Very often we can hear from acquaintances or relatives the phrase “I foresaw this would happen” or “I foresaw trouble” and the like. Not every person will begin to pay attention to such sensations, and think that premonition is a sign. As a rule, we dismiss such thoughts while continuing to go somewhere or do something that could lead to negative consequences.
What?
A hunch is the expectation that something must happen, to happen. Sometimes a bad or good event awaits you, but something will happen. A feeling that is ahead of any possible news or deeds, making it clear that this will happen.
The very meaning of the word “premonition” is that a person is tormented by a feeling of inexplicable anxiety and fear, something that he cannot explain but acutely senses.
The question of the truth of these feelings and their significance for human life has long tormented the great minds of scientists, psychologists, and even politicians. The fact that world scientific organizations do not recognize the seriousness of forebodings and have no evidence of their existence cannot be denied. However, many human stories prove the opposite. And if you do not take them into account, deny and completely ignore, then perhaps this will cost mankind more losses and disasters than before.
Psychological signs
Many people describe anticipation as a kind of inexplicable fear, intense anxiety, excitement. Different thoughts begin to spin in my head, for example: “what if ...”, “no, I won’t go,” “I'm scared,” and so on.
For example, according to statistics and studies, it turned out that those planes that crashed, ships or trains that crashed, had fewer passengers on board than was supposed to be on the list.
And then it turned out that some of them did not go on this “last” path precisely because of their strange premonition, the meaning of which they understood when the catastrophe had already occurred.
Bodily sensations
But a much sharper studied phenomenon is felt at the bodily level. It is possible that many who have experienced it at least once in their life will say that a hunch is when they suck in the stomach or rumble in their stomachs.
Also, for example, you may experience a condition in which you want to say "the hand does not rise," especially if it concerns an important action. At such a moment, it is worth making a decision that you will not do that, and perhaps then the alarm will recede. So you did the right thing and it was a premonition to which you listened, and it most likely saved you from some kind of negativity.
The same conclusion can be attributed to the phrase "legs do not go." Surely, this is a signal that warns you of a possible danger. Try to refuse, if possible, this trip or a trip somewhere.
In addition, many will confirm, as sometimes, they could dramatically change the direction of their path. Turn onto another street or where you never went. Or, perhaps, you suddenly made the decision to cross the road, and then you saw how an accident happened on the spot where you just stood. All this was a premonition. And you heard him in time, acted in accordance with your inner sensations. Although it could be said in a different way that you did intuitively.
Connection with intuition
So we come to another important issue. So what does foreboding mean and how is it related to intuition? Or is it the same thing?
However, no, these are still different concepts. If, thanks to premonition, we can subconsciously understand that something is waiting for us, then with the help of intuition, we simply quickly make the right decisions.
That is, intuition is a person’s ability to sharply, without thinking logically or performing analysis, make a decision correctly, understanding the truth of a given situation.
Quite often, we make decisions intuitively, which subsequently shows us that we acted absolutely correctly. Moreover, at that moment, we did not realize this, acting quickly and without hesitation.
And a premonition warns us of an impending event. But, in principle, we can’t change almost anything. Or even completely ignore him.
Prophetic dreams
The concept of “premonition” is manifested in many aspects of our lives, including in our dreams. Surely, each of you has such a friend who said that he had a prophetic dream. Someone attaches importance to such dreams, someone does not. And only then does he understand what exactly this or that vision meant.
Most often, dreams, which become just a premonition of something, are very saturated, vivid, memorable.
You can recall several well-known stories related to prophetic dreams. For example, the dream of Abraham Lincoln. The president, on the eve of his own death, had a strange dream. The staircase along which he went down was draped with black material. When he asked the soldier at the post who they were mourning for, he replied that he was talking about the killed head of the country. The wife, having heard this terrible dream, asked him not to leave the house, but he did not listen to her words, and that very evening he was killed at the premiere at the theater.
Caesar's wife was alarmed by the same terrible vision when he was about to go to the Senate. In a dream, she saw the wall of their house collapse, and her husband was killed. Kalpurnia prayed tearfully Caesar not to leave, but ignoring her requests, he went to a meeting in the Senate, where he was killed by traitors.
Thus, it can be seen that if one does not fully listen to the inner sensations so as not to drive oneself into a panic every time, then one should at least be on guard.
The Importance of Foreboding for the Country
In some countries, even created special units at the level of state security, which are engaged in the study of premonitions in the population. So, in the UK, they organized a PDU, which means the Bureau of Registration of Hunches. The reason was a landslide, due to which everyone who was there at that moment was under the rubble of the school. But some students saw prophetic dreams, because of which they refused to go to school.
And according to other reports of this bureau, some miners escaped certain death when they did not go to the mine where the accident occurred. It turned out that they also foresaw this misfortune.
The same organization appeared in America, under the name FBP. This time around, the warnings of President Kennedy's assassination were the cause.
Unfortunately, then no one took these signals of Alan Vaughan into account. However, after the assassination of the president, this apprehension served as the reason for the creation of a federal bureau specializing in the analysis of such "messages."
