    Learning about Premonitions

    By Angeline Duport


    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.

    The majority of premonitions are related to the senses, and most people experience emotional distress for no reason while they're occurring - a hard to describe feeling that something bad is going to happen. These events can occur at a significant distance from the person who is actually experiencing the premonition, and without their having had any outside information that might tell them that something is wrong.

    Premonitions most often occur about events that will happen to the person experiencing them, or to a friend, relative, or other person with an emotional attachment.

    So, why do we experience premonitions primarily when bad things are going to happen, and not premonitions of positive events? This may be for the same reason that it is easier to learn about the future while we are sleeping than it is while we are awake. Unless there is a force that keeps it from doing so, our conscious, logical mind overpowers our less logical, creative mind, and keeps us from processing this information.

    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 are people that have been able to tell about positive events in the future. Many people consider this as fortune telling or prophecy more than they consider it premonition but the same thing is occurring in this case. The events of the future are being told in the present.

    No one knows for sure why these phenomenon occur. Some would say that they're simply another form of dream, but this does not explain the eerie accuracy of some people's premonitions and prophetic dreams. Details that could not have been known beforehand are reproduced down to the smallest piece of information. There are a lot of theories about why we experience premonitions and prophetic visions or dreams, but so far, none of them are objectively verifiable. We just know that many people report having this kind of experience.

    There are those that believe that a divine force such as God or a universal spirit is responsible for the vision of the future. Others believe that it is all part of time being nonlinear - we are simply remembering things that are going to happen because all at once, these things are happening. Other people believe that time is just circling and that we are recalling things that happened during the last cycle of time. One other theory points to a web of energy that connects everything in the world and that the information is simply passed through the web.

    No matter what the real reason is for premonitions, it is possible to bring them to consciousness. This is not something that occurs easily and it is very rare since you have to force your conscious mind to let go of the controls and being able to sort out the false information that your imagination may bring forward. It is possible, in some cases, as people have spent a large amount of time practicing and giving an abundance of effort. There are some people that can intentionally have a prophetic visor or premonition.

    This can be done in several different ways and they all are largely different depending on the person. Some use meditation and prayer and others need extreme concentration and isolation.

    The visions that occur are not always very important. There are some people that can only see things that are really not that important in their lives and the events that are very important are never seen. With this said, if you work hard and find the technique that is best for you, you too could have intentional premonitions.
