Do you ever get goosebumps when you think of someone, and then they text you out of nowhere? Do you feel like sometimes your gut feeling screams at you and you just know something without being able to back it up with facts? Here are 15 signs you can sense things that others can’t.
1. You feel other people’s energy.
You can stand next to someone and get a sense of their energy. Maybe it’s good or bad, warm or cold. They haven’t even said a word to you, and yet you’re getting this feeling right off the bat — and it’s usually right. A lot of people are skeptical about this, but you always end up being spot on.
2. You experience déjà vu regularly.
Déjà vu, that feeling that you’ve experienced something before, can be unsettling. If it happens to you regularly, it could be linked to a psychic ability or a sixth sense that allows you to see things other people can’t (although there are other reasons for it, such as temporal memory triggers and playing virtual reality games — yes, really.)
3. You have vivid dreams, some of which come true.
Sometimes you have dreams while you’re sleeping that eventually become a reality. Maybe you dream of a specific puppy before you find the exact same one at the shelter, or you dream of your friend being in a car accident that later happens. It feels so freaky!
4. You can “read” people’s emotions.
When chatting to other people, sometimes it feels like you know exactly what they’re feeling, even if they haven’t spelled it out for you. This could be because you’re so empathetic, and it helps you to sense other people’s emotions.
5. You think of someone before bumping into them.
Maybe you’ve been thinking of a friend you haven’t spoken to for ages, then you bump into them at the grocery store. Or, you feel like you can communicate with your sister just by looking into each other’s eyes. Telepathy is a type of extrasensory perception and it can feel like you’re given information without working for it. Is it real? Eh, that’s up for discussion — but if you’ve experienced it, it certainly feels real!
6. You get a strong gut feeling without the facts.
If you’re in tune with your intuitive feelings, you might sometimes get a strong gut feeling or hunch about something, even if you know literally nothing about it and there’s nothing to suggest it’s true. For example, you might get a gut feeling that your boyfriend’s going to break up with you and then he does.
7. You feel dread before something bad happens.
Have you ever experienced a feeling of darkness or dread, only for it to occur before something bad happens to you? You have the ability to sense things and it’s almost like something out there’s protecting you.
8. You wake up at 3 a.m. every night.
Although it’s a nuisance to wake up at three o’clock and struggle to sleep again, there could be a deeper reason for waking up at this time specifically. It’s thought that this is the time of night when the boundary between the living and dead thins out a bit, so you might be having a spiritual awakening.
9. You see things other people don’t.
A more obvious sign that you have a heightened ability to sense things is if you can see colors or things around you that no one else can. It might be unsettling at first, but embrace it! It might just be a gift of clairvoyance, if you believe in that sort of thing.
10. You read people’s subtle cues.
Your ability to sense things can make you a great communicator, such as if it enables you to pick up on other people’s body language cues. For example, you might notice the slightest way that their jaw clenches or their breathing changes when you ask them a personal question.
11. You experience many coincidences.
Do you ever feel that coincidences are happening for a reason? For instance, maybe you get three green traffic lights in a row so you can make it early to the office and help someone in need. Sometimes, it feels like you’re part of a bigger plan. It’s mysterious and you don’t understand it, but it’s awesome.
12. You’re in tune with your body’s signals.
Your body gives you many signals to guide you on your path. So, you might feel anxious and tight-chested when someone is giving you bad vibes, or you get a light, breezy feeling when you’re about to make a decision, which helps you feel it’s right.
13. You’re a magnet for animals.
Whenever you’re around other people’s pets, they’re immediately drawn to you. If you see a stray dog outside, it’ll start wagging its tail to get your attention. It’s like animals sense something within you that’s warm and magnetic.
14. You feel connected to nature.
Feeling a connection to nature makes you feel more spiritual. But, doing what’s known as “environmental scans” can help you to become more psychic. These work by moving around in a park or other green space and being mindful by noticing what you can see, smell, and hear. Explore the space and think about how it makes you feel.
15. You’ve had out-of-body experiences.
Maybe you’ve had out-of-body experiences, where it feels like your consciousness is leaving your body. There have been reports of this happening during mediation. It feels spiritual. While it’s not necessarily linked to having psychic ability, it does show that you’re open to unique experiences and feelings that many others aren’t.
