Have you ever predicted something and it came true?

[naechunce]

Not really AIBU - sorry!

I just wondered if you've ever predicted something and it actually happened?

I met my now husband through work when I was almost married to someone else and I just knew I would end up marrying him! I can't even say I fancied him that much to begin with I just had this overwhelming feeling that I would end up with him. And about 3 years later I did!

I think prediction is just belief.

I believed I would go to Tesco today, and I did!

Fair enough!

Right at the beginning of 2000, just as the chimes from Big Ben died away, I had a sudden thought - ‘Dad will not survive this year’ - and he passed away very unexpectedly and suddenly in November that year.

Aw @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius I'm sorry x

It's really strange but I see things as happening to other people or to myself then it happens to other people. For example, I think I'm going to have a car crash and then my friend has one

Yes. Had more than one prediction in dreams/nightmares. So it’s subconscious clearly with me

I was woke up n the middle of the night I a total sweat after having a really werid dream that my cousin had gone to hospital an hour after I woke up in the morning my mum called to say my cousin was in hopsital after collapsing at home !

Yes I have those too

I'll have dreams about a particular person/ family member and I'll wake up feeling really anxious and jittery and I guarantee I'll get some news about that person not always bad sometimes it's good news like a pregnancy or engagement
My mum is the same too... not really a prediction maybe just a gut feeling

I predicted that some stairs my sister was building (not to building regs standards) were not safe and then my niece fell down them and broke both her arms. I think it was just sensible risk assessment though.

I've been trying for years to tell people that the economy is bloody broken. Now will you believe me??

Yes all the time. It’s creepy.
I will turn to my husband and say “so and so is going to announce their engagement today”
“So and so is going to tell us she’s pregnant this week. It’s a boy by the way”
I have never been wrong predicting a baby’s birth.

I also do weird stuff where I have odd dreams, like I had a dream about my pregnant friend. Nothing bad happened in my dream - but I felt compelled to ring her and I had to tell her to call her midwife. I was almost hysterical; she went into labour later that day, it snowed and the midwife would have been snowed in, if she hadn’t already been with my friend!
I’ve had weird tingling feelings all down my left leg and back. My dad got diagnosed with CES the same day.
Just odd feelings “person isn’t going to make it to the end of the week” and they don’t, or “someone is going to tell us they’ve passed their driving test this week” and they do.
I dunno, it’s weird.

Hmm I think this is possible but you marrying your DH isn't something outside your control like a relative taking ill or having a baby.

It's more likely that you married him partly because had a feeling you would marry him, rather than you had that feeling because you predicted the future.

OP saying I believed I would go to Tesco today, and I did! is a bit facetious but the point is there.

I think prediction is just belief.

Not sure what you mean by this.

when i first met my DP, at a garden party at his home, i asked to go to the bathroom and just instantly felt comfortable there. I had never felt like that anywhere that wasn't an immediate family members home. As I felt like that, I just had a feeling that we would at least know each other a very long time.
10 years later and 1 DD, 2, and I can safely say, it was a true prediction!

I said to my dh a few years ago ‘it wouldn’t surprise me if dsis is pregnant you know’ he said what makes you think that.
Shortly after that, she announces she’s pregnant, which was a surprise to most as she’d only been with the bloke for 4 months.

I have correctly predicted the gender of the babies for pregnant friends and relatives. I have never been wrong.

I also had a dream about a relative’s daughter who I hadn’t seen or spoken to for years. I dreamt that she gave birth to twin boys.
Five months later, I heard that she gave birth to twin boys.

Michael Jackson dying! Someone at work had managed to book tickets for his London O2 show and I joked saying that he would probably die before that actually happened.

My df had a massive accident where he became bed bound. In 2017 I could tell my df was possibly giving up. I said to my dh that he won’t see the year through. He passed in the July peacefully in his sleep. I somehow had a bad feeling.

I always knew from the age of 15 ,that I wouldn't be able to have children easily,despite all the women in my family being incredibly fertile.
I met my husband to be that year ,and after numerous rounds of ivf and 18 years later I finally had my first child.
We had to do icsi as my husband shot blanks.
I just always knew!

Yep. All the time. My fiancé finds it amusing (most of the time!). Recent examples include:

-saying who got a job vacancy where my fiancé works. I used to work there so l do know some of the people. For clarity l didn’t know who was being interviewed though but l guessed who got it
-that all of our IVF embryos were genetically abnormal.
-it would be the last time l ever saw my grandma, the last time l saw her not long before she died. She wasn’t ill but l just knew

Not predicted but I have imagined things/thoughts in my head that may possibly happen and then did. Maybe they were predictions? I don't know.
To be fair, I have a vivid imagination and 'what if' thoughts all the time so odds are something is going to come true sometime. There are a few things that have really have happened, most are pretty vivid and catastrophic but one was nice - sorry I can't say what it was because it would blow my cover.
And I always know when one of my DD's or DH is going to call or message me because I think of them seconds before the phone rings.

Yes. All the time. But I don't have psychic powers. I just look at current events and draw conclusions about what will happen next.

Some of my greatest hits include predicting that someone would pass an exam because she had revised lots (she did), predicting that someone else was going to need a friend to coach her through her project the night before the submission deadline because she was doing sweet fanny adams about it right then (she did) and predicting that there would be a rush on toilet tissue because no-one wants to be stuck in a house for a week without anything to wipe their arse on (and there was).

Yes but it was a bit of emotional intelligence and logic / nothing psychic!

We were sat having a meal out with two couples when someone started discussing Princess Diana and something she'd supposedly done. DH commented she'll be dead by this time next week in a car crash. This was three days before she died. It was such an unusual thing for him to say because he has no interest in anything Royal or woo. Both couples still comment on it most times we see them. He has never come out with anything even vaguely similar since.
