I am not sure what my experiences premonitions but I will share with you my occurences..
Firstly from the ages of a five or six I could sense danger or difficult situtuation. I was always one of the last to leave the play ground at lunch time at school. This particular day I was wandering rather slowly to my class room when some young men shook a bag at me - I thought it was lollies but something warned me to just run to my class room and I did.
I have alsways been able to pick up on whether a bad occurence has taken place at a house or medical centre. For example I was sitting in the waiting room of this medical centre but I had to leave - there was such a bad vibe and a little while later I found out two years ago there had been a shooting there.
I lived in this house and the two room at the back had burnt down years before - but the place had a really unsettling feeling and I later found out that some one had died there.
We always went on holidays at this particular river area. When we arrived my sister and I wanted to leave. Also other people who had been long term residents had left - when we finally left after my sister and I got upset at this one particular area - I found out sometime later (we had no access to papers or radio) that a lady had been hit with a tire cleaver and killed at that particular area which had caused us so much distress and that her husbad had got the boat and was looking for her- found her body and had a heart attack.
I have these feelings not to drive down certain roads only to have found out later there was a major car accident - in fact they occur so frequently its really hard to sift through them - I simply make decisions based on these feelings.
When I was 28 I had a very bad accident I rolled my 4 cylindar honda civic down this road twice. It was pretty awful and the paramedics thought I was dead but all I had was 9 multiply fractured ribs and a punctured lung - a lot better than being dead. Why I think I got off lightly considering I rolled a small car was the fact that I got some very specific instructions before the accident. These instructions included put 5 litres of petrol in the tank instead of filling up the tank that day. I am a creature of habbit and I always on pay day fill up the tank but I listened to this instruction even "arguing" but i felt that it would get me home and back to work in the morning and I could fill up tomorrow. THis feeling was felt rather than heard. I also went into the shop and was confronted with a pyramid of 5 litres of castrol motor oil and again instructed to buy it. Again I had this mini arguement - I am from the country I have oil and water in the boot why would I want to buy more oil?? But I did. And when I went to put the oil in the boot again "told" to put it in the passenger seat which I did. So when I went through a give away sign and all the windows smashed - the impact exploded my car oil container in the passenger seat and I was coated in oil. The car rolled twice but did not explode because there was not enough petrol in the tank. The doors buckled and all the contents was thrown around the car and fell out of the windows but I was safe coated in oil. What can I say I was "assisted" by unknown forces.
Alice Laughing says " Everytime she ignores these feelings she would be sorry" and I agree - there is a built in belief that if I ignore them there will be terrible consequences so I listen.
Sometimes I always dont get it right, sometimes I dont get warnings - like my friends husband killed himself and I just did not pick it up at all, and I am intune to these things and that is a great sense of disappointment to me. But I will keep listening to the inner voice because it helps. A policeman once said people should always listen to their inner voices or gut feelings. I tell my son to listen to his inner voice and go with his intutition, and people I know who do this with their children find their children make decisions based on gut feelings rarely get into trouble.
Also I disagree with sivresearch about the essence of life not being enjoyed - your essence of life is enhanced by not making silly mistakes that could cost you your life or some one elses. You probably do get these feelings but dont tune into them. As for psychological disorders - there is a big difference in a psychological disorder and a warning . People get warnings all the time and they just listen and its proven right. Like my sister with the bombings in 2005 in London. She was running late, she eventually got to the train station and suddenly had this idea to catch another train, which she did and missed the bombings by 10 minutes before the first bomb went off..........................
