Advice for tapping into more of my potential gift?
Hi reddit, I'm hoping this community could lend me a little advice; I know that I have some sort of ability/sight and I am looking to understand it and tap into it a little more.
Most of what I have experienced is through dreams - I've dreamt situations and random things that have come to fruition soon after. More notable are the dreams where a loved one or pet who has passed visits. Those dreams are SO real and specific and never get "fuzzy" upon waking like regular dreams do.
An example is after my grandma passed, I had a dream that I walked into a dark void of a room with these light beings - my grandmother and her sister(my great aunt) were seated in a semi-circle of chairs with the beings. My great aunt died at least 15-20yrs prior to my grandmother - I was a kid when she died and we were never close. But nonetheless, she was in this dream seated next to my grandmother. My grandma looked very confused and stayed silent, but my great aunt took my hands and thanked me for visiting my grandmother on her deathbed and for staying by her side. She told me that she would take care of her now. I get goosebumps every time I think about it. That same great aunt came to my mom in a dream shortly after she passed all those years before (makes me think this spiritual stuff could be genetic?)
That is just one example, I could go on π I've also had dreams of people that I don't know that are just as vivid and 'real' feeling- when my ex moved into a new house, the very first night I stayed there I dreamt of a man standing in the bedroom doorway watching us; not in a creepy way, I could tell he was confused. He said, "I don't know you", so I told him my ex lived there now and he just said "oh okay" and walked off π¬ I guess he just wanted to meet his new tenant? π Also dreamt of a woman in that same house afterwards - she was standing right by my side of the bed, leaning towards me; but it was the same thing, I could just tell she didn't mean any harm, she was just curious. I heard some weird noises in that house a lot, but I never saw those 2 again.
I also sometimes just 'know' things...Ive often had a sudden urge to leave an area or situation just for something bad to happen right after. When I was a kid I remember suddenly leaving my seat at the kitchen table mid breakfast; I walked a few feet away and couldn't remember why I got up, only for the ceiling fan to come crashing down directly on the seat. I got some glass in my foot, but it could've been much worse. Again, one example, but I've got quite a few of those stories.
Anyways, I just know my experiences aren't the most normal...and I feel really drawn to lean into this spiritual realm more; it feels like a gift I'm not fully utilizing. Any and all advice about where to start is welcome!
Thanks in advance π»
