I think I am generally a standard guy, maybe a philosopher in some ways, spiritual in many others, but also a person who values science, but I sometimes get feelings I cannot explain. I have a friend in Daejeon.
He had two British co-workers do a midnight run. I asked him the week before if things were okay with them. I had some kind of feeling. I never met these people, by the way. I also had this feeling his hagwon would have to look for someone in Daejeon. What do you know?
The couple pulled a runner. And she is a great boss and has no one to fill in the mornings over there in Daejeon. That is horrible of them. Perhaps, the girlfriend couldn't handle Korea, and they decided to pack it in. I understand runners when a boss is horrible, but when you get the great boss out there, it really disappoints me when foreigners do that..

Nope.

This could be confirmation bias..maybe you just don't notice/remember when your premonitions are wrong.

100%?

OK this seems testable. First we need some parameters. How often do you have these weird feelings? Do you identify them as premonitions before or after the confirmation?

For example in the case with your friend,,did you connect the dream and what he said after or before? did you expect him to mention eating ham?

If you connect this after, then it is obviously just a coincidence. Your dreams that do not produce such coincidences are forgotten.

Now if you make this connection before and expect something to happen before it does occur, then that is a completely different animal. Since you can identify the premonition before the event, you can keep a premonition diary, Record the premonition, and what you expect to happen as clearly as possible. Try not to vague here. Then see if your premonitions turn out to be right. If you are still hitting a 100%, have yourself checked out buy science. I'm sure there is money in this for you.

Personally I'm almost certain that this is a case if you only remembering the hits, but I'll keep an open mind.

Back in the summer of 2004 I had a number of intense and strange dreams. This is before I came over to Seoul.


Two of the dreams involved me traveling to a new city.



The first one I was walking on a street in an Asian city. After the dream I thought that perhaps it was what Seoul was going to be like when I would soon move there.

However, when I moved to Seoul and have since been living there, nothing in that previous dream connected to what I had seen in Seoul to that point.

But then I traveled to Taipei for a vacation and while walking on the street I had realized this was the exact same place I had seen in my dream three years earlier.



Another dream during that same summer had me driving in a car in a city with wide boulevards and massive buildings along it. I though this was the city of Calgary in the future for some reason.

However, when I was traveling in Beijing in the spring of last year I relaized that this too was the exact same city I had seen in my dreams.

Most stuff you have to believe in isn't true. That does not mean you aren't having premonitions, nor that there are not ghosts, or other strange things. Though maybe you aren't having them and imagine them. I can't tell. But people used to think a guy in a flying chariot would bring the sun up and carry it across the sky. Maybe if you are having them, people 2000 years from now will look back and completely understand them and they will be the norm. Again, you could be making it up too or making a mistake.

People do tend to notice different things and stuff does happen all the time when they thought of it or something like that (coincidences). It's just people only take notice of when they happen, not the million times they don't.

Everyone has premonitions all the time. But we only remember the ones that turn out correct, and forget all the failures.
