For me it's temporal, comes and goes, and I'll have to bring up an example to explain it.

In most cases, it's around 9.30pm, my mind has settled down for the day- children are asleep and I'm usually getting ready for bed, I feel sudden burst of sense impressions and vivid mental activity happening (not related to the day, I'm not what I call "defragmenting.")

(FYI, I call it defragmenting, because it's similiar to what a computer does with information, at the end of the day I like to think things out and I feel better. I'm sure it's normal.)

So with these impressions, different from normal thinking activity- it's like I zone in on a person or event and with that so much is coming through, I literally want to lay in bed, eyes closed, still and analyse everything that is coming in, if I don't observe it, then it is simply passes by. It's a completely different reality.

By observing it I feel as though I am watching a stream of impressions relating to something and it could take minutes or hours depending and I definitely know exactly what I am seeing.

I like it when it happens, it makes me feel at home, comforted and I really enjoy closing my eyes and seeing as much 'stuff' that is coming in.

I can't turn it on, it just happens, I can't choose the subject matter although if something really bothers me it usually gets addressed pretty quick.

I'm thinking this is what actually happens during psychic episodes, I never quite linked the two until I realised I was receiving some impressions that I could not have possibly known about.

As for now, I rarely experience such things. I just have the normal sort of stuff- sensing atmospheres and emotions (which could be put down to other subtle indications on a subconscious level) or thinking about someone right before they ring or knowing who is calling before I answer the phone.

I know what you mean....it's like a whisper of images and impressions, that if you are not sensitive enough to notice, would not enter your consciousness and instead just pass you by.

It seems to come when you can really quiet your mind down and be still. It's like you catch some undercurrent that is always running through, but don't always notice or pick up on it until you make a point to become so quiet in mind an senses that it just appears.....becomes visible....yet it was going on that whole time.

No, you can't choose the subject matter, or turn it on, per se, but once you are in that flowing river....and conscious of it, it seems you can choose something to tune in on, or want to know more about and the images or claircognizance mixed with clairvoiyance will do the rest...

The other day I had a patient, long story, but his wife told me her tragic family's story of her daughter being terribly murdered when she was 17 in 1980.

All of a sudden I saw this beautiful smiling young girl, long dark hair in an emerald green dress...about 3 feet out and 3 feet above her head.

I told the woman, Sofia is with you and always will be....

Before I left for the night I got up the courage to to ask her if she had a picture of her daughter.

I don't know why I was having these dreams at the age of 7 or so, when none of these things had anything to do with me?

As for now, I rarely experience such things. I just have the normal sort of stuff- sensing atmospheres and emotions (which could be put down to other subtle indications on a subconscious level) or thinking about someone right before they ring or knowing who is calling before I answer the phone.

Oh, something that does happen often which seems really odd and pointless/ random is I'll see something in a dream, something really trivial, then the very next day the exact same thing I saw in the dream will appear on the television or in a conversation or somewhere like that, and it often seems a bit too uncanny to be pure coincidence, as the trivial thing I saw won't be something I think of often, but just came to me suddenly out of the blue! Like seeing a koala in a dream one time....I never think of koalas normally. Then the very next day I came accross an online article or story or something abolut koalas!

Those precog dreams I never had much as a child but later developed in my early twenties. I still get them but not very often. Something is happening while conscious, I can't say what it is but it's certainly interesting.

I get what you mean here, this type of stuff is common occurrence, I'd imagine you would fit in to this sensitive level too, heightened awareness ect...

Interesting. My friend is psychic too. She gets random images or videos of me during the day, I don't know I think it's called remote viewing & she pretty much knows what's going on in my life which SUCKS because I can't hide anything from her ( bye bye secret boyfriends haha) & I feel like my privacy is violated but it seems like she can't control it, it just comes randomly throughout the day. When i think of it, she reminds me of 'That's so Raven'.

I'm not psychic, but I do get dreams here & there that foretell future events. Example: Dreaming that my application got rejected for a job & getting the rejection letter the next morning. Dreaming of someone you haven't seen in years & seeing them the next morning. Dreaming that girls night out will be cancelled & aha receiving a text when you wake up saying that it is cancelled . Random stuff like that. Everyone gets them.

It's so subtle ..... like an underground river system that we usually just walk over without even knowing it's there.

Yes yes yes, you put it so succinctly, "like an underground river system that we usually just walk over without even knowing it's there."

Sure enough it was her I saw, and her mother told me she was id'd by her emerald green dress cause her face was beat unrecognizable.

and I cam across this part which reminded me of what may be happening or tuning into- it came in the flow of synchronicity.

There are various names for this locus betwixt the worlds, Jung called it variously the collective unconscious, the objective psyche, and the psyched unconscious-- referring to a more ineffable layer of the former. He thought of the latter as a place where the biological and psychological worlds share headwaters, where biology and psychology might mingle with and influence one another. Throughout human memory, this place--call it Nod, call it the home of the Mist beings, the crack between worlds--is the place where visitations, miracles, imaginations, inspirations and healings of all natures occur.

Though this site transmits great psychic wealth, it must be approached with preparation, for one may be tempted to joyously drown in the rapture of one's own time there. Consensual reality may seem less exciting my comparison. (HAHA INDEED) In this sense, these deeper layers of psyche can become a rapture-trap from which people return instead, with wobbly ideas and airy presentments. That is not how it is meant to be. How one is meant to return is wholly washed or dipped in a revivifying and informing water, something which impresses upon our flesh the odor of the sacred.

Each Woman (and man) has potential access to Rio Abajo Rio, this river beneath the river. (T similar to your post)
She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayermaking, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense alters consciousness. A woman arrives in this world-between-worlds through yearning and by seeking something she can see just out of the corner of her eye. She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of any of the arts. And even with these well-crafted practices, much of what occurs in this ineffable world remains forever mysterious to us, for it breaks physical laws and rational laws as we know them.

Lynn my friend was always a jittery kind of gal, walk up behind her and poke her and she would jump out of her skin. I could feel her terror, however momentarily, of her horrible death.

One day about a week after the deaths of Selena and Lynn, I was driving down the highway near to where Lynn was left to die.

All of a sudden, in the sky I saw Selena, looking down and more intuitively than actually, looking down on the whole universe with her gorgeous smile.....beside her was Lynn, lost somewhere in a dark place, scared to death, literally, looking for a way out.

WOW SC! Now if that's not a 'sign', I don't know what is. I mean the river beneath the river reference. That was the only way I could describe it, and here this lady is talking about it, in the same exact words! ??

I've had it hit me in a way that made me cry (premonition that indeed came true, because I pushed it aside, thinking I'd been silly). I've just *known* a lot of the time, although five years ago, when I was just wondering something in my head, I heard a voice in my head - calm, not the evil demon type of thing. I heard it again three years ago, when I was trying to get an answer to something. I heard two answers. One more time, I heard a voice as I woke up, telling me that someone was insignificant in my life - and I wish that I'd listened.

A couple of weeks before my dog was diagnosed with an illness, I looked at her sleeping peacefully next to me, and had the feeling that something was wrong.

I felt sad all day and night on my birthday, and the next day, the bombing in Boston happened (although me feeling sad isn't unusual anymore). I was taking bee pollen and I think it helped with my depression - since I stopped, I've been feeling worse again - so I'm hoping that will help me to distinguish between real warnings and anxiety or my own depression. If it continues to help.
