Premonitions

Does this happen to anyone else. I hate it.
This may sound absurd but from the age of 12 (when l told my dad l wouldn't see my gran again- she died 2 days later) l get this feeling of impending doom/anxiety that something is about to happen. I can give many examples of this and my family would describe me as fey.
However l woke up this morning and the feeling was there again- l had no idea what it could be and an hour ago my DD phoned with some not so good news about my DDG. Nothing very bad but just disappointing. The doom has now lifted and l now just feel sad for her.
I am normally a very rational person - why does this happen.? It is so emotionally draining. I can't forsee the future or lottery numbers or read tarot cards- l am just a regular 55 year old.
Just looking for some solidarity/support.

I've always been like that - so much so that when I was a child, I worried that I could make bad things happen by thinking about them.

I'm the same, it's just heightened senses I think. I find it helpful when someone gets bad news e.g a health diagnosis and I'm able to tell if they'll be okay..obviously crap when I know they won't be but trying to look for the blessing in it!

When I was a child, my DM told me once that her mum often thought of someone and then heard from them or about them or that they had died.
For as long as I can remember, this same thing has happened consistently throughout my life.
So much so, my DH has said I should buy lottery tickets, but it doesn't work that way unfortunately!
I know that this happens with a lot of people, so it's not that unusual.
However , the older I get, the more regularly it seems to happen, and when I do think of someone randomly now, I wait to hear from, or about, them.

Intuition, perception, and confirmation bias.

I think a red hot chilli pepper is going to die soon.
