"You don't realize that you are different and not a part of the normal awareness which resides in many sentient beings. You are born aware of your gifts, but without understanding that anything is unusual because they are so natural and free flowing.
As a young child, I would have "dreams" that would always come true later on. I would dream about a happening, but I wouldn't tell my family about it until after the event actually took place. Because I waited until after the fact to tell my parents about my dream, they would just smile, laugh at me and shake their heads as they went along with their day. I never knew I was different from other people by being born with gifts. My parents' non-reactive responses were exactly what I needed to allow me to keep my self-confidence and not turn the dreams and visions away."
