Empath?

Just a repost into this group :) Hopefully I will get more feedback here. I had a few people comment and tell me they think I'm an empath... And while I suspected this, I'd still like some opinions.

Basically, I'm wondering if I could get some feedback on some things that have been happening throughout my life, and see if anyone thinks it has any significance...

First of all, I've always seemed to be hyper aware of other people, always knowing what people were thinking or feelings, and generally being able to guess perfectly how my relationship with a person would go and what kind of person they are after knowing them a few days.

Secondly, I have found that dreams that I have, or thoughts that I suddenly have tend to come true. For example, two nights ago having a dream that my boyfriend would get angry and stop talking to me for four hours, and sure enough that exact thing happened. And once while on my way to the grocery, I thought that I might run into an old friend I had not seen in many years, and I did.

And lastly, certain locations make me feel really uncomfortable... Such as my father's house. Upon further research, we learned that there had been a death in the house, and a woman I had had dreams about and seen in the house was the one who had died. The pictures were exact. This has happened in a few other places, and it has always confused me.

What I'm wondering, is if there is a name for this, or what these things could mean... It's possible that these are all coincidences and I'm prepared to hear that... I just want to know what it could be so I could possibly decide how to better use it... I would really appreciate feedback if anyone has any! Thank you!

Oh, yeah, of course those are coincidences...sure...NOT! You are more than empathic...do some online research about the different psychic gifts and how they effect a person. First thing is to learn to trust yourself and second to not fear what is happening. The basic information is out there. When I first started finding information I read some of Sylvia Browne's books and learned about her history. No, I don't follow her, but she does have some very good basic information. Probably some on this site too.

Thank you so much! Yes, that's what I've been suspecting but I didn't want to jump to conclusions too quickly.

Go ahead and jump before you're old. Follow your understanding and don't let people tell you that you don't know anything or are crazy.

I've always just been really connected to everyone and everything. It's actually caused me a lot of problems, so I would love to learn how to utilize it.

First step is taken...you realize it's happening. Second is to stop fighting it and look it straight in the eye and ask what it can be used for. What benefit can it be to other people and to you. It is a good thing and only bad if you "see" it that way. Awareness is very helpful.

Yes, thank you :) It's starting to make more sense to me the more research I do!

Normally, it's a one shot thing. Suddenly, I just know things. It's always freaked me out a little bit, I admit.

Thank you for sharing your story.

May I ask, have you gone further into the study of how deep your claire's (clairaudient - clairvoyant etc) go? Have you applied lucid dreaming to your "dream true" ability?

Honestly, I haven't tried anything yet. Right now I'm just trying to confirm that this is indeed what's going on. What do you recommend I look into?

Hey Z nice to see you did repost this here.

These guys are great by the way and they live with and learn from there own personal experiences.

Now to answer your questions, like I said in your first discussion you are definitly an empath from your being hyper aware of people around you, the feeling part is a definit empath thing, now the know what they think thing maybe you just being able to figure it out from knowing what their emotional feelings are and putting one and one together to just know what they almost certainly are thinking, OR you can actually "hear" what they are thinking. The biggy is figuring out which it is.

I personally figured out which and what I was by first learning to control the empath part of me and well dimming it to the point that I knew I wasn't picking up their emotions to figure out what was most likely what they where thinking. So when the damn I knew they were going to say that thing happened, I knew it was because I had "heard" it and not just put one and one together to figure it out.

Now the dream thing. Well it isn't my strong suit. But on rare occasions I get a wham you listen to me dream and they are pretty clear on who, what, when and how something is going to happen. Because it isn't one of my stronger abilities, I always listen to them with out questioning myself. I have attempted lucid dreaming and have had some success with it, but I know it's not one of my stronger abilities so I don't really pursue it as much as some on here have.

Now the feeling uncomfortable at certain locations thing. This you should exercise for yourself to get to know what those uncomfortable feelings are and what each of them mean. A better explain that better huh..lol. Ok, just because a place creeps you out doesn't always mean that there is something "bad" at that location, but it does always mean that there is "something" at that location. But each of us are indiviuals and we all "feel" differently about everything. So you need to practice these feeling to know what each of them means to you. A personal example is like when I walk into a place and get a cold shiver I know there is something exciting going to happen at this location. So then I start to read my other feelings to figure out who, what, when and how this exciting thing will unfold.

Now if you need labels for all of these things, there is a ton of stuff on the net that will help you with all of that. I personally do not believe in coincidences. We are suppose to be feeling these things, we are suppose to know what people will do, we are suppose to know that there is "something" at some locations. All of these things are a natural and normal thing for humans, we have just buried it these last few centuries because of cultural pressures.

By the way, learning yourself takes time, so don't get impatient with yourself and if you have any questions just ask. We are pretty good at figuring out answer here in this group.

Thanks Kixs, I'm glad I did too :) Everyone has been very helpful.

I do believe I figure things out more by figuring out things through people's feelings. However, I have had countless experiences where I think someone is saying my name but no one has. It happens every couple of days, and sometimes every day. Normally it seems as if they're far away and sort of airy... Normally a woman's voice. Could this mean anything?

Yes, my dreams usually have subtle aspects to them that come true. Seeing a person, getting a phone call, going someplace. I've never had a really big dream, yet, just a lot of little ones.

I'll definitely be doing more research :) I'm really very excited about it!

Thank you so much for everything!
