#premonitory dream

25/06/18

I dreamt that I got into an argument with my teacher because I wanted her to postponed the date in which we have to hand her in our final paper, but she wanted us to hand it in earlier.

I've had premonitory dreams for most of my life.

It's weird. There is no logical explanation for it, and it makes me feel unhinged even admitting it.

But they have guided me before.

When my life was burned to the ground in 2019, I had dreamt of it, repeatedly, ahead of time. It wasn't a clear "vision of the future" but snapshots of moments in time that were terrifying and formed a picture when taken as a whole. I took certain precautions, made sure to document certain things, and those precautions saved me.

The end of 2023 and large swathes of 2024 were especially severe with these premonitions. I managed to convince myself I was actually just going crazy. The stress, the pressure, my lack of any true support network, made me think I was just... going crazy. I was actually convinced that I was for a solid 3-4 months, like commitably insane.

Then I started noticing patterns and asking questions. The right questions at the right times. I started gambling on my premonitions being accurate, or at least clueing me into some kind of truth. And kept being proved right. Weirdly right at times. I got called spooky for it.

I predicted three deaths. I predicted specific interactions between people, with near perfect timing.

And I recall a very specific prediction, one that took place when I moved into the house I still live in back in 2023. It didn't make much sense to me then. I think I actually sought reassurance from one of the parties in that premonition that it was just all in my head after.

Now here I am, poised on the edge of that premonition (it was down to a date, though oddly not a year - that I assumed incorrectly) and I feel an odd sense of calm. I guess because these premonitions never seem to include the other parts of my life.

Maybe I'll feel differently when it happens. I probably will. But I've gone through the emotional turmoil of it so many times already that I can look at the reality and just... laugh. I can look at the individual components as they are, and even feel sympathy.

One of my resolutions for this year (and ongoing goals in therapy) is to trust my gut. To believe when it is telling me something, because I've been proven right over and over about the concerns I tried to shove down or pretend were baseless or think my way around.

And when I really open myself up to it, there are some good feelings too. I went through the ringer in 2024. But I also started on a path that has been bearing much more fruit than I ever imagined.

Here's to 2025. With all the heartache it has in store for me, I think there's true joy for me to find here too. I just need to stay open to it.

i keep having premonitions in my dreams. im not actively doing anything to have premonitions but talking to and doing some readings with my tarot and playing card decks. i barely use my crystals for anything but charging and cleansing the two of them. i cleanse my house with sage sometimes but i dont do any spellcraft besides that. the most i do to open up mentally is mess around trying to tell my friends how many fingers theyre holding up over discord and i only get that right like 30% of the time lol

but before my grandmother died, i asked my playing cards if her most recent decline in health was the sign of the end, and he gave me a definitive yes- 3 days later, she's gone. i appreciated the warning and thanked him for the help even if it did hurt really bad in the moment to pull that ace of spades and hear him say "yes, im so sorry." just recently, i had a dream about going to my grand aunt's funeral. a day later, my mom calls me and tells me she's gone- i didnt say anything about this dream since i was hoping it... yknow. was just a dream. didnt ask my cards about it. i didnt know her very well and hadnt been reminded of her in a while, so it freaked me out when i got the call and just.... knew already.

ive been having incidents like this happen in increasing frequency and its starting to get concerning since im not really the most in tune with my spiritual side so i dont get why this is happening? id really appreciate any second opinion, and i thank you in advance for just. reading this, haha

first of all, please don't feel like you're doing something wrong or out of the ordinary by having these. while it is scary and confusing, it seems like it's natural for you. i have premonition dreams as well, though theyve declined in frequency as my mental health has declined as well, but mine started coming around a lot when people or pets were about to die, or when something life-changing was going to happen. i was a preteen when i remember them starting and being frequent, so i definitely wasn't doing any intentional spellwork back then - it just happened.

premonitions are something that can occur with ease for some people, or with training and practice with others. that's how all clairsence works.

unfortunately, i dont know how to stop or lessen premonitions - the only thing that's ever worked for me was getting extremely depressed and on the edge of suicide, so i definitely don't recommend that. at all. but, i don't think you should try to shut it out. it can be scary, especially with what you're getting right now, and i understand.

journal your dreams. all of them. every morning as soon as you wake up and have a sip of water, bust out your nearest empty spiral bound notebook and write everything you can remember. even if its only one thing, or nothing. or a whole lot of something. i found that often, the act of writing out your dream can help you remember it even better.

dream journaling helps you keep track of what you know and what you don't, and you can practice dream interpretation if you feel like it (a lot of my premonitory dreams weren't so cut and dry as seeing a funeral, it would be something deeply symbolic, like a once dead deer suddenly rising and bursting into ash). aside from that, dream journaling can help improve memory and focus, and might even help you learn how to lucid dream.

also, i would consider asking your parents (if able) if they have or had premonitory dreams as well. when mine were first appearing, i was scared and worried, and i asked my mum about it, and she told me she has premonition dreams too, as did her mum, and her mum before her. it runs in our family, and when i spoke to friends that also claimed premonitory dreams, in ran in their families too. perhaps the elders in your family have some advice as well. premonitory dreams aren't inherently a spiritual thing, or limited to one spirituality - they happen in all religions and all walks of life whether spiritual or not.

thank you for sending me this ask, i hope this helped. please feel free to message me or send more asks if you have any other questions.
