Going to the subreddit r/psychicdevelopment checking out u/Laura_59's question about her recently discovered abilities:

Recently discovered my gifts.

I've been on a spiritual journey for about 4 years now. The past 9 months I've had strange experiences that I can only put down to psychic/medium abilities. It started off by hearing (intuitivley) names when I was around random people, I passed it off until one day the name "pete" was repeating in my head over and over until I asked the lady on the table next to me "sorry to sound wierd but do you happen to know anyone called pete?" And she said pete was her dads name who died last year. Then things have happened where I've been daydreaming and thinking of random things, and a voice (outside of my head) has spoken to me and commented on what I was thinking about. For a while I thought I was mentally ill because nobody I know believes anything like that, but I am sane and "all there". There are more but do these experiences sound like psychic abilities? If so how do I learn how to let them in when I say so and not just randomly happen?
