The last few nights, have been restless. I cannot sleep and I toss all night. An uneasy feeling has come over me and I do not know what the problem is. Whether its my eternal mind or something in life that has effected me this way. The last time I felt this way was when my brother had past from my life and this feeling was so over whelming until the news came to me. I have called my mom (who has been battling cancer0 and my father and they seem fine. I just cannot shake this feeling.
My question to VR members do you think that we are so in tune with others that we can feel something about to happen with friends or relatives. Whether its something in their life’s sorrow or even the case of death; even over long distances. Much like twins have done in studies.
I believe we can...a few years ago I was in a car wreck and me and my sister are close and when it happened she said she felt a pain in her chest where the air bag and seat belt hit me then when ambulance driver called her she said the lady said Mrs. Holcombe and my sister said I know where is my sister at
I really believe that we can if we are close to the ones that pass. When my uncles passed away i felt like my heart had been ripped from a distance. That was before i knew that they had passed. It's possible, very possible that some of us are so tuned in that its like an overwhelming sensation none of us are sure about.
I do beleive that we can feel someone elses feelings, mood. I knew when my father was about to pass. I was talking about it to some friends, even though I was assured by my family that he was doing fine. An hour and half later, he was gone. I can also tell when someone close to me, is not feeling well.
i am amazed how connected we can be to others
i've experienced what you have described but only with a couple of people i have a had a deep emotional connection with for many years.
i think the perception gets a little hazy, at least with me, if it's with more than a few.
You bet your ass I do! it is instinct. When a loved one is ill or possibly dying or dead...you get a nasty feeling in your stomach. You aren't the only one. About a week before my ex dumped me, I knew it was coming...I even told my best friend it was going to end soon and a week later.....it did. Some of us just have a very strong intuition. And I believe you do as well.
Ok, since this topic has me interested, I think that I will add my little story.
My husbands step grandmother was on the decline and we all knew that she was going to die. The last time I saw her, and I was thinking that she only has a week left at most, and that she was going to pass very soon. Mind you I didn't really know this woman, and had only seen her a couple times before. The next week I was at work and I had this feeling, like I knew she had passed. My husband picked me up (this was back in march) at work and I told him that I already knew after he told me that he got the phone call the she was dead.
Im not sure if this just a twin thing but i think i might have had the same experience. It was during class when i felt this uneasy pain in my stomch and felt really dizzy. Along side with the thought of my twin or the sight of what pain he was feeling. Later that day i found out that my twin did have those feeling that for some reason i felt.
Passive observation, when we see a bunch of subtle things in a persons active life, we may not put them all together right away, yet later we may pattern them in a "spread sheet" in our mind. What was a simple variation in an interaction with an associete may stand out as a desressing inconsistancy. Socially astute people can not such things. The subconscious picks up on such things already, the conscious mind can be developed to do this activly.. detectives are a good example..
Certainly, some of us are more empathic than others. We sense things before they happen. That feeling of unease you feel is telling you something. If you could learn to channel your ability more you would have more of a since of what it is telling you.
That since of impending doom is never a pleasant one, I know been there.
On a different note Carl Jung speaks of all of us being contacted and when one is affected it affects everyone. However you are more affected by those closest to you.
I do for sure think that.. In family for sure.. I know when something bad happen with my mom or dad or siblings..
Yes I absolutely believe that this is possible. Empathic or not if you are very close to someone and its colse enough that you can feel their pain and such then you know when something is wrong. With family it is the same way. I have done this with several of my family members and friends. The overwhelming feeling that you have spoken of I have felt before and its enough to make one sick on their stomach. Or at least that is what it done to me.
i no exactly what you feel i really dont no if its some kind of unique feeling that everyone gets someone is hurt if some how we are emotionally tied to our love ones or just your gut saying something not right
The more routine the interaction of a person the more they notice the patterns of those around them, if those patterns change subtly an observant person can spot them. The creative process fills in the "Since that did/did not happen, what could follow, it works for good thing happening, as well as bad things happening.
I understand what you are saying dabbler, yet these people even my brother lives or lived several hundred miles from me and the interaction you state we did not see each other alot. just feelings of turmoil i have had as of late, i know my mom has had some several bad days with her cancer. maybe this is the feeling i am getting.
i can totally relate to this one
lately i have been waking at 4:o6am every morning for the past week...
i have never woken at this hour for so many days in a row...
i do believe that it is possible that we can feel or sense when something bad is going to happen... for instance..
i was driving home one night and i decide to go the long way... something about going the "short way home" did not feel right
i found later... by watching the news... that some trucker tipped over and killed 10 people.... i would have been dead if i chose to go the "short way home."
it also depends on how in tune you are within yourself.. if you have a better grip on yourself and where you are headed in life, then it is easier to sense/tune into other "bad feelings" or "troubled feelings" of others (loved ones)...
How often do you pick up on good things pending? I like to call that pro-anoia.. we always have a lingering concern for our loved ones, at times we are more alert then others, premonitions do have biological bases, it is not mandatory that a sense of potential strain in a family has to be super natural.
Though some would press this idea on others, something else that gets a mystic label is "The feeling that you are being watched, yet behavioral studies have uncovered a lead in that case already, it shares an area of behavior with what you are mentioning here, please understand I still agree this is a p phenomena, but a physical phenomena.. not psychic phenomena.
I think this is very possible
a very wise friend who has proven she has these tyes of abilitys and scences tells me daily to trust your feelings because your instincts will serve you well
I think it's very good advice
its deffinately help my self and the other Chosen very much
Yes, you can call it instinct or empathy or anything else, but I've lost count of the times it's happened to me, not only with people I'm in contact with regularly.
I am in tune with my family members mum dad and 4 brothers when they hurt so do I and I live the furthest away and the only girl.
Yes i belive so. Some people have sharper tones to realise it then others.
I believe people are sensitive to changes of someone close to them. My mom woke one night from a dream and right away she called her mom and told her an uncle had passed and this will be playing on the tv and he will be in his chair when you get there. What my mom had seen was all true. She has had a couple times where she can see certain things and she does get that gut feeling lately about her father when she gets the feeling she tells her mom to take him to the hospital. I went to a party when I was younger and didn't tell my mom well things happened and I needed to leave started walking down the street and she rolled up and said its ok to cry and I had a smile on my face she later told things that happened in the party that she wouldn't have known.
I feel we are all connected in one sense or another and the ones we are closest to more so. I know in my family we always know when one of us are in distress or sick before they even let us know. We as humans are a very complex species needless to say and connected as well in some sense or another. So we should always listen to our feelings and dreams is my opinion cause there sometimes is an underlying message there, fo rus to see.
I know when someone I love is sick or something wrong I also get a troubled feeling
I believe we are connected with others like this! I know I am connected strongly with friends and family. I was very close to my grandmother we had a very strong bond. She had been put in a nursing home and was there for awhile she wasn't in bad shape. January 26,2006 I was holding a full time job and a senior in high school I never woke up before my alarm went off. This day I woke up at 6 A.M. and I knew she was gone! My last class of the day I got a note telling me to call my dad as soon as I got a chance. I did when I got out of school and he told me she had passed.
So yes I believe we can be connected with people to know things like this.
of course I believe this. Know it actually. the reason for picking up on the bad things which are to happen or happening as opposed to good things is tht the bad things hurt..the good things are the fuzzy bunny feelings that dont make you sit up and notice.. but are there all the same. Sometimes the bad ones just smack the crap outta you so you'll listen
Of Course I Beleive It , Get A Knot In My Stomach A Feeling Of Dread And The Stong Sickning Smell Of Flowers , The Only Time I Get It Though If Someone Close To Me Be It A Friend Or Family Member
I believe it also because I can sense things when someone is in danger
I feel this is true. Exspecially with loved ones or ones children. I have felt this in the pass with my children exspecially when they were younger. I think the stronger our bonds are with someone the stronger our links are connected and we feel that sense of danger.
I think with the help of science and maybe medicine all that "feeling" can be developed , because the human being still has alot of potential , at least thats what i prefer to believe.
I think we can tell when something is going to happen thats good or bad
A yes to that one. Can tell when a family member needs me, may it be a call or more. We been like that as little kids.
Instinct, attached to creativity, and the exercising of the two funtions separtly and together, they put a detective on an MRI while he was "crunching" a case. The brain activity was noted. then they took an improve poet/comedian. and he did his routine noting his brain activity, a jazz player doing both improve rifts, and written pieces, know I would like to see a so called medium/psychic do a reading on an MRI I bet my life savings theat it will share caracteristics with the detective crunnching the case. Why atribute skill and actual physiology to a few "gifted people" when everybody has the base to be instictivly alert to thingsa that hint at distressing or even good news, I notice here the lack of I can tell when so and so is happy. It is always I think some one is having trouble.. why? becaiuse if you call a person and prompt with, I had a feeling you where in trouble, they can most likely relate a bad experience to you. Had we prompted the interaction with I had a feeloing something good happened they may say, yea I had a great week, perhaps even, I had a great week but I had a twisted ankle cut it short. The mind wonders sometimes it is led to conclusions, if you haven' tseen someone in a while you assume the worst.
We can be so in tune to things going on around and people that we get those foreboding feelings. The thing is do you pay attention to them or not?
I get them all the time when the ball is about to drop on something. You feeling like you have the butterflies in your stomach sick feeling, the restlessness, sleeplessness, and over all, your body and mind are so in tune to it, you become irritable, fearful, and you start calling everyone important to you to find out if everything is ok.
Sometimes the chaos can be diverted to where it is not so bad if you pay attention and listen to your gut feelings. Always trust your instincts.
I always get them when I am about to do something and if my gut tells me don't do it, well I have listened to that many times and saved myself alot of grief.
I think we are all connected one way or another. You maybe be more perceptive to whats going on around you and your family. You just might be upset about your mother, but I do feel we can all tap into whats going on with the ones we love. I know my twin nephews share something that most siblings don't. You just have a stong connection to you family. Thats a good thing, I believe.
I believe if you truly love someone you can sense when they are in danger.
I believe We can also..I too have nights like that but sometimes it happens to me during the day...And I dont think We actually have to love that person either...I can see a profile of one and get this strong sense of pending doom, or thats what i call it anyways..IDK
Yes it is possible to be so intune with people you care about to know if something is wrong. I have had the same experience.
i do believe that this is so very possible..my father and i had that closeness and somehow he always knew when i needed him..i would get a call maybe at 2 am and hed tell me he just felt something..and he was always right..
Is it because we have a close connection, or just super intuitive? I'm not sure, perhaps both.
Absolutely I believe that it be possible to be so in tune with another to feel their feelings. Often my dreams do the same as you are speaking dear. Those are the times where I just stay alert and check on those that I care about to ensure they are safe. Not much can be done about things like this aside from paying attention to those around you in hopes to prevent a devestating tragedy.
I believe it's very possible. I've gotten that nervous anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach for different reasons. The reason isnt always death, but it's not usually good. For me it doesnt have to be a person Im related to, just some one I care about or have strong emotions for. The last time it was overwhelming I made the usual round of phone calls and it turned out to be some one I hadnt spoken to in several years had had a stroke and was lifeflighted to a hospital.
I believe that if you are close enough or love someone enough you can feel when something is wrong with them even if you aren't close to them... I have recently experienced it.
I belive in things like this, I have had feelings of trouble and then later I find out, something has ahppend.
I for one know this to be true.Being an Empath can be over whelming. Causes some serious insomnia that for certain.
I too believe this is possible it has happened to me too with my husband's aunt her cell phone # just kept popping up in my head one day so i told my mother-in -law we need to call her and she had important stuff to tell her but i do not believe it only happens for bad reasons i believe it happens for good reasons too.
i do believe that we can be intune with what happens in others lives especially when it is something bad...
I have a very strong connection with one of my sisters and my mom and often find myself calling them when i have just talked to them the day before...usually something is wrong with them
Also I have some very dear friends who always know when something is wrong with me and will call or message me just so i know that they are there for me should I need them...
Families have a very strong bond. I believe that this bond can give you the sense when one of them are in trouble or danger.
Agreed...it has been known that some family members can sense when someone is in trouble or danger. A lot of the time it is a wee bit late but they still sense it. I also believe that if you have a really close friend you can sense it also.
I believe it's possible, but I tend to lean more towards Dabbler's point of view... I tend to think most psychic perceptions are from people who are extremely perceptive, astute or observant.
I do believe that this is possible and have seen evidence of it over the years both within my own family and within the families of friends.
I believe that it is a type of psychic bond that is created due the to closeness of family members. Something unbreakable in my opinion.
I think that the feeling that you're talking about - is god. I don't believe in God as this omnipotent guy who hangs out and watches over us - I think god is the feeling that links people together. God is the 'coincidence' that allows you to call someone on the phone JUST when they were thinking of you..god is the thread that makes best friends....
We praise other animals for being able to sense when something is wrong or something is about to happen. I'm sure we humans have the same capabilities, we might ignore them and push them away so we can form "logical explanations" for what is happening.
It's good to check in with your loved ones when you're feeling restless. Maybe something is going to or has happened. Or maybe you just need the reassurance of knowing they're ok.
So many little things can change what is going on inside of us. Even something you eat or the medication you took for your headache can make you feel different emotionally or physically.
I think the reason why we feel this way is our inner selves trying to tell us something - whether that be "Beware" or "Be Aware".
I believe that you are troubled because you have some unsettled business that you left undone somehow. Whether you are aware of it or not. Maybe someone asked you to do something for them and you never did it. This is what I am getting from your vibes. :)
Definitely. There are people that I am so attuned to, I can feel if something bad is going to happen, feel it when something happens, and sense their emotions. I don't know why this happens, but a lot of people I know have the same feelings.
i beleave some people are very much intone with others.
i know i experanced this feeeling you have as well before my aunt past away.i beleave when we get these feeling its our sprit who is trying to prepare use and warn us about a event that has happened already or a event thats going to happen soon.
Yes, I believe people are connected - especially with those close. I hope things go well for you.
Oh yes, definitely. My Mom and I were so very much in tune with each other. My husband and I are too. My daughter and I are too, now that I think about it. haha.....
Course, sometimes that is anxiety from something in the day that hasn't been resolved. That I can speak from experience too.
Yes I believe that we can feel the passing of other. especailly if one has empathic tendencies
yes. i have the same feeling when something is going to happen to me or my family... many times this feeling is wrong but sometimes it warns you
I honestly believe that this is a possibility even if you are not twins.
There are people that have such a strong connection with another that they can feel when something is wrong with them or if they are in danger.
It seems that when i have had something going on that has me upset my oldest sister always seems to pick that time to call and check on me.
Whether she is feeling something is wrong or what i honestly could not say but i have found it odd that times i am fine she does not feel the need to call really.
I tap into something, i don't know what but it lets me know when something is wrong. i noticed a few months ago that not just me but many of my friends all over the world were suffering instream insomnia, and i my self have had nothing but bad news pop up. since then 3 ppl have been diignosed with cancer and one is dead.
I believe you can, I believe some are more susceptible than others and what I find interesting is when it happens with friends rather than family members.
i believe u can. for sure i have had many episodes to where i feel very sceared and i just dont feel right, its like a warning or something. but you really do not know what it is thats the reason for u feeling that way, but when u do it is good for you to tell the ones u are close to , for them to be careful cause you just feel weired and u feel really uncomfortable, almost eveytime i get that way i say something, cause when the time comes i am not the only one who knew that something was going to happen... yeh it sounds a little bad but that way they know to listen to you next time u feel something
I happen to think that there are people you can be so in tune with its almost as if you think their thoughts. i am this way with my mother, she and i refer to it as being "freakishly linked" she knows me as well as i know her and at times we are inside the others head. that being said there have been times that i have felt sick or scared and even if we aren't in the same house or even the same state she always knows. go with your gut.
sometimes such things are pausible to connect with,and sometimes when one is in trouble one who is close to them can feel it,it just depends though,i believe.
I sure do sense trouble at times but it isnt all on base at times.. What i mean is a have feelings of trouble but then sometimes it is just a fluke.
I think some are. I know I am on some level. I have things thing where I don't like being touched by people that i have just met in any way because if the person that touches me isn't a good person my body gets off this weird vibe that kinda makes me sick and this horrible ery feeling comes over me that will not go away from nothing.
Example: One day I was sitting at the college and this young man came up to talk to me. He seemed kinda odd but I did not want to be rude and just talked to him to be nice some time during our conversation he decide it would be ok to touch me back. When he did so it left me with this terriable feeling of eriness like he wasn't someone that I would want to get involved with. He tried to get me to go and a date but I was not interested in anyway , since I had just came out of a relationship and still care for the person I was with. I saw him a couple times after that luckly he hasn't came back since.
But my point is yes in some ways our bodies and minds tell us when something is wrong or off. Now how they choose to do that is another story.
Believe when you care enough for someone you can sense if they are in distress. I have experienced it in the past.
I am a twin. I could tell when my brother was hurting and what he was feeling and sometimes thinking. I don't see why it would not be possible to extend that to others if there was a close emotional or spiritual connection to another person.
You can be in tune with others and feel something about to happen, this does not mean it is always going to be a death.
I advise you try to work on it more, you know try to open it up more and explore, try meditation.
tried everything and the feelings seem to grow each day, something soon i am sure will happen. and than i shall understand. thanks for the info from you all.
its said that twins can feel each othere emotions and know when things are wrong! so i should imagine close family members can have the same link? it doesnt just have to be a twin thing?
I have a strong connection with people feelings and can sense things on how people feel, what will happend and many things. I also can dreamstalk and calm nightmares for people or even reek havoc on people if need be..
I feel that certain members of our society possess these abilities, however, not everyone of us possess these feelings.
I think people flaunt their claimed powers way to much, I mean bragging about having glimpses of the future, or some esoteric gift, that allows one to connect with others, here we are in a rapid communication era, and people are waiting to hear from their friends.. yet all they call about is trivial matters, how about using those abilities to do something to better the world? Wouldn't it be the application of such "gifts" that matters? If I spent a day with someone that claimed to have such "connections" I would know how to test what they claim." when was the last time these people actually just called someone to say Hi, How was your day? As opposed to calling someone, either saying, or thinking.. OMG" I had a terrible feeling about you." of course someone can give you a case of something "bad" happening to them, we as humans, with behavioral patterns can even pick up on someones concern for us(it is in the voice).
Yes, I believe that you can have links with people and feel what they feel or what is going on around them at the time of events good or bad and sometimes feel day to day things and smile and think of someone, so it is very possible to feel their real pain and emotional state!
I have always thought we could. I have a strong link with my mother and some of my closest friends. We all seem to know when one of us needs the other, regardless of distance or time spent apart.
Yes I believe that people can sense and be bothered by things in other peoples lives. It used to happen to me all the time. I would just know or at least have a feeling that some thing was going to happen to some one before it happened. But I stopped caring about people a long time ago so I get those feeling a lot less now.
good luck sorting it out.
I hear no cases of, I had a feeling someone was having a good day.
I believe we can. I had a friend that lived in a different state then me & we were talking in messenger & he typed ouch. I felt the pain & told him which finger it was that he just got a papercut on. He couldn't believe it.
Frater, I would trade you in a heart-beat. I have blood-sugar troubles and sometimes I get paranoid. It feels worse than a bad drug trip. I would trade you any day.
Absolutely. Everyone has psychic abilities but not everyone developes it. Some people are more sensitive than others. Perhaps what you are feeling is connected to another...perhaps someone very close to you.
I believe it is possible. For about a week I kept having feelings of uneasiness and reoccurring dreams resulting in my father's death. Unfortunately it came true. I've had other instances where I was right about my feelings so, yes, I do believe it's possible.
How about a feeling that someone you love is confused.. or perplexed. would you then call them (right at the moment) and ask "Are you perplexed?" I would bet there is a good chance that if they were not they will be upon answering your call.
So I present an experiment to those that claim to be connected to others.
The next time you get a feeling of trouble, simply call the person and ask, not "Are you feeling troubled." But "How has your day been?"
Calling someone and starting the conversation with, "I had a feeling that something bad happened to you," Is likely to prompt a person to reflect on a bad thing that happened." Now I know someone is going to say.."Well it was very clear to me," of course you want to believe you are sensative to those you care for.. but are you counting to much on some "Psychic" metaphysical connection rather then just practicing good old fashion communication?
Could be or it could also be a psychic ability which would involve any feeling that comes true, others would argue that it's just a coincidance and being paranoid.
Your instinct is correct.. In our past lives everything that we once was or have yet to become all visions, the feelings that go with them, in the present time you can feel what you once felt, or knew.. Its possible to have such a bond with someone. You will be able to feel before something happens. Do not ignore this, heed the warning as they are not always what they seem. However try to let it overwhelm you.
Cadrewolf - It has been 7 days since your last post on this. Anything come up?
Any female friends with children that you've spoken with? Any issues with other family members?
I believe that some people are born with empathy. And for some it strong enough to reach great distances.
I believe we can. I have felt others pain even with them living in another state.
Dabbler,
I have tried your experiment and on many people here on VR and knew when they needed me and asked them what was wrong and they asked ,"How I knew or we knew that something was wrong". Its simple depends on how strong a bond it is.
Now there are many skeptics out there, but an easy way to view this is just because you can not see it or explain it does not mean that it is not real.There are many things that are unexplainable and maybe oneday we will be able to explain all things, but we are not there yet!
That's why i keep an open-mind to alot of things unless I can prove it is false for a fact, but that is my opinion and we all have one.
Sure, I believe we can be in tune to such things. The problem is, can we affect them if we are aware?...and then should we if we can? My advice, take some pills to put you to sleep and deal with life as it comes.
I am truly sorry for the loss of your brother, friend. I've had feelings like this before, usually when the universe itself is restless. There could be several reasons for the feelings you are having; do you have a big meeting at work coming up? Or an event of some kind that you are nervous about? You may not feel the anxiety about something during the day because you are busy; however, at night you have time to think so feelings like this can be overwhelming and consuming.
If you wish we could talk in private about what is going on; I'd be happy to help ease your anguish as much as I can.
I am so sorry to hear of your family woes. I understand this and I definitely believe that you can be tied to them psychically. I mean, yes, of course! We all are bound to each other by a spiritual cord, in any relationship.
I knew something was wrong last year and called my brother to check on my Mom, but he didn't really. She passed away that night.
PS--Also, keep in mind that since your family members are going through such hard times that you could be getting their feelings mixed with your own and getting them confused as to who they belong to.
Also, there has to be some major anxiety about the future with them and so that could be a player too.....your anxiety over the situations.
I believe in this. It's happened more than once to me.
The most memorable was one time I was working with someone. We do construction so we are using power tools all the time. I had to run and pick some things up for the project, I hopped in the truck and made it about three blocks and something inside me said turn around. Go back. So I did .. I always listen to my inner voice.
I got back and my partner was sitting there , white as a ghost. Apparently he was cutting some lumber , and the skill saw jumped back , did a half moon across the floor and nearly cut his leg. Nothing serious happened , or at least no injuries. But something inside me screamed GO BACK SOMETHING IS WRONG..
That feeling of impending disaster is not only a premonition but can also be a self-fulfilling prophesy...the power of intention or focused thought on a so called "impending doom" can bring upon you, the very doom you dread.
