Whats the story?

theg81der

Hi,

I always believed there was something blah blah but lately weird things have been happening. I keep seeing "orbs" and if I dream of someone, 3 occasions now - 1 was someone who was a very distant aquantance where I grew up no one I would have thought of or seen in 13/14 years, they appear the next day?? Also I feel a bit "odd" like colours look more vivid and stuff. Strange things used to happen occassionally - like I usually know when the phones about to ring or some other stuff like that but this just feels intense, kinda freaked out.

Could be coinsidence, could be not but I just wanted to know has anyone else experienced this? I`m coming up to exams and a bit sick also.

Thanks!

ps please don`t take this pìss I`m serious and I only want replies from people trying to help.

Also get that.I might not see nor hear a person in years,then they come into my thoughts, and soon after I end up bumping into them.

It might be possible you have psychic abilities that make you see such things. You can hone your skills even more by taking some help from expert medium.

considering how many channels there are and how many show episodes of the simpsons, thats hardly surprising.

Why does everyone these days think they are psychic or that they are haunted? I blame TV for that.

Its on 3 different stations that have different series rights so yeh im bleeding psychic right!!!!!!! ah no I always figured the episode was due around the time i thought about it:pac:

im must be psychic cus I knew you were going to say that.

I have about 100 channels and the simpsons are invariably on one of them.

Well thats the thing its not like soon after or something its within hours. I think a lot of thing people think are strange are coinsidence, me included, and I have never watch any psychic programmes on tv I think there bs. These things are too obvious to write of as coinsidence and I`ve never seen these "orb" things before and I feel just odd and like someone is watching me all the time and a bit like something is about to happen.

So so far now we`ve had the simpsons and the xfiles. Are you seriously suggesting taking advice from the xfiles, that is a made up story you do know that don`t you, they`re not real?

Look the only thing that makes sense is that emmm.... I don`t know maybe we`re all some how connected or we have much keener animal instincts than we think or something. Maybe anything, I`m looking for explanations or suggestions because I`m not blind and theres no possibility of coinsidence given the odds.

Ok take it this way - take what I said as read I saw "orbs" dailyand clearly lately and I keep dreaming about people and there they are hours later (in a different town where I now live miles away looking as they did in the dream not when I saw them last 12/13 years ago or texting me an hour later out of the blue when I thought of them for the first time in years).

Oryx

Rationally, you can always say its exam stress, coincidence etc. And that is always a pretty good place to start looking for answers.

But if you want a more spiritual explanation, there is one. Many people experience what you describe, and they would ascribe it to an opening of your psychic senses. The main thing is not to focus too much on it, just enjoy it when it happens, and accept the weirdness and otherwise get on with normal things.

I have phone numbers for people I havent called for at least the last six years. Its not unusual.

I don`t have her number because I`ve lost all mine 2 years ago. I knew her from doing a course 6 years ago and she had moved abroad afterwards. She text me to ask something relating to the course about an hour later, she thought I`d know and I did.

This can be known as your third eye - the third eye may symbolize a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance.
The third eye is often associated with visions, clairvoyance, precognition, and out-of-body-experiences. People who have allegedly developed the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.

In your case, you are now only becoming aware of your third eye.

not unusual for some - unusual for the rest of us though.

You speak for everyone else?

Why are you even picking on and trying to break down such a small part of the story? I know its easy to find pattern in simple coincidence. That could be the case here, who knows? But picking apart such small details is counter productive to discussion, imo.

Seeing floating spots or strings in your vision is perfectly normal and is caused by nothing more than part of the vitrious lining of your eye breaking off and floating across your field of vision. I get these most often if I'm looking at the sky. You may wish to get your eyes checked especially if the floaters are accompanied by light flashes as it can be a sign of a retinal tear.

and if I dream of someone, 3 occasions now - 1 was someone who was a very distant aquantance where I grew up no one I would have thought of or seen in 13/14 years, they appear the next day?? Also I feel a bit "odd" like colours look more vivid and stuff. Strange things used to happen occassionally - like I usually know when the phones about to ring or some other stuff like that but this just feels intense, kinda freaked out.

I can't offer any explanation for colours looking unusually vivid but this may also be something to discuss with an optician.

The fact that you dream of someone and then see them, or that the phone rings when you think of it, is simply down to confirmation bias. Simply put you remember the times when you think of someone then meet them shortly after, but you forget all the times when you think of someone that you then don't meet. Just think of all the dreams you had that didn't come true. If dreams were prophetic I'd be a lot more excited about the dream I had the other night that Neil Patrick Harris wasn't gay.

I get that thinking of someone/something and then seeing them/it soon after, it is known as the Baader Meinhoff phenomenon http://www.damninteresting.com/the-baader-meinhof-phenomenon/

20/20 vision and clear mri although I suffer migraine so am extremely used to strange visual thing - this is not like that which is why I posted here.

And I know what you mean - "don`t think about a pink elephant" or "look for red things in the room" now "whats green in the room" thing, I know its subjective but this is definetely not like that. The girl that was in my dream was as she is now - 13 years later last time I saw her she was a teenager and she has never ever come into my mind at all no reason to, it was kind of more like a deja vu.

I suppose I`m looking for explainations off people who understand that I`m not a complete idiot and if there was an easy explanation I would have thought of it.

Oryx

You are not a complete idiot. Ive had inexplicable stuff happen, as have many others who have posted here over the years. Yes, people come up with possible explanations, but they dont always solve it fully. You are the one who experienced it, so you know if the explanations really fit, or not. People here love the 'scientific method' but unfortunately in cases like this it can only be applied after the fact, and you can never know the answer for sure.

Ive always felt, and have said here, that there is certain small percentage of things like this that happen which are not resolved by the common explanations. Thats not to say its spooks or paranormal, but it is damn peculiar.

Urizen

OP, this stuff happens. I had a phase where I kept getting to the bus stop less than a minute before the bus came around the corner for like 3 weeks solid, at 4 different bus stops. Probably coincidence, as has been said.

IF, however, you don't think it's coincidence, you can try and develop whatever psychic powers you think you might have. Google PsiPog, that'll give you an indication of what I mean. I used to get stuff like this too, and after years of study and practice... Well, I still get it, more or less without change. But maybe you'll have more luck

And the orbs are nothing. They've been well and truly debunked these days, it's just your eyes frakkin with you. As everyone's do. You're just attributing more to them because of the other stuff happening.

I'm sorry if you felt that I insinuated you were an idiot, that was never my intent. I was merely trying to come up with more logical reasons for the phenomina you'd described than 'it's ghosts'. How was I supposed to know you have a history of migranes and accomanying visual effects?

Have you read the link about the Baader-Meinhof phenominon? It's well worth a read.

There was one thing I saw before which was truly not possible to explain in any way- My sister and I saw my husband somewhere he was not - now I know what my husband looks like, what he was wearing, he went to my car, his walk, his mannerisms, it was about 50 metres, if that, from me etc he was proven to be somewhere else although he felt he should be where I saw him pure bizarre. Have read a few peoples accounts like these when I was trying to understand. There is no possible explanation.
