Many people get premonitions, from the ordinary to the life changing. A week before the World Trade Towers were hit, I dreamed I was in one of the towers rushing about looking for an escape. There was a hole in the side and a dizzying drop below. People were rushing about trying to find a way down in the vast building. The dream was vivid, a quality I’ve come to associate with prophetic dreams.
Some premonitions are more ordinary and less emotion-infused. Yesterday morning I was making coffee when a client popped into my mind, someone I haven’t spoken to in years. This thought tells me she is thinking about me and will probably contact me, and sure enough, I get an email today. It tells me that we are receiving thoughts from people long before they actually contact us. I have to wonder if I’m sending something to them too, like healing or a warm embrace.
Everyone including you, is hardwired with the ability to sense the future. So even if you aren’t aware it, you have probably have had intuitive signals coming to you that get mixed in with your other thoughts. The more you become aware of the possibility of having premonitions, the more you will notice them happening to you.
Premonitions are part of our evolutionary advantage. Cornell professor emeritus Daryl Bem, one of the most respected social scientists of his generation, has been studying psychic ability in ordinary people for 20 years. His studies show that the average person does in fact sense the future before it happens. He noticed that men are especially adept at sensing future sexual opportunities and women at sensing future danger. He calls this capacity an evolutionary advantage that has enabled our species to survive. In other words, we might not have made it as a species these 200,000 years without men’s exceptional ability to sense reproductive advantage or women’s ability to sense danger to themselves and their young.
The Difference between true premonitions and anxiety. As security specialist Gavin DeBekker pointed out in his book, the Gift of Fear, when you are really in danger, there is a powerful knowing that fills you and directs you. Signs of resonance will arise in your nervous system, like goosebumps, hairs standing on end, or chills. You will become hyper alert, and you may feel that someone is guiding you through the danger.
The rest of the time, what you are feeling might be unnecessary worry, neurotic fears, or just plain anxiety. Anxiety is energy in your body that has nowhere to go. You’re like a horse in the starting gate. It is not necessarily psychic. More likely it’s an over reaction to something that originated in a trauma years before.
How can you increase your chance of having premonitions? Intuition happens when we are not distracted. If you want to receive those signals more, then work on quieting your mind. You do this by unplugging from the day to day stress. Go into meditation where you are focusing more on your senses. Take a walk or go for a jog or a swim. Try closing your eyes and taking a nice breath right now. Listen to the sounds around you. Feel whatever your hands are touching; feel your feet on the ground; and notice your breath going in and out. You are now listening, via your body’s senses, to the energies of consciousness around you. You now have a heightened awareness of the energies around you.
Your senses are like antenna to the world. The more you practice these moments of presence, the more intuitive you will become. I get the strongest visions when I’ve been on a meditation retreat for several days, or when I sit in meditation before bed. I use meditation to get visions of the future. But this is not the same as premonitions. Reading the future is a conscious process where you focus on a target, i.e., your country at a certain point in time.
Premonitions happen to you. You don’t just create them by meditating on the future. When I get premonitions, I try to react to them with wisdom and perspective. For that I need to be present and calm. Otherwise, I when I feel energies on the horizon, I may react to them fearfully which is not productive. In other words, if I don’t unplug and breathe, then the intuitions I get, will fly through my mind which will then take off like a runaway train.
Symbols that come in visions. Ever since I first started meditating for visions 35 years ago, I noticed that many came in symbols and metaphors. Over time I began to understand the symbols. For example, I see a cactus as a symbol for drought. Last year I was returning to Massachusetts from Europe when I noticed upon waking that I was seeing the cactus. I thought, Mass in having drought. It turned out to be true. I also see fire, rain, stock market graphs going up and down, tears (for public grieving), hearts, and square root signs for market corrections. I also have a set of symbols for reading an individual’s personal future. Carl Jung wrote about the symbols we get in Man and His Symbols. He suggested that we have universal symbols that we all get, cultural symbols particular to our culture, and personal symbols.
If you begin meditating for visions of the future, you are likely to also get a set of symbols. Notice what thoughts you get when the symbols appear, and write it down. You will learn an alphabet of consciousness.
Some people don’t see visions when they meditate on the future. Instead they hear words, or get a thought. Whatever comes into your mind, write it down!
Dreams: I know when I’m having a prophetic dream because it is particularly vivid and doesn’t seem to apply to my life. For example, in April I had a horrible dream of a woman being killed in a terrorist attack. Just the one woman, no one else. I saw her vividly on the ground, with others trying to come to her aid. It was jarring, the vision was ghastly, but I didn’t feel fear for myself. I posted it on my website and a few weeks later a British member of Parliament was viciously murdered in the street. My hope is that I unconsciously sent healing to her in her terrible moment. Perhaps others also felt the event before it happened and also sent soothing thoughts to her. But the reason for my seeing her tragedy is a mystery. We are all connected, so her pain is everyone’s pain.
When we are dreaming, our intuition is not drowned out by everyday noise of people’s thoughts. When we are awake, there is a non stop ticker tape of thinking flowing through our heads, most of it is just junk we expose ourselves to in books, the Internet, and the media.
Most of the dreams we have are about our own lives. When it’s a prophetic dream about the world, it may feel different. You may feel like an observer. But this distinction is tricky since you are part of the world, and even when a dream is just about you, you can experience yourself as an observer. The best way to tell the difference is to keep a dream diary and start checking it over time for accuracy.

Can you please help me? I’m going crazy for days already and I don’t know if this is a premonition or anxiety that my Father is going to die soon and I’m really scared.My father is a very healthy person and I don’t know why I keep having these visions of him.I’m really scared, please help me, I haven’t got enough sleep for days already and I keep praying and telling myself that this is just my anxiety.Please reply, I really need your help!
It sounds like it is your anxiety. Real premonitions don’t usually come with huge amounts of anxiety. You have described yourself as going crazy for days. That is anxiety, not clarity. Anxiety comes with huge amounts of anxiety. Although there are no absolute rules, and everyone is different, real premonitions are usually calm, like you are observing something through a glass window while being in a state of clarity.
Hi, this is really weird but, there is a war happening, and fire burning on the other side. I’ve dreamed of it before. Fire, followed by war, and deaths, and water that will sweep out so many lives. It doesn’t make any sense to me before but when I noticed everything is happening now, it gives me a strange feeling. I am scared to tell this to people caused i know it really sounds crazy. I’ve dreamt of wars, war on earth and in heaven. I dunno, why is this happening. And i can’t avoid now the feeling that the world is suffering but me i am dealing on my own. It feels like the world also needs me, but i don’t understand why. Hope you can explain it to me.
Thanks for posting. We are in a violent conflict in the Middle East. It’s all over the news although they aren’t calling it a war, just a lot of missiles flying and an airliner just exploded and everyone died. If you are having these visions just now and you didn’t know about the conflict there and the missiles flying and that Trump order the assignation by Drone of a major Iranian leaderthis week and then Putin or someone blew up the commercial airplane in Tehran then I would call your vision not a premonition but a vision of what is happening.
Hello. I often have what I call “premonitions” but are better just described as random thoughts (sometimes dreams, so precognition) that end up manifesting themselves as real things later on – with some differences (different people or places most often). Usually the event happens the same day or within days. For example, this morning I was thinking about my daughter who is in the 8th grade. I had this random thought about there being a shooting in her school. It’s not something I worry about as a parent really, but it was just a fleeting thought like many are. A few short hours later I read in the news there was a shooting in a Santa Clarita high school. It made me feel almost guilty like I subconsciously either knew it was going to happen or intuited it when it was occurring (time change and all). These kinds of things happen to me in waves, but are hard to keep track of because stream of consciousness thoughts are not something I make the effort to “tag” as something to look back on later for a connection. I do try to write them down when they happen just to keep a journal of them. What I would like to know is if there are methods I can use to be better at knowing a premonition when I have one.
Also, I feel like sometimes I can hear people thinking. I can’t hear their thoughts, but I “hear” something that gets my attention. So I ask, “What did you say?” and they always say, “I wasn’t, but I was just about to say something to you.” Or, “I wasn’t, but I was just thinking really hard about xyz.” Not sure what that is, but maybe I’m just picking up waves.
I continue to have short vivid dreams of places I have never been before – some make me feel uneasy, and others in no particular way. I couldn’t explain any of these places off the top of my head until I have a repeating “vision” or “premonition” of the same place as my dream and in that moment I recognize the familiarity. I am struggling with this and not understanding what anything means.
Hello advise please…
I had what i thought of as a preminition last night, it cam out of no where, i was sleeping ,not dreaming of anything, then i saw my dad and a few family members appear at my front door early hours of the morning and my dad said to me ” that my mum had died , that it happened suddenly”, i was so heart broken as i am very close to my mum. It felt so real, i felt my heart aching, tearing apart rapidly!
My children were in bed fast asleep and my husband was holding me tight as i was so devistated! I could feel my heart beating faster ans then i felt myself panting, i turned to my husband and luckly woke up! I woke up crying, it was so so real, i had to ring my mum at 11pm at night to see if she was alright, and she was, but i just cant get the thought out of my mind. Was this a preminition, i have never experienced anything like it in my life, i just dont understand what had happened?
Any help please on this topic?
Many thanks
I had a similar dream many years ago about my mother and I did the same thing — called her and told her my dream. She was fine. I feel I was tapping into anxiety I shared with my mother.
So this is not a preminition ans nothing to worry about?
I cannot tell you it was or wasn’t a premonition unless I am giving you a private one-on-one reading. I do that when you set up a reading with me. If you want a reading, then go to the Contact form in the menu of this site or the About form and send me a message asking for a reading. You can also check the submenu to see the fee.
I just had the worst nightmare/premonition of my life………………i am in a mall/large building/complex and everything is white……..the floors are white, the walls are white but not clean white but like an old mall or dr.office…………my grown kiddo and i along with a third person are taking the stairs to the lower/underground level…..my grown kid is in front walking about 5-10 seconds ahead of us…… i and the other person(don’t see them just feel like i am talking to someone…nothing special just chatting about normal boring things…………and when we get to the lower level my grown kid is not there……..they are just gone………i start panicing and run around calling their name getting more and more terrified by the second……….i go from, what seems to be apartments? rooms that people are living in, no doors, and they all claim to have not seen my grown kid…………i burst into tears and either i or one of them calls the cops………then i start to pass out??? and wake up i don’t know how long after in a bed covered in torn and ratty blankets/clothing a person is standing next to me…………..i beg……….where is my grown kid……i call their name over and over………my kiddo never appears………i crawl out of the bed/pile of clothing….and lurch up and down small subsets of stairs/rooms screaming for my kiddo……..only then do i notice my shoes and phone are gone………the people in that place act like out of it homeless people they start/no one offers help or claims to know where my kiddo is……….i find a cop who says he has been looking for me and my grown kiddo, i tell him what has happened…….the last thing i tell him is and my phone and shoes are gone as well……..i wake up screaming and shaking so hard i am afraid i am having a stroke……………….PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISN”T GOING TO HAPPEN MY GROWN KIDDO IS THE ONLY ONE OF MY FAMILY LEFT ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a nightmare about six months before(the night before easter and my mother was murdered a day or two before thanksgiving) my mothers murder………i was just a child and thought it was just a nightmare though i had a much harder time being away from her after that nightmare…………….my nightmare came true and more…………………………….PLEASE TELL ME MY GROWN KIDDO ISN”T GOING TO BE KIDNAPPED/TAKEN…………………………..PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This does not read like a premonition but rather nightmare. It’s fear, pure fear. I can’t say a whole lot because I don’t know you and am not doing a reading on you although you are welcome make an appointment.But it just sounds like a fear dream. It also feels like a person who has PTSD of some kind. Premonitions are meant to be constructive not terrifying. Terror comes from another place, like the amygdala of your brain which fires when there is no danger because the person has had trauma.
I would agree except i never dream………….as in this is the first dream/nightmare i have had in decades……..yes i have ptsd as i did when i was a child and dreamed of my mother murder…..which came true months later…………thanks? i hope you are right…………i am terrified that you are not…………and in a world where horrible things happen every minute of the day i believe my fear is completely justified……….truly i was hoping your reply would be more along the line of “it means they are moving on in their life/life change”……..anything but what i fear it means………..the fact that my grown kiddo has two stalkers makes my fear that much more real to me…..they have made years of our lives a living nightmare………..
I’m not sure I totally agree with the anxiety part. Many of my past premonitions started out as a sudden anxiety from no where. I would just know something was wrong although I couldn’t pin point the exact problem. Sometimes it would lead me somewhere and I wouldn’t know what was wrong until I got there, even miles away. I also had the dream a week before the World Trade Towers were hit. I told people about the dream. A week later I got calls of horror as my dream played out on the news.
Anyway. I guess each person has their own type of premonitions.
I am going through a divorce right now. I laid down two nights ago and wasn’t asleep yet but I’m a different level of consciousness. I could see my future ex in a white coffin, wearing a peach colored shirt he would never wear dead. In the vision I kissed him on the forehead and was very sad crying over him. I sat up. I reached out to some prophetic people I know and they told me to pray that he does not die.
The symbolism of death is letting go. The coffin dream was probably about letting go of him in the marriage, not a prediction of his death.
I have had experiences where I know something is going to happen but I don’t know where/when/how. I knew I was going to get in a car accident when I was pregnant. I was so sure of this I even prepared and thought ahead to remove my glasses so they don’t get broken. And when our tire blew up that’s the first thing I did was remove my glasses. I have had this dream for years now, almost every two or three weeks. I dream I am in the car and it falls off a cliff/mountain. Sometimes I fall into a body of water at the bottom of the cliff. I am scared that this is a premonition. But how can I be sure?
This dream could easily be a metaphor for being ungrounded, especially for always being on the go and not stopping and listening to your actual life.
I had a singular experience . Had a few dates with a guy. He was the perfect gentleman and I seen no warning signs or red flags.
During a conversation with him. I kinda zoned out a little and seen him assault me. Like an out of body experience
I ended the date pretty quickly.
Subsequently found out he had a history of violence.
I think this was a premonition
Glad for it but weirdest thing ever
I need your help again Ms.Msywell.
I have been having dreams about a famous musician who has passed away 2yrs ago. I thought it would be over after relaying the message/dream to his MIL. But I still have the dream. I don’t know if it is longer or I’m remembering more of it.
So far the dream has lead me to an old roommate. A guitar that was stolen from her that he used to play. A scene in my dream is a pix he posted 3-4 yrs ago. I’m blocked from his social media pgs so I didn’t know it existed. Someone posted it a month ago. But the first thing that he said was FIND ME. I found out 2-3 months after he left. He converted to a very Orthodox religion that is against cremation. He was cremated. I figured that to mean he is lost.
What more is expected of me to help him? If there is any expectation?
Only you can answer that question.
I have a frontal lobe traumatic brain injury and I’ve had these before, more often than not. I also suffer from anxiety so, it is hard to tell the difference. I will start paying attention to my dreams from now on.
Crystal, Thank you for posting. Your higher self/psyche will find a way to raise your awareness one way or another, and dreams just might be the way for you. Best wishes to you.
My beloved dog Toby was about 11 years old and would have to go around our pool to our side yard to use the bathroom. He became slightly blind and deaf in his old age, so sometimes I would call for him to come in and he would not hear me so I would have to walk around the pool to get his attention. On several occasions I would peer down into the pool and have a vision of him at the bottom of the pool. I would just shake my head and try to ward off the shivers that would run down my spine. I thought I was just morbid and hated that I could even “imagine” this happening because it was just an awful awful thought. I would also persuade myself that this was ridiculous because I always assumed if anything drowned, they would float, not sink. Thats not the case…Toby drowned in our pool in October of 2015 EXACTLY the way I had envisioned it. I thought I was going crazy. I had to see a therapist after his death and she told me premonitions were real and I should listen to my instincts more often.
Thank you for the advice on meditating. I suck at clearing my mind but I’d like to think I could use this sensitivity now and trust it.
Melissa, I am so so sorry you went through this tragedy. I know the love of dog. I feel your love for your dear Toby. I pray you find comfort from what has to be such a nightmare. If our society were more open to psychic phenomena, you might have known to take action to make sure those visions didn’t come true. Although it is slowly changing, western society teaches us to ignore such visions. That said, and this is an important point, we still can’t prevent many things from happening that we see in visions. And it is possible that you would not have been able to prevent Toby’s death.
I believe our psyches are constantly warning us about bad things in the future (and good as well) but in our western society’s blindness to inner seeing, we tend only to see those visions that jump out at us. Often the reason some visions are so vivid that they get our attention is because they are going to happen no matter what. We are seeing a great trauma in the future, a trauma that is splashing back at us from the future and is so enormous that we see it clear as day. Those kinds of events cannot be prevented. Many people saw 911, as did I in a dream, and still nothing stopped it. The events happened already in another dimension and in our consciousness even though they haven’t happened in reality. I wonder if your vision of Toby was already set. Meanwhile, I pray you will find solace over time.
I HAD A VISION WHILE SLEEPING 3 NIGHTS AGO OF A WOMEN YOUTUBER AT MY OLD JOB I HAD IN ORLANDO FLORIDA WHEN I WAS CUT OFF OF SSI AT KWIKSTOP SHE WAS IN THE CORNER BEHIND THE COUNTER BY THE REGISTER TALKING ON THE STORE PHONE WHEN ALL THE CUSTOMERS LEFT SHE GAVE ME A HANDSHAKE THEN THE VISION ENDED & THE WOMEN YOUTUBER DOES NOT LIVE IN FLORIDA I STILL CAN’T FIND THE MEANING OF THIS VISION I AM BACK IN CLEVELAND OHIO NOW WHERE I AM FROM NOTE I AM A BIBLERAPPER SHE IS A STREET PREACHER & WE BOTH GOT YOUTUBE CHANNELS PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE MEANING OF THIS VISION
A few years ago I witnessed my coworkers murder through a dream. I’m sensitive but this was way beyond my abilities. I’m still haunted by the event and struggling with question why me? No one understands or they don’t believe me. I really need to see the crime scene to validate what I saw in my dream. How do I close this chapter?
I’m sorry you went through that experience. People do see bad things before they happen. This ability may be stronger in women than men according to Daryl Bem a scientist in psychic phenomena at Cornell. I have noticed from my work that some women, not just you, report a tendency to see deaths before they happen. No one knows why some people are gifted in this way or whether it has a purpose. I have to believe that there is a purpose to this gift. It’s likely an ability that can save lives, if you learn to hone it and use it rather than shrink from it. The fact that some people don’t believe you is just the nature of western society, although people are becoming more aware of this gift. In eastern societies, psychic ability is more accepted.
Just throwing this out there, but maybe women are better at foreseeing death because we are fundamentally the ones that bring life? Maybe we have more connectedness to the cycle of life just by our nature. I had a dream once that my aunt, who I hadn’t seen in at least 15 years, had passed. A few days later my mom called to tell me she had passed away. Now, when I do have dreams about people dying I reach out to them to make sure they are ok.
You are on to something on this hypothesis. A top social scientists, Daryl Bem, from Cornell University, found that women were better at predicting violent events and men better at predicting sexual opportunity. He experimented with university students, so perhaps it’s better to attribute the finding to young women and young men. But he postulated that this is a Darwinian advantage the advances the survival of the species. Women protect the young and the unborn so they have to stay vigilant about threats to life. Men were the ones who did the impregnating. Men can create fetuses year round. Women can only do this once every 9 months.
Sometimes I get a bad feeling about something, but can never pin point about was is bad. And usually something bad does happen shortly after I get the feeling. Earlier this year I started having dreams of my grandmother dying. A couple months after they started, she had passed away from cancer. About 4 months ago, I had a dream that I was in my car with my dad whom was drunk and he was driving. He got really mad, stopped the car and jumped off a high bridge. Now, about a month ago I had a really vivid dream that my father got into his car, drove as fast as he could and purposely crashed it to commit suicide. My grandfather called me just a few days ago to tell me that my dad left everything he owned at his house and took off in his car and hasn’t been seen for the last few days. I can’t get this bad feeling to go…I really don’t want to believe that he did go and commit suicide. I just don’t what this means.
I’m 32 years old and since I was a child I would have the craziest dreams that I couldn’t explain. One of the first ones I can remember was a good friend of mines passed away. Days before she died I had a dream I was at school and everyone around me was crying but I had no clue why they were crying . I could see all their faces very clearly but before I could get an answer to why they were crying I was awaken. Few days later i get to school standing in the same place I was in my dream and just like in my dream every one was around me the same ppl whom faces I had seen crying in my dream telling me that one of my friends had died over night. A year before I met my gf I had a dream of these ppl dressed in black as if there were dressed for a funeral. I could see these ppl faces but didn’t know who they were until I met my gf I told her bout my dream I’m like I seen your family in my dreams dressed for a funeral is anyone sick like I wanted help this time I’m telling her I seen these ppl before I met you ( never tell anyone you just met this ) ok well a month or so after dating her grandmother passed those ppl in my dream were going to her funeral. 4 years after and my gf and I were together her father passed of cancer a few nights after he passed he called me on my phone in my dream sounding like his normal self and good health again telling me he’s ok and to tell her hi and he love her but this time I’m sure I was awake it didn’t feel anything like a dream it was too real. I’m sure that was his way of saying he was ok he isn’t the only person to passed that has contacted me. Why am I having these dreams? Why is this happening to me ? And to come true I can’t explain what’s wrong with me and it’s scary at times and I scare family and friends when I try to explain my experiences. I feel like all the time I’m having deja vu and whenever I do something bad is to come after every time never fells. I feel like why am I having these visions, dreams, or premonitions if I can’t use them to help someone.
I have had premonitions for years now. Two night’s ago while working with a male coworker I had a vision happen. I was finish up with cleaning our dinging room area and I had a vision about my co worker severally cutting his finger. I saw myself rushing to call 911 and all the blood. It seemed like about to minutes later while still mopping and almost done I hear oh F*** coming from our dish room. I come racing around the corner to see his bloody hand. He did end up cutting his finger not as severely as in my vision but bad enough to need stitches. Lots of blood .. why is this happening to me. My visions have never been that close to me and I don’t like this..I could have possibly prevented this from happening. There are so many other time this has happened to me. No my co workers are call me a witch and making jokes… people this is a real thing … Why are all of my premonitions about horrible events about to happen.
Angela, there are studies, most famously done at Cornell University, that all people have this ability, but especially women, to see a violent event right before it happens. You’re just a little more aware of what you are actually sensing than most people. But everyone has this ability. It’s a warning system. At some point, if you don’t repress it or block it, you will be able to use it to protect yourself or others from danger.
Women are better at predicting violence because we are the protectors of children. Precognition is a natural part of the human psyche that evolved to keep the species going. Men are actually better at psychically anticipating sexual opportunities and women are better at psychically anticipating violence. It’s all about evolution. Your colleagues who call you a witch also have the ability but they are asleep at the wheel.
Ever since I was 7 (I’m now in my late 40’s), I would have dreams about someone (known & unknown to me) dying. But the dreams never showed how they passed. Just that something bad happened to them and they were no longer here. Examples:
1. My 1st dream age 7 was of my uncle Tony. Lying in a hospital bed. He had a bandage wrapped around his head. He was motioning me to come closer to the bed. I was scared and slowly made my way to his bedside. He smiled at me. Told me he loves me and to stay the funny good girl I have always been. He loves me very much. The next day as I woke up, my mom was crying. I found my dad hanging up the phone. Then being shuffled into the car. Scared not knowing what was going on. Only that we were on our way to my grandparents. As we get there is when my parents tell me the news. The previous night my uncle Tony was mistaken for someone else. He was shot in the head. Died in the middle of surgery.
2. A girl (I was in high school at the time) I would always see going to 4th period. We passed each other every day. We’d always smile hi at each other. Even though I didn’t know her or her name. She was popular, pretty & ALWAYS had a smile on her face. I didn’t have a dream about her. I just got incredible waves of dreadful feelings. Feeling like something very bad was going to happen to her. I just remember memorizing her face the week of those waves of bad feelings. The next Monday word was out around school. That prev Saturday her, her sister & her sister’s boyfriend were on their way home from a party. In his car. They were all intoxicated. They ended up in a fatal car accident. The girl was the only one who died.
I still get dreams & odd feelings. But it’s when I don’t say anything it will happen. If I do it won’t. Kinda like not telling anyone your bday wish.
Am I crazy or is there something there?
Angel, seeing deaths in advance is a gift. I have met many people with this particular gift. Your ability to actually see your uncle saying goodbye to you is especially wonderful because you got a message that he wanted to give across space and time that you were able to receive. It is likely he left other messages to people in the family but they couldn’t hear them as clearly as you heard yours. You are telling all of us something wonderful about those who have to leave us —that they are speaking to us.
I met someone today that told me she had a gift of a second sense. She gave me a warning of something absolutely horrifying that she “saw”happening to me. It has now left me with a very uneasy feeling. Is this usual for people with such gifts?
It is good to be skeptical of someone you don’t know giving you horrifying news about yourself. White light doesn’t work that way but darkness does. Say, “Cancel! Cancel! to that prediction, and tell her to please go away. I don’t let people I don’t know and trust read me.
I’ve had two dreams where I’m floating above my bed and I see myself laying in bed then I see my souls leave my body what does this mean to actually see yourself dead??
I can’t say what it means for you, since your dreams are uniquely yours. Usually it signifies an expanded consciousness, a kind of enlightenment. You are being shown that you can see beyond your body, outside of your body. This is a gift, so you might want to think about what it means to you that you can do this.
I always thought I could tell when something was going to happen, but now I am sure. I had a total of 3 dreams in the past 2 weeks all have happened. Now I am unsure how to proceed, do i act like it never happened or do i try to hone it. I come from a cathlic background but always believed in other worldly happenings. I’m just struggling, any advice on how to deal.
Glad you asked. Hone it. It’s your god-given gift, your way to connect directly with spirit, rather than through some guy, i.e, priest. I’ve taught online classes in intuition and will teach another series late in the fall. That’s one way to expand your abilities. Join our forum; it’s free. You can try out your abilities there and meet a community of like minded people.
Eleven years ago I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. Her death has changed my life, I believe, forever. I feel like I have literally lost a part of me and will never be the same again.
It was June of 2008 when my mother was having health issues and the doctors she was seeing didn’t know what was going on with her. She had severe lower back pain, bloated stomach, and tired all the time. This went on for weeks. I would call her every day to see how she was and would beg her to go to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion. Deep down inside I knew it was cancer, but didn’t want to believe it. That same night, I went to bed with thoughts of my mother weighing heavily on my mind and heart. The next morning I told my husband about the dream I had about my mother and that I knew something was going to happen to her. My dream was of my father, brother, sister, and myself. The room we were in was all bright white and bright lights. In the room, on a hospital bed, was my mother. She didn’t say a word. Just laying there. I remember holding her left hand and rubbing her wedding ring, crying and telling her how much I loved her and not to go, that it wasn’t her time yet.
That morning I told my husband about my dream. Later that night I was checking my voice messages. One of those messages was from my brother saying our mother perforated her small intestine and is having emergency surgery. I spoke with my dad and he confirmed what I already knew. It was pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to her small intestine and liver. She was given less then a week to live. She passed 3 weeks later. After her passing, I experienced so many amazing encounters with what I believe to be my mother sending me signs and symbols that she was with me and to know that she was at peace and nothing suffering. I’ve had numerous dreams with her in them. One that stands out to me vividly is of me answering a ringing phone that I answered. I said hello and she started to tell me how much she misses me and loves me, not to worry so much. That everything will be fine. That was durning the time my husband nearly lost his left leg to compartment syndrome.
I went to a medium about 5 yrs ago and was told that my mother was gifted and so was I and my daughter. My daughter and I have been told several times that we have old souls.
My question is, is it possible to have such a strong connection to someone when they were living and to have that connection remain after ones death? My daughter was 5 yrs old at the time my mother passed. The day she passed she awoke to my mother above her, leaning down to kiss her. It startled her and she ran to tell us what had happened. My father called about 30 minutes later to tell us she had passed.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. I hope to hear back from you soon.
Bianca, thank you for such a heartfelt sharing about your beloved mother. Yes she will always be with you. Death does separate people whose souls are so deeply connected. She wants you to know that.
A few years ago, while laying beside the guy I was dating at the time, I had a dream of a woman holding a sonogram picture in his bedroom. I knew it was a boy. In the next dream vision I saw me standing in a hospital hallway with an IV drip attached to me (the metal kind you can roll around and walk with) wearing a blue hospital gown and I knew I was dying. But in the dream I was ok with it. I looked to be around my current age. About a year and a half later I was scrolling through fb and saw the guy I use to date tagged in a post. It was a sonogram picture announcing a baby boy was on the way. The girl looked eerily similar to the one in my dream. I’m worried because the 1st part of that dream has come to pass. It was of him and life. The 2nd part, of me and death, has not. I’m worried that it will though and possibly soon because of how young I looked in my dream. What do you think of this? Thank you for any insight or thoughts.
Jen, there are so many ways to interpret that dream that do not mean you will die soon. Dreams are often symbolic so it doesn’t mean that you will literally be in a hospital with an IV drip and know you are dying. Think about how you might be reacting to seeing your former bf’s baby sonogram and how that reaction has triggered the IV drip vision. Without a one on one talk, it’s not possible to delve into where that dream came from but suffice it to say that dreams come from our unconscious mind and are not often literal.
Even if it comes to pass that you find yourself in a hospital room with an IV drip, there are many reasons to be in a hospital with an IV drip that don’t involve dying. Maybe that sonogram makes you decide to get a procedure to freeze your eggs, for example, so you don’t need to think right now about having kids, and that leads to an IV procedure.
Also the part where you say that you just knew you were dying and were okay with it. Not likely you were literally dying. When we grow and let go of all parts of ourselves, we often see it unconsciously as a death or as dying. Yes a part of you may be dying — a part that you want to let go of! So you will be okay with it!
Perhaps with the realization that your former bf is now proceeding with a partner and child, you see a path you might have had with him that you really need and want to let go of. And you are okay with it! It’s a part of you that is dying, and it’s happening for good, for the best life possible for you.
Thank you so much Jeanne! I actually was the one who broke things off with him not long after that dream (had nothing to do with the dream but with how I felt about him as a person) I had a son right before he did then a daughter 18 months later (I have 4 total now?) and I did wonder if it could’ve been about a part of me coming to an end(I was going out a lot before I split from him). Maybe that way of living? So again.. I thank you! I randomly ran across your site and am so glad I did!
I’m glad to have helped.
Hi there,
I would really appreciate your help. A while ago now (about last October November) I was sitting at my dining table, and had a picture of my ten year old son next to me (he was in bed) and I was suddenly thinking about that being the photo we used if he went missing and then went further to telling a new baby that that was her brother. This was all set in my old house (we have moved now) and made me feel really funny.
I was telling my fiancé later that evening about this horrible thought as I felt really sick and he said he had a similar thought on his way to work in the morning about the photo.
I am beside myself with worry about it. To the point where I don’t want to try for another child in case this all comes true.
I couldn’t bare anything happening to him.
I previously had a psychic reading and I was told to keep children away from the road between certain dates as he saw a car swerving into a child. However that week my son was off school ill. But the times leading up to that were incredibly anxious.
Please could you offer some guidance or advice.
K-Pop, thanks for weighing in and welcome to our community. Those kinds of fearful thoughts come to many loving doting parents. They are natural protective conjurings of the mind and concerns like those are our species’ way of protecting itself so the young can grow up and carry on. But once you’ve had the thought, you have to take steps not to let it torture you. Say to yourself or aloud, “Cancel! Cancel!” whenever such thoughts cross you mind, so you don’t start attracting calamities like that. Then follow up wihe th beautiful images of your boy growing up to adulthood, living a happy life, and you always being able to see him. The positive images can become a self-fulling prophecy and also bring you peace of mind.
Thank you so much, I think it was the fact that my partner thought it too that added weight to it. (He isn’t my son’s dad)
I guess I’m concerned it was a vision we both had as I felt it in the Pitt of my stomach. But perhaps it was driven by anxiety?
I’m going to try to deal with it the way you have suggested my anxieties are getting worse with age and perhaps it’s feeding all this!
Thank you again for taking the time to read and reply :)
I have this strong sense I’m going to jail and have seen myself there in a dream!! Things are super crazy right now in my life but I live in fear everyday since I’m not sure as when I’m actually gonna go to jail!!
