How can you tell if you have real premonitions?
100490
Real premonitions are rather specific. Everytime I have one I actually FEEL everything going on. I hear, taste, touch, and even smell in premonitions. I do not do so in dreams. Not all premonitions come true. Outcomes can be changed by forewarning people, or merely changing the situation.

It's interesting to come across this question. I was talking to someone the other day who woke up with a feeling something really bad was going to happen the same day that he got arrested after DUI. Was it really a premonition, or did he just act stupid because he had that feeling and brought the whole situation onto himself?\nSometimes I feel I have premonitory feelings, that are very clear, but none of them has come true. I wonder whether they aren't real, or whether I have so far been able to turn the bad things that were about to happen to me into nothing just by having premonitory thoughts. \nAnyways...

Go on dreaming and the abilities increase on its own. Your sixth sense is working. Make the best use of it. But why are you foreseeing only bad things. Turn them into positive thinking, and see good things happen.

I absolutely believe that it is possible as I have had it happen to me. But...not all premonitions come true. I feel that you should go on as planned and see what happens. Maybe he'll have another "feeling" that it will happen or maybe he will find out what you both can do to ensure it does happen.

Dreams are usually manifestations of what you were thinking while awake. They can mean just about whatever you want them to mean.

In reality or in their dreams?

Interesting question!  I am really looking forward to the answers on this one.\n\nI used to think I was having past life memories.  I was having a deja vu-type experience very often, like every few hours.  I would remember a memory that wasn't my own.  To this day I'm not sure whats happening when it occurs (still pretty much daily) but I'm sure its just some wires getting crossed in my brain somehow.

There are webs sites about dream interpretations and lots of books from the book store or library.  Sometimes dreams have personal symbolic meanings.  You should observe the moods you are in during the dream and the colours and events. Record your dream on paper as soon as you remember them then look them up in books or web. sweet dreams :-)

I've had quite a few dreams in which I was aware that I was dreaming. In the past what I've done is to suggest to myself before I went to sleep that I would be aware that I was dreaming while it happened. I did this nightly and after a while it began to work! Another technique I've used is to ask myself at various times during the day, "Am I dreaming? How do I know?" and consider how my experience was different from a dream. I found that I would begin to ask myself this during dreams.

Annoying when responders can be too bloody literal, wouldn't you agree?\n\nI was walking last night looking up at the stars and wondering almost the same question, "Is this life a very long very detailed dream we'll someday wake out of?"\nI myself have incredibly vivid, sometimes wild and unbelievable dreams, and sometimes so real that it's a distinct relief when I wake from it. \nA friend and I have thought that some of the more fantastic "almost another world" sort of dreams are just that, our celestial bodies mingling with other realities and possibly other parallel planes of existance. \nOf course I can't prove any of that, it's my own personal experience, but it's real for me and therefore valid.\n\nI myself have experienced what Prof Beatz mentioned about not being able to make lights come on, and not being able to read things written on paper (though I have sometimes and I get the feeling if I could just remember what it said it would be very revealing).\n\nMatrix really spooked me because of my open-mindedness, but if it turns out I'm on some feeding tube of the worst stuff possible and still able to be this real in my mind, then I'll take contentment for the moment. \n\nKeep seeking your own answers....

In Paganism, premonitions are a part of psychic ability. The average human would call it "Deja-Vu" faut de meaux, because they don't understand it. What it is, basically, is that it tells what your mind's eye and subconscious are capable of. \n\nPagans believe in two types of spirits... Eudaemons, or the christians' "angel", and the Kakodaemons, or the christians' "demon." Each is a representative of something you hope for, and something you fear.The eudaemons ar helpful happy spirits that are there to help you out of a dangerous situation. the kakodaemons are Loki's generation of mischievous behavior that is usually treacherous to a person.

I hadn't heard that before. If they are then it is your own personal truth. I don't think I do believe this statement. Dreams are the minds way of assisting you to sort throught a puzzle or dilemma or problem. Something you might not have even realised consciously that you were pondering. I am talking about the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind. If a dream is not precognitive ie. a vision of a future event (most dreams are not precognitive), then it is a dramatisation by the mind using expressions, images, words etc that are known to yourself. The mind generates a play if you like and you the sleeper are the only audience. So you are the only one who can recognise the images/expressions used in the play to understand what if any underlying message is there. Knowing this then saying dreams are the invention of truth is quite a sweeping generalisation which in fact, does not really tell you anything at all. Sounds like pretentious rubbish to me.

Hypnosis is one way. Psychic readings is another. Sometimes a thing like dream analysis can be a key. There are a lot of ways to "remember" past lives. You might do a web search on "past life regression" and see what it turns up. But, mostly, either hypnosis or a good psychic. And this I speak on from personal experience 'cause I've been down that road. :-)

Hi there,\n\nIf this is really true, you must be a psychic. Personally, I've never met a real one who could prove anything justifiable to me. If you do, you'd be the first. I recommend that you watch out for it, because you could be onto something here, and you could potentially save a lot of people's lives. \nJust to make sure though that you aren't just fooling yourself (as the brain sometimes tends to do), after each dream of a tragedy, write down exactly what you remember you dreamed (each time, even if you think it is a repeat) as soon as you wake up. Then if a tragic event occurs which matches up to it - you might actually be a psychic!\n\nBUT! just be careful of how you interpret what you've written down after the dream. I've heard of people who thought they predicted tragedy's with dreams but in actual fact they just had a really bad dream before the event, and their brain made the logical transition of their dream having predicted that event - simply because we have a tendency to feel our dreams are more important than they really are, and our mind needs to make logical sense of this. \n\nStill, I won't say I don't believe you are a psychic, because you might be, but I think you should prove it to yourself first by trying the exercise above.\n\nI hope that's what you were looking for,\nFahed\n\nP.S. I'm intrigued, I hope that if you try this little activity out and then let us all know somehow if it works.
