Cousin telepathy. is it common?
Ok. Anna and I are first cousins. Our dads are brothers and our moms are friends. So as you can imagine we have a fairly close-net family. We attend the same high-school and are less then a year apart. We have the same friends. We are practically sisters. We constantly joke about supposedly being "separated at birth".
In the past year we have noticed a mental bond between each other. We call it our 'Cousin Telepathy'. When we talked to our gramma about it she said we have been like that since we were born. Gramma said that when we were little we did EVERYTHING together AND at the exact same time. We got hungry together. We got sleepy together. We peed together. We got sick together. So on and so forth.
Our problems are the constant headaches and stomachaches. If I have a headache she gets it. If she has a stomach ache I get it. We have even experienced the same nightmares! Once my headache goes back to normal hers reaches a climax and she sends it back. Then the circle continues. We both have REFUSED to take any pills unless the situation is DIRE. Which it rarely is. =)
One night a group of friends went over to her house for a few games of cards, some gossip, and (for my advantage) some time to get away from home. Me and two of my friends were playing cards, two others were on the floor wrestling over anna's phone and anna was int the other room. Long story short I got hit square in the face with the phone.
Before I could register what had happened I herd Anna drop to the floor and start screaming. She walked in with a bloody nose soon to point out my own. We had never really told any of our friends about our 'Cousin Telepathy' until that night.
I have heard about this problem with twins, but we aren't twins. We're just really close. Is this normal? My mom has a hard time understanding.
I am an insomniac. Our problem is getting worse. Anna cant sleep now due to extreme nightmares. (thats how my insomnia started.) Also. She's having surgery for a problem and Her doctor said it will cause major stomach aches. (not that we hadn't already noticed)
Has anyone ever heard about this before? I heard about something else but its not telepathy. I forget the name. Telepathy is with trading thoughts. We trade dreams but that's it. Ideas for songs but that could just happen anyway. We trade pain, sickness, horror, happynes, bruises, cuts, sprains, so on and so forth.
Any ideas on the subject? Have you found a helpful website on it? I am also paranoid. Should she worry about that as well?
Comments are helpful. Thanks.
