Seeing the future a curse?

Well pay more attention to your visions....

Well pay more attention to your visions....concentrate...

[kakkarot]

you are given a chance to possibly change something, and you think that's a curse?

you seem like you merely need to pay more attention in order to harness it more properly

Yeah most likely, but sometimes they come too fast and in the wrong times to figure out what happens. Sometimes no matter what I do, I can't change what I see. There are way too many times I have seen what is to come with people and tried to help and save them but they never listen. But I do agree I need to concentrate and pay more attention to what I see. I just don't have the mind clairity I guess right now. Too much going on in too little of time. Any advice to how to reach a clearer mind to where I could concentrate and pay more attention to my visions?

[kakkarot]

well give it time too . no skill is perfected in a short time, especially the ones that come to you. sometimes there is a period where the ability seems chaotic and confusing, but as you get more used to it that should pass.

but in the mean time, try just paying more attention

Yeah true, right now is when it's been the most chaotic. It used to be when I was a kid it was random and rare, but as I have gotten older the more frequently it happens. Infact most of my life is deja vu but I don't remember it all till the time it happens. Then sometimes I feel stupid. I heard that writing your dreams down, just whatever you remember helps in the long run towards remembering more.

That's very interesting.. Perhaps it's not entirely fair to say he's lucky. Like every skill, it has it's pro's and con's. I can imagine how frustrating it is to get such a vision about somebody nearly getting murdered, and I also can see how you feel if you try to help, but nobody listens.. I do not see the future, I more like 'feel' it.. It's quite hard to explain. And I don't feel these complex things you can 'predict'. I've somewhere read that precognition comes in many forms. Everbody has precognative dreams but most people cannot remember them, and some remember them, indeed, in the form of a deja-vu. I have never met a person who had so many accurate precognitive experiences. My sister is quite skilled at it as well, she regards it more as a curse than a gift though..

First of all sorry probably the title wasn't the best to put, but it is how I feel sometimes. I wouldn't want to live without it but sometimes it drives me nuts. I have never heard of people having precognitive skills like mine. They have been growing alot lately, I don't know if they are just out of wack or what. However I am not as one with myself as I guess I need to be because I am missing the obvious it seems like then feel stupid later. My sister seems to be getting some of the same abilities too. So who knows maybe I am a first of a new breed, but was hoping there were some other people out there that have the same problems.

Have you ever managed to change the future?  I'm sort of interested to see if that kind of paradox is possible...

[twstedrage]

Well in a way, I change what is seen alot when I get warning visions. I see it before it happens and alot of times I can aviod it. As far are stoping things from happening I see way in advanced, sometimes I can't and other times I can. Although with somethings it makes you wonder like in the matrix where neo breaks the vase would he have broke it if the oracle said nothing? Just like would I have gotten the truck if I never saw it before in a dream. I was told by one person that was trying to help me that some things are just set in stone and others I can change. Sooner or later I would be able to differ the two, however I don't believe anything is set in stone that hasn't happened yet. Honestly I think it really depends on the situation. Like my friend getting almost killed, would it have really mattered if I realized what I saw sooner and told her hey this is no good, he was still in the car with her. However I have changed other things it just all depends on the situation and how much people trust me. It's kind of hard to remember the times I have changed, even when you try not to you always dewell on and the negatives stick with you more then the ehh whatevers. Hope that answers your question.

I was wondering if I am the only one or if this happens to other people. First off I see the future two different ways. It either comes in a dream form weither I am awake or not and I get alot of deja vu. The other is like warning visions right before something bad happens. What I have been getting lately is I don't know if I am too preoccupied with other things on my mind or what, but I totally don't pay attention or forget the meaningful things of what I see. For example my friend got almost rapped and killed. She called up my fiance and said she was driving a stranger home, right away I got a vision in my head of her getting strangled and thought nothing of it, well it happened but luckily she was ok. Next time was with my new truck, I saw that I got it in a dream a while back and when I went to think about getting a new truck I go I have seen this before, but seemed to forget the part where I got screwed on the interest rate, if I would have remembered that I would have said no. Then today at work I got like a prevision about going over this crossing in the work truck that I would get stuck, but I was too distracted and did it anyways. They are a few other things, however those are what stick in my mind the most. Sometimes my gifts seem more like curses. However I am so used to them it would be hard to live without them. Anyways is this just a me thing or do you have the same problem? Also any ideas on how to I guess be more one with my visions would help too. Thanks and sorry if it is long.
