Very often we can hear from friends or relatives the phrase "I had a premonition that this would happen" or "I had a premonition of trouble" and the like. Not every person will pay attention to such sensations, and think that a premonition is a sign. We tend to brush those thoughts aside by continuing to go somewhere or do something that could lead to negative consequences.
What is it?
Premonition is the expectation that something should happen, happen. Sometimes it is not entirely clear whether a bad or good event awaits you, but something will definitely happen. A feeling that is ahead of some possible news or business, making it clear that this will happen.
The very meaning of the word "premonition" is that a person is tormented by a feeling of inexplicable anxiety and fear, something that he cannot explain, but feels keenly.
The question of the truth of thesesensations and their significance for human life has long tormented the great minds of scientists, psychologists and even politicians. It is undeniable that the scientific organizations of the world do not recognize the seriousness of premonitions and do not have evidence of their existence. However, many human stories prove otherwise. And if they are not taken into account, denied and completely ignored, then perhaps this will cost humanity even greater losses and disasters than before.
Signs on a psychological level
Many people describe a premonition as some kind of inexplicable fear, intense anxiety, excitement. Different thoughts begin to spin in my head, for example: "what if …", "no, I won't go", "I'm scared" and so on.
For example, according to statistics and research, it turned out that those planes that had an accident, ships or trains that had an accident, had fewer passengers on board than was supposed to be on the list.
And then it turned out that some of them did not go on this "last" path precisely because they had a strange premonition, the meaning of which they understood when the catastrophe had already occurred.
Bodily sensations
But much more acutely the studied phenomenon is felt at the bodily level. It is possible that many who have experienced it at least once in their lives will say that a premonition is when sucking in the pit of the stomach or rumbling in the stomach.
Also, for example, you may experience a state in which you want to say "the hand is notrises, "especially if it concerns any important action. At such a moment, it is worth making a decision that you will not do it, and perhaps then the anxiety will recede. So you did the right thing and it was a premonition that you listened to and it most likely saved you from some negativity.
The phrase "the legs do not go" can be attributed to the same conclusions. Surely, this is a signal that warns you of a possible danger. Try to refuse, if possible, from this trip or trip somewhere.
In addition, many will confirm how sometimes they could abruptly change the direction of their path. Turn into another street or somewhere you've never gone before. Or perhaps you suddenly made the decision to cross the road, and then saw how an accident occurred in the place where you were just standing. All this was a premonition. And you heard it in time, acted in accordance with your inner feelings. Although in another way one could say that you acted intuitively.
Connecting with intuition
So we come to another important issue. So, what does premonition mean and how is it related to intuition? Or maybe it's the same thing?
But no, these are still different concepts. If, thanks to a premonition, we can subconsciously understand that something is waiting for us, then with the help of intuition, we simply quickly make the right decisions.
That is, intuition is the ability of a person to sharply, without thinking logically or making an analysis, make a decision correctly, understanding the truth of a given situation.
Quite often we make any decisions intuitively, which later shows us that we did absolutely right. At the same time, at that time, we did not realize this, acting quickly and without hesitation.
And a presentiment warns us of an impending event. But we, in principle, almost nothing can change. Or we completely ignore it.
Prophetic dreams
The concept of "foreboding" manifests itself in many aspects of our lives, including in our dreams. Surely, each of you has such an acquaintance who said that he had a prophetic dream. Someone attaches importance to such dreams, someone does not. And only then does he understand what exactly this or that vision meant.
Most often, dreams that become just a premonition of something are very intense, vivid, memorable.
You can recall several well-known stories related to prophetic dreams. For example, the dream of Abraham Lincoln. The President, on the eve of his own death, had a strange dream. The stairs he descended were draped in black material. When he asked the soldier at the post for whom they were mourning, he replied that it was for the murdered head of the country. His wife, having heard this terrible dream, asked him not to leave the house, but he did not listen to her words, and on the same evening he was killed at the premiere in the theater.
Caesar's wife was alarmed by the same terrible vision when he was about to go to the Senate. In a dream, she saw how the wall of their house collapsed, and her husband was killed. Calpurnia tearfully begged Caesar not toleave, but ignoring her requests, he went to a meeting in the Senate, where he was killed by traitors.
Thus, it is clear that if you do not fully listen to your inner feelings, so as not to drive yourself into a panic every time, then you should at least be on your guard.
Premonition value for country
In some countries, even created special units at the state security level, which are engaged in the study of premonitions among the population. So, in the UK, they organized the BRP, which means the Bureau of registration of premonitions. The reason was a landslide, due to which everyone who was there at that moment was under the rubble of the school. But some students had prophetic dreams, because of which they refused to go to school.
And according to other reports from this bureau, some miners escaped certain death when they did not go to the mine where the accident occurred. It turned out that they also had a premonition of this disaster.
The same organization appeared in America, called the FBP. This time it was the warnings about the assassination of President Kennedy.
Unfortunately, then no one took into account these signals of Alan Vaughan. However, after the assassination of the president, this premonition was the reason for the creation of a federal bureau specializing in the analysis of such "messages".
