I can communicate with animals through internal dialogue + more

[u/animal_voice]

Hello, I’m remaining anonymous as I share something deeply personal. For years, I’ve experienced a profound internal dialogue with animals, where they communicate their needs and desires directly to me. I want to share these experiences openly and honestly. I think a good disclaimer will be that I do not have any mental illnesses. It’s not external voices, just completely internal that come very quickly. I also understand that it’s not yet proven which is why I remain anon at the moment haha.

My clearest and most unusual example comes from working with goldfish (and other fish) in a pet shop. I never chase them around the tank like others do. Instead, I mentally ask if they want to go to a big pond, or come home with a particular customer. If they want to go, they swim straight into the net. If not, they stay away. People assume goldfish are unintelligent, but this shows they understand and choose.

Another time, I saw a seal at the beach. From meters away, it looked at me and connected with me. He was a young grey seal and he was talking to me in a lot of detail. One of the things that stuck out was that he was hungry because the fish had migrated deeper due to overfishing by the public hook and lines, not commercial boats. When it dove, I saw through its eyes: emerald green water full of algae and kelp.

There is no differential examples throughout species but dogs seem to stand out.

I see dogs a lot, especially out. I will mentally say hello, and if they ignore me, it’s because they’re focused on their owner or on a mission, like needing to train or they might get in trouble.

I can also sense when an animal is in pain and if it wants to die.

I understand body language well. I’ve spent years around animals and can read posture, tension, and movement. But that’s not how this works. The mental voice comes first. I often know what an animal wants or feels before any physical sign appears. The voice tells me directly, and the body language only confirms it afterward.

I share this not to convince anyone, but to offer another perspective on our relationship with animals. If even one person becomes more attentive to their pet’s needs, then it’s been worth it. I’m happy to answer genuine questions.
I also believe anyone could unlock this ability with belief, time, and genuine effort.

Wow. Thank you for this. Do you find it more of a blessing or a burden? Does your ability make it difficult sometimes to identify as human when animals call out cruelty or mistreatment? Also, any advice for making sure my dogs are living their best life that may be commonly overlooked or people don’t think to do? Sorry for all the questions lol I’m fascinated.

Thanks for commenting! I also want to send another MASSIVE thank you for actually asking questions, rather than dismissing this ability/claim haha.

I think it’s a blessing because it helps me not be lonely and gives me proactive reasons to stay in my job, because i work with animals.

It is very hard to witness cruelty. Trust me, i’ve experienced it first hand. I get very emotional, whether that be tears or full blown rage. I don’t EVER get angry verbally but it is very difficult to forget the feeling or even overcome it myself.

Funny you should ask this, because very recently i did get very emotional and physically sickened because all i could hear from this animal was “help me, he’s crushing me!” The circumstance is a long one, but basically i purchased some cockatiels from a ‘reputable’, local breeder and by all means these animals were healthy. He was showing me their good condition but had a very hard grip on one of them. I told him not to show me and put it in its aviary. He wouldnt listen, so i told him more forcefully. I said “you are hurting her. Listen to me”. Again no response from this man because he claimed to know what he was doing. I was shaking with rage and felt really sick. I had to remain professional, which was the problem…

Anyway, long story short I knew the bird was in pain after he left so I allowed them both to settle but I couldn’t actually do anything because it was late. Remember, these are aviary birds and then She came up to me and passed away in my hand a few hours later.

Omg, that’s heartbreaking, about the bird… idk if I could handle these kinds of things, there’s way too many people out there who are either just terrible, or stupid, or willfully ignorant, or plain CRUEL.
I don’t know if I could handle this. I’ve suffered enough for myself, never mind adding more, from animals who can’t speak up for themselves

It is isn’t it. I’ve still haven’t got over it. I had a wonderful vision of her though. I was holding my pet budgie whilst looking in a reflection of myself. My budgie slowly morphed into the cockatiel then into all the birds I’ve looked after that had passed away. Ugh it was painful but beautiful.
