Have you had a premonition that came true?

I had a dream that I was standing on the shore looking out at a big ship out at sea. There were a couple of men on it. All of a sudden I called out to them and screamed that it was going to go up. It did. Fire and smoke everywhere, it started to sink.

Next day on the news was footage of the sinking of HMS Belgrano, off the Falklands...exactly as I saw it. I was stunned.

Another one: I walked into a pub and instantly saw the person sitting at the bar, and the attraction was instant. They were with someone else but we got talking as the friend I was with knew the pair. We all became friends. Weeks later I suddenly when I was in my living room I felt a 'wind of change' sweep through the room, the air seemed to move, it was very strange. I told my sons I knew something big was about to happen [wasn't certain what] so they can confirm it. I wasn't sure me and new friend would be a couple, it seemed highly unlikely at the time but I felt it had something to do them.

We got together a couple of weeks later and was told the feeling in the pub was mutual. It was a great relationship at the time, sadly we are no longer together though.

I’ve had several, and they always happen. The strangest was a man I hardly knew knocked on my front door, when I opened it I thought “I’m going to marry you, and be with you for the rest of your life”.
When he died, aged just 61, very suddenly, I realised what the odd wording (“YOUR life”), had meant.

She had

My DD age 7 told me my mother was going to die in hospital. She had every test for stomach cancer and all were clear. The next day she was getting ready to go home when an artery blocked in her leg. The had a major heart attack after the premed and died an hour later.

Yes several. It is not a nice feeling, doesn’t help in any way.

Not really a premonition but on my husband's 54th birthday we had returned from a family meal out and I remember being quite overwhelmed by how much I loved him. Things had not been great between us for many months but the previous few weeks had been much better. I remember looking at him and thinking how I really did love him and made all sorts of plans for the future. I was going to retire and work part time and go and stay with him a couple of nights a week (he worked away fro m home and was only back at weekends). For some reason I didn't tell him how I felt and my plans and sadly never got the chance as he collapsed and died less than 12 hrs later. How I regret not telling him. My mum always said her side of the family had premonitions so perhaps I was being given a warning.

For a couple of years I was always scared my son was going to hang himself. He's still with me, thank Lord, but the premonition only ended when his cousin, born on the same day 1 year later, tragically did.I can't help thinking it was crossed wires, it was such a specific foreboding.And since, it's gone.

I dreamt my stepmother had died and was telling me to go look after my dad. The dream woke me and I noticed it was 2:06am. Since she was in hospital with cancer, I followed my premonition and arrived at the hospital to find Dad grieving. Time od death? 2:06am.

For years I had a dream where I was trying to walk through thick deep mud. I could hardly drag my legs through it, my legs were really heavy.
Some time later had a disc in my neck collapse and my spinal cord was compressed. After an emergency operation I had to learn to walk again, the sensation in my legs was the same as my dream.
Luckily I can now walk unaided

I have had a premonition and it's a weird one.

In the early eighties Richard Branson took off around the world in his balloon and I had a dream that he would crash into the ocean. I knew exactly where too. My colleague at work pointed at the large map of the UK in the sales office and said: "Here's a map draw an X on it."

I did and he came down, days later, right on that spot. The people in my office could not believe it. I had no interest in Branson, his balloons or their journey, but I saw them crash in a dream.

I'll never forget it.

In early January 2020 I had a strange feeling in the car on the way to co op for a shop. I felt like something very significant was coming and people would soon feel very apart, and very nostalgic about things we all normally do. Randomly I was thinking about how it might effect social media as well. I anticipated something that would make me miss my co op trips and wondered what this might be for some weeks. It was a very unsettling feeling and I can even recall exactly where I was on my car trip when the thought hit like a brick.

I wasn't expecting this to translate to a global pandemic but there you go.

I often have a premonition that a car is coming towards us out of sight round a blind bend, and I’m usually right. Maybe there’s a rush of air, or a pressure wave, that precedes the oncoming vehicle?

Yes, I had a very strong premonition before setting off on a forty-minute car journey down country lanes that I was going to have a crash. I, therefore, drove slowly and really cautiously and sure enough, about 20 mins later, a jeep came careering around a corner in the middle of the road going super fast. I swerved into the ditch and slammed on the brakes to avoid him. Otherwise, I'd have been in a head-on collision and might have been killed.

Lots my husband was in two motorbike accidents neither his fault.l knew before the phone rang.Same with my son.Luckily they were both ok.
I often think oh l have not heard from so and so and next minute the phone rings and its them.
My dh calls me witchy pooh!

I’m not sure this was a premonition, perhaps just a logical guess, but my son was impressed. One of my cats had been missing for a couple of days. The doorbell rang one afternoon and I said to my son (then a teenager) “This will be someone come to tell us that Pickles (the cat) has been run over”. Unfortunately, it was.

The night before the Challenger disaster, I dreamt that I was in the cockpit of a plane and it went into a nosedive……my head hit the dashboard and I woke up. That was one of the few times that I had a premonition, so to speak.

My sister had an awful nightmare and sadly it did come true in every detail.

Yes, and quite often too. It usually begins with a very strong feeling of deep sadness or happiness. I remember in my early twenties, back in the 70s, my younger sister and I shared a flat. It was a Saturday and as we got dressed to go to a party that evening we both felt low, sad with a sort of heaviness and we couldn't understand why. I just wanted to curl up and go to bed. Around 7pm our brother came to see us to tell us our much loved elder sister who was only 24 years old had died that afternoon after a sudden diabetic coma! We were inconsolable! Here is another one. I went to bed as normal on Saturday, 30th August 1997 looking forward to sleeping in on the Sunday morning but around 5:30/6am on Sunday morning, 31st August, I woke with a jolt feeling awful, agitated, I couldn't go back to sleep, something told me to put the radio on and I did and heard constant funereal music which was unheard of on Capital Radio at that time of the morning), then the hushed serious tones of an announcer. A breaking news announcement. "The Princess of Wales has died......" I could not believe what I was hearing and jumped out of bed and put the TV on. I was glued to the TV all morning/day in tears.(sad).

I dreamt that my husband (a pilot) had phoned me to say a plane had crashed. Later that day we heard a plane had crashed in Cork, killing 6 people. Coincidence?

Total co-incidence. Because of his job you'll be far more likely to have such dreams, it's like a lorry driver's wife having a similar dream and then a lorry crashes somewhere.

Yes, very similar things have happened to me occasionally. Oddly reading many of these posts brings a great feeling of de ja vu. I have heard, read or know many of the stories on here. Now this means they have either been posted before on a similar thread or I've had a premonition of reading this before.

Just coincidence. As my father used to say if you think that something is going to happen and it does some say they have had a premonition. Same as when people say things ALWAYS happen in threes - they don't you only remember when they do otherwise it goes out of your brain.

There's a lot of truth in that, every year my slightly pessimistic OH would say, during the chaos of Christmas, that he feared 'This will be my last one, and eventually he was right.

We stood there holding our swimming kit whilst waiting for our mother to give us some money to go to the swimming baths... I was the older child and about 9
Mum suddenly said' Just a minute', grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper, scribbled a note on it and shoved it into the drawer.
She walked my brother and I to the door.... 15 feet at most.
I do not know what it was about but suddenly we started a most heated argument and I refused to accompany him.
Mum said 'come and look at this' She opened the drawer and took out the piece of paper on which she had written 'a big argument will have broken out by the time you reach the front door. you will refuse to go swimming'
Trivial but exactly right

I once had a premonition as I entered a school fete draw that I was going to win the prize. It was strange as I just knew for some reason I was going to win and no one else stood a chance - sure enough I did and won a box of fruit.
I’ve never had this strong feeling again when entering a competition - it’s be nice to win a bigger prize ?.
