psychic ability/premonition

[slipknotpsycho]

do you believe in it? not nessicarly that said person that has the gift can just like snap a finger and see into the future (mrs. cleo lmao..)

but do you believe some people see into the future, even at the slightest level?

i know it's real, as i have it... just curious what other people truely believe...

me personally, i get dreams all the time i won't really remember the dream until later, until what i dreamed about comes true (and it's rarely something big... but too specific to just be coincidence)

like i'll be playing a game, listening to a song and then my wife (or someone else) will say something to me.... in my own head before they're done talking i can finish what they're about to say... as the first word they mentioned after the other two factors fell in place just popped back all it once and i remember that i dreamt it..... and no i'm not confusing it with deja vu...

i also have a really bad habbit of saying things (again, far too 'random' to just be a coincedince) other people are thinking... not word for word, but may as well be... like "i hope he jumps off a cliff" may be the exact wording someone else is thinking while i pop off with "i wish he'd jump off a cliff" (just an example)

both are a pretty common occurance honestly... which is why i believe it to be some untapped power/capability of the human brain... i honestly belive some people have a slight 'unlock' on the ability while others are still locked in the time lock safe at the bank... i don't believe anyone can control it tho.... like i said, it just happens to me randomly i don't try to do it, and no matter how hard i try to make it happen, it won't. it just pops in there so to speak..

so what do you believe? do you believe me and people who claim the same are full of shit or do you think it's possible?

im kind of 50/50 on the subject. i understand and agree with what your saying. but there are way too many people that falsly claim that they are psychic, can speak with ghosts, or predict the future. every time i hear people claim stuff like that i get mad. do those people love the camera that much?

[Matt the Funk]

I believe it. I think DMT has something to do with it.

probably

i've never went infront of a camera tho.. o.0 or claimed to be able to use it at my own free will (it's really kinda burdensome, especially if you take into account alot of my dreams are nightmares since my brother died... it can be stressful)

i've never been face to face with a ghost either

telekenisis would be fuckin awesome tho... if you could control it... screw sending your old lady to get a beer, you could just float it to you lmao

i've even taken those psychic tests online... =/ still fail... with an amazingly horrible rate too...

damnit figures.. now i can't find the site (it was an actual site that had a multitude of tests that you had to sign up to to keep track fo your stats)

one of the basic test was :

Psychic Test and Quiz - Shapes - Test your Psychic Powers

another involved clicking a box on your screen (about the size of the advanced type window) and trying to pinpoint where the predetermined dot was...

and no i don't really hold any of it to merit.. lol... i just htought it was funny i basicly flunked so horribly... i probably coulda done better on all the test by closing my eyes and randomly clicking around

[king of the world]

so you are in some way a psychic?

[rebgirl420]

I dont believe in it. I think people misinterpret their natural gut instincts as being psychic. Or when you dream about something and it happens a few days later. Its not being psychic to me. Instead theres rationale explanations for these things.

[slipknotpsycho]

i believe so.... do you have another explination to having dreams then later actually living them (again, nothing major, mostly simple things, but exact words/images are there) or being able to nearly quote someone word for word (has happened alot....) before the words even pass their lips?

i don't claim to be able to read cards or look into a globe or anything... it just kinda happens... like it or hate it tho, i'm stuck with it.

and damnit i didn't want this thread to turn into a 'about me thing' lol i wanted to know what everyone thought...

supppose i shoulda just left it at the poll?

i'm more than intrested to hear them o.0 cuz the only thing i can contribute the dream thing to is psychic-ism or premonition.... or the feeling of 'hey i dreamed this before' could be deja vu, but as i said it's not that... once everything falls into place, i remember the dream to a T... (it's also only short clips... not like whole days... like 30 seconds - a minute long, if that helps/supports your theory)

i some times have dreams that at first i dont understand what it was about. but later on it happens in real live, and im like damn my dream predicted this whole event.

Exactly, de ja vu. I think everyone has dreamt things that have happened. I know I have. I do it alot. But its just de ja vu.

déjÃ* vu, deja vu

déjÃ* vu
DéjÃ* vu is French for "already seen." DéjÃ* vu is an uncanny feeling or illusion of having already seen or experienced something that is being experienced for the first time. If we assume that the experience is actually of a remembered event, then déjÃ* vu probably occurs because an original experience was neither fully attended to nor elaborately encoded in memory. If so, then it would seem most likely that the present situation triggers the recollection of a fragment from one's past. The experience may seem uncanny if the memory is so fragmented that no strong connections can be made between the fragment and other memories.

Thus, the feeling that one has been there before is often due to the fact that one has been there before. One has simply forgotten most of the original experience because one was not paying close attention the first time. The original experience may even have occurred only seconds or minutes earlier.

On the other hand, the déjÃ* vu experience may be due to having seen pictures or heard vivid stories many years earlier. The experience may be part of the dim recollections of childhood.

However, it is possible that the déjÃ* vu feeling is triggered by a neurochemical action in the brain that is not connected to any actual experience in the past. One feels strange and identifies the feeling with a memory, even though the experience is completely new.

The term was applied by Emile Boirac (1851-1917), who had strong interests in psychic phenomena. Boirac's term directs our attention to the past. However, a little reflection reveals that what is unique about déjÃ* vu is not something from the past but something in the present, namely, the strange feeling one has. We often have experiences the novelty of which is unclear. In such cases we may have been led to ask such questions as, "Have I read this book before?" "Is this an episode of Inspector Morse I've seen before?" "This place looks familiar; have I been here before?" Yet, these experiences are not accompanied by an uncanny feeling. We may feel a bit confused, but the feeling associated with the déjÃ* vu experience is not one of confusion; it is one of strangeness. There is nothing strange about not remembering whether you've read a book before, especially if you are fifty years old and have read thousands of books over your lifetime. In the déjÃ* vu experience, however, we feel strange because we don't think we should feel familiar with the present perception. That sense of inappropriateness is not present when one is simply unclear whether one has read a book or seen a film before.

Thus, it is possible that the attempt to explain the déjÃ* vu experience in terms of lost memory, past lives, clairvoyance, and so on may be completely misguided. We should be talking about the déjÃ* vu feeling. That feeling may be caused by a brain state, by neurochemical factors during perception that have nothing to do with memory. It is worth noting that the déjÃ* vu feeling is common among psychiatric patients. The déjÃ* vu feeling also frequently precedes temporal lobe epilepsy attacks. When Wilder Penfield did his famous experiment in 1955 in which he electrically stimulated the temporal lobes, he found about 8% of his subjects experienced "memories." He assumed he elicited actual memories. They could well have been hallucinations and the first examples of artificially stimulated déjÃ* vu.
