Dodie, I have done this all my life. Not always dreams, but sometimes when I'm awake. I used to think that if I told someone, it wouldn't come true (good or bad). But doesn't really matter much. I was always told I "saw things" like my G-Grandmother. She was Chahta. My Mom-in-law is Cherokee and she and her mother both do the same thing. It's good that she understands me. The family pretty much doesn't doubt us anymore. Quick story: The other day, I was doing dishes and I heard someone say "Chris, I've cut off my finger". No one was in the room by Chris (my husband) and I. And I still had my fingers. The next night, my brother in law was trying to open an "exacto" knife. I said, don't do that and explained why. He promptly handed the knife to my husband and wouldn't use it. It feels good to be taken seriously now and then. Shelley
I always "sensed" things from birth and thought everyone did so I never mentioned it. I just knew things before it happened. When I was about 20, I found out everyone didn't do it then I really didn't like after that. Now it doesn't bother me seems like when I became aware everyone didn't do this, my it wasn't as strong.
