Obviously I'm an Empath. I have been shielding my ability for the past 3 years because it was too much to bear. Though as of recent I have been losing my control over these shields, and decided to turn them off altogether. Honestly I kind of missed it, and it's become more beneficiary. When I experience external emotions, it feels like the emotion, just not as "Genuine", if you will. (I recently saw a crush at church, said hi, and was more than excited to pick up on her being happy to see me!) But this isn't what I'm here to talk to you about.
As of about 3 weeks ago, I'm getting frequent dreams that come true. This isn't the first time, but almost every night I dream of something that happens. The real dreams almost always happen in my waking hour, and they almost always come true. From Facebook notifications to My grandmother getting into a car crash (She's fine, thank god!) I'm trying to figure out how to cope with these new scenarios. Is there any control? How do I figure out if something will happen?
Any and all tips will be welcome.
Symptoms of Empathy:
Positive Emotions make me feel like I could fly, I get warm and comfortable.
Negative emotions leave me with physical responses, like headaches or muscle pains.
These emotions always feel detached to me. I can feel them, but it's like feeling something through a glove.
I'm never good in places Like malls, where you can get mixed emotions from all directions.
And lastly, If I directly adapt to someone else's emotion (Most easily anger, as saying I take the emotional response as if it were my own emotion) I shudder it off, literally. I have a spasm in my torso and I feel an energy flow off of me. As I said, any and all help will be appreciated.
