Ahh I gotcha now Diane, should have read that post a little closer. I have only experienced what you are talking about a few times in my life, but I have had 2 particular situations where I've wished harm on someone and something horrible happened........needless to say I don't do that anymore!
I think the key to this feeling is in the statement "99 times out of a 100" nothing happens. Which means that 99 per cent of the time you're not going to remember what it was that you had a premonition about. It would be like pulling your car into the driveway-999 times out of a 1000 you just pull in and never give it a second thought. Then the other 1 time you bang into the garage door. Which one will you remember? It's a coincidence, which is actually a scientific term. The two incidents go together in your mind as being connected, when actually they are not. Something like a sixth sense happens to me when I driving my motorcycle. I get a feeling that someone in front is going to cut in front of me with no warning and SOMETIMES it happens exactly like I anticipated. I've been riding long enough to trust that feeling and I'll react before it happens. When I'm a passenger in one of my vans and I can see all the traffic in front, I'll often spot a car in front and know that person is going to cut over to try to make an exit at the last second. I'll say something to the driver about watching out for it, and more times than not, it'll happen. I don't know how to explain it, but it seems to happen too often to be a coincidence. Maybe it comes from experience because it happens more frequently now than when I first started driving or riding my bike.

That not exactly what I am talking about it isnt things that happen routinely that now and again one happens In traffic wether you think it or not someone cutting you off is bound to happen or stuff like that, but that isnt what I am talking about. I am talking about completely off the wall scenarios that are not common that happen.
Like with my grandmother dying, my feeling she commited suicide was connected since she did in fact commit suicide, there are also a few other things that happend that I wont get into but they arent things that one would expect to eventually happen 1 out of 100 times.
I believe a lot of people have preminitions but I think even more experience what closeup has so accurately described.
I used to be a huge believer in psychics and the occult etc etc, but I am now so jaded and cynical I am on the other side of the spectrum and much more of a skeptic now. I believe there is a lot of weird stuff out there that we can't explain, but there's a lot of it that can be explained too if we look hard enough.

That is all.
I am pretty cynical when it comes to a lot of the seeing the future and stuff like that, The things closeup talked about are expected, it is what is the word Chance??
Odds what have you.
I used to completely not believe in any sort of premenition stuff until I had a few things happen to me, than again I also used to never believe in god well I should say I lost faith in God until a few times when I will be doubting a lot and be praying for proof so to speak in a time of desperation and what I was praying for happend hard to explain but it was those things that made me realize there was something more when it came to that.

Look up coincidence in a math book. It has nothing to do with chance or randomness. It means two things that fit perfectly together-like your thoughts then your rememberence of those thoughts. If something didn't happen to reinforce the prior thoughts, you'd have just forgotten about ever having them. There's actually a technique to help you change your thought patterns that's based on this principle. Obviously you don't remember every thought that runs thru your head in any given day. It's only when you LOOK BACK that you 'remember" having had a thought similar to what has actually ALREADY happened. If it didn't happen, you never would have resurrected the prior feeling or thought to notice the similarity.
