Have you had a premonition that came true?

I had been planning a trip and much looking forward to it. About a week before I woke up one morning knowing that I could not go. This could not happen. It was a fact. It was so ridiculous it even made me laugh. I did not go and still wonder what it must have been that was avoided or what did happen that would not have had I gone.

I sometimes do. But the greatest one was about my now DH. I’d been through a terrible divorce and life had become very difficult. I was so depressed and lonely. One night I had a ‘dream’, completely vivid, about meeting a man. He said, ‘I’m on my way’. There were several things that I remembered about the dream, certain features he had, the way he dressed, the place. When I woke up I felt like it was a message and I took a great deal of comfort from it. Within a few months we met and I knew it was him. He, like many, is a terrible sceptic and doesn’t believe in this sort of thing. But I know that was him. He’s brought me so much happiness, I’m very lucky!

Many years ago I had a dream that my husband was riding a horse and he fell and hurt himself. I told him about the dream and he just laughed. A few days later he came limping home and said he had been leading the horse when it pulled him over and dragged him a few feet.
Years later I had a dream he was up a ladder and fell off. About a week later he was climbing up some harvest bins and fell of the top ones.

When Madeleine McCann went missing and it was on the news I turned to my son and said they’re never going to find her. I just had this strong feeling from nowhere and said it out loud. Of course I don’t know for sure I was right and I still hope I’m wrong.

Not sure if this counts as a premonition, but a psychic person I described it to called it a predictive dream. From the time I got married I had a recurring dream before any big event that I'd fallen asleep and missed it. In the dream I'd wake up when everything was over and be asking people had I looked nice in my dress, and other questions about the event. Six years after we were married I gave birth to our first son by emergency caesarian - so I was asleep and missed the birth. I've never had that dream since.

I have had premonitions that have come true,but cant remember them, they were things I couldnt imagine could come true but they did.

I have an odd one . If I ring ( landline) a friend or relative I always know before someone speaks ( not before I ring but just in that second the phone is picked up ) whether it is the husband or the wife. It isn't just male or female. I tried it with my husband and son some years ago. They went upstairs and took turns to ring me ( I know - too much time on our hands but they didn't believe me ) and I knew every single time which one of them was calling. I have a theory which might be rubbish. Could it be the intake of breath before someone speaks which is different in familiar people ?

I had only one premonition years ago when my Daughter was Four .
She was playing in our yard with her dolls pram ..
When a sudden strong urge came over me to call her to me .As she came towards me a gust of wind felled the tree she was playing under .

When talk of Covid started I had a very black feeling descending over me. Friends who were known for being very 'gung ho' about anything risky often tried to guilt reluctant friends into feeling pathetic about having reservations about whatever they felt was fine, like getting a group of ladies the majority over 70 and some in poor health to take their turn at moving furniture at the monthly meetings.
At a committee meeting the same few started to be scathing about the expected Covid outbreak. I suddenly felt very strongly that they were really wrong. I spoke up and said that I had a really bad feeling about it and would appreciate them not joking and making light of something that might take the lives of people we love. They did go rather quiet as I don't normally make a fuss about things. That dreadful feeling still lurks in the back of my mind and I could never have imagined the number of lives lost. I am being really careful about 're-entry' into society and I have had lots of time to reflect and consider who I want in my life and who I have been relieved not to see. That was a premonition and I have had them in the past usually about someone dying, and they have died.

A couple of times certain people have come into my mind for no apparent reason, then later that day I’ve bumped into them. One I hadn’t seen since school so 30 years plus had passed. My worst case was going on a day trip to France with my eldest son who was 15 at the time. I strongly felt that the ship was going to tip over and I wouldn’t let him out of my sight as I could see in my head people screaming etc It was a week to the day before the Zebrugge disaster, and when I saw that on the news my blood ran cold as it was exactly as I saw it.

Not so much premonitions … but I get feelings of déjà vu when it just couldn’t be possible! Bit freaky sometimes …

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 ?.

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

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.

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.

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, 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).

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.
