Is it a psychic perception to "feel" someone wanting to be with you, or more of a physical instinct? I have a male friend who has always just been a platonic pal because he is much younger than I am. Lately, however, I swear I can feel him wanting me, almost as if he is laying there wherever he is thinking of me in romantic/sexual ways. When I run into him, he talks to me the same way, but his eyes say something else. Even as friends, there has always been a weird connection between us, as if we were meant to meet. Do you think I'm truly picking up on something psychically here?

Every living thing on the planet emits some type of energy. Energy is always moving; it is never stagnant. We pick up energy from every living thing there is.
There are some really clear examples of this in nature. How many times have you heard, "Don't run! Animals can sense your fear?" What the animal senses is our energy. Animals don't use words to communicate; they communicate with other beings via energy. If an animal is hurt or sick, another animal will sense that and pounce on it.
When you see a long lost friend or relative, you walk up and hug that person, often not saying a word. You can feel that person's energy, and it fills your very soul up. When a friend is sad, you go up and rub that friend's back or touch their arm. They feel your energy and smile at you. You don't have to use words.
The same thing is going on here. You can FEEL his energy. His words, however, are saying something completely different. So your logical brain is having trouble putting together what you feel from his energy and what his words are saying.
You are a very logical person. You have always used LOGIC before any other sense. Yet logic will often lead you astray. If you only listened to logic in this case, you would think, "Well, his words say that he is not interested, so he must not be." Then that would be that.
I want you to start using your gut MUCH more than you use logic. You are loaded with gut instincts. Your psychic ability is getting stronger and stronger practically every day. You second-guess what you KNOW to be true in your gut because you tend to value and trust logic more than intuition.
Imagine if an animal ran on logic instead of instincts. A snake might say, "Well that eagle cannot see me, so I don't have to hide," or a hyena might say, "That lion is SO much bigger than I am. I should probably just let him eat me because I don't stand a chance." Humans are the ONLY beings on earth that are hung up on logic. Sometimes I wish the universe had never even provided that as an option for us.
I do think this guy likes you a whole lot. I also think he feels the same way about the age thing as you do. He wonders what a mature, settled, secure and beautiful person like you would want with a person like him. He also has NO idea how you feel about him, so he tends to keep it all under wraps. What are you afraid of? Take a chance and ask him out!
May you learn to honor your instincts above all!

If you want to call the connection you and your male friend are beginning to enjoy psychic, you can. Personally, I think this is what most people call "chemistry." Your feelings for one another have grown and changed since you began your friendship, and now things are moving in a more romantic direction.
You say that you almost feel you were "meant to meet." While I don't buy into that "meant to be" thing, I DO think that the two of you probably shared other incarnations. In some you were brother and sister; in some you were husband and wife; in some you may even have been father and daughter. Your connection is very strong, and it's difficult to form that in only ONE lifetime together. You're too close for your connection to be new or random.
I believe that your close good friend is falling in love with you, and you are falling in love with him too. It happens! If you're open to this relationship moving in a different direction, ask him up front if he realizes his feelings are changing, and tell him that yours are too. Even though it could be all in your imagination that he's looking at you with new love in his eyes, it's better to get your feelings out in the open, just in case there is any kind of misunderstanding going on here.
Remember, the fact that he's younger than you are means nothing in terms of your deeper connection, because chronological age is only a NUMBER, and does not have anything to do with people's feelings for one another, romantic or otherwise.
If you do NOT want this kind of attention from him, use your brain and TALK to him about it before he gets hurt very badly. He's fallen in love with you and you seem to be responsive or open to him. If, however, for any reason you don't want this kind of relationship, it would be best if you brought that out into the open.
You might say, "I'm feeling some different vibrations from you when we're together. Have your feelings for me changed? If they have, I'm flattered, but I'm a lot older than you are, and I wouldn't want you to be in a relationship that would cause you to miss out on anything you want in life. I think we should stay friends, what do you think?"
Even if the two of you aren't on the same page in your feelings for each other at the moment, it's always better to be open and honest, especially with good friends.
Be careful, though - I had a wonderful younger friend like yours once, and he got me to marry him! 🙂

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
