I just learned the correct names for my, what I thought were mental disorders. I knew some people believed in this. I had no idea this was available. Thank you!

Below some things I can do, I can't control any of it. I do meditate as my form of therapy. I take no RX. I journal my experiences, over my lifetime too. I can tell no one till now.

I can actually feel my Daughters emotions and physical pains. She can do same with me, if I'm hurt or in any pain or thinking of her. I've got to keep my distance now, unfortunately, she has cancer. It sucks to have cancer cause I can feel the physical and emotional pain of it. We're several states apart but I can tell you if it's her when the phone rings.

I hear and see both future and past events. For future, It's never clear till after the event what I knew about it. For past, It's easier but I never know why I know things that I should not know so much detail about. I don't know how it happens. I used to brush it off as coincidence or ignore/question, myself/feelings, reality.

I lucid dream. Before I learned of my last pregnancy and every night, or nap, from then till birth, I had the same dream, but variations on who I was, where I was, it got to be that I started playing, interacting with the dreams. I tried changing the outcome, but I could only prolong them from finding me. It was like I was a time traveler. Every night I was in a different country, century, person. The dream was always pretty much the same playing out of a question. I always answered same answer. These days, I have nightmares. Any way for me to know if I should persue remembering my dreams? When I do dream-remember, it's pretty scarry.

I could go on, but why. I have a question, please.....When I'm going to leave my body, I can feel it coming, like a physical sensation of going down stairs or escalator. It's not fun. How do I remember it? I've always called this dissociating. I go somewhere, but I don't know how to stay with it & go too?

Is there anyway to learn to control all of this, without doing it like a job? It's always seemed like I'm different. I know I want to keep it. It brings me joy, too. Are there people like me, here? Thank you for not calling me a freak.
