BBella,-I am so thankful that you posted these experiences, even if I am a few years behind in reading them(I only joined this site a few months ago). I have a few experiences of my own that people don't understand, or just won't believe.-1. When I was 16, a friend of mine was shot and killed. Nearly 18 months later, after I graduated high school and was preparing to enter college, I had an extremely vivid dream(for lack of a better term). I was sitting in my 12th grade English classroom. My friend walked in and spoke directly to me, saying "I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me anymore." I remember waking up right after that with a sense of peace that I had not known until that point.-2. I somehow just know if a pregnant woman is having a boy or a girl. The woman has to have some connection to me, even if remote. One time, a relative of a friend of my sister's was having a baby, and started having complications. My sister called me and wanted to know if the baby was a boy or a girl(the mother-to-be had not had a chance to find out yet). I could feel the connection, but didn't want to tell my sister what I felt. The baby was a girl, but wasn't going to make it. I later found out that the baby girl did pass away a few hours after her extremely premature birth.-3. My significant other's grandmother was diagnosed with cancer over the summer. We got a call on a Monday that she had taken a drastic turn for the worse, and probably would not live out the week. I had a dream on Thursday night/Friday morning that my SO and I were in our living room when my phone rang. It was his grandmother(I had talked to her on the phone several times, but never met her in person), and she identified herself and asked to speak to my SO. She told him how proud she was of him and how much she loved him. We got the call on Saturday evening that she passed away very early Friday morning.-I have never been bothered by these occurrences. In many ways I am glad for them. They are not really close together. I can also feel what others are feeling. I don't mean sympathy or even what most people call empathy. I think it's what Mercedes Lackey calls Empathy(capital "E" is necessary). -Thank you again, BBella, for sharing your experiences, and thank you to everyone else for allowing me to share mine.
