A premonition can be a warning of events that are to come without having any solid proof to support the feelings or the visions. By definition, a premonition is a feeling that something, especially something unpleasant is going to happen. Premonitions come in a variety of ways and take on different forms. They can be dreams, messages from people who died, or they can be that gut feeling that you have that something is off track in a situation.
It
also can be a psychic ability to pick up on things that no one else can. People
over the years have had premonitions of pending disasters and illness. There
were premonitions in the Bible to
warn people about possible problems or challenges. Premonitions are a gift
to help mankind survive as a species. They are an essential tool that can help
others and give us a glimpse into the unknown. We are more than physical beings
and all of us can transcend this world no matter what our destiny is. Having a
premonition is a starting point.
There are times, however, when a premonition is so strong that the one experiencing it has little doubt that it is going to happen. These powerful premonitions are much rarer but happen often enough that some paranormal researchers believe they are real. Some people seem to be more sensitive to these types of feelings, and may be called "sensitives" or "psychics."
These feelings are also most powerful among close relatives, where the psychic bond seems to be strongest. Premonitions can be as subtle as a gnawing feeling or can be so overwhelming that they jolt you out of your everyday routine and prevent you from thinking of little else. They can be vague (nothing more than a feeling), or they can be so vivid that some experiencers say it is like watching a film. Premonitions can foretell something that happens a minute later, or weeks or months later. They can come while you're active, or they can come in dreams. How do you document your premonition? There are several credible ways:
- Keep a diary: Get a journal and write down in
detail any premonitions you might have. Be sure to note the time and date
that you experienced it. The weakness in this method, as far as
verification by others is concerned, is that such diaries can be altered
and faked -- putting down a pre-dated notation for an event that's already
happened. The
value of a diary,
assuming you are being honest, is that you have a personal record of your
premonitions, the success rate of which you can track.
- Tell others: Don't keep your premonitions a
secret. You won't want to become an annoying bore by barraging your
friends with every little premonition you have, but if you think it may be
something important, tell someone you trust. It's another piece of
evidence. Using the example above, you'd certainly want to surprise your
sister Mary with your premonition about her pregnancy before she has a
chance to tell you. The weakness in this method is that it, too, relies on
human honesty and sometimes faulty memories. Using e-mail might be better.
Although e-mails can be altered, they are initially date-stamped.
- Use a
date-stamped location: The best way to
document your premonition is in a date-stamped location that is not in
your control. You might want to use the Premonitions
Project or
similar database to enter your premonition.
“What is second
sight? A gift [or] training. Or is it simply that suddenly within the brain
a thousand impressions, ideas, sights, sounds, and smells coincide to provide
an impression of what is to be? The mind gathers its grain in all fields…” (Louis
L’Amour)[i]
