In the early 1960's when I was in my teens, living in Ottawa, Ontario I woke up one morning and asked my mother what had happened to the swimmer who had been attacked by a shark. She said I must have had a bad dream and no one had been attacked.
Later that day it was reported on the radio that a swimmer in Florida had been attacked by a shark and was in critical condition. My whole family was surprised and that was when I first understood what a "premonition" was.
In my twenties I had a premonition of an accident near my home and two days later a car crashed on the street where I lived. I don't understand how either of these could have happened. I often dream of "real events" and now just laugh if a coincidence occurs. I believe that is all it is...a coincidence.

Premonitions are hard to explain. I was only four when the phone rang about 8 in the morning. Before anyone had answered it I said, 'Grandma's dead.' And she was.
A few years later my father woke up and said to my mother that he had had a horrible dream about a neighbouring village which he couldn't understand because it was a farming village and it involved heavy machinery. About an hour later he received a call (he was the vicar) telling him that someone from the village had been killed in a freak accident. His back lights weren't working and the police had stopped him. A lorry laden with heavy machinery ran into the back of his car.
My daughter was looking forward to coming to me for Christmas. It was the end of November and although she was already 35, I picked up an Advent Calender with the idea of sending it to her so she could count the days. I got to the cash-out and abandoned the calender. Soon after getting home I got a phone call to say that she had died.
These weren't premonitions in the strictest sense, because the events had already happened. But why? Don't ask.
When my son was in a dangerous situation in Turkey, I was sitting alone watching TV when I put out my hand and touched him and asked, 'did you see that?' But he wasn't there. I felt his jacket under my fingers. It really freaked me out. When he returned, I told him about it. He simply said, 'I often came to you whilst I was away.'

I have them all the time and most of the time they scare me........ I see things just like the girl in Final destination.. I see my husband getting killed on a motorcycle so he is NOT allowed on one. I once saw my daughter passed out in somebodies back yard when I described the back yard to her she then told me that her boyfriend at the time was having a party and she was going. Because i described the deck in the backyard with the string of lights between the levels she decided she would go and NOT take a drink or anything from anybody. turned out somebody was slipping pills in the girls drinks and she had her own bottled water!

I wouldn't call it that. Once I had a dream about something minor that came true.
