To intuitives, what are some times you exhibited psychic behaviors?

I'm an intuitive, and one time, I had a dream my friend was going to get into a masters program and the next day I told her that, and later that day she said she got an email that they were going to post the results that day and she got in... she said it was scary how I predicted that... she's a sensing.
Also, I've had weird times when I read people really well. For example, I knew someone had their dad passed away without anyone telling me, knew someone's wrist was broken and told them to go see a doctor and their wrist actually was broken, could tell a friend was suicidal in the past without them telling me, had a really bad feeling in my stomach right before a friend called me crying and said her brother's friend died, and I used to be affected by people's auras and energies.

What are some times you were really intuitive/psychic/read people really well/sensitive to others' energies?

Much of what OP describes is a phenomena called nonlocal intuition. Now that you know what it's called, you can research it! There's no need to shoehorn it into an explanation that it simply doesn't fit.

Here are some peer-reviewed scientific papers of experimental evidence related to nonlocal intuitive perception:

Our research at the HeartMath Institute suggests there are three categories or types of processes the word intuition describes. The first type of intuition, often called implicit knowledge or implicit learning, essentially refers to knowledge we’ve acquired in the past and either forgot or did not realize we had learned. Drawing on the neuroscience conception of the human brain as a highly efficient and effective patternmatching device,[176] a number of pattern-recognition models have been developed to show how this fast type of intuitive decision-making and action can be understood purely in terms of neural processes. In this regard, the brain matches the patterns of new problems or challenges with implicit memories based on prior experience.[224, 230, 231]

The second type of intuition is what we call energetic sensitivity, which refers to the ability of the nervous system to detect and respond to environmental signals such as electromagnetic fields (also see Energetic Communication section). It is well established that in both humans and animals, nervous-system activity is affected by geomagnetic activity.[232] Some people, for example, appear to have the capacity to feel or sense that an earthquake is about to occur before it happens. It has recently been shown that changes in the earth’s magnetic field can be detected about an hour or even longer before a large earthquake occurs. [231] Another example of energetic sensitivity is the sense of being stared at. Several scientific studies have verified this type of sensitivity.[234]

The third type of intuition is nonlocal intuition, which refers to the knowledge or sense of something that cannot be explained by past or forgotten knowledge or by sensing environmental signals. It has been suggested that the capacity to receive and process information about nonlocal events appears to be a property of all physical and biological organization and this likely is because of an inherent interconnectedness of everything in the universe.[235-237] Examples of nonlocal intuition include when a parent senses something is happening to his or her child who is many miles away, or the repeated, successful sensing experienced by entrepreneurs about factors related to making effective business decisions.

Personally I have not experienced much nonlocal intuitive perception in my life. I can recall one instance where I had an inexplicable feeling of dread in my chest while at the zoo with my son and mother. I didn't have anything to worry about, which was the strange thing. I thought it was my partner, whom I had the sense was suffering emotionally. That night he called me to talk about how he wasn't doing well. It is not clear to me whether that is nonlocal intuition, but I do know I am often physiologically synchronised to him, because we are often breathing and exhaling at the same time and sometimes having the same thoughts as one another. We're almost opposites in type.

I use the other two types of intuition all the time. I am very energetically sensitive and pick up on others' moods around me almost immediately as if it were in the air. And I too sense "good" people and "bad" people like a sniffer dog. Not too long ago there was somebody I had never liked in exactly this way from the moment we met. One day my partner and I found out they had cheated mutual friends out of money and had gotten into trouble with police by sexually harassing an under-aged girl online. Aha, I *knew* I didn't like him for a reason.

At first I came to say iNtuitive-psychic correlation is junk and I've never experienced this, but I've just realized I'm wrong, so instead I'm here to say iNtuitive-psychic correlation is junk and I actually experience weird synchronicity stuff in close relationships, mostly with Ss. Thanks @Cuttlefish for posting that description - evidently this is nonlocal intuition and I didn't realize it until just now. Anyway it mostly happens with my family where we'll be texting or calling at the exact same time. We talk fairly often, but I don't think it's enough to explain it entirely. I also knew when my grandma passed away. I was totally alone driving in my car and all of a sudden I just started bawling. Something about the sky and the expanse. It suddenly seemed purple and so vast and distant, and purple was her color, and I knew. My mom called a few minutes later and I told her I already knew. It was weird but kind of comforting, too.

I don't like the term "Psychic", as it seems to lead to misunderstanding. I have had several experiences that I could only describe as "psychic". Such as sudden feelings of danger, and avoiding things mere seconds before it happens.

For example, everyday my roommate would drive us home. He would blow through the same stop sign every day, because not very many people drove through our area. One day, on the way home. I just felt he shouldn't drive through the stop sign this one time. He stopped for me, and someone else from the crossing road blew through the 4 way stop, and if he had run it like always. We would have been T-boned for sure.

I have frequently had these things, but most of the time things are not happening to "me" all the time. I just sense a certain thing will happen, and they do. Its completely random, and I only have a few seconds to react in time.

Another thing I have experienced, like Cuttlefish's post talks about. The subconscious pattern matching. I seem to be adept at this specific thing, without my foreknowledge. What I mean is that I sometimes become aware of these patterns, but only when something goes amiss. For example, I frequent forums a lot. And sometimes, forums lead to off forum chatrooms. Where people might not always use the same username. Or people might frequently change usernames. I am easily able to discern people, based entirely on my subconscious gut feeling of their typing pattern. I cannot tell you what they are, but I can pick up on those patterns. I have accurately picked out people, whom I knew. After they changed their name. A good example of this in effect, is Town of Salem. But, it does require me having communicating a lot with you to work.

Lastly, I don't know how to describe it. But I am a lucid dreamer, and have explored the subconscious quite well over more than 15 years. I would say I am a bit of an expert on dream analysis, and understanding how things affect dreams, and the waking mind. I have employed the use of lucid dreaming to confront my own mental issues. BUT, there are some things that stand out. What people would call "astral projection" or "out of body experiences", I have experienced as well. I once converted to Satanism, and experienced the wonders of isolation psychosis. Within my madness, you could say I gained a bit more insight than most people would into the construction of personality. I became far too self aware, in a sense. In my recovery, I have experienced many types of sleep disorders, and the most common among them being sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations. There were a few "Dreams" that I had, that violated all of my knowledge about dreams. They only happened a handful of times, and never again. I will list each night.

For example, I once had 3 nights of what could be attributed to many strange phenomenon. There was one bizarre incident of me waking up in bed. I have experienced sleep paralysis many times, but there was one time I woke up. I could move just fine, and I saw something standing next to my bed. A figure I couldn't see, because it was pitch black. But I could see its golden aura. It was humanoid, with 6 distinct glowing dots in its head. You could say they were eyes. I promptly freaked the fuck out, but when I turned on the light. Nothing was there.

The 2nd night, was much more terrifying, and much more real. I knew, this wasn't just a hallucination. I woke up again, to the sound of "Crackling". I have heard this sound before, it sounded like fire. I opened my eyes, and to my surprised. There was a light on in my room. But something wasn't right. The light was coming from directly behind me, and there was no lamp or anything behind me. It gave off a blueish white glow, and it was moving. I slowly turned around, and saw a ball of what looked like lightning. Hovering 3 feet above the ground, just out of arms reach. I was petrified, because I never seen anything like it. I had to tell myself it was some sort of hallucination, because I didn't believe it. I threw my covers over my head, and then it eventually vanished.

The 3rd night I awoke from a dream, and for some reason. I could see in my pitch black room. (I slept in the basement then with no windows, not even an alarm clock). I could see as if I had red night vision goggles. Everything was black and red. I sat up, and I could see my hands in front of me. I suddenly started moving without control. If you have ever been aware you were sleepwalking, it is similar to that. I somehow manifested a screen in front of myself, and I saw a page of letters I didn't recognize. I still, don't know where it came from. But I can tell you if I saw it again. I did something to the page, and black energy transferred back and forth between my hands. Then page disappeared, and I "Woke up" to the pitch black room.

Those 3 nights made me research alien abductions, ball lightning, and demonic possession more.
