I can smell cancer.
My grandmother had breast cancer for almost 10 years and never told anyone.
We only found out on her death bed as the nurses examined her.
I only lived a few doors away and could smell it every time I visited but, I didn’t realise what the smell was until I visited a friend a couple years later who also had breast cancer, the same smell, no one els could smell it and it destroyed me inside. Maybe I could have saved my Gran? Still haunts me everyday.

Specific people's voices have textures. I don't really know how to describe it because it's not even everyone, but sometimes I'll meet someone and their voice will have a feeling. Example: Julie Andrews's feels like the cardboard a tissue box is made out of, Emma Watson's feels like the texture of a Ziploc bag, and Ariana Grande's voice feels like if you were to stick your hands into a fish tank full of water and touch the glass on the inside. All of these are oddly specific but I did my best to describe them 😂😂

I don’t think this counts, but I have very vivid, detailed dreams with decent plots on the regular. I usually jot them down when I wake up and turn them into written stories later. My longest dream-inspired story ended up being over 200 pages. I’d bet that over 50% of my Google drive storage is being taken up by random Google docs with dream stories at this point. I rarely go back and read them, I should probably delete them lol.

I thought I was the only one! Can you also anagram them in your head? Like rearrange the letters?

I can read something, space out on something else and be able to understand and remember what I read.
I can also have a conversation with someone, back and forth, but my mind will derail onto a different topic in my head but I'll still hold the conversation and not remember what it was about.
I can also write something down without thinking about what I'm writing.
This is all due to being in a class where it was mainly copying notes off of the chalkboard for hours, and a need to self-destress from social anxiety.

I remember names super easy and match them up to faces easily too. I know a ton of people's names in my school and on like 10 people know who I am.
I can make a story out of any random thing ever.
I can also picture anything in my head if I've seen it.

That's awesome. I need you to become my best friend and come with me whenever someone introduces themselves to me because I will forget their name three seconds after they say it.

This is really really odd. But I can taste sickness in water. (Colds, flu’s and other basic sicknesses) I can taste the sickness in someone else’s cup before they are even aware that they are sick. I don’t know how but it’s happened before multiple times after drinking from a sick persons cup. I can also taste my own sickness.

When I worked as a software developer, I would sometimes encounter a problem that I couldn’t figure out right away. Every time I would ‘sleep’ it off I would dream about the problem and wake up knowing how to solve it. This happened pretty consistently so I started to relax and not stress knowing that I would have it solved the next day.
Kinda weird, but maybe not so rare.

I sometimes have prophetic dreams. I usually forget about them when I wake up but then some time later I am hit with a strong sense of deja vu and everything just comes back. I've kind of gotten used to it but it used to make me feel really weird like idk I can't describe it but you know just like really strong deja vu.

Same here! It doesn’t happen often, though. Sometimes when I have prophetic dreams they don’t come to pass for years. In those instances the deja vu hits with full force. It’s a strange sensation.

I can tell which year (not exact year but if it's from the 1980s, 2000s, ect) a movie is from. Not TV shows though, for some reason.

Being psychic (runs in the family) I will never forget a face and instantly know where and when I have seen it. I can sketch the face from mind for most people to recognize the person by the distinct features; this helps me a lot, since I have NO, ABSOLUTELY NO memory for names. In fact most names sound very much alike to me

These dreams are psychic/prophetic powers. It means you are strongly connected to a "collective" intelligence. We (every existing living) is part of this. We, together, ARE the collective intelligence. This is why telepathy works. You just dock on or tune in. You can practice to do some selective tuning. DÉJÀ VUs are a different phenomenon, nothing to do with being clairvoyant. ESP, on the other hand, can be trained
