So recently I was hanging out with my good friend gypseywolf (who is also a member here) and we had a revelation. I was sitting at the computer and was subconsciously moving my shoulder blades back and forth. When she inquired about what I was doing I replied without thinking "it makes my wings feel better." "But Quintus you don't have wings" she said. Which lead to a conversation about a few things.
1. Sometimes (all the time since my little revelation) I experience "phantom limbs" in the form of wings protruding from my shoulder blades. This has turned sleeping into a whole new experience as well as things like sitting in a car.
2. When I am mad or upset I feel as though I my forearms are different with claws for hands and a barb that extends about a foot and a half out from my elbow.
My lower body never fells any different which seem kind of strange to me.
after a very intense meditation session in which me and Solarius had a very heated argument I remembered telling my mom that I thought I could fly when I was young (5-7 years old) that I could fly and that I was having dreams that I was flying.
Any words of wisdom/letting me if I am losing my mind or not would be appreciated. If you need any more info just ask.

1. Sometimes (all the time since my little revelation) I experience "phantom limbs" in the form of wings protruding from my shoulder blades. This has turned sleeping into a whole new experience as well as things like sitting in a car.I know the feeling, I get this a lot when I'm sitting back or even walking because I always have phantom wings. It's interesting to say the least. Any words of wisdom/letting me if I am losing my mind or not would be appreciated. If you need any more info just ask.That's a bit of a funny thing to say lol, considering 80% of otherkin have shifts and are perfectly sane It could be that you're picking up energy from somewhere/something but it could be a 'human' version of a cameoshift, where you shift either phantomly or mentally into another creature. Or perhaps you are kin and just didn't know it yet. Everyone awakes at different times and in different ways. ~Capsha

@capsha thank you this is new to me in a way. I have had Solarius for so long and we are still kind of working on getting things just for this new stuff to start happening.
the wings i can deal with, i realized that i have had them at least since i was 5 years old but repressed them due to my parents telling me i was just "imagining" them. I accept the fact thart once i was free of my parents I rediscovered my wings. does that make any sense?
its the claws/forearms that bother me the way they feel and the way i see them with my minds eye is definantly not natural.
i don't know thank you for letting me know i am not insane and this has happened to people besides me.

Phantom shifts are perfectly 'natural'...just about all of the otherkin/therian community experiences them. Heck amputees experience them. Something being relatively new to you doesn't make it unnatural, just makes it new.

@ Quintus
Phantom hands/arms are probably the easiest thing to manifest, but that doesn't mean they're normal. Do they feel utterly wrong, or are they just uncomfortable? What kind of claws are you feeling? Are they curved or straight or long?
I think claws go hand-in-hand with wings, if only due to the association the human brain has that wings = birds = talons. I flex my phantom limbs a lot, to the point where they're a daily occourance, and I usually have some kind of hooked claws to go with my wings. One pair of them, at least.

@quintus A lot of people feel phantom limbs...or so I have heard. And I have also heard of many cases of therians that feel phantom wings even though their theriotype has absolutely nothing to do with wings at all...I am not sure why that is, it is just something that I have observed. As for claws, I think it is the easiest shift to feel...at least with Rail, even if he is shifted into a shark and the phantom limbs on his hands are more fins there are still claw feeling type things. Which in my opinion could just be a release of more energy around your hands that you happen to notice more. I know that I am not much help and I apologize for that. -Chris
