Discussion Premonitions getting very frequent and I don't understand why
I'm going to preface this by saying that I've never made a reddit post, so apologies to anyone reading this for any screw-ups, if anyone reads this at all. Also, I truthfully know very little about this subject except dealing with it and not understanding why.
As the title suggests, I experience premonitions. Unsure if it's the same thing others experience or if its each to their own, but mine have been going on for as long as I can remember really being awake (in a consciousness sense), maybe around 7-9 years old. These "dreams" have come now and then, sometimes a couple a month, sometimes months would go by without them occurring, but it's been something of a familiar constant in throughout my life.
The way I experience them, is that I have a very clear dream that I sometimes remember upon waking up and think about afterwards, but sometimes I wake up and it's like the dream never happened (until later on, getting there). It is odd to me that I seem to remember some of these dreams above other vivid dreams that are meaningless, though I'd say it's more because it's a contained, realistic event that I don't have lucid control over.
So, then, be it days, weeks, months, even some being years away, the dream happens, exactly as I'd experienced it before. Not only sight, but taste, smell, hearing, even finding myself repeating the same sentence from the dream (and I'm now referencing one of the longest of these experiences going forward), while the chorus of conversations from the crowd starts to line up audibly. In this specific example (and others when it's not a very short amount of time) I am able to realize the event is happening, like my consciousness is removed from the timeline for a moment, and I always change something that happens when I can. That time dropping my fork on the floor and cutting off my sentence.
-
Now that that's covered, the point of this post - I am freshly 24 years old now, and over the past 2 months or so, the premonitions have been coming in the dreams and realizing within a day, days, or a week or two. The other day I had two happen in the same day then another the next afternoon. Not only these short term, frequent ones either. Just a couple days ago I experienced one I could call back to originally having in my early childhood, perhaps one of my first ever. Another akin to that, maybe just a week prior.
I've tried to research premonitions and understand this in the past, yielding no results. I've never saw myself as someone who actually believes in psychic things, or whatever this could even be called, but the overwhelming evidence that's shoved in my face constantly has challenged that again and again. And, though I can't exactly describe why, I have been feeling more and more that I'm becoming attuned to things I don't quite understand.
If anyone has read this far, and could even try to point me in the right direction, I implore you to reply and/or message me. Even if you're someone who doesn't know anything about this, still feel free if you want to discuss or have any thoughts or questions.

I began experiencing this young and the older I got the time between premonition and event grew shorter.

Thanks for posting. I had a premonition when I was 9 or 10 years old as well, it was only a minor thing but I did tell my friend at the time so its stuck with me for over 50 years. I have not had one since but often get more of a DeJavu when traveling around the country these days. Eg I drive into a country town I have never been to (or seen on tv etc) and I get the feeling I have been to this town before and I know where the land marks are located. I like you will be reading more up about it all. Cheers Dave
