I've stopped "researching", for the most part. My research was involving the paranormal, and it's extremely difficult to run an experiment with psychic ability when your subjects are all too willing to lie to you either so you'll think they're "cool and mysterious", or because they're a skeptic and want to "prove that you're wrong". Any "research" I do now is involving solely myself and the expansion of my limited abilities.
On that note, I read the Tarot, study my precognitive dreams, and try to find a way to control my "dreamwalking" which began about two years ago, which I still cannot control. The dreamwalking only occurs once in a blue moon, however, and I never know when it's going to happen, so it makes it hard to actually experiment with.
What I'm really interested in are two phenomena that seem to plague me - My "playbacks" (my term), and "Shadow People".
"Playbacks" are difficult to describe. Whenever I've told people about them, they dismiss it as "deja vu", though what they describe as deja vu doesn't quite fit my experiences. What happens is, at some completely unassuming time of the day, I'll have this...disassociated feeling, while some completely mundane sequence of events is taking place. And while these events are transpiring, I'm remembering that I had a dream of these events days, months, or sometimes years back, which is "playing back" like a videotape in my mind. It's as if someone videotaped something happening, went back in time, and played the event over again while it was happening. Adn while it's going on I remember the particular dream, where I was when I had it,
precisely the time that it occurred..everything, but I only have a vague recollection of this information after it has passed. When I was a kid, this would happen constantly, at least three or four times a week, but now that I'm older it seems to have slowed down to
maybe once or twice a month at most.
The second, "Shadow People", is someone else's term. I just called it that damn cat. The story's really too long to post here, and I'm tired so I'll just post
this link to a website that posted it, along with a few other similar stories. I'm thinking of writing an article on this subject to submit to paranormalnews.com.
