How can you 'tell' when things are about to happen?

Question

Ever thought of something, and then it happens? Like you think of an advert on TV, and then it comes on, or you think someone will say something, and they do. I get this all the time. If people are going to say or do something, I can just 'feel' it. How is this? Does anyone else get it? How do we know when they happen?

Answer 1

I don't know how we know what is going to happen, but it happens to me too. You get this feeling that something really bad is going to happen, or maybe just something really random. I think maybe your subconscious can "read" the world more than you think. Maybe without realizing it we are constantly anylizing things, so we see "signs" and then consciously think something is going to happen. It's just weird. A few months ago, I was going to text message my dad. But he was driving home and I got this bad feeling that he would crash if I texted him, so i didn't. the bad feeling stuck with me. half an hour later i got a call that he had flipped his truck and rolled across 2 other lanes on the highway, totaling his truck. Luckily, he was okay after a trip to the hospital. I knew something bad would happen before it even did. I guess people just have this strangs perception of things that we don't even understand.
