Just now, I have been feeling a sense of foreboding. This has happened to me before; thank goodness, it does not happen often...

When I was thirteen, for example, I just had climbed into bed when I "felt" the presence of a man standing at the foot of my bed. I was frightened, and got out of bed. I went to my parents, who were watching Johnny Carson, and I told them that a man was standing at the foot of my bed. Something about my demeanor made them take me seriously. My Dad checked out my bedroom; he even went outside to see if anyone was there. Nothing.

The next morning, my Mom got a phone call- my Grandfather had been found dead...they said he died at just about the time I "saw" him. This was my first premonition.

I have that feeling again. I know something somewhere is very wrong. I prayed about it, but I still feel that sense that something bad is about to happen.

What causes this? How can it be explained?

By the way, I have also had "good" premonitions, too. Once, I "felt" lucky. I bought a lottery ticket on a hunch. It was a winner. I continued to have the feeling, so with my profit, I bought another ticket. It also was a winner. I still felt lucky. So, to test my "feeling", I went to a different store, and bought yet another ticket. It, too, won. This streak went on five consecutive times...Just last week, I felt a "nudge", and directed Wade to look in a stack of spiral notebooks for a certificate he had been missing for months. The thought just popped into my head that the certificate was there; I was absolutely sure.

It was.

Why do we get these feelings? How can they be explained?

Blessings, Jai

P.S.I will let you know if anything comes of this "feeling" I have tonight....Stay tuned.

UPDATE:

I ended up calling my ex, just to report that I was worried, and that I was having "one of those feelings". He said he was fine, but a few hours later, my daughter, Kim, called. She said the premonition was about her...She told me she was very sick, and was close to needing to go into the hospital. She had had a very bad night...Interesting, huh? The moment she called, the feeling left me.

Thanks for reading!
