Hi everyone! I am a todal noobie here, so i guess introducing myself is a good place to start. I chose my name cryptatraz, because an inbuilt love of mystery and astrology (combo of crypto and alcatraz the star). Most people seem to have a name for what they are, psychic, clarvoinant, have "esp", occultist, magician, even vampires and werewolves! me, i realy dont know. My bro is a lucid dreamer, by nature, and gets stuck in sleep poralisis. My mom and me saw shadow people in our youth, but i never stoped seeing them, even had an uo close and personal encounter. I have seen one aura, it was very bright and glowy yellow. I am a taurus, neck "oriented" and can see an aqua blue color while staring at my shoulder area (as if i were seeing the chakra). I have had one lucid dream, and one sleep poralisis experience (thanx to my bro). I have been able to give other people dreams, just by thinking about giveing them a dream of me. I have an inate ability to read people, and understand body language (then again, who doesnt think that? lol). I have heard srange voices while alone, had many precognitive dreams, practiced "magic", if thats what ya call it around here, for years, anything from voodoo to clasical, catagotizable stuff. I have always been pulled into anything new age and occult. Also, i recently started believeing in vamps. Not necisarily the blood kind, but the energy kind at the very least. My moms side of the family has lots of psychic abilities between family members. I realy have no clue what I believe or even what to call myself, but I do believe in fate, and that all the strange occurances in my life must have happened for a reason. I would love any advice from anyone on any of these subjects, particularly shadow people, lucid dreams, atral travel, auras, chakras, psychic abilities, and definitly on spells. So please, do not hesitate to share what u know, and help me find a correct label for myself and my natural abilities. thank for reading!-cryptatraz
