Premonitions are experiences where you see details about future events. These experiences might be unsettling – many people feel nervous, uneasy, anxious, or a general feeling of disquiet, even when they have experienced a premonition that does not have anything to do with a bad event. However, the term “premonition” generally refers to seeing unpleasant events, such as a major disaster in the person’s future, or that of someone they care about.
In many cases, people who have premonitions can see or hear things that are going to happen in the future. This is also common before unpleasant events that are emotionally charged, like death, accident, or some other unfortunate occurrence. Premonitions may happen while the person is conscious, or, like many other types of psychic phenomenon, they may come primarily in our sleep. This is because our conscious mind prevents us from understanding the future while we’re awake.
A large portion of premonitions have to do with our senses and many people actually have the experience of the emotional distress for absolutely no reason while they are experiencing it. This feeling is difficult to describe if they have seen that something terrible is about to occur. Distance is not something that comes in to play when a person has a premonition about someone that they care about and the premonitions are about times that could not have been foretold by anyone.
Most premonitions involve events that will occur to the person having the vision, someone that they love like a relative or a dear friend, or anyone else that they may have an attachment with emotionally.
But why are premonitions often experienced when things are about to turn bad and not when the good things are going to happen? This could possibly be the same reason that it is more difficult to see things when we are awake then when we are asleep. If there is no force there to overrule our minds, the conscious minds that we have will overrule the less logical information that comes in and we are not able to process it.
The conscious mind is much less effective when we are sleeping and when we are under a great amount of stress. It is not able to maintain control over our unconscious minds and this is the part that allows us to see premonitions. That is why people are typically only able to see the future perceptions when the outcome is going to be negative. There are those, though, that can see the positive events in the future.
There have been several people that are able to see the positive events that will occur in the future. While many people see this as fortune telling or prophecy rather than a premonition, it is the same effect as a premonition. Knowledge about what will happen in the future is being told in the present.
There has not been anyone that is able to tell exactly why phenomenon like this occurs. There are some people that believe these are simply dreams but how can that explain how accurate the “dreams” are in the prophetic dreams and premonitions? These details that are revealed could not have been told in advance and are detailed, very detailed. While there is certainly not a shortage of ideas about why prophetic visions or dreams occur, none have yet to be verified as true. All we know is that there are many people that claim to have experiences such as this.
Some believe that the experience of a future vision is caused by a divine force outside of the person having the vision – a god or universal spirit. Others feel that this is simply a part of the nonlinearness of time – we are remembering what is going to happen to us because everything is happening all at once. Others say that time is cyclical, and we are recalling what happened in the last cycle. Another theory claims that everything is connected by a web of energy, and the information we get about the future is passed through that web.
No matter how exactly the premonitions happen, it is possible to make them occur when we are conscious. While it is not something that can happen easily and it is very rare, we can force our conscious mind to remove the control and not allow our imagination to take control and mislead us. Using a great deal of practice and efforts there are people that have successfully produced intentional prophetic visions and premonitions.
This can be achieved in several different ways and each person may have a different way that allows them to do it. It may require meditation or prayer for some and extreme concentration and isolation for others.
Not all visions will be about important matters – some people find that they can only have visions of relatively unimportant occurrences in their lives, and the real life changing events are always hidden from them. However, if you put forth the effort and find the right technique for you, learning to have premonitions intentionally is possible.
