I've browsed the forum a bit and having read some of your stories, I feel comfortable that I can share my own here, without being ridiculed or having my sanity questioned, as is usually the case. I'll be honest, I've questioned it at time too. My hope is that in sharing, you might be able to help me better understand, what it all means. I appreciate all your thoughts regarding my post, and am grateful for any and all feedback.

Ever since I was a child, I've had night terrors- I'm 23 now and they still persist. (I get about 2-3 terror free nights a week, if I am lucky. Some nights, I have multiple terrors.) In the last 2 years the terrors have changed, but up until then they were always the same. I'd see dark, shadowy outlines of 2 people at the foot of my bed. Two years ago my little brother was killed in a car accident and I no longer see the people at the foot of my bed, I have no recollection of anything I just wake up screaming. A couple of weeks ago I watched myself, from a high vantage point, sit up in bed and scream moments before I could feel the screaming in my throat... I know it sounds crazy, I've shared it with a couple people and been given 'The [your crazy] Look'. So that is what my 'night life' is like, but my waking life is just as peculiar.

I have seemingly random thoughts/ mental images run through my head, only to find out minutes or days later that they are not so random, but moments that have yet to happen. At first it would happen with my best friend and mom a lot, so I just figured it was from spending so much time with them. Then I moved 8 hours North of my best friend, and it continued happening. I'd know what she was feeling or what was going to happen without even speaking with her or being remotely close! It is at the point now where I can write down what someone is going to say or what is going to happen, before it does. (It is rare, mainly I don't make the connection in time and pass it off as a random thought.) It is happening all the time, and with everyone almost like it is getting stronger... I can no longer sit in a closed area (like a vehicle) without having others thoughts and emotions take over where my own thoughts and emotions are suppose to live.

I don't know what is more frustrating, being perceived as loopy or not having the support to figure it all out. I know what is happening because I am living it and understand that we all perceive life in our own way and cannot expect everyone to understand, which is just as beautiful as it is frustrating.

I do not live in fear of what is happening, how do I learn to control it?

Welcome. We have classes ongoing here on spiritual development. Finding your guides and learning to work with them is the key to control.

I hope that you will take some time and join up in our classes. I also have some tutorials in my meditation link in my signature below. They are free as well.

Welcome, Lifted Corners! You are in the right place, I hope you'll like it here. I can relate to some of your experiences, seeing myself from above doing different things during out-of-body experiences which happen to me quite often, I also can't talk about it to just anybody without being called crazy... LOL... You are safe here and surrounded by really great folks.

Hello Lifted Corners and Welcome.

Everything you're experiencing is normal, well normal for a soul who's waking up. The thing with nightly terror is beleive it or not, their part of a development program. Basically their roll is to give you the opportunity to overcome fear. You need to work with affirmations using them to learn how to control your thoughts . Thats what I did and it worked within 2 weeks of working with them I could control me fear.

Balance, can you say more about these affirmations or provide a link? I know someone whose every sleep is filled with terrors.... in spite of being the bravest person I have ever met.
