I read some archived posts about the GATE program and similar programs for gifted elementary school students, and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience to me or can chime in here.

I was in the GATE program in CA, and remember taking the test which had some problem-solving and I specifically remember it having some shape puzzles, (i.e. if I fold a paper like this, where does this dot end up on the final folded page etc.)

It's almost like a blind spot in my memory other than that. Other people talk about being in a classroom with covered windows, and my mom says I did some advanced assignments but I don't recall any of it.

Fast forward to my teenage years and adulthood, I've had several instances where I dream something vividly and it comes true in the next few days/ weeks. I don't claim to have any other 'gifts' but the dreams alone I don't know how to explain. I used to also have pretty extreme night terrors/sleep paralysis, but that could be unrelated since there is some science to explain why people get those

Anyway -- did we get MK-ultra'ed in there? Why can't I remember any of it? Was GATE program a CIA program for kids with ESP? Let me know ur thoughts...

by chance, do you have blue eyes? do you have blonde hair? did you have a near death experience as a child? if so, was it drowning?

I remember my mom telling me my school wanted me for one of these classes but she declined because she didn't like me being alone with just 2 adults in a separate building from the rest of the school.



I'm dark-haired/brown-eyed but I have the bump and near-death experiences. I was born 2 weeks early but it was because my mom needed a C-section or we both might have died. I had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck and she was too small a woman to safely give birth,

i think c-section is also common among GATE kids

I was a gate kid in the early 2010s and I went through the exact same shit. Birth complications included
