Premonitions

Have any of you ever had a really strong feeling like, "Something isn't right about this" and has it changed the course of your actions, or didn't and you were right - or wrong - about your feeling?

I was surfing the Wikipedia yesterday and got to an article about how Johnny Cash's brother died in a circular saw accident and it said that morning his mother had a bad feeling about it and tried to talk him out of working and going fishing instead but he insisted to go, and suffered the fatal accident.

For me, I can only recall it one time, and I did listen to my intuition. It doesn't really make for an interesting story, because I don't know what I would have avoided by not letting this guy borrow my car. But at 9 the night before he was supposed to borrow it, I called him nearly in tears saying, "I can't tell you why you can't use my car tomorrow, but you can't. I'm sorry." He was a little annoyed about it but what could he do? That feeling was way too strong and I couldn't ignore it.

I also remember when I was a teenager, the day my father died of a heart attack, the whole day he was really nice to my brother and sister and me (he always was nice, but that day he was extra attentive), and told us over and over that we should always remember that he loves us. Then he took my mom out to the movies that night which was something that he never did. He never came home. I think he knew that whole day what was up, that something wasn't right, and wanted to get out of the house so that us kids wouldn't have to deal with any of the panic or the immediate situation.

Has anyone else ever had any kind of foreboding experience like that? Did you make any decision to not do something you were going to do, or did you do it anyway and find out your nerves were nothing to worry about, or was there a consequence that you "knew" would happen?

My friends sister told her dad one night (she pulled a dress out of her closest) and said that this was to be her angel dress and that she would always be his angel, that week she passed in a car accident with a diesel truck, she hydroplaned in the rain.

i had a similar experience with something like this i guess... when i first moved to georgia i met these girls... and one day they asked me to go somewhere with them... and after we got there i had the strangest feeling to just leave and go home... i thought about not telling them at all.. but i decided to let them know i was going to leave... but i should have went with my instinct and just left... because when i told them i was leaving.. LITERALLY like 1 minute after that.. they jumped me... but karma sucks...

i think about it alot.. i should of just left

I got one about my hubby. We were going through a rough patch in our marriage and were seperated for about seven months. We decided to work things out. Well, he was living in Virginia and I was back home with my mom in Louisiana. He came down to see us for the holidays since I had yet to move back to be with him because he was looking for a decent place to live. Well, I had a dream that he was getting inappropriate texts from random girls. Well, when I woke up, I had the sudden urge to go through his text messages. We were leaving to go to a Christmas party and he forgot something in the house. I took that chance to go through his phone since he left me and it in the truck. Needless to say, the dream I had became a reality.

We've, since then, worked through that rough patch as well.

Quoting meridian:“ Have any of you ever had a really strong feeling like, "Something isn't right about this" and has it ... [snip!] ... you do it anyway and find out your nerves were nothing to worry about, or was there a consequence that you "knew" would happen?”

sometime ppl know when they're time is up. my cousin called his mother up hours before he was murdered telling her how much he loved her. some ppl just know.

i have a story... when i was about 15 me and mi dad was driving back from camping which was like 4 hours away from our house.. well we was about 30 min away from home and in mi city we have fireworks the same time every year.. well dad decided it was a good idea - i have no idea why to pull over on the side of the high way (there was massss room on the side of the high way) soi decided to get out and stretch while the fireworks were going on .. but this this overwhelming feeling come over me like something bad was about to happen so i was i started to walk towards mi dads truck .. what do you kno i look over and a car is coming 80 plus miles right at mi dads truck .. so i stepped away from the truck because i wasnt yet in it .. well the car swirved and went around it almost hitting me.. soo mi dad almost saw me get hit and for sure woulda died but because i got that feelin i was alert & have no idea how how tit happend.   glad im living lol

My dad is creepy, twice he has remembered a name from high school, written it down and then two weeks later we figure out that they died. Before I found out I was pregnant he would come up to me and tell me how much he wanted a grandbaby, which was weird for him to come to me because I had just started dating my fiance and my brother was getting married. Well turns out when he started talking about grandbabys was around about the time this little miracle started to grow.

I can't really come up with anything large or life changing as an anecdote here, but I get "gut feelings" about whether or not things will work out frequently, and I'm almost always right.

Though, part of me feels that I foresaw my mother's death.

I had a dream that my sister called me, sobbing. I don't recall what her problem was, but she was extremely distraught. I asked her why she didn't call mom, because we both went to mom when we needed comfort or advice, and she told me "I can't".

Shortly after that I was woken by my father calling me to tell me my mother was in the ICU and they didn't expect her to live, and she died the next morning at 8am.

I remember one night,probably about 6 years ago..I was sleeping and my brother came knocking on the door. I let him in and talked to him long enough for him to tell me him and his current girlfriend at the time[babys mom] got into it really bad. Then he walked into the kitchenand I laid back down in the living room and pretended to be asleep [I didnt want to deal with the drama since it was like..2, or 3am]. I had this horrible feeling that something bad was going to happen if I went to sleep, so I debated with myself about going into the kitchen cause I really didnt want to be put in the middle of their fight. Finally, I got up and walked into the kitchen, only to find him sitting at the tablewith akitchen knife at his arm =\.. I had to talk him out of killing himself that night and I dont know how I would have lived with myself if I wouldve ignored that feeling and gone to sleep..

One night when I was eh, 15? My boyfriend wanted to go hang out with these guys in the boonies to get drunk. My mom said I couldn't go, and I wasn't going to lie to her...so I just didn't go. Well, later I got this feeling (before he left) that something was going to go wrong. He *promised* me that everything would be fine, and went ahead to the party.

Later on that night we found out that my sister had run away with her boyfriend at the time. I was the only one who knew where he lived so it was really lucky that I didn't go with Shane because I spent all night trying to call him but he didn't have service on his cell phone.

Also the next day I found out that Shane had been busted. His parents grounded him for a year. That was a really long year. -.-

I have another one. I think I was in the fifth or sixth grade. My grandfather was sick with lymphoma (cancer of the lympnodes) and was in the hospital. Well, my mom was going to the hospital to visit him (he's her dad) and she asked my grandmother on my dad's side to watch us. I knew something wasn't right, so I refused to get out of the car as she was dropping us off. I threw the biggest fituntil she finally gave in and took me. I knew in my heart that something wasn't right. As soon as we got to the hospital and I noticed my uncle crying, I knew that my grandfather died.

well it doesnt predict someones death or any thing like that but still interesting a few hours ago me n my bf were just sitting home watching TV. i told him to go to the store cuz i wanted some pop even though there was some here n i didn't really want pop i just wanted him to walk to the store for some odd reason. he found 50 dollars at the bus stop in front of our house on the way to the store.

Premonitions are not 'just a feeling' you actually see something happening before it actually happens. You are talking about two different things.

But to answer your question, yes, I do get premonitions, in my dreams. I can't control them, nor do I realize that I have them until they actually happen. You can call them 'De ja vu" moments but when they happen as often as they do for me, I know better.

I've had that happen to me, where I either know something happened without being told, or I sense something will happen.

First, in the sixth grade the nurse came into our classroom & started talking about bicycle safety. She was saying we should always look out for cars before crossing the street. Turns out one of our classmates was hit by a car, but he was fine. The car just hit his front wheel & toppled him over. But he didn't even have a scratch and said it was his fault for not looking even though the light was green. Well I just got a gut feeling it was my uncle...I get home & ask my aunt if anything happened to my uncle that day. She looked at me with this weird look & asks if I heard anything, I told her no. Then she proceeded to tell me what happened.

Also in 2002, I was outside with a group of friends. And we we're planning to go to the movies, all of a sudden I got a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. So I started running home, I ran to my parent's room, and my mom opened the door crying. She told me my nephew had been in a horrible accident and was in emergency surgery.

I also have where I know what people are thinking, and when I dream things before they happen. I seem to always get a bad feeling right before something bad happens in my family.

I normally follow my gut feelings just because i think i should! I had a gut feeling in december i needed to go see my father and so i did and when i left he sobbed like a baby and of course that was because he knew he'd never see his daughter or grandson ever again. and by january he had passed away so im really glad i followed that one. i never would have forgiven myself if he hadnt ever seen his only grandchild! He lived pretty far away so that was unfortunate as well! we didnt have the money to visit frequently  ok enough rambling on.. so

yes premonitions are good things!
