Well, even though I have been known to totally fuck up a conversation, I definitely get an intuition about people and their motives. It's probably that which has saved me from relying on the old facial expressions etc. so I am lucky.
Since childhood, I have had dreams many times of things that will happen in the future...or I will dream of some person from my past and then hear something about them within a few days. Some dreams though have been traumatic. Two drownings of children, both of which came true. On in my family and one across the road from our house. I was beside myself after the second one and my husband at the time finally believed me, because I had told him of the dream days before it happened.
I learned when I was an adult that my great grandmother was very physcic and it had been played down by the family...probably not an 'acceptable' trait to have back in the day. I also think she is the one the AS comes from...so it figures.
