Premonitions… feel like I’m going mad

I should say that I am not into anything ‘mystic’ and don’t go to card readings etc. I’m also not particularly religious (I like to believe but can’t quite get to the point of a full faith). So I guess you’d say I’m a pretty average person with no interests in this sort of sphere at all.

But for a while now I’ve felt I can tell when something is going to change or alter. It is usually if I think something is going to be cancelled (for a dark reason) and it’s happened again today. I had an appointment first thing at the dentist, I’ve been seeing this person a long time and I usually floss the night before the appointment. As I was doing it I thought dentist won’t be in tomorrow, I just know it. And hey presto, first thing this morning I get a message saying they are dealing with a family emergency.

There’s been various things like this and it’s started around two or three years ago. Another was when I had the most vivid dream about a woman I had not so much thought of in years, to find around 4 days later she had in fact died.

I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. It really unsettles me. I have read around the topic and know rationally that often you can tell if something can change and just by small and subconscious things that your brain picks up on it… but of course that doesn’t explain the dentist scenario or the lady I dreamt about as I had no contact or anything at all to ‘go off’ when I had these feelings and thoughts. There’s been lots more like this too.

It’s so weird when people who claim to be scientific are the ones dismissing this as “coincidence” there are literally studies proving people can “see” the future. Julia Mossbridge did a meta-analysis of them in 2014 but there are probably more since then.

It’s just coincidence and but a part of you wants to believe you are psychic.

I’ve had those feeling before and think “what a strange coincidence” and then forget about it. Think of all the times you’ve NOT thought something is going to happen and it has happened? Probably thousands of times a day right?

All the people who’ve died or cancelled appointments and you haven’t had a dream about them? It’s obvious that sometimes in life we are going to have strange coincidences happen as we have millions of different thought processes/dreams throughout our life - sometimes some of them will “come true”.
