OTHER THAN COINCIDENCE; how do you explain premonitions... sure it is seeing into the future but what causes it and how does it work. I have kind of a long running theory about this and I want to see if anyone's idea is similar to mine.

Here's my theory. Time isn't as structured as we believe, or that it's structured in more of a "wavy" manner. When something seems familiar, or we feel we're aware of an event before it happens, I feel it's a future self recalling the memory of the event. This "future memory" can send a ripple back to a former self, to indirectly communicate the image.
I love talking about this kind of stuff. :)

Well, it could be that time is fixed and there is no free will, or "choice" in this case the future is just like the past and it MIGHT be the case that some people are receiptive to some sorts of particles or eminations from the future.
We have ABSOLUTELY no basis for believing this as a scientific fact but there are particles called tachions which can - according to physicists travel "backwards" and "forwards" in time, but we have never seen or detected such particles with equipment.
Personally, when I was younger I used to get Deja Vu and other precognitive sorts of experiences (prescient dreams etc), however, since I have/would only ever realize I had dreamed something or had Deja Vu just during or afterwards, it seems pretty useless since there's no real timestamp , don't go to the Trade Center on the 9/11/2001 or make sure you get off at the Cork, Ireland stop of the RMS Titanic.
It reminded me in a way of the Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken, spoofing his own performance of "The Dead Zone", he has the same contact prescience as in the movie, but in the skit he doesn't predict important stuff. He meets someone, gets the startled look , and then makes a prediction like "You're going to go home tonight.......there's gonna be traffic...." or "You're going to have a ham sandwitch for lunch.....it's gonna be bad..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RQtK1B6uyk (at about 5:24)

ok there is the coincidence factor and "we remember only the remarkable" aspect, but
apart from that there is some other thing.
Human mind is not operating logically all the time we are gifted with non linear thinking , perception and various other subtle features. Our observations always prompt us to predict something. This was a good survival trait at times we didnt have much in our brains other than mere survival. so at that time may be we were geared to take as many cues as possible and guess in a judicious way, guessing ability increases with more and more trials. so the brain has developed and analysis system that is not completely illogical neither is it 100% logical.
so at times without our thinking purposefully about some sequence of events such events could occur to us in our mind, this is not completely obvious the brain fills in lots of blank spaces of the story. But as that external sequence of events match ours then we are startled at the powers of premonition.
may be this could be practised and may be people who are conscious and in tune with a given situation could think of the conclusion.

there's a idea in quantum physics that states that element isn't linear and that activities contained in the destiny can deliver "ripples" backward contained in the timeline and result previous activities. it truly is glaring that some human beings have the capacity to experience those "ripples" to three volume. subsequently ensuing in a experience of dread formerly a foul experience. a superb social gathering is how quite a few human beings refused to board the vast at the same time as it grow to be docked in Europe, some days formerly it sank.

Many of us have a guardian spirit or one that we can work with as a guide and we can channel (I hate that word) the energy one way or another. How we interpret the information is where we go wrong, often to the point where when somebody is right it looks like coincidence.
Nostradamus made his mark by looking into a bowl of water but his quatrains are (for the most part) so vague they can be to make almost anything come true.
How many people saw the danger around the World Trade Centers before 9/11? Probably a LOT. How many got it right? 1 that I know of.
Our interpretive skills need work

Why do you rule out the real explanation (namely coincidence) from the beginning? It is like saying what is 1+1, except 2. Your reasoning is flawed, sorry.

Dreaming and day dreaming. We revisit the events and experiences we live through when we dream and the mind trys to make sense of it all. Sometimes things just pop out that make sense that something is probable to happen.

Coincidence is all you need to explain something that really doesn't need any explanation to begin with. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes, and a person can on rare occasion dream up events that resemble actual future events. It's coincidence.

They are coincidence and if you wrote down everyone you had you'd find you were wrong just about all the time. We tend to remember only the ones that are true or we change our memory to think we were right.

this is something that,has to do with energy ,as to how explain
this,well it happens in many forms,sleeping,awake,seeing a
person,touching something,-it just happens and practically
there is no how to explain this phenomenon,just happens
