War Child
This is a topic I post with much reluctance.
I've spent a while wrestling with this issue, and didn't want to bring it out in front of a wide audience, but to be honest, I don't know what to do, or to think.
Over the years, things have happened. I've found myself sitting in a car, or standing in front of a TV, only to suddenly have a thought "arrive" in my brain. Without any thought leading up to it, it just appears there while I'm thinking about nothing, really.
I remember sitting in the back seat of a car while some woman I knew was driving and talking about her plans for the following year. I was daydreaming, looking out at the road when I suddenly thought "No! Nothing is going to happen, none of that is going to occur! Nothing! No future! No!"
I was a bit wierded out by it, but I was overcome with the idea that this woman had no future, that there was something very, very wrong there. But, I quickly dismissed it and paid attention to much more pressing, and tangible concerns.
Two weeks later she was dead of an anyerusm.
I watched a documentary on a particular film, not gonna mention the name, but there was a rather obscure actor interviewed. "He is going to die of a heart attack" was there in my mind in a flash. I could do nothing, so I said nothing.
Two weeks later he was dead of a heart attack.
Now, these were not premonitions that could possibly have any trigger in the natural world. Talking about a ship being unsinkable, and then having a dream about it sinking is a natural trigger. You have a reason to think what you think. A tangible fear, something that you can say brought the thought to you. I never had that. Just random things out of the blue. Nothing that would be brought on by anything I'd heard or seen before.
People weren't sick. The circumstances they were in were no different than any other day.
No one said "hey! this person has such and such condition", etc.
The very fact I could not have possibly known about any of these events occuring is what makes them all the more odd. If someone had told me my friend's mom died at the same age of the same thing, then yes, I might have a fear-inspired dream or something. But that's not the case in any of the preminitons I've had.
I've never had any reason to suspect the events that were about to take place. Yet, I could somehow forsee them.
I can't do it on demand. If you tell me to give my thoughts on a particualr person or event, I won't be able to help you. I'm not a telephone "psychic" here. These things come to me randomly and rarely. Very rarely. I'd almost thought that I had seen the last of them up until early this year. A total of 3 this year, which is a record. I've only had two others. The first was just a "vibe" way back in 1994, the second was the one I mentioned first - that happened in 1997, and the first one this year was the second one I mentioned, which was quickly followed by another one. And finally, there was yet another. 3 in all during 2001.
But the thing that bothers me, is the fact I can't tell anyone about this sort of thing.
I can think of every one of the times I've had a premonition and there is no way I could have done anything. If I told people, nothing could have been done, even if they had believed me, which they wouldn't of. Because what proof would I have? Premonitions don't get much reaction in this world other than laughter.
Do you believe in this sort of thing? Do you have any explinations? Ideas about what someone should do when they have one?
