The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Recently i've been experiencing what my partner referred to as foresight. I've never had anything quite like this before, and i'd love some opinions on it.

First instance - I was at work on friday and I had a hunch to check a website for a detail that i'd emailed the webmaster about changing. The webmaster hadn't gotten back to me about it, but when I checked he'd made the change.

Second - Friday eve on the way to watch Gav's wrestlign show, I suddenly started working out the route from the venue to the nearest hospital. During the show - Gav split his lip open and we had to haul ass to the A&E for stitches.

Third - On the way to his grandparents yesterday I suddenly started thinking about chocolate. When we got there, his grandad gave us some chocholate.

OK, now i've written them out they seem like nothing but coincidence, but having three in the space of two days? Maybe i'm making too much of this, but as I said, i've never had anything like this before so i'd value some opinions from people who have.

I have this happen to me all the time. Never did put a name to it though. I have just learned to live with it.

I think the best way to tell is by making a note of what happens over a period of time.

That is a great idea Carvall! A journal of such events with dates at least would make it easier to track the frequency of them.

The first instance I would have to say is sheer coincidence.

The second instance, well, I'm sure there are a lot of people that think and prepare for the worst when they have a friend or family member involved in something that they can get hurt easily at, so in reaction to that, you mapped out the quickest way to the hospital IF you something went wrong.

The third instance......... I will have to go with coincidence on this one too, heh.

I have this happen to my twin and I all the time.. this is a recent example;

We were chatting on MSN.. and she was elsewhere on the net.. I happen to Mention that I had been on eBay and bid on an Item.. Not only sis she say SHE was Also on eBay, but she had just won an Item almost identical to the one I had Bid on!

the foresight.. was that I asked her about My Item and if she liked it.. Not only dd she like it, but she had gone and bought Very Similar!
We get this, a lot. and it happens more now, that it used to.

this used to happen to me all the time when I was younger, I remember one time when My Mother was really broke and there was not a lot in to eat. we had gone to her friends house and on the way back I had said suddenly to her"Mam your going to walk into some money" she raised her eye brows at me and when we crossed the road to get home she stood on a piece of paper,which she then picked it up only to find a twenty pound note under her foot.

there are many forms of premonition and i wouldn't be surprised if you had reached a changing point which will bring it out in you
i think carvall's idea of documenting what you feel and what happens is a great idea , it will give you a little more to look at and decide if it is chance or foresight
:)

some people reach the point where thier skills or gift becomes more intense .. so I have been told.

It could be Foresight but then again maybe checking the webpage was just something that you had been thinking about and you wanted to check and see if the webmaster had really payed attention to the request that you had made, and maybe working out the route to the hospital was just something you did because you were worried that something was going to happen and it was good because you were prepared when something did happen, and the chocolate thing, well maybe you just wanted some chocolate and grandparents tend to have some kind of treat laying around the house lmao, so maybe that was just a coincidence lol...

Yeah, foresight happens a lot. My mom has always referred to it as her "witch blood". One time when I was about 12, she had just gotten off the phone with her mother and dragged my sister and I outside to help hang laundry on the lines. We heard the phone ring outside, I looked at her and said, "It's Grandma. Grandpa's gone." I was right.

I was 3 when I dreamed about a house afire, described it perfectly, and was so sure it was real that I had my parents out driving around with me in the middle of the night looking for that house, because I was so upset about it. I knew that I lost someone important to me in that fire. To this day, I'm scared of getting too close to people who live in ramblers with split-rail fences... But I know it was real, and was going to happen.

that is alot of coincendents... are you maybe thinking on certain things more than others. some poeple I know feel it can be a curse, others a gift . how do you feel is it scary or just curious as to why or how?

Wow well this never happened to me but the third one could be a coincidence but the others can be foresight...

The idea that Carvall has is a very good one

I guess making a note of things would work, it could help you keep track of certain things that you see happening before they actually do happen...but then again I have never experienced this so I am still going to say that it is alot of coincidences.

that is a good Ideal to keep a journal maybe of things.

That many in such a short space of time is different. Although it could just be that after the first one or two you were "looking" for coincidences to arise. I agree with Carvall though, keep a diary of what happens and see if there are any patterns =)

yea if there are any similarities then you may be able to handle it better.

I have had many things happen like this.

There are times I will pick up my cell thinking that I heard it ring and it will start to right as I go to put it back down.

There are also times that I will be with someone and they will be thinking something and I will start talking about it. hehe I have a few people that it is starting to freak them out a bit.

There are so much more

This happens to most of us, to some degree. Its a Human Trait to have this ability. Usually what happen to most people out there is they scoff at these happenings, even to the point of shutting down. Because they are afraid. So they shut down the ability to build/gain psychic ability's. Write in a journal about all your happenings, Good & Bad. Pay attention and you will gain more and stronger too.

i have forsight and when ever i have it i write a journal i even saw 9/11 before it happened and =much more but i also see the past so somtimes it gets hard to desiphcer whats from the past and whats the future

i honestly think that all 3 were coincidences. but like the others said keep a record of them and also keep a record of ur dreams if they seem to be telling you things also. as soon as it happens right it down that way u dont forget anything about them.

yes if there are things that are simular then you could know the meaning of them

Foresite, otherwise known as precognative ability, is the seeing of the future. It is not as uncommon as you might think. As an example, One year I had a refund coming from my taxes. I had a dream about two weeks after filing. In the dream, my refund had come extremely early, and the amount was for a lot more than I was expecting. Upon awakening, I spoke with my Father about it, telling him the details.

When I got dressed, and headed for the door, my Father asked where I was going. "To pick up my check" was my response. He told me that there was no way the check would be here, and that the mail doesn't run this early. Arriving at the mailbox, I removed my refund check from it, took it inside, and opened it in front of my Father, showing him the amount before I had even seen it myself. He was astounded! I hit the amount dead on, and had, like the dream, received the check early.

This has happened to me so many times I have lost count at this point. So, it's nothing evil, or "supernatural" about it, just one of the many abilities that We have.

Have you tried a journal? When I was experienceing new things that I could not explain, I would write them down so I could refer to them at a later date in full detail.

I will have to agree with carvall and darkseleene. Writing about it will give you more insight to your situations.

I have these quite often myself. Like carvall said keep a journal and see how many prove to be true premonitions. I had one recently that saved my husband and my life, so I take them seriously.

I've had this happen to me before, however, usually I don't get too much detail when I see things...and they usually come in the form of dreams...

Before my great grandmother and uncle died, the night before each, I had a dream about someone dying (I couldn't remember who died when I woke up from my dreams, so I didn't know who was going to die, but I knew it was going to happen that day...the first time I thought it was coincidence, but I believed after the second time).

The other example is that I used to have dreams of my soulmate, never remembering his face when I woke up. A day or two after I started dating my husband, I had the dream again, and remembered the face after I woke up...it was him. I haven't had the dream since.

I believe that this kind of thing is real, and that it can be a very powerful.

I think everyone has a little bit of foresight. Like my mother-in-law always seems to know what I'm doing. It's weird. Like the other day she asked me on the net why I was sad, when there was no way she could have known. But yes, keep a journal of these things when they happen to you.

This I think would be called Clairvoyance, foresight is an adaptation of the Clairvoyance an individual has, it stems many capabilities in nature, from audio, visual, smells, thoughts, even lucid dreams. It is inherited as well as grown.

Three incidents do not make you someone that is having premonitions on a grand scale. It may be you had a feeling or like one poster said you prepared for the worst in in the second instance, because a loved one was involved in a dangerous activity. I think it is too soon to tell if you are having premonitions. Give it sometime and keep a written account of anything else that happens.

I would say the first and third may have been coincidence more than anything else. But the second one does sound like a premonition.

i think it is coincidence but if it keeps happening then maybe you are have premonitions

I think that people are much more aware and alert than they give themselves credit for. Maybe you're picking up on tiny little clues that would ordinarily be missed. I like the suggestion to keep a journal though, that sounds like a good plan.

Some people are hyper-sensitive. This can manifest in being able to understand people just based on energy or subtle action, being able to sense events just before the occurence (I have sensed death of two friends, been able to tell what radio station has a certain song before turning on the radio and being able to determine a person's need before they ask).

In my case, it got to a point where it started to deeply effect my insomnia. I had become so sensitive to surroundings that I started to disbelieve what I was able to do. It was not a talent but a curse. To this day, there are certain people I cannot be around for long periods of time and I have difficulty in hospitals (lol, who doesnt) and when I am in the subway... these are sensitive locales for me.

I never really talk about it because I spend too much time trying to logically explain away why I can do what I do. Plus, it is sporadic. I can't say I am thrilled with the ability.

You should consider a journal entry here to document it. You may be experiencing something that is going to be magnificent, Precognition.

I have had these all my life, whether about death, or other things, you get used to them, and they dont bother you as much. It can either be a curse, or it can be a blessing, depending on how you look at it. I used to look at it as a curse, but now I see it as a gift. They do tend to come in handy.

some gifts develope later in life for some people than for others.. you have a gift now work on developing it. use meditation and controled deep breathing. that worked for me with my gifts.

write down the frequency and senstations and meditate on it

I have never had this happen to me before but its common. It happens with my friend a lot and she is always asking about it.

Sounds like you have reached a level of open mindedness that will probably remain open from now on. I would suggest a journal as other's did in the above posts. I have kept a special journal just for this kind of phenomena, it helps to keep track of time in between each premonition. And also what kind of premonition, you may find a pattern. As an example.....premonitions about natural disasters or a life about to pass. Or even simple things about to occur right before they do. Whatever it may be it will be interesting for you to keep note for your minds sake at least.

this is very interesting and i like the others above me would suggest documenting these occurances, some may be pure chance but then again...........

I too have these premontions but i have never thought about writing them down, perhaps i will from now on.

i would like to have the gift.

foresight and premonition is a gift from the angel of light.
I beleive in 3 will so therfor we cand c things that will happen as our choices havnt been made yet

I have this happen to me all the time, i think of something and then it happens nothing big just small things, but i honestly think it is just a coincidence...

You might also be experiencing a side-effect of a very active mind.

As you are preparing to take part in an event, you are thinking about several posibiites that could occur, or that you would like to occur.

This can happen if you have a very active immagination, thinking through the "what ifs" and the "in would be cool if this occurs."

It could be "I hope the wife want's to go out to dinner tonight" and she says, "I'm not cooking, let's get out of here!"

i think it's a good sign that you are in tune with your life and it's good that you are so aware of your mind, how it works and your instincts. everyone has the potential to be psychic. in some ppl it just needs to be developed a bit more. for you it would probably be a bit easier to develop. it would definitely be a good idea to keep track and see if there are any patterns. also keeping track of dreams could be helpful too;)

It sounds to me that you have moved along your spiritual path to a new place and your third eye chakra is opening. This is your psychic center and is very powerful.

So don't be afraid of what is happening, listen to your hunches, thoughts and feelings follow them and the door will continue to open. Accept it as a part of you, its natural and can be very fulfilling.

I decided to keep a journal because I was trying to figure out how much time passed in between a premonition and it coming into play. Then I wanted to keep track of how many times a day or during a week it was occurring. I also tried to find other people going through the same things at the same time's that I was. I was fascinated to find that some family member's were also experiencing some of the same things. I have never really researched it or studied it so I don't know enough about it to give advice. But I do have a record of it for myself.

Bard, such a great idea for the journal entry. I never document these occurences. Instead, I end up with ideas for my screenplays, etc and use it for that. I will try both...

Dog? You're right, I have a mind that is in constant hyper-drive, but I haven't been able to use that to explain away a majority of things that have happened. Other times, yes, I use that as the cause.

A journal would help you figure out if ther are simularities

Thanks, you all raise very good points.

I think I will start keeping a journal about tings like this. The problem with that is, you never know what's worth keeping note of until it turns out to happen. I can't keep record of every single thought and feeling! I guess i'll just have to keep note of things afterwards...

As for coincidences, I see the point about the second one - Gav was wrestling and obviously there's more chance of him getting hurt than if he was just MC'ing, so maybe I can write that one off.

The third one, it's rare that his grandparents have chocolate in the house, but as I tend to think of chocolate a lot (because i'm trying to cut down on it!) that again, is probably jsut a silly coincidence.

But the first instance, with the website, that I think is the one that really got me thinking. It was the way the thought just popped into my head without thinking of anything related to it.

Psychic..

sounds like a little more then coincidence to me.....

I love anything to do with this subject. I'm completely jealous that you have this >.<

OK,
Maby, but don't you have a 50% chance of being right or wrong and can intuition have an effect. It seems to me that it's a roll of the dice. Ok lets say that you have a premonition your significant other is cheating? Is that a premonition or intuition? You can only be right or wrong, 50%, you can't be kind of right about anything. That is like being kind if pregnant.

it has happened a few times, but half of the time i don't understand its really weird. I kinda think what the hell! it really confuses me.

The same kind of thing has happend to me many times. I think the wierdest one was when I was working in a home for alzhiemer's patients and one of my residents was pretty much on her death bed. They told me she had a few more days to live, so she would not go on my shift... They were wrong.

I went to go and do laundry and 15 minutes later I threw down the clothes and ran to her room. Something in my gut told him I needed to check on her because she died.
Sure enough when I got to her room, she was gone. It may not seem like much, but if you could feel exactly what I felt, it would have hit anyone like a ton of bricks. Same thing happend with me and my great aunt. She passed away 4 years ago. I was at a friends house and I knew she died in her sleep. I called home and they confermed it. NOt very fun.

i belive this is something to think about

The more that you practice with your new gift the better it will be

Well this happen's to me all the time and learned that keeping a diary of all of it is helping.

so have you been practicing?

i do believe that this happens to a lot of people and some more than others each person sees it differently

I've been told on several times I am (I forget the name or word) for my mom to see how my dad is doing when we or she is apart from him...I sense it....he had a stroke recently, she's had it rough.

I believe what you have very well could be foresight.

I too have these things happen to me. I have also had premonitions and I am spiritually connected to my soul mate and we can feel one anothers emotions and physical feelings as well.

I must agree that it will help you to develop this gift if you will journal it and also to make yourself more aware of what you feel and see on a regular basis.

Do not fear this gift because I believe you will find that it can be a great blessing.

I have experienced this before with alot a things but I really never listened before,I do now,lessons learned,lessons lived

Journaling will also help you see if other areas are opening up. Will be able to allow you see a sort of physical, if you willl, copy of your thoughts.

Journaling will also allow you to, for yourself, make the decision on whether or not it's Premonition, or just the way you think on an everyday basis.

Enduring the curse, or 'gift' of foresight into possible futures, I find what you're talking of entirely feasible.. accept it.

I think that you used the key word in your last paragraph. I think the key is coincidence. I personally don’t think that we have the power of premonition. To me premonition would mean that our actions and the actions of others are predetermined. I don’t think that this is the case. I think that we determine our futures each instant that we live. There are a million things that could happen to change any of the things that we think might be premonition. The fact that these things happened is just coincidence. Every day there are probably a million things that we would think were premonition but they don’t happen because of our actions.

could just be a bad case of deja vu.

ok i dont know if this counts but my 2nd oldes before she was born i new the sex and what day and month doc did not tell us the sex and the date

Three in the span of 2 days is a bit of foresight. I experience it a lot. Like 5 times in one day.

I experienced more as a child.

I do have 'gut' feelings in class.

I when I'll be called to answer a question minutes before I am to go.

Sounds common

i feel its mainly what you believe in, and if in confusion just journal it as said above and take it from there put 2 and 2 together

Well there hasn't been any more incidents so far, so maybe they were just flukes. But something one of you said got me thinking...about could it be intuition. When it comes right down to it, aren't they the same thing? Maybe I intuitively felt I should check that website...

Perhpas there's more to 'womens intuition' than I first thought...

I have only really ever had anything like it when something very bad has happened. In general I get a bad feeling just before it happens, and then when it has happened, I know what it is. It only really works for people I am very close to though.

i get bad cases of daja vu

once i was driveing thru alabama when i heard a voice telling me to slow down and let the car that was beside me by..as i let off the gas and the car got ahead of me the right front tire blown and he shoot in the lane i was in..if i didnt slow down he would have hit me.

i have bad feelings when a friend or a family member gets sick and i seem to know if or when the pass on.

these things happen to me often. I simply try to use them to my advantage when possible and not make that big a deal of them anymore. trust me you can get a lot of unwanted attention from people who dont understand how forsight really works

Stuff like that happens to me every day. Maybe your just opening up to it more now. Has anything dramatic happened, good or bad that may have set of that part of your mind?

hey even little things that can happen in life are sometimes announced by a vision .

everyone back home thinks i am so great when breaken horses , the way my body locks in place with every move.

yet truth be known , its like i see the buck or a twist , right in a hair of a second before it happens allowing my body to react . way i see that those are premonitions . granted small but real.

i was out trappen once , my buddy tim went check a trap and went he went to reach in and grab it beings there was no sound or visual of whether we had a coon in it and done this many times thought no biggy, he reached in to grab and i got a flash of blood to my mind yanked him back , ended up finding out we had a badger . would have tore him up pretty bad.

so way i see it size of a vision doesnt matter , it still is what it is.

good post

well i know many times i have had dreams that have come close yet with choices i made they just by a hair were different..i had one that really stands out,,i lived with grandmother in oregon and we both woke about same time with a dream that i committed suicide in a store by hanging myself with a rope from sports department.. well as we were talking about it .. in california my mom dad and sister had same dream... play by play it was all the same details.. so needless to say i refuse to go in that store till after grandmother passed away...

It happens tyo me alot. Mostly in dreams or when im in a very relaxed state.

Its the main reason a friend of mine told me to check out VR.

When the event i saw starts to happen it reminds me of de ja vu, i've seen things from a day or two away right up to a couple of weeks.

mostly mine is subtle things, but i have seen some larger things in my life.

to me its a gift, dunno how others feel about it.

I don't believe you get "a bad case of de ja vu", that sound like some desease.

Some Native American tribes believe that Deja Vu is given to us to show that our lives are on the right path. There are many reasons for having this experence, the key is to either choose to believe or not to.

I find it fascinating that so many believe in foresight and premonition, yet are opposed to the idea of fate.

I have never had premonitions the way that you describe but I have had many in my life, most of my premonitions come to me in disjointed, obscure dreams.

it is most certainly a gift... i know where you are coming from... all you have to do is use it

I believe that it's something not everyone has, but just because a person doesn't have this ability doesn't mean they can't work at developing it.

Those who acquire this ability are definately gifted in a way and also cursed. Depends solely on the event though.

i get dreams that come true and i can tell if something very good or very bad is coming my way about three days in advance.

Kit,

that opens up a whole new arguement, and its a very good question. there are quite a lot of theories surrounding time, and the future.

After reading this thread i finally got round to starting a journal of de ja vu as i have called it. Will update at somepoint on what i find.

i believe many more people have this ability and they claim it de ja vu or gut feelings whatever it is foresight i have had this all my life i started drinking heavly when i was younger to help stop it then someone told me it was a gift accept it after a few years and many why didnt i listen to it i have accepted it good and the bad

Well its definately foresight. I've experienced this too alot. The last time it happened was a couple days ago. I had an urge not to go get the mail but I did anyways and there was no mail. And one time I was thinking of ice cream and an hour or so later my mom came to me and asked if I wanted to get some ice cream. I know to an everyday person it would seem to be a coincidence but I'm sure it was a form of foresight.

I think there's varying degrees of this, ranging from 'inklings' to a full blown premonition. I had another episode just today. I was told at work that i'd get a bonus on the 31st December if I made a certain target, which I have twice over. But suddenly today I thought 'what if the boinus doesn't come through?'. Lo and behold, an hour later, we were informed that the bonus will now be paid in january instead.

It's insignificant for the most part, but I think if someone gets a lot of these episodes it's gotta mean something...

this has happened to me a few times , the last time i was driving home and we were really strapped for money and i just knew there was something in the mail box. When got home there was my bonus check that i wasnt expecting to get, and it was enough to take care of things that needed to be taken care of.

It happens a lot to me, sometimes coincidence, other times not. Keeping a journal or diary of some sort will help. They can be visions, dreams, feelings. but no matter what they turn out to be embrace them.

i get more deja vu then any form of forsight/premonitions.....

not sure in your case wether I would say you have a gift for it or not, if you never had it before anyway. I have alot of indian blood in me and my grandmother told me I had the gift when I was a child & I never knew what she meant until I got a few years older, then it has only gotten stronger since then. I get feeling about things all the time & I have learned to never go against the feelings because they r always right. But I saw someone say something about keeping a journal to keep track of these events. If it keeps happening to you it might be a good idea and if you do have the gift you might want to try honing it a little, by just clearing your mind and letting things come to you rather then trying to force it like other people do. I do hope this helps.

MASTERofMIDNIGHT

I have things like that happen to me all the time I used to not listen to it at and tune it out like I was day dreaming or something, but then I started to regret doing that when the consiquence was worse. Like one time I dated this guy then I started to see in my head he was a bad person I disregarded that so when I told him it was over he beat the shit out of me b/c he was a lot stronger than I was. So now I just pretty much live with it. Just don't take it for granted like I did. It can really come in handy.
