For some reason it's common for people in my mom's side of the family to have ESP, mostly precognition. My mom also can hear my thoughts, she says she doesn't READ minds, but that Aspies project their thoughts harder than NTs do. (My mom's not NT though, she has ADHD) I have SOME precognition, but it only happens when important things are going to happen to the people I love and just comes as daydreams or thoughts, not in a dream. I'm mostly more of an Empath, though I'm defidentally not the best. Instead of JUST knowing their emotions I can tell people's intent from just being around them, so I avoid the people who give off bad feelings. I can tell if someone has the potential to be bad the first time I see them, it really just depends on whether or not I chose to pay attention and not ignore it.
I know all of this sounds crazy, but this is real, it's just not COMMON. Those are two different things.
Do you guys have psychics in your family? Do you believe in ESP? Do you HAVE ESP?
Hi theaspiemuscian,
The form of communication over a formed connection can be so subtle that "conscious" humans cannot detect it (an "active" awareness floods out any "subtle" awareness theory). As a child, my "subtle" awareness of other individuals was both a source of amazement, and quickly a source of uneasiness, or fear, from other people. Calling such awareness as "psychic abilities" to "mind reading", cycles through with consideration and rejection in scientific studies, religions, and popular fads.
In childhood, I could amaze (often frighten) people by "seeing" their aura of colour surrounding their body as they were thinking of the colour. Other people involved demanded that my skill be verified, by the person writing down the colour they were going to think of themselves enveloped in, and some even tried to trick me by writing down the wrong colour to verify that I wasn't using was they wrote down as a clue to follow. Later, I discovered my great ability was grouped under the concept of the "Clever Hans Effect". Clever Hans is a horse that demonstrated that many horses are smarter than many people.

Some explanations included the detection of N-Rays: "The Horse of Mr. Von Osten"

I often wonder if sensitivity to very minor clues can be overwhelming to the extent of near necessary avoidance, or to avoid knowing too much (fear and anger are two common responses from people when they realize you know more about them than they wish to have had revealed indirectly). Larger sets of cultural conditionings involving colours are often exploited in the arts, and, for examle, I think Oliver Stone "inverted" the associations of many colours and "wrong" social situations in the controversial film "Natural Born Killers" for initially strong surrealistic effects.
The aura associated with deja vu can be spectacular also. Before my 50's, warnings of impending clusters of seizures would occur just as I would start to doze off for a nap, or for my night's sleep. I believe the warnings were specific minor simple partial seizures similar to aura. I could delay additional seizures by staying awake when I was younger, but when I would finally doze off again, the cluster seizures would start again, from weak to strong in a couple, to a few, hours, then stronger seizures during the next day or so even while awake. My dreams amongst the seizures would be very vivid and intense, most often very short snipets with intense fear, easily identifiable as dreams by the basic laws of physics being violated (somewhat like very brief scenes from (the older) "Nightmare On Elm Street" with no rhyme or reason (very brief ones in seizures while awake, often would be like snipets of the "Carnival Of Souls" (1962)(not the lousy 1998 remake LOL))). In the less frequent instances when fear wasn't the dominant emotion, my dreams could be much more coherent, and more challenging for explanations, as I could seemingly dream of reading a book, and ace a test based on the book in the near future, to having dreams involving people I didn't presently know, and have a spectacular deja vu when I met them in the future. Of some of my deja vu that have been spectacular, I still haven't figured out how I managed to already know the details of my classmates' lives at UNM before I even met them or knew of them, but there they were on the first day of class, and me, instantly knowing them and their details. Mere coincidence would be at tremendous odds, and the doctrine of infinite duplicate, or near, repetition in an infinite universe would be more plausible. A rationalist that rejects infinity has to call such foreknowledge, an impairment. Of course, life-long epilepsy makes it easier to reject the doctrine of free will, and replace it with predestination weighted maybe by Siger of Brabant's dismal doctrine of infinite permutations in repetition.
Most all the emotions of the dreams and partial seizures seem to be based in the Limbic System, and while the emotional sensations during a seizure are at the whims of the ictus in epilepsy, the post-ictal emotional sensations, and/or states, can often be manipulated with Pavlovian Conditioning by somewhat using conflicting sided-emotions of the left versus right sides of the Limbic System, and vice-versa (all the way to subliminal stimuli:
