Those who have true premonitions, know that they are premonitions before the event. It is the reality of a catastrophic premonition that impregnates itself into the mind so not easily forgotten. These premonitions are very disturbing, and more like a curse. They often go unreported, and often seem completely useless even if reported. Once you recognise them, {it only takes one}, the suffering is the waiting for it to occur.
Skin provides an honest objective viewpoint. A litmus test if you like, to press you into dismissing the dreams that result in the coincidental awareness. De Ja Vu or premonition, the mind is a complex system that does not always permit timely recording of sensory data, nor even conscious data processing. An example of how convoluted the mind can get, is when you slow it down with morphine. Then you realise that there are several simultaneous thought processes occuring, some filtered to the frontal lobe, others not. Dream and reality become indiscernable. When you are fully conscious, it all happened so fast, the mind cannot determine what came first. The conscious rational thought, or the dream, or the unconscious thought, or was it seen first while your mind was elsewhere ?
I grant that cognitive processes pose a difficult test bed for repeating and proving true phenomena, but I assure you, the existance of true premonition still beckons the questions....why ? .... and how ?
True premonition happens, but it is random.
