This was not a dream but it was very interesting. Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

I have that gift.....sometimes it is a curse. It isn't always active and I don't know why.
I started these premonitions back when I was 13 years old.
I could write a book about it. Sometimes I don't interrupt a intuition or feeling correctly.
Once I felt a life or death feeling when a friend visited her parents. I worried that one of her parents would die while she was on the trip. What actually happened was that my friend found out that she was pregnant......which was the life part of my intuition.
A couple of years ago a thought washed over me that my X boyfriend's mother would die. I wondered if I should call him or his sister. Three days after my thought I got an email from my X bf and he said his mother died three days ago. He and I have a strong spiritual bond between us.
I have seen accidents in my head and around the next corner is an accident. I have predicted things that no one else would expect. My X used to hate my premonitions and never believed me. So, I started to write them down, put them in an envalope and have my X put them in our house safe. I didn't have the combination to. My predictions were always right. Even when a year or two passed.
My biggest insight was one I had while living back east...my kids were on the west coast. I kept having a vision of a gravesite funeral. The picture was crystal clear. I saw three men who had been or were in my life. I was convinced that I needed to get back home because I needed to die there. (there were other reasons for the move) Still that vision kept visiting my mind.
Then the day I was burrying my 21 year old son . I was sitting in front of the hole in the ground with the family. My X husband was there, my X boyfriend was there and my currrent boyfriend was there. It wasn't until that moment sitting there watching the Air Force Color guard folding the flag on my son't casket did I have that vision again...and I realized I came home not to die, but to burry my son. Boy of boy that was a huge premontion.
I believe that some of us have the gift to cross over for a moment to the spiritual side of life and we are given such visions. I don't understand the why of it, I just know that for me it is very real.

It's not all about dreams...it's just a strong feeling. I grew up with people in my family having things happen all the time (usually little things). Sometimes it's just an urge to do something or say something that seems very odd if you are looking at it, but it feels necessary at the time.
A theory is that it's reading of brain waves, and that maybe they aren't 100% time dependent? My sister used to get them with much more frequency when it related to or we were around our father (which didn't happen all that often).
My mother has known someone was dead by hearing the missing person report and gotten very anxious about a missing person from our county about the same time her body was recovered (without knowing it was being dug up...just felt the sudden urge to ask about if there had been any updates at that time). And she hates playing cribbage, because she frequently knows which card will come up (and she hates getting such feelings, so she tries to minimize them -- including trying to avoid walking past machines with the claws that toys can be pulled out of...because she's good at predicting what someone can pull out and when, I've never seen her be wrong and it always happens the 1st try).
The only one I've personally had was just a really strong desire to buy a bag of chips from a vending machine that were a kind I didn't like. I couldn't understand it, so I went to another building and looked at the exact same kind of chips in that vending machine...and I didn't want those. So I went back to the first vending machine, bought the bag of chips, found a winning game piece on them (I didn't even see that there was a game piece on them before I purchased it), and then gave the bag of chips away.
But as a super analytical person, such things are hard to reconcile. I wouldn't believe in them if I hadn't grown up seeing them.

A gift is something that can be controlled, IMHO. I have these premonitions/dreams but hardly any control over when, where, these thoughts will come to me. And even if a person dreams of a plane crash; no one will listen until after it happens. It's fun to check up on people and events but as for "some use"; I guess maybe I just don't know enough about these abilities.

The first time I remember (though probably not the first time it occurred) I was 12 or 13 and I dreamed that my I was sitting on my grandparents porch of their South Philly row home looking out the window and crying because my grandfather had died. He was not sick at the time, but the dream really freaked me out. My mother had always gotten feelings about things. I was afraid to tell anyone about the dream. I was afraid he would die because of me, because I had the dream. Over the course of the next 6 months he had heart problems struggled with them and died.
This has happened with dreams about my grandmother (his wife) many years later, the family dog (16 yrs.old-poodle), and recently I had one about a friend who I called and urge to quit smoking go to for a physical. I get feelings about things often, sometimes involving sensations, such as sounds or smells that I interpret in my mind but aren't really in the air (hear or smell in my head).
I don't always know what these feelings mean. When I am very close to someone, I know what they are thinking without them saying. Not that I hear their thoughts or anything like that, just that I know their heart, mind and can write their answer to a question down verbatim. Or guess which card they have, or buy the perfect gift-- the thing the have been wanting or wishing for or almost just bought themselves because I just KNOW.
When I was in college I had a premonition that I was going to be in a bad accident and that I was not going to live thru it. I told one friend who I was close with. I even had letters written for a few people and told her were they were. I lived thru it, after they brought me back, but had severe brain injury, a near death experience (no long hall or tunnel and can't remember any light, but there was that feeling of being surrounded by love and I did "communicate" with my grandfather and bring back a message for my mother). I was left paralyzed on my entire right side and had to learn everything all over, including chewing, swallowing, talking, reading, everything.
I was told I wouldn't walk, my response to the five doctors standing around me was, "Watch me." And they did. Couldn't feel my foot on the floor, but with parallel bars, I did it. Today I once again limp, but didn't for years. Recovery took ten years total.
My intuitions are stronger since then. When I became pregnant the first time I knew it was a girl. The ultrasound tech asked me if I wanted to know and I simply told her I already knew, its a girl. And she said, "Yes, it is." I now have a daughter who gets feelings about things. And she and I often say or do the same thing at the same time. My friends often call me a soothsayer. Don't know how or why, don't question it anymore. It is what it is. It's not as strong as it could be, or as directed, but....

This happens to me rather often. If I dream of someone I haven't seen or thought of in a long time I can be sure that I will bump into them within a few days. It's weird but it happens all of the time.
I have also dreamt other things that have happened to people close to me, but most of the time it is people that I haven't seen and then I dream of them and end up seeing them. It doesn't matter if it has been a year or 10 years since I last saw them.

Many times. I think we all do and I also think that it is normal versus something exceptional.
I dreamed I saw one of my boyfriend's walking down the street and we met and took a walk to the beach. That (next) night I walked downtown, as I usually did a few nights a week. and there he was in the exact spot and yes we did walk out to the beach but I let him have the idea as I was trying to see if my dream really was coming true.
He lived out of town so I never saw him but every 6 months or less. It was a pretty cool thing.

I think I've only had just one that I can remember which came true, in a sense I guess. I had a dream where in the dream my car battery died and then when I went to start my car in the morning, my battery was dead. Scorpio Sun Aqua Moon Scorpio Mercury Sag Venus Aries Mars Sag rising

well I've had two dreams that were Premonitions. the first one i saw myself at a snack table at a party chatting with friends listening to the music nothing fancy then then one of the musicians missed note and cursed. well when I woke up i thought it was funny cause i never go to parties. like a month later i was helping my friend make a film for one of her classes and it was a party scene and everything happened as in my dream and i looked at the guy right be for he cursed . other other dream i saw me and some one talking with two people in ac car and i was sorta leaning on the window seal of the drivers side. but because of shadows i couldn't tell who the people in the car were or who was with me. about a month later my mother and i were talking to my friend and her mother in their car. (different friend). it was just like in my dream. once things that were in my dream started happening in got this funny DE ja vue feeling s and the nit would hit me i saw this and i would automatically look to were i knew the next thing was going to happen be for it happened. i know neither of these things were important or anything but they still happened exactly as i saw them . I am working on trying to grow that abilities or what ever you want to call it.
