What Is Your Supernatural Gift? (Descriptions & Pics)
Lucid Dreaming.Although science has proven that we all dream every night, many people often remember no dreams at all, and even when they do, it is almost exclusively upon awakening, after the fact.Lucid dreams are uniquely different. One realizes that one is dreaming while the dream is still happening. The scene often suddenly expands in richness and color as the dreamer becomes aware that the world being experienced, although appearing very believable, is actually a dream and that his or her physical body is elsewhere safe asleep in bed. With this new understanding, the lucid dreamer is free to explore remarkable worlds limited only by imagination, and now not just as an actor, but also to some degree as a producer and director.Lucid dreaming was brought into the academic and public spotlights around the world once it’s scientific validity was separately proven by researchers at Stanford University, California (where it has also been proven to be a learnable skill), and at Liverpool University, England. Proof was achieved by performing, during REM sleep, a series of extreme left-right eye signals which were agreed upon prior to sleep. Though most of the body’s muscles are de-activated during REM sleep, the eye muscles are not, and repeated experiments at Stanford, the Sacr-Coeur Hospital Dream and Nightmare Laboratory and elsewhere have proven that the eyes (and to some extent other physiological responses) can be brought under conscious control by a dreamer who realizes that she or he is dreaming.

Very interesting…here was my result:
Empathy.
The word “empathy” derives from the Greek words “empatheia” meaning “passion” and “pathein” meaning “to experience, suffer”.
According to Miriam-Webster’s on-line dictionary -”Empathy is the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.”
As humans - our empathic skills are always turned on - as with all things - we just need to be open to receive the messages. It’s like a radio - it may be playing - but are you listening?
Not all empaths are sympathic. Empaths feel emotions of others - but do not have to feel sympathy for them. Empaths - for the most part - are compassionate though - with a desire to heal and help others.
One can be an empath from childhood. They are called natural empaths who inherit this ability allowing them to experience in higher frequency of awareness. Some people develop their empathic abilities later in life when they are more aware.
Most are right brained in the sense of using the creative intuitive side of the brain - people who use higher frequencies to connect.
Strong empaths must learn how to discern their own emotions from someone else’s.
There are degrees of empathic abilities which vary from empath to empath.
