worlybear Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. Over the last 24 hours I have had a very intense feeling that someone close to me is going to die very soon. Please don't laugh and this is not wishful thinking(!) but it is my EX. I have had premonitions before and they have happened as I expected. I am very uncomfortable with this ,and all jokes aside, as I know how it must look- I'm finding it hard to deal with. I am keeping myself busy and my brain occupied but its there ,lurking at the back of my mind. Any thoughts?
quankanne Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I think that often, we overlook the fact that our brains are hard-wired to instinct of a certain kind, so things like "gut feeling" or "premonitions" or even a sixth sense about things fall by the wayside. obviously, your conscience is tapped into something deep regarding this person – ex or no – so maybe it's time to consider brief contact with this person (provided this isn't a psycho nutcase you're in danger of) just to cover all bases? Every so often I have a dream about the first guy I ever dated, and a strong, strong feeling comes over me that I need to check on him. Not because we're great friends or anything, but I think it's something innate that niggles at me when something big is going on with him, esp. since his mom died and I know it left a big void in his life ... would you feel comfortable contacting your ex? Just to say hi?
Taramere Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) I've had a couple of strange things like that. One time, years ago, I was on a bus and I suddenly started thinking about death and how I would cope if a family member died. Then I felt sick and dizzy to the extent that I had to get off the bus. I got home and slept for a couple of hours, then got a call from my mother to say that my brother had been in a motorcycle accident and was in hospital. He'd had a sudden dizzy spell, blacked out and crashed his bike off the road. Fortunately he wasn't badly injured. When I spoke to him, the time he'd crashed the bike would have been about the same time that I'd had the dizzy spell. We're not twins. Another time, again years ago, the family dog was due to give birth to a litter of puppies. I had this horrible dream that she gave birth to just one puppy - a poor, malformed, dead thing. I woke up, went through to the room she slept in and she was whining and giving me this "I've done something bad" look that dogs give you. The poor, malformed, dead puppy was lying a few feet away, as I knew it would be. It was odd, but I had the dream and I just knew that it was a premonition. It all felt very natural and unsurprising - though obviously upsetting. Part of me wonders if perhaps I'd been sleepwalking or something - but as far as I know I've never been prone to sleepwalking. I should add that I'm not someone who believes in clairvoyants as I tend to think they're just rip-off merchants who use Barnum statements to fool the vulnerable who are desperate to believe. On the other hand, I do think people sometimes have a sixth sense about things, people or situations that are very important to them. Edited October 4, 2010 by Taramere
Author worlybear Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 I have only very minimal contact with EX as his responses are so vitriolic and nasty- literally emailed him twice in the last 10 months, once to ask about oldest son (no reply) and then to tell him daughter has gone to uni, so talking is not high on the agenda- I've just let him get on with it. I have a very strong image of him in an open coffin with a waxy face,obviously dead and its totally freaking me out. I just can't shake the feeling and bad vibes and if I asked if he was ok I know I'd get a mouthful of abuse. By the way, I knew when my dog died and heard him howl (impossible as I worked 30 miles away) -it was 10.10 am and I was in the middle of teaching and I heard him. When I got back I knew he was dead before I went in the house. I know I am sensitive to things and have had minor brushes with esp(hearing footsteps, deja-vu but this is seriously scary!
Disillusioned Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I don't like it when that happens and I have no control over it when it does. Like when I think about some celebrity for no apparent reason, then I hear on the news in the next day or two that he or she just died. On 9-11, when I woke up to get ready for work, I turned on the TV... something I never, ever did when I wake up. But I turned it on that morning, and saw smoke coming out of the 1st tower. Too bad I don't have premonitions of a tall blonde woman or a sack with a dollar sign on it coming into my life...
enufdrama Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this issue, but I have on a few occasions realized I knew something before it happened. most of the time i chalk it up to instinct with some common sense. but there are times when its happened that I just can't explain how I somehow knew something. my mom passed away 15 years ago. somehow someway i had been given the thought or idea this was going to occur almost 1 year before it happened. and small things occurred throughout that year, that were so intense that i thought i was going crazy. i learned to dismiss them most of the time. but somehow i knew that would be her last christmas, i remember crying and thinking this, and not understanding it. I remember she wrote me a small note on a card and I knew that would be the last note my mother ever wrote me, so i had to protect it at all costs. And the last night i spent with her before she died, i somehow knew that would be the last time i would kiss her goodnight and i knew to pay attention to how it felt to hug her and the smell of her. I also knew the day i left her house that when i returned I would not see that house the same. I was in a panick before i left knowing someone was going to die, but who? Me? my dad? my baby? my husband? my mom? I didn't know what to do with this feeling or thought, I felt I was suppose to make a choice to save someone, and it was a horrible, horrible feeling. I rationalized out that I should go home with my husband and baby, because he always drove too fast on the trip back home if i wasn't in the car. But as we drove away I remember looking back and watching my dad and mom wave goodbye, i cried knowing something was going to change, i just couldn't put my finger on it. she died in a car accident a few days later at the age of 38. i was 20. i struggled with it for a while, wondering if i was suppose to do something, intervene. but i believe something was preparing me for what i felt was unimaginable. she was my best friend. If i would have stayed, me and my baby would have been in that car because we were suppose to go with her if I stayed. So maybe I did make the right choice. I believe it was my mom's time to go, she told me she would not live to be old. she just said she wanted to see me get married, see her first grandchild, and die quick without suffering. guess what? she got all of those. she died 1 year after I got married, her granddaughter was 9 months old and she died instantly. i miss her, but i hate when I get even the slightest bit of worry about something now. this was the most disturbing one. but there have been other times, not such big issues, but for ex.. once i knew that these people were at someone's house. my boyfriend was going to go there and somehow I knew they were there. he said no way, they never go there. and they don't. they lived 6 hours away. but somehow i had that feeling. I didn't buy it myself, just a feeling. but they were there. i felt their presence, since I have a strong dislike for them i guess. who knows. but i wish someone could explain this to me so i could know what to listen to and what not to. is it common sense, maybe subliminal signs we get, that lead up to an ultimate design or is it really a supernatural thing.
Author worlybear Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 Just an update. Just had emergency surgery and came close to not surviving:sick: ! Mentioned this in a different forum and someone reminded me of my premonition about ex and suggested that the bad vibes were my consciousness flagging up illness for me and I just mis-interpreted it. I really don't know but I 'm certain there's a greater entity out there.
Ella whispers Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 When I was 6 our family dog, which was my father's K9 dog as well, died of parvo. That changed our world. We moved, got another Shepherd and a swimming pool. I was in the pool and tried to swim through the ladder and got stuck. Last thing I remember from the water was looking up at the surface and being dizzy. Next thing, my upper body was hanging over the side and I was looking down at my mask. I felt a sadness that was unreal and I smelled like a wet dog. Our current Shepherd was asleep in the sun and as dry as could be and no one was home. Sometimes I still have vivid dreams of playing with him and wake up crying because I miss him so much. I believe that any emotional bond strong enough can have everlasting and remarkable effects on a person. Same with people. I've had feelings that were strong enough to make me say something and I was always glad I did.
