Cass -

This thread is amazing. I don't think I have any gifts really, I can sense some things, and I always have dreams that come true - which is a bit freaky. I used to be able to feel my guardian (don't know what else to call her) and one night I was having a severe panic attack, and I was on my own in a strange town in NSW, in a small motel room, having this awful panic attack and was thinking I was going to die. I lay down on the bed, and felt a hand running continuously through my hair, and a voice telling me it was all ok, its ok.. everything is going to be ok... shhhh... and I fell asleep. It was so peaceful and loving.

And - I'm not sure whether or not to tell this story, but I will - and if it freaks too many people out I'll delete it later.

When I was pregnant with DS (14 weeks on the dot) I was lying in bed one night with my back to the bedroom window. I felt a presence behind me. Then, I felt whoever it was trying to yank me out of my body ITMS? I was holding on tight to DH around his belly and just squeezing and squeezing him, determined not to let go. I was saying (in my head) - no, no, leave me alone, you're not going to get my baby. It was such a strong feeling and I thought I was going to let go, the pull was that strong. But I didn't - and then I blacked out. (in saying that I blacked out, sleep was immediate, but I did not fall asleep)

After I had blacked out, DH had woken up and saw a shadow on the wall, for whatever it was behind me. He was pretty freaked I think and never turned around, and then he blacked out as well.

We have suspicions on what it was, but we're keeping the theory to ourselves (mainly for fear of judgement). They never came back when I was pregnant with the girls, just DS.
