    Grit. Most people think I have some sort of innate natural ability with everything I do. In reality, I just persevere through difficulty and failure, as many times as it takes to arrive at success. The downside is that I have a decent number of things I have tried that I probably should have given up on sooner.

      Man it takes me maintaining a dream journal, some MILD affirmations now and then and about 15 Reality check per day to even get atleast one lucid dream in a week and when i get busy and couldnt keep up with my dream journal and reality check, i would need to start from scratch to get to that previous level and that could mean month gap between lucid dreams.

    Good navigation ability and sense of where I am in relation to landmarks, places and even celestial bodies. Also works for time.

    Some of my friends need phone GPS just to get around the city they’ve lived in for 15 years!

      Jup, I have the same ability. Even in big, unknown cities I almost always find my way back. It’s almost like it’s saved in 3D in my brain.

      I also always know where north is, even inside a building.

        Nice. There are dozens of us.

        I made a remark about where north is while in a building for a work conference a few weeks ago (the views were nice), and realised the person I was talking to had no idea what I was talking about!

    I have really good reflexes for catching things that are falling. I don’t even have to think about it - if something is falling near me that’s catchable, my hand will just reach out and catch it 9/10 times. Seems I can override it for dangerous things like kitchen knives. Most of the time, nobody ever sees it happen, so it’s also a hidden talent, lol.

      Are you me?

      One time I was DM-ing for a group of friends, it was late and we were drunk. One of my friends had left a glass behind my dm screen were I couldn’t see it (but I knew it was there). I don’t remember exactly how, but he bumped the screen and the cup fell from the table

      Somehow my hand jumped in an arc going over the screen and under the table to be exactly were the glass was on its way to the floor and I catch it

      It’s one of my favorite memories

    I can sense years if not decades before anyone else which celebrities are creeps, rapists, rscist or asshole.

    Bill Cosby

    R. Kelly

    Marilyn Manson

    Morgan Freeman

    Chris Brown

    Woody Allen (no wait that’s too easy)

    Allan Baldwin

    Johnny Depp

    Thre guy from Ramstein

    The what’s his name since guy

    Elon Musk

    And so on. I hated them all since forever and knew somthing is not quite right with them.

    The only cases I was shocked was James Franco and Kevin spacey.
