up the phone, and the other is already on the line without the phone having rung. They've met with each other wearing almost the exact same things after having not seen each other for several years, they've both put up the exact same wallpaper and curtains without any communication... it's pretty creepy, and it's not like they live just next door either, for most of the time I've been alive we've lived in upstate NY and my aunt and her kids have lived in New Jersey.

So, um, as much as I'd like to continue my disbelief and claim that you're full of it like I tried to say with that communicating-with-spirits thing, I do indeed believe you with this. <img src=smilies/erm.gif>

Like I said...it's not fully developed and it's only beginning. I was told that this is a "training" period and it's hit or miss because most of the stuff is being filtered from me so I don't get overwhelmed.

Eric or Derrick. Any coincidence I thought of those names?

It doesn't work like that <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>

On that subject, seeing as to how you seem to be knowing alot about this, you might be able to help me understand this. This happens quite alot, where I go to sleep, dream of something, and completely forget about the dream--until what I dreamt about happens. Usually it's not for a while that it happens, it just does. Not all dreams, just really random ones. It seems like its deja vu, like it's already happened. I dunno. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Don't think I know any Erics or Derricks that could be important...
