Psychic Confusion?

I'm currently 19 years old. I was born in India but I descend from England. This is my story.

My mother is currently a big believer in religion but, before and until now, she believed and still believes in psychic abilities. She always had a sixth sense of things and as I was growing up, so did I.

At first, I would have twitch in my eye or a sharp pain, and something strange or bad would happen. It started with little things, then it stopped for a long time. I thought everything was over because I was starting to believe in it. I gave up, thinking it was just coincidence, but it came back. Twitch in the eye, and something would happen either that moment, or the day or within the week.

I am not scared of all of this, like I said my mom has it as well. I guess you could say I come from a long line of believers. In the past I would have some simple and small visions, where I would see myself in a situation and a few days later the exact situation would take place. Eventually I caught on and it would seem minutely different.

In the past, every time I felt a deep depression I would have a dream of someone, I have never seen or heard or even touched, even in the dream. I knew these were dreams just before I would wake up from them. Now however, after I set myself a few certain life goals, very important, those dreams have stopped but the dreams I get seems to feel more and more real.

Lately, however I've been experiencing visions, and dreams, vivid as this very message. First few seconds of it, I assumed it was real, but then I would realize that it was a dream and I could feel everything in it. Then I could control some things that were happening. I started researching about sleep and I found out exactly what was happening to me. Astral projection, is what it is termed.

I would like some help to identify exactly what am I. I would also like help in developing it so as to control it and help people. I believe that one person can make a difference in this world and together we can save it.
