When i was younger i was quite empathic and clairsentient. I say quite as how does one classify what is strong or weak universally with regards to psychic ability? I was however very susceptible to being drained by those around me, particularly my best friend at the time. I think it was partly because of this, and maybe because of age and increasing cynicism that i tried to forget my skills (if you can call it that). Nowadays, although i'm still emotional and empathic, i don't get so heavily drained by those around me and i'm far more stable (thanks in great part to a grounding meditation i was taught by a reiki healer).

So with that background i wondered what your views would be on my recent dreams. In one i wasn't myself (but i rarely am in my dreams) and i followed a child up the stairs telling it not to go up there because i knew there was something not quite right about it. The child however, disobeyed. I followed and saw the child in front of something...however before i could fully realise what it was i had shoved the child out of the way and told it to go downstairs. I'm not sure how to explain this but it's like everything in the room had an aura of purple tinged with red on the edges. I felt paralysed and completely terrified. I couldn't move and became aware i was dreaming and tried to wake myself up but couldn't. The spirit, i can only describe it as, wooshed towards me and said I SEE YOU, before i finally managed to wake myself up. The worst part was that afterwards i felt like there was something in the room with me.

This reoccured the next day or so, however when i saw the purpley-red aura and felt the onset of complete terror i managed to kick my leg in order to wake myself up.

The other dream i had the other day which i can't remember quite as vividly. I basically felt like i was hovering above the world, yet could see everything in one go and FELT everything in one go. This then diminished to only the pain. I felt completely hollow and in agony as though i was feeling all the pain in one go. I woke up crying and completely exhausted.

Now, normally i would tend to think that most dreams have at least some elements of the day you've just lived, and that your brain is trying to make sense of it all. However never before have i had these dreams and needless to say they're becoming very unnerving. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced these kind of dreams before or can reccommend anything?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif)
