And no, it cannot be me, I have no parts for childbirth.

I have had several experiences like mentioned above...dreamt of my daughters birth, dreamt of another family members birth...i dreamt of a plane crashing into a high rise building we have here...this a few years before 9/11..that day i had the most horrific flashbacks of that dream..even to the point of the plane going in sideways..

i dreamt once of being in the pathway of a tornado, and that a mystical figure appeared and pulled me to safety...2 years later, this past spring, i was driving with my daughter, and indeed found myself in the outside wall of a tornado...i could not even see the car in front of me, but i kept driving, hearing a voice telling me to "keep driving amanda" ...we were in the path of the twister, but drove away from it...remember that Amber? i kept having to log off because of the warnings around me and we thought Emily's father was missing??

i have posted recent dreams of mine...

and i can read some peoples auras, if they so allow me to...the most unsettling aura i have seen so far, was a child i encountered in the grocery store, she was about 4 or 5 years old, with her parents i assume...she was pushing a child cart and putting things in it, so sweet...i was watching her as i pushed my cart around and thinking how sweet a child..i was only seeing her back...in an aisle, she stopped walking, in the middle of the aisle and turned around to look at me...she tilted her head to the side and smiled at me...

in that weakened smile, i saw her...her parents or whoever these people were, were abusing her..slapping her angelic face i saw the hand across it, i saw her crying and i saw the woman screaming silent words at her...

i walked out of that store, left my cart there in the middle of the aisleway and went home and puked...

i did not know what to do, for who at the police station would really believe me?

at that moment, i realized what some call this a "gift", of just what a "curse" it can be as well...

I apologize for it taking me so long to respond (to both this post and your generous analysis of my natal chart re: career).

Hm, my NDE...
It wasn't a "full-fledged" one (ie. - "I headed towards the light, I saw dead loved ones," etc) but it was enough for me to not be an atheist anymore (and perhaps that was the point).
I'll leave out the silly details, so I'll just say that I was trying to surf on the Atlantic when there was a Hurricane off the coast with waaay too little experience, & that afterwards I was in shock for a bit and looked like I had been through a mill for a while. I healed-up nicely, though.
I'd say that it was just an instance of getting knocked out of my body b/c of sheer terror except for the fact that my life, literally, did pass before my eyes; but not in any kind of hurried or superficial way - the entire thing played-out kinda in front of me but also around. It was like I was there, but not just myself (if that makes any sense). I could feel everything that both I and everyone around was thinking and feeling simultaneously, but I can't say much more about that particular aspect b/c it's all muddled now.
Going back, though - I re-experienced the whole thing, but in a matter of at most minutes (or I would've drowned - I was being dragged along the sea floor by the the combined effects of the riptide and the undercurrent of the huge wave that I missed), while to me it seemed to take place in "real time".
To be honest, I can't remember many specifics besides that beyond the feelings that I got. I think that I remember being "above the action" for a while, but that's about it as far as that goes.

I DO remember, however...a whole bunch of stuff that's really difficult to describe.
There was this sense that time exists, but "isn't" - that it's not the true nature of things, of existence.
I also felt, I dunno, "bathed in love" - a cliche but apt enough description. The closest analogy would be that it felt like the air that I breathed. I felt no fear, and knew that there was never any reason to ever do so. It would've been nice if I could've held on to that feeling.
And I have always felt like I think through molasses - that the speed and complexity at which I think is NOT the way it's supposed to be -, but when this happened I felt that my thinking was finally freed from constraints.
Everything made sense.
There's more, but there are no words.
It was the best experience of my life, and I wouldn't trade it in for anything.

I'm off to re-read your comments on my chart...

One thing I personally count as an astral experience is (ready?...) when i'm listening (really, dont laugh!) to some of my favourite kinds of music.

my particular preference happens to be electronica.

I have vivid dreams but never prophetic.

Generally...I'll just be going about a "normal" day when I'll get the feeling. I mostly pick up on negativity...which is disturbing to me....it makes me quite aggitated and I'm difficult to be around when it happens.

I remember not too long ago...my brother didn't come home form work...it was a friday night....he never called to say if he was going out...I went out to karaoke with a girlfreind but was plagued by this awful feeling about my brother....the feeling I got was that he was in a bad situation...I just kept thinking of "drugs"....my brohter has never been involved with drugs....I was so disturbed that night that I had to leave the bar where I was with my best girlfriend....just because I had this awful feeling.

As I approached my road...I prayed that I'd see my brothers car in the driveway....it wasn't there....

He came in about 4AM...I was asleep...he gave some crazy story to my parents the next morning....but then he pulled me on the side and told me what REALLY happened....he had a blind date with the girl and through the course of the evening...she called her dealer to make a buy....put my brother in a position he didn't want to be in and wouldn't have chosen to be in....so once they got to the club where it was supposed to happen...he told her he had to go to the b-room...but instead he left and caught a cab back to where his car was.

True story. I don't tell most people when stuff like this happens because they look at you like your crazy...and then they ask you to pick the lottery numbers...but I think those of us that have this ability...we are chosen to deliver needed messages.

It doens't happen for me every day.
I never have to concentrate to get messages...and it doesn't happen all the time...but when it does happen...it's generally related to something bad. My family is used to my being this way and they have learned to trust my instincts...especially when I get a bad feeling about something.

if I could use one word to describe how it happens for me..I would have to choose "POOF"....because that's what it's like....I could be sitting at my desk...when the "poof" occurs...or going to the bathroom or in the shower when the "poof" occurs.

I've been aware of spirit all my life and have been sitting in circle for a number of years...I've sat, on a number of occasions, with a very good trance medium and on one of these occasions, whilst he was channeling his Guide, I asked him to explain 'deja vu' to me.....

The Guide explained to me that prior to leaving the Realms of Spirit and before we arrive on the Earth Plane...we draw up a blue print of our forthcoming life...we include in this all the people we are ever likely to meet, every daily occurance and situation (big or small), as well as the family we have chosen to be born to etc....This blueprint becomes deeply imbeded within our soul and once we are here have no memory of it. Except, during the many occasions that we experience 'deja vu'...at the time when you have such an experience of familiarity of a place, situation or person (s)....this is your souls way of telling you that you're right on track with the blue print that you drew up. The sense of 'deja vu' is exactly as you wrote it, in terms of situation, time etc...

I hope I've explained this well enough and that it gives you some food for thought.

Sounds to me like you was either about to embark on a night of Astral Travelling or you was just on your way back and woke up too soon

I posted a reply to this thread last week but for some reason, it didn't get through. I'm gonna have another bash and hopefully you'll get it....

I noticed that some of you mentioned deja vu and I wanted to share something with you on that subject that was explained to me.

I'm Clairvoyant and have been aware of spirit for as long as I can remember..I've sat in a physical developement circle for a number of years with some very talented mediums and wanted to share the following experience with you.....

A few years ago I sat in circle with quite a famous trance medium who was channeling his guide Magnus. Those of us sitting at the time were able to ask Magnus questions relating to life in spirit etc etc..When it was my turn I asked Magnus to explain why we experience deja vu and what it is. This is what he told me....

He explained that before we embark on a new life here on the Earth Plane and whilst we are still in the 'Realms of Spirit' we each draw up a 'blue print' of the life we have chosen/decided to lead and contained within this 'blue print'are all the people that will ever cross/be part of our lives, situations and circumstances that will arise, dates, times, places. In fact, everything that ever happens in our daily lives, we write into this 'blue print'....At the time of our arrival onto the Earth Plane, we have no conscious memory of what has been written because it becomes buried deep within our souls at the time of birth...

So, we embark on life...From time to time we will experience what is called deja vu and basically what this is, is that we have hit a time, place, situation, that is exactly 'spot on' with what is written within our blue print...we have no conscious knowledge of this but because we are 'bang on target' with our life plan, a chord is struck within our soul and we are suddenly aware of some vague memory/feeling that we have 'been here before'....Voila! Deja vu!! Obviously, the above isn't written word for word as Magnus explained it to me, but that's basically the gist of it...It made a lot of sense to me at the time. It may or may not with you...It was just something I wanted to share as it might strike a chord with some of you.

Sounds to me like you was about to go Astral Travelling but woke up to soon!!!

But this is one of the silliest, oddest and most inexplicable to me.

Several years ago, I woke up still fully dressed and not in bed, and realised I must have gone to sleep, although the light was still on. To my surprise, I found a piece of paper covered in my own writing. (This has probably happened to many writers at some point). When I read it, I found some eerily fascinating poetry, quite in my own style; I don't think it was "channelled" or anything.

However, the weird thing was that at the bottom was a woman's name, Paula Silvett, not known to me and phone number. Thinking it a bit of a giggle, I rang the number next morning to see who would answer.

To my shock, a secretary answered and said, "Paula Silvett's office, can I help you?". I explained that a phone message has been left for me with Ms Silvett's name and number but no further information. (Naturally I didn't say the message was from my sleeping self!)

I found out she was an art expert, and was so exclusive that she did not have her phone number advertised anywhere or listed in the white or yellow pages. The secretary was quite angry that I had intruded on her privacy ... I don't have any links with the art world.

I think psychic experiences happen when our brains are relaxed and ready to receive info from the higher levels of the universe. I was having a lot of experiences a couple of years ago, but now they've practically stopped.

I don't know about anyone else,but I've never felt vulnerable when astral traveling. Also, why would you advise people not to go conciously? It's creepier when it happens spontaneously and there you are ,out of your body, and you don't know what to do.

I'm guessing it's the souls without bodies that like to travel around or the astral people like yourself. But the Higher Self doesn't reside there, must be at a higher astral level! Correct?
