I've always been hyper sensitive, empathic and intuitive (sometimes to the point of it being painful) and have had moments of enlightenment, mind expansion that have been breath-taking. Last year, I had a life-changing shared death experience which was, embarrassingly, with a beloved dog and not a person. I only say embarrassingly because these things are unacceptable enough in the world, when they happen with human's so I really can't ever even risk talking about it openly if it's a dog!

Anyhoo, since then I've had a few vivid brightly coloured images flash into my mind (in my mind's eye kind of thing) that look very different to thoughts and pictures that are conjured up usually in my imagination.

And the most difficult thing to accept, and i can hardly believe this myself, is that they seem to be related to things that are happening to me in the future.

I've had three so far:

1 I closed my eyes and saw and owl. I was with my partner and I said, surprised, "I've just seen an owl!" He's an atheist materialist, which I was once, so he just laughed at me. But then later we went out shopping and even he had to admit it was strange because we saw hundreds of owls. They were on everything: T-shirts, bill boards, jewellery, mugs, cars, and in every shop and outside shops in the street. He said it was just because we were noticing them and they were always there.

Although the next time we went out shopping I said: "Where are all the owls?" and he couldn't answer because there weren't any!

Anyway, now I am suddenly, out of the blue, with absolutely no prior knowledge of it, working in a Twitter related business with an owly name and based around owls that is turning out to be the most successful thing I've ever done and the biggest success was yesterday. Last night there was a real life owl twitting loudly outside in our back garden. We went out and watched it fly off.

I grant that all this might be coincidence.

1. I saw a vivid image of a four leaf clover in the same different mind's eye picture. (I do find lots of four leaf clovers and can spot them a mile off but I hadn't found one for about a year). Then when I was walking the dog I started looking for them but couldn't find one. As soon as I stopped looking I found a FIVE leaf one right there in front of me. Then I walked on and I found 14 four leaf clovers (this is't unusual for me as I have some kind of four leaf clover finding super power). The connection I'm making is that I found them after a year of finding none, so many of them at once and the same day as I had the vision.

2. Yesterday I had a vision of a beautiful tropical scene and a brightly coloured incandescent kingfisher type bird flew towards me. It was so real I almost ducked out of the way.

So far nothing has happened related to this.

But what's going on? Has anything like this happened to anyone else? Am I going mad? Am I turning psychic?
