Re: POLL: Do you believe in premonitions?
Mine are more like I wake up with this gut feeling that something is going to happen. It isn't always accurate, but the whole day can suck if I'm waiting on the bottom to fall out. I consider that a sort of premonition.
I have the same thing. I'll have an anxiety attack over feeling like something bad is going to happen.
I have had several instances where the phone would ring and I would say, "Oh that is [insert]" and I'd be right. There was no plan to talk that day or at that time, and there was no pending situation where I expected to hear from said person. And it has been several people - it is usually when it is someone in my inner circle. Or the day my grandpa died. I also envisioned it that day and started packing my bags to head home early (was away for the weekend). He had been sick for 3 weeks so it wasn't a surprise, but I just... knew. I also had a vision of my grandparents walking down the street together - grandpa had passed but grandma had not. Shortly thereafter she died.
I also had a dream (I know you said no dreams but this was too freaky). In January 2008 I dreamed I walked into a trailer (don't know why trailer...) and my bff was laying naked on the couch stoned out of her mind, the air was thick with pot smoke. Then my then boyfriend walked out of the bedroom naked. I woke up screaming and crying and told him that there is nothing that would hurt me more than that. I also told her about the dream. By the end of January we had broken up and move dout of our apartment and on Valentine's day a couple of weeks later he had asked me to go out, thought he'd made a mistake, and he stood me up. Turned out that was the first night they hooked up, and it continued for months after that.
My mom said when I was a kid I used to predict things that would happen and it would freak her and her friends out.
Didn't help that Poltergeist was out then and I had long waist length light blonde hair.

See I don't have that kind, well I do have that "something bad's going to happen" feeling sometimes but it seldom proves to be true, it's just me being cranky.
What I do have is just a "this is it" feeling when there's a major decision/change coming up. For instance, when I first visited the university I went to, I just KNEW "this is it" the second I stepped foot on campus. Of course I hadn't been accepted yet, and had no idea how I'd pay for it but I just knew in my heart it was where I belonged. (As it turned out I got in and got big $ scholarships that made it possible).
One summer while I was in grad school I applied for a job at a resort, no idea why really, I'd never worked at a resort or hotel before and had no career aspir, I just read the ad and was like "That's IT! I have to work there." I went on the interview and the job I had applied for didn't pay nearly enough for me to accept it. So I flat out told the interviewer, "that's not enough money for me but I want to work here, what else do you have open?" (Who does that?!) Sure enough they had a better position for me, and that is where I met DH.
I know you said no dreams but its really not a dream. It's more like I get an image of a situation in my head while I'm sleeping. A few weeks ago DH and I were somewhere and I told him I had "dreamed" this. It's like I see everyone around us and the place we are at even down to the clothes people are wearing. But it can take a few months to a year later before it actually happens.
Oh I didn't really mean "no dreams" I meant, not just dreams but feelings count too!!
I had a dream in college that I walked into my boyfriends apartment and he was in bed with another girl. I told him about it and he started acting all funny, turns out he did, in fact, cheat on me that very night. I've always wondered if I really dreamed it or if I was sleep walking. I have always been a sleep walker but I don't think I could have driven to his house and back while asleep, could I?
Oh! I just remembered. I knew from early on that I'd meet my husband to be at a job. I never bothered getting really involved with anyone because my job until mid-college wasn't one where I'd meet guys. Sure enough, DH and I worked at Dillard's together in college.
Also, I can recall the exact moment one Christmas morning when I realized that I would only have boys. My mom and I both looked at each other and she said "you do know you're only going to have boys, right?" and I responded with a yes. I am still very certain if/when we have another kid it will be boy.
My little sisters are twins, S & T. One night many years ago S's apartment complex caught fire. She called me at 2 a.m. to bring her clothes and come get her. She did not call T in the middle of the night.
The next morning T calls me because she can't reach S at her apartment (before we had cell phones). She said she had the weirdest dream that they were somewhere together and got separated. They couldn't find each other because of thick smoke. The dream left her feeling uneasy enough to call.
