Thread: I Need Help and Understanding

Since I am new, I am not sure anyone else has posted anything similar to this.

I have been psychic most of my life. I both broadcast my thoughts and I receive others thoughts. Though I have never been able to harness this. It has always been random.

I also have pre-cognative abilities that help me know something is about to happen. Drives my wife nuts.

My pre-cognative abilities are strongest though when I am dreaming.

Now my problem. We live in a home with a finished basement. My children's bedrooms are in the basement. At one point, before my oldest son moved out, he was sleeping right beneath me. Before he began sleeping beneath me, my dreams were their usual normal pre-cognative dreams. Then, whenever he slept beneath me, I would have erratic dreams. I questioned him what he dreamt about. It was usually similar to what I was dreaming.

He is now gone. But my daughter has moved into that space recently and guess what? Same thing. Except its now her dreams.

My question to all is this, "Is there some way I can block the influence of others mind's from influencing my dreams?" It is so frustrating and I wake up more exhausted because of it.

Please help!!!!!

Welcome to the forum!

This is probably the coolest questions I've seen haha. But try intention, it really is something magical about what you can do with it.

You can for example intend at what time you want to wake up, you can intend to get aware and lucid, you can also intend what you want to dream then it's called dream incubation.
So if I were you I would intend that nobody except yourself will influence your dreams or something like that. That's the only answer I can give you, I hope it gets sorted out for you.

Sweet (own) dreams! hopefully...

This so belongs in this part of the forum: Beyond Dreaming

Welcome though! We Dream Guides are here to help you with any questions you might have regarding the basic things on dreaming.

Hi there. Welcome! Wow that is a neat ability!

I agree with both replies ^^

It'd be interesting to know what would happen if you could become lucid, turn the dream around. I wonder if that will affect your daughter's dreams. Like you yourself change it for her. It could be very beneficial for both of you

Do you want to say that you really believe you are receiving thoughts and dreams, or do you mean that your mind tricks you into it?

I do not want to insult you, neither do i want to diagnose you; but being able to read someones reminds me of a symptom of a schizophrenic state of mind. I've learned from clinical experience, that schizophrenic patients tend to cover themselves to symbolically barrier "thoughts" and "energies" from themselves: so they wear caps and many layers of jackets as well as big headphones, so they can listen to music instead of being confronted with discomforting situations. (Also compare the concept of tin-foil hats.)

Maybe wearing some kind of hat at night might help you by establishing a symbolic barrier, that your mind transfers to not dreaming "others dreams" anymore, but this is not much more than a guess.

Regards, and sleep well,

Well, you could always ask your daughter to move back into her old room, or move your own bed to another location.

Too simple? Maybe not; it seems to me such a practical action not only solves your short-term sleeping difficulties, but buys you time to grapple with the more esoteric stuff, if you care to.

Why not try to do shared dreaming?

I agree with Nomad, got with it! Do you know how many people on here would love to be in your position?

You and your daughter should start keeping dream journals and comparing them. Or just move the beds around so you're not stacked on top of each other.

Thanks all for your input. Mastermind I tried to intend that I only wanted my dreams. It mostly worked. I'm pretty sure the last part of the night were her dreams again. I'll try a few more times. I think it might work.
As far as becoming lucid, I hate going lucid as I wake-up more exhausted.
Most nights, I work hard at staying mostly aware while dreaming. I do this to avoid nightmares. If I start to have nightmares I simply take control of the dream and change its direction. Doesn't always work. But helps.
As far as working with my daughter, I'm not sure she would want to focus on this right now. She is very busy with school and work and needs her sleep. And nope, we can't move her as we have 10 children. So no room.
The wearing of the hat sounds like it might be something to try. I just went and read about schizophrenia. Nope, I'm afraid I can't even hold a candle to some of the symptoms. So we can rule that out.
I do keep a dream journal and have found that my dreams are close to five years ahead of when they happen. Some happen sooner, but most are on the five year schedule.

My hope with this thread was to find a way to psychically be able to block others thoughts.
I know if I touch my thumbs to my index fingers and then have one circle inside the other circle (hard to explain) it blocks others thoughts as well as psychic vampires. Works really well when I have someone who is overbearing sucking my energy.
But I can't do this and sleep.
I heard someone once say that if you visualize a wall of water around you then that can act as a psychic barrier. I can't maintain this visualization and sleep at the same time.

So for now, I will try the intentions and maybe even the hat as a symbol. I'll report back. And if anyone else has better ideas then I would love to hear them.

Lucidity = Awareness while dreaming

I am so glad reading this from you. Seems like we got something in common and i also receive thoughts and feelings from others, i also sometimes can get prediction dreams, but one thing we both are different of is that i can control my dreams very well.
I also receive dreams from someone i know, and also receive their emotions and thoughts through dreams, but only one person that is closely connected to me and my thoughts in real and in dreams can do this.
About your daughter, she doesn't need to do much as long as you are controlling the dream and what not. You do need to control and learn to do so. That's all i can say now. Good luck.

I learned how to control my dreams about 15 years ago. I use to have nightmares all the time. Many repeated nightmares also. But once I learned how to control my dreams the nightmares went away. When ever anything happened in my dream that was out of the ordinary. That was my signal to myself to know I was dreaming and I would change my dream to something pleasent. But if the dream was something to come in the future and I didn't like what I was seeing I was unable to change the dream in any way shape or form. When I can't change my dream it means it's something in the future. If it makes me afraid I usually wake up when the fear becomes too great to handle.

Are you able to turn the bed in a different direction? Say your bed faces north to south. Can you move it to face east and west? Just changing the direction of the bed could cut off the flow of shared dreams..... possibly.

If you do this in dreams it can work,...the way you said it seems like in waking life. ?

The only reason I thought about this is because in my old house in one room I had one a bed facing north and south and in another room the bed was facing east and west. When I slept in the bed that was east and west I had a normal nights sleep. When I slept in the bed facing north and south. Many things happened to me...... that's when my third eye worked...... I even had a training session with 12 spiritual beings for 30 nights...... after the training that's when I was shown the aftermath of 911 three nights in a row. I woke up in a panic all three nights. After the third night I put my dream on paper and it never came back.

I didn't know what I was looking at or where I was at. I saw smoke billowing out of the ground all around me. I said to myself my God this looks like a war scene. I looked around and didn't see any military anywhere. That's when this fear over took me and it felt like I was feeling the fear of the world. I woke up at this point every time. I didn't feel that fear again until the day before 911. That's when I turned to my roommate and said something is coming. I don't know what but something is going to happen. The next day was 911.

Well people do get prediction dreams, some get it more lucid than others. I get few prediction dreams in a year.

maybe, it can give you information, and the ability to help them with something. Dreams are usually subconcious thoughts so yeah.

Again, thank you for all of the suggestions. I have noticed the direction of my bed, in the past, did make a difference. I have my bed North to South currently. This helps my dreams to be less chaotic.
The awareness during dreaming is a tough one for me. If I become too aware, then I wake up exhausted. So I don't try too hard to be as conscience in my dreams.
I have worked over the years at training myself to take a backseat and just go along with my dreams. Then if they start to turn into nightmares I am able to recognize this, most of the time. I then pull myself to a partially awake state and finish the dream off the way I want it to end, turning a bad dream into a more powerful dream.
I try to avoid changing too much of my dreams as most of my dreams are about a future event. Then when the future event happens I am able to recognize it better.
I have been working on meditating before going to sleep. During meditation I intend in my mind to only allow interaction with my higher self. I also visualize a water barrier between myself and the floor.
I read somewhere that visualizing a water barrier between yourself and another person helps to block psychic vampires. So I figured it would also work to block communication between people who are empathic.
This has begun to work well for me. I am sure that my dreams are mine and not that of others in close proximity. I will keep experimenting with this and report back.

I have had some new developments over the last 3 months that explain a whole lot.
I and my daughter are both Empathic. This explains why our dreams were overlapping.
I meditate before bed now. During my meditation I create visualizations of waterfalls on all four sides of my room and also my bed floating on water. This blocks most unwanted dreams.

The majority of my dreams come from within now.

Glad to hear you found something that helps.

For me proximity doesn't seem to make much difference. What matters more is the relevance of our thoughts, and whether there's some other way for the same experience to get expressed besides in the dream.

I've met one other person who avoids sleeping over other people for the reason you mention. Maybe its not the reason, but I think he was strongly suppressing his awareness of some things about himself that he didn't want to face. It seems to me that this would cause the other person's thoughts to be more of a problem, because of the way they intersect with the related aspect of his own mind that is struggling to be expressed. So you might consider whether being more open and honest with yourself might help. I'm just speculating, trying to think of a reason I don't seem to be as affected in unwanted ways by other people's thoughts while asleep, even though there is often interaction that seems constructive.

Maybe its just because I'm not as sensitive that way though because I'm not socially as open, which would be because I don't know how to be open in that way without being affected in ways that I don't want to be. In other words, maybe its not a problem for me while asleep because I'm shut down in a similar way during waking life for the same reason.

The best tip I can give you from my perspective is to not make it more complicated than it is. You don't have to use your mind or any magical powers to affect something that seems paranormal. The easiest thing you can apply is simply asking your daughter if she can sleep elsewhere. The tool to manifestation is not always the law of attraction by meditating or attracting by attitude. Sometimes you can just be mundane about it, if it's easier. manifestation works from the path of least resistance.

Edit: im sorry. i didnt read your update. glad it works out
