I am looking for someone else like me. I seem to be able to feel things about people, an area... it's really hard to explain, and I know I am sucking just trying to talk about it. For example... I was driving down a road in my hometown last time I went to visit, and I was over taken by a huge sence on anxiousness and a need to run. I just keep hearing screaming in my head to run. I have been on this road a million times and never had that happen before. Once I turned off the road, it was compleatly gone. Not even a little left.

Later, I found out someone had been murdered on that road about a week earlier. Ok, so that in itself may not be "amazing" but I have dreams too, and I have strong connected feelings to people, usually those I know best. I can pick up on things that no one else feels. I don't hear the dead, I doubt I could communicate to them at all, but it's something not "normal". I haven't really talked about this up until recently because people think I'm crazy. I have a good friend that stands by me now, and it's getting easier to talk about it.

Any suggestions? I want to make this (whatever it is) stronger, and I would like to be able to use it to help others. Maybe even those spirits that feel that are trapped here, and maybe I could send them to the next level?
I just want to know I'm not crazy.

I don't believe you are a freak at all or crazy. I have been told I am a empathic person which explains why I don't like crowds of people I don't know because i pick up their energy. If I don't protect myself with white light that energy sticks to me like flypaper.

I'd love for you to post your dreams so i could maybe get more insight as to what is going on. Dreams reveal a lot about ourselves. Or feel free to write to me from my website www.spiritualdreamdoctor.com

Thanks for sharing

I too have been told that I am an empath. I really don't know myself. 

You are definately not a freak.  You have a special gift. What you do with this gift though is up to you.  My suggestion is that you accept what you have and learn about it.  First things first though, if you don't want to be overwhelmed with all the feelings, you should learn how to shield yourself, to put up a protection barrier.  There are a lot of books out there about grounding and I'm sure there are quiet a few people here who would be willing to help you.

I have the same gift.  At first I thought it was a curse, but have found it very helpful in my work and in my day to day life. 

Just take it a little bit at a time. Glean all the information that you can and accept what you have. There will be a lot of opportunities to use your gift in one way or another.

hi ihave just joined this website and i completely understand how you feel i wont bore you with the detail but i have had many experiences ,too many to pass off , the most unusual happend a couple of years ago when i was walking at a local beauty spot . i have been there many times before , the sun was shining and i had no concerns , as i passed a metal gantry/bridge i felt a plummet in my mood and got a mental picture of an elderly lady plunging off the gantry into the water,  my next mental picture was of her body being dragged out of the water , details in my mental "picture " were very concise even down to the colour of her underwear !! . however i passed of these strange thoughts. 3 days later i was shocked to read the local newspaper report of a lady in her early seventies who had ran away from a local hospital suffering from depression who had jumped into the water from the  very gantry i walked passed ,her body was recovered , i needed to follow my instincts about all the small details i had , and ended up speaking to the coroners office .. my detail matched theirs . i was troubled and a bit scared ..is it imagination or am i a sensitive ??  

You are not a freak, and no you are not crazy. Trust me, when I was younger my parents sent me to shrinks for about 13 years to prove that I was.  Im not crazy, I'm gifted, So are you.  Believe in yourself, you will do nothing but make friends here.
