I am 19 year old girl currently in college and for many years, I have had psychic tendencies but never put thought into it. For the past 5 years or so I have put lots of thought behind what could be going on. I will have a very RANDOM (emphasis on random since it is vital to my experiences) thoughts, usually when I am awake and very occasionally while I am asleep... Then it occurs within real life. I do not predict the future, but related scenarios will occur. These thoughts just pop into my mind with no triggers or visual cues. These thoughts are definitely from an outside source because I feel such energy when then come to my mind.
I should tell you all that these things I think of are oddly specific which makes me notice them more then other day dreams. They are not of bad or negative experiences, more just odd weird mundane things.
Usually if I think of a person or a event in my personal life, their name or the event will be brought up in conversation within the next 24 hours- a week. This happens several times a week, so I know it is not a "once in a while" by-chance thing.
Here is a REAL example that happened last week so you all can better understand what I mean: So has anyone ever heard of Thomas Rhett? Well he is a singer and not even my favorite singer, I do not ever listen to music honestly. So It would be very odd for me to think of a singer/person that I never listen too, have not heard their name/music in months, right? But I thought randomly one morning while doing home work "what if Thomas rhett and his girlfriend had a child?"... Isn't that odd? So a few hours later that day, while scrolling through Facebook I saw a video of Thomas rhett and his girlfriend cutting a gender reveal cake of their baby! It was a girl ha ha. But overall my point is that there was not way for me to know that and then a related situation occurred.
My question is: Is there anything in the psychic community that sounds like my situation? I really do not "sense" things, I clearly get powerful random ideas in my head then some RELATED situation will occur in reality, its always something related to my thought. IF there is, I would love to explore it further and develop any other abilities I can.
If anyone can help or provide insight, that will be SO helpful and very very appreciated!
-C. (no judgement about my example please, I know it sounds a bit odd but It was the best one for you to understand!)
In the beginning of my psychic life, I had random visions too. I think it's just a way for the psychic ability to fine-tune itself so you can receive messages with higher accuracy and with that comes higher importance (less random). Then comes the next step for you, which is when you are taking an active part in the receiving. You mentioned that you both receive messages in sleep state and awaken state but mostly in awaken state. For me it's the opposite. I get most of my premonition in dreams (and deep meditation). But I don't think that matter when it comes to receiving random images that you mentioned about. So to take a more active part in receiving, you simply ask questions in your mind. For me since I am more receptive in the dream state, I ask questions before I fall asleep and receive answers in dreams. So try that and see how it goes.
I hope that helps a little.
