What are Premonitions?
Let’s talk about premonitions. Maybe you know what I am talking about. Those moments of just knowing. You know what is going to happen. And then it does.
But what about premonitions that happen in such a way that we have no idea we are foreseeing the future?
Daydreaming that Turns into Premonitions
Last Monday (April 16th, 2018) I boarded a Southwest flight from Houston to Albuquerque. Usually, I end up sitting in the middle of a row simply because you get whatever seat you can find when you fly on Southwest, and I am always so far back in the line, I am left with the middle seat.
But this time was different. I checked in early enough that I got on the plane with my choice of seats. I chose a window seat, right next to the engine on the left side of the plane. As the plane took off, I dozed, sleep-deprived from a week of fun with my son and his family in Corpus Cristi.
When I awoke, the plane was high above the ground. Still sleepy, I stared at the clouds moving all around me. I looked at the engine next to me, fat and blue, shining in the sunlight. Suddenly, I imagined the engine exploding, breaking the window, sucking me out, the force of wind so intense I knew I was dying. I knew that even if other passengers pulled me in, I was a goner.
Blinking, I shook my head as if to shake such an unpleasant daydream away. Why would I imagine something so … negative? I wondered at my own silliness and lack of discipline in controlling my own thoughts. I know better!
It was great to get home, kiss my Jim, hug my dogs George and Molly. And crawl into bed! I slept until 10 the next morning.
Shocking Discovery
I don’t remember what time it was the next day when Jim told me that an engine exploded on a Southwest plane, on the left side of the plane, sucking out a passenger. Jennifer Riordan -- a resident of Albuquerque, mother of 2, PR person for Wells Fargo bank --was killed as the window was damaged by the exploding engine and she was violently sucked partially out. I was stunned. How could I have "daydreamed" that very thing, only to have it happen hours later?
If this was the only time this has happened to me, perhaps I would think it was just a strange fluke. But it isn’t.
The Parking Lot "Premonitions Vortex"
Several years ago, I was walking across the parking lot of the United Grocery store near my office, which I often referred to as the "Premonitions Vortex." Halfway across the lot, I felt what I can only describe as an impact, as though I had been hit by a car! Yet there was no car near me. “That was weird.” I thought. And I began to think about what would happen if I were to get hit by a car, and how Jim would react. Then I came to my senses and shook off that negative thought.
Three hours later, the 14-year-old son of my two dear friends was hit by a car. I spent the next week at the hospital with his family, waiting in pediatric intensive care until, sadly, he left us.
When these experiences occurred, I did not experience them as “premonitions.” For example, when I have a precognitive dream, I know it is foretelling something that WILL happen, and it always does. Those dreams have a certain “feel” about them. I have had many of those throughout my lifetime, and they have always come true to the finest detail.
Bumping into the Future
When I began to study Controlled Remote Viewing in 1996, I began having premonitions during the day – strange psychic experiences. I was out on a walk in the bright sunshine of a spring day when I suddenly felt a jolt, as though I had bumped into a wall, accompanied by a sense that something was terribly wrong. At that moment, I was standing in front of a small white house just down the street from my house, and for a split second, I saw yellow police tape everywhere. It was a brief hallucination. I wondered if I was losing my marbles! A friend who was accompanying me on the walk looked concerned. “Are you ok?!” she asked. Shrugging off the weirdness, I said, “Yes! I’m fine!” and we continued walking.
Twelve hours later, I was roused out of bed by the sound of sirens and the flashing of lights. Running outside, I saw eleven police cars coming from two different directions. They were chasing a car, which came to an abrupt halt on the grass of the yard where I experienced the jolt. The driver jumped out and was apprehended on the very spot I was standing when the experienced occurred to me 12 hours earlier.
Because the jolt was so strong (and accompanied by a brief hallucination) I knew it was something. Exactly what, I didn’t know at the time. I knew it was not an ordinary experience.
When Are "Daydreams" More than just Daydreams?
But the premonition on the plane and the one in the parking lot were more like odd daydreams, as though I was drifting into thoughts and experiencing things as if they were happening to me, but knowing they weren’t.
I can’t help but ask, why do these things happen? What frustrates me and many other remote viewers and psychics I know, is this: Even if I had realized it was a premonition, what could I have done about it? Even if I could have used CRV to pinpoint when it would occur and the plane it would occur on (a very challenging task) who would have believed me?
The Great Mystery
Humans are complex creatures. And consciousness is still The Great Mystery. We don’t know who we truly are, why we are here or how we are connected. Perhaps that is why I am so drawn to Remote Viewing. Controlled Remote Viewing in particular, gives us a method through which we can aim and direct our consciousness with a modicum of control. That control may be an illusion at times, but the methodology does put us in the driver’s seat when we need specific information that CRV is good at obtaining – especially when we practice regularly.
So as you can see, I do not have all the answers, and like you, I have experiences that are mysterious and unexplained. Why did I have that “daydream” and mentally experience what an Albuquerque mom experienced only 20 hours later?
Perhaps we are all connected in a cosmic web that allows us to experience anything that occurs along the threads. If Time is an illusion and everything is actually occurring all at once, we “psychic daydreamers” may be just doing the equivalent of peeking across the “room” of Consciousness.
Tell Me About It!
If you have had “daydreams” that turned out to be precognitive, foretelling the future in some way, let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear from you!

Shortly after my first weekend of Basic CRV class, I was driving home from work, and for whatever reason, I thought i saw a deer out my right passenger side window. I did a double take and even took a break from the usual car karaoke sesh and muttered to myself, "weird, thought I saw a deer". Probably swerved a bit too, not sure. About a block or two down the road I came around a curve which I usually whipped right around, but I slowed down this particular night because something kept 'tellin' me, "Deer! Deer!". Lo and behold, as I come around the curve, a deer jumps out of the bushes to my right and darts across the road. Since I was already going slow because I "thought I saw a deer", I was able to stop abruptly in good time and the buck made its way safely...
This went on several more times in the following month, to the point where I told my parents about it, and had been keeping track of how many deer I felt before seeing while driving. At 7/7 deer, my dad told me that when he used to go hunting, he'd start out the night picking out a spot from his tree-stand and going, "that's where I'm gonna find the deer" and then he'd wait until, sure as shit, the deer would come prancing through the exact spot. Not sure how many times, if he even kept track, but he told me he made it a regular thing, kinda like Babe Ruth's point, but the stadium was just a crowd of trees I imagine. Guess certain knacks get handed down, kinda.
He never thought much of it in terms of premonitions or psychic anything, and I'm a different kind of "hunter" than him, if that word even applies, but I won't soon forget that double take at the daydream deer!
Very cool, Mike! We were driving a 40-ft RV in the mountains of Colorado on a really high, dangerous road. I told Jim, "Slow down. As we come around the next curve, a large animal will run out in front of us." He slowed down, and as we came around the next curve, a HUGE male elk leapt out in front of us. Because he was going slow, nothing happened. If he had not slowed down, we would have been killed. Thank God for intuition! A survival skill that is built in!

Dear Holly,
Your email sounds like my life, for sure! That is what drew me to CRV. Having continual precognitive dreams seems so uncontrolled. I wondered what would happen if I could control it -- during the DAY? Not just having occasional dreams that foretold the future? CRV is a wonderful, step-by-step method for learning to control that natural ability that you exhibit in your dreams. You might consider investing in that talent by getting the proper training. We now offer convenient payment plans. Check out all the goodies right here on the website!
Warm regards,
Lori
I've had different knowings that come as simply feelings. I knew my stepfather was going to die. My mom happened to be mad at him right at the time of his birthday & I told her she better get him a cake because I had the feeling he was going to pass away. She got the cake; he did pass away 3 weeks later. Another crazy one was a dream that the hose filling our swimming pool was left on. It was, 1200 miles away in FL. Luckily, I had told my husband about the crazy dream before our neighbors called & told us. There are other stories. If this happens to you, it seems to go on throughout your life.
This is more related to ethics, I'm a massage therapist, and my mediumship kicks in when I'm massaging...so occassionally I offer their loved ones communication.A woman's son showed up, offered to her, we're chatting, mom says, I wonder why "johnny" never had a girlfriend..."johnny" showed my "The Scarlett Letter" an A on a woman's dress...!! Oopsey..guess "Johnny" was hanging with a,married woman..lol...of course..never told mom....?
Wonderful, Carol! I love your story! I have been in that situation, too. Ethically, I don't share it. But I have learned that "ethics" vary quite a bit from person to person, often in small, relatively unimportant ways. So follow your gut instinct, which I have a feeling is very good with you!
Hugs,
Lori
The one event in this type of rhythm that comes immediately to mind happened about 20 years ago on the East Coast. I was newly divorced. Dear friends, one is a well know RV expert and author, frequently asked me to visit and tried to help me move forward with my life. But the store owner was out for the manager to never leave the store if I was needed for anything. I could not make a plan. I worked in this environment for a year and learned a lot and she had opportunity to step out constantly. The holidays were ramping up and I wished to be with friends. I gave notice of one month and she was pissed. She then fired me. This led to a hearing of course and I do not remember actually how or when I saw the event in my mind's eye; but, I saw it in detail. I entered a building in which I had never been and went up an industrial type stair with a turn. I went in and sat at a table and was informed that if the employer representative was late- I won by default. He is late. I leave. I meet him on the stair, about half way up. I explain what happened along with my "piece". -Like i had worked hard and I was sorry it ended like this and he lost by default by being late. I also told him that I had precognition of it. IT HAPPENED EXACTLY LIKE THAT IN EVERY DETAIL AND I SAID MY PIECE. EXACTLY. I got a few weeks unemployment and then began a new job. Thanks for asking. I have had other experiences and those in my family have had numerous experiences.
I woke up in early 90's knowing my uncle would die that next day. Called my sis, asked her if Mom would be OK with it. She just said Mom had said goodbye to him on a visit recently. Paul died within an hour of when I said. Freaked me out, I wondered if you tell people if you know things about them? Set me on a lifelong quest for understanding of these paranormal things. Have not again called a death, but many knowings and successful Remote Viewings. I often start talking about things to patients that they have not yet said to me. I believe I naturally hear reverse speech. Sometimes makes people very upset....
Hi, Evelyn,
Thanks for sharing your experience with me! People tend to fear that which they do not understand. It's natural for them to feel that way. That is why I have been so thrilled about my students' results with learning Controlled Remote Viewing -- because it gives them control of these abilities and a much greater understanding.
As for telling people if you know things about them: I believe there is an ethics to intuition. Unless there is a dire warning that I feel compelled to share, I do not volunteer unrequested information to anyone. It seems like an invasion of privacy. When there is a warning that I feel compelled to share, I do it in a way that makes it easy for them and does not cause fear. For example, "I had a dream about you last night in which a doctor told you that you had a pre-cancerous growth on your thyroid. Would you go get that checked just for my peace of mind?" Or something similar.
Thanks so much for writing!
Oh yes I've experienced a lot of that as well but the one that freaks me out the most are "time slips." Where I can see time rewind - like squiggly lines in the air - then the time sequence happens all over again. It doesn't happen often but it happens - like Deju Vu on steroids but in reverse. It's really hard to explain.
Wow, Donna, that sounds WILD! I'd love to hear more about that!
Dr Kirby durprise recounts an awesome daydream resulting in a mindblowing dynchronicity moments later right before his ryes duggesting hos " dsysteam was a precognition of an event he was sbout to witness in a few moments after his "daydream". After watching the movie " Cartie" in the 70's ( all about radical PK abilities of actress Sissy Spacek portraying Carrie, blowing up houses with her mind after being bullied) As Kirby was laying on s hollside looking diwn on an d fRmhouse below , he wondered if anybody voild ever really destroy a house with their mind. Just as he's looking at the farm house he sees it starting to crumble and collapse from within. He is dumbstruck st what is happening until he sees the clint of something yellow emerging from the destruction of the house-its a large bulldozer destroying the house from the other side which he could not see- perfectly synchronized with his dsydreaming thoughts based on the PK events in the movie " Carrie"
Bob, you always have such interesting stories! Thank you for sharing this!
