Psychic experiences...

[msfledermaus]

I was on a thread a minute ago about psychic experiences someone had with her dad, which made me think about how I felt about the subject. I often have experiences that can't be explained easily and have no concrete motivations to be faked or used, etcetera. And yet the vehemence of some people I know about the subject frustrates me--the will not accept the idea of psychic stuff, period, won't even countenance the thought, and think I'm naiive and delusional to cling to the belief. I think that there's something in that hard line that still acknowledges the strength of the idea even when it is denied--anything that has to be slammed as an idea holds some kind of power in the mind to make it a point of contention.
I would like very much to hear about other people's stories, and how they felt about them. Or those of you who think otherwise and why.

Ms Fledermaus, who prophesizes that she will have green pea soup for lunch...(Okay, that's a cheap lie, I have the can in my bag, everybody ignore that!!!!:))))))

It bothers me too, that people are so vehement in their belief that there is nothing else but what can be proven by science as we know it.

I've had dreams that later came true. No serious prophecy, just images.

That's a kind of proof for me...

If we were just doing wish-fulfillment or some other kind of Freudian crap, wouldn't we make our claims much more elaborate? When I dream of the future, I dream of places and people I'm going to see later on--but not in a context that means anything to me but, "I'm going to be here." "I'm going to see this person." Nothing dramatic--sometimes it's subtle, like the way a a room is lit, a certain angle of vision, a brief glance.
I do belive that since our science is very advanced that we as a culture think we know everything. Not even scientists make that claim, but it is assumed. It's a bit frustrating:)
