Seeing the future ?
Posted: 01-30-08 01:26am

You are going to think I am absolutely nuts, but here it goes.

I can tell the future. Not directly, but accidentally. I can't just say "This is going to happen on XXX at XX:XX. I'll say things, and then forget about them, but then somehow, that is fulfilled. Kinda hard to understand, so here is a few examples.


1.) I had a really good friend in grade school. He lived with his mother in Kansas. His father lived in Indiana, and they were not close, at all. His mother was really all he had. One day, I was just thinking about random things, and I thought,

"Wow, wouldn't that suck if his mom died? He would have nowhere to go". A month or so later, his mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and died shortly after. As soon as I heard the bad news, that thought that I had had earlier shot back into my mind.

Did I predict this? Did I cause this to happen?




2.) I used to get a ride home from another friends mom. She would pick up my friends older brother, and my older brother from the highschool, and then come pick us up at the grade school, and then take us home. His mom made the comment,

"This is my last year doing this. Next year XX will be taking you to school"

XX was a fairly wild kid, and I thought to myself,

"Oh god, I would do anything to not have to ride in a car with him behind the wheel"

5 months later, he was found dead in his room. He had had an epileptic seizure, and died in his sleep.



3.) One of my brothers friends had got his pilots license. There was a concert they wanted to go to in another state, and they thought that they would fly a plane to the airport, and then take a cab to the show. The lineup was My brother, his friend with the pilots license, his dad (also with a pilots license), and 2 other friends. My brother could not pay the fee for renting the plane, so he decided not to go. A thought shot into my head,

"At least he won't be there when the plane goes down".

I don't know what made me think that. It was just this thought that popped into my head, as if someone had placed it in my mind.

The night that they were flying to the concert, the plane went down over a field. The boy and his father both were killed, and his 2 friends were severely injured.



This doesn't always happen with large things, like death. It can happen to little things too. Here is one that happened today.


I was sitting in US History spacing out after I finished my test. I was thinking about what I was going to do with my brother when he came home from college on the next break. There are a bunch of bronze statues downtown, so I thought we might go check them out. And image popped into my head of my brother posing with one of the statues, kissing it.

3 hours later, in chemistry, someone was showing me their photos that they took when they went to Washington D.C. this last weekend. We were flipping through the photos, and then I saw a picture of her posing, kissing a bronze statue in D.C.




Am I crazy? Things like this happen all the time.


Is it happening for a reason? Is there some greater force that is putting these thoughts into my head? Why?




This probably sounds fabricated to you, and I don't blame you. If someone else were telling me this, I would laugh it off and call their bluff.



To tell you the truth, if there is something that is telling me these things, I am not sure that I want to know. I am scared that this is not fiction, scared of what they are telling me is the truth. I hope they will tell me the answers in my sleep, because I don't know if I can take it.

With east Indian techniques you can get into a state of mind where you will be able to predict portions of the future. I read some accounts of this phenomenon. This, although known to the spiritual masters of the region, is not spiritual accomplishment, and should be surpassed on the spiritual quest. Westerners will deny that this exists and will go to great lenghts to disprove what you're experiencing.

You don't get it. I don't predict these things. I feel as if I am causing them. I can't just sit and say "You will die on XX at XX:XX because you XXXX". Its just a random thought that I have. Then I forget about it. Years, months, days, or even hours later, my thought becomes reality, and my thought comes back.

You are not causing these things, humans actually never cause anything, we are the ones that are caused, our state of being only seems to us as if we actually were. We are the ones caused.

I think that that is pretty crappy that this happens to you.

Your mind is constantly working things out without you even knowing it. All of the thoughts you had were things your mind logically would go to as a possibility. Unfortunatly they happened. But you didnt cause them, if anything your brain put together the scenario as a possible outcome to events based on information you had.

I have had a few things like that but they were in realtime. I would have a dream of something that was happening to someone I knew somewhere else.

The first was when I was about 13 my friends older sister had really long hair and the night before church I ahd a dream she just grabbed her hair and started cutting it. The next day at church she had cut a lot of the top of her hair off and said she did it on a whim the night before, she was up late messing around in the bathroom like girls do and just grabbed the scissors and went for it. Totally useless info I know but there was no reason for me to think she was going to cut it because she didnt plan it hadnt been saying she wanted a change or anything.

The other I had a dream of an old friend I hadnt seen in over a year in a hotel on a road trip back home. I woke up from it about 2am. I hadnt thought of him in a while. I saw him in the dream, we were in a neighborhood it was dark we were standing in the road around some cares in teh middle of the road he waved to me from across the road a little ways and just smiled and waved. WHen I got home I found out he died instantly in a car accident that night in a neighborhood at around 2am a state away from our home state. ( he was oot, and I also was oot but in diff states)

A few other things but they probably go with a diff topic. Regardless I didnt cause any of it but did somehow know about it. I def dont think your the cause. Dont worry your not crazy. It may be your mind working out the predictions or it could be a connection to something else but your not crazy or the cause Smile

I don't think I could know about it though. If I knew about it, I would be able to stop it.

If there was only a way where I could go back, and change all of the moments of death, and destruction, and replace them with something. Something beautiful.

You didnt know, it was only one possibilty Im sure you had many other thoughts too you just are singleing these out because they are the ones that happened and were tragic, you are maybe still having some issues dealing with the deaths.
You said you only had the thoughts in passing, its not as if you were convinced of it.
I get intuitive thoughts all the time but I dont think I am causing them to happen.
Do you feel a little out of touch at all?
Maybe you could talk to someone about it, any councelors available to you?
I wouldnt dwell on it really.

( oh I just read it again) Your subconcious works these things out under the surface and some of it bubbles to the surface and pops in your head, read a psycology book for some info and dont worry

I'm actually in my second semester of a psychology course. I have tried and tried and tried to debunk my feelings, but to no avail.

We have a rule in psychology, we call it the Vegas rule:

"What happens in Psych, stays in Psych"

I don't think I would feel comfortable talking about this in front of my peers, because this problem has already ruined on friendship for me.


I am beginning to be more aware of my thoughts now. I am a writer, and I write a lot of darkish stories, usually based off of dreams that I have. I will be walking through the house, and I will think up a plot for a short story to write. When I go downstairs to my room, there are no lights on in the basement. Even though I know that the monster in my stories is fake, I keep having this feeling that it is behind me.

I assure you're not causing them. Perhaps you're predicting them, but you're adding your own faulty interpretation to it.

I can't predict them. If ONE thing were to go astray, then my thoughts would not come true. Its like the butterfly effect, you know?

Also, I had another thought thing today.

We were moving mats after school, and we were walking, and we stopped to take a break. I layed down and closed my eyes. I heard big john's voice. He said "Don't slip".

When we got the mat inside the gym, someone slipped, and the mat fell on them and hyper extended their ankle.

I think your just having some fun with us now. You would have a better grip of whats happening to you I think if you are studying that. But its an interesting topic none the less. I dont think you understand the terms predict, subconcious, intuition.
Or it would be clear how and why this happens to us all. And I think we are all afraid of bumps in the night and creepies in the dark.

I don't think you understand the term "predict" either. You're still thinking that predicting has some sort of causation in it, thus your comment about things going astray.
