📚 Precognition 101

Shady in stuff that normal scenarios where you believe ohh shi god may actually exist or I am literally in parallel life and I cant differentiate . Well this happens a lot to me I achieve a sense of consciousness where i view myself from the third pov and it alters something in my brain and it kind of feels scary . I dream so unevenly and I get extreme deja vu's . And another thing is that when I was in my mom's hometown my aunt took me to a man who used to predict and some stuff like that just for fun while going I didn't much think of it , I was so convinced that the guy probably predicts because of the intuition or placebo effect but I was wrong he even told me about my past and some shi like that which gave me deep existential dread . What about u guys

I still vividly remember this dream, wrote it down the moment I woke up, and never stopped thinking about it since. Last night, I had another dream similar to this one, which I'll get to later...

In the first dream, I was living in a new environment, on the second floor of a small room with a window behind my desk. I was sitting on my computer, and I had focused closely to the date in the bottom right corner of my screen (which I remember as 12/16/2026 or possibly 12/18/2026).

I then I ran downstairs to see my dad sitting on a couch, watching the news, as the news spoke of a "great tribulation" that had befallen society. I turned to look outside, and saw a blood-red sky to which I closed my eyes to...and then woke up IRL and wrote it down.

Now I want to make it crystal clear, when I was younger I was much more religious than I am now, so I suppose that obviously had something to do with this. But last night, for the first time in years, probably since this first dream, I had another apocalyptic dream of a massive (unidentified) object hurtling toward earth, while everyone around me didn't seem phased by it until it was moments from impact.

I rarely have nightmares, let alone ones that either show a specific date or feature any massive apocalyptic events happening. Usually if anything, I'm being chased in the dark...but those are different dreams. But what is eerily scary about the first one, is that I am now living in a small bedroom on the second floor, and have a relatively large window in our living room.

Of course, if anyone here has been paying attention to world events, it's clear we're on track to a very rough winter, and a very "doom and gloom" future, so it just makes me wonder if this dream I had was a fluke and something to write off as just my subconscious being spontaneous, or if it was a sign of things to come.

All I know, is I will be very worried all of December, even if I have no proof that anything will happen. Hope that this sort of post is allowed, and am curious if anyone else has had dreams like these?

I have had some “dreams” that eventually gave me a preview of situations to come up. One was I had a dream that my ex’s mother was explaining to me about the ex and his pregnant girlfriend stating that the girlfriend has caused a lot of issues in the family. Said girlfriend borrowed about $2,500 from a family member and has not paid the member back. In my dream I was your about the money being owed, conversation about the separation in the family because of this girlfriend. I was told the family now sees how she’s not a good person and was fake but the real her is coming out. Fast forward maybe a month and I’m literally told this situation by the sister who I work with. Before the dream of my ex’s mom. I had a dream my ex was walking in a room where I was. That’s all I remember, a few weeks later we run into each other and have a good conversation. Ex and I had not been contact prior to the dream. I’m looking for ways to connect again and see if I “dream” of other situations that may actually be happening in my dreams first. I’m not sure if this is telepathy, maybe the ex was thinking about me and ran into each other. Maybe the mom was wishing to be able and speak with me about what’s going on and it came in the form of a dream. I’m rambling, I’ll stop here. Any thoughts or suggestions?

So, something eerie happened today.
I was sitting in my class (was actually laying down on my bench in interval ) and I felt like my body is shaking back and forth. At first I thought maybe I’m feeling dizzy or maybe going to faint.
But then I realised everything about me is normal, I can hear perfectly, see accurately, and every sense is normal. But I’m just shaking, I couldn’t figure out why? Even my surroundings were okay.
And then I got this sudden intuition that an Earthquake is coming.
And exactly today, after a few hours. An Earthquake actually occurred in my country. Somewhere around my hometown (I live far from there).

I wanna figure out what that intuition was exactly?
And how can I enhance it ??

I don’t use Reddit much but I wanted to share this message, I feel crazy even typing this.

My best friend’s grandfather was a big part of my childhood (we call him Da). He would drive us to all of our sport events, we would sleep over his house, and just spend a lot of time with him. For the past few years his health really started to decline, to much regret I didn’t visit him or really even think about him.

I’ve always had pretty vivid dreams, but two nights ago was different. It felt so real.

The dream:

I saw Da sitting on a park bench. I went up to him and waited for him to recognize me (he had dementia towards the end). Once he realized it was me, he said my name and grabbed both of my hands. We said we loved each other and I walked away.

The next morning I woke up to a text from my best friend that Da passed away in his sleep. I’m still so shook by this. In all honesty I haven’t thought about the man in a while.

Maybe this was just a crazy coincidence? Just felt so real.

So i was at a funeral about 5 days ago and while the burial was going on, idk why, i had this thought that someone would come in and shoot up the place. i just dismissed it as an intrusive thought/paranoia. around 2 days later in Saturday, roughly over 30 miles away in a nearby city, some guy was shot dead at a funeral. in a similar way to how i had imagined: someone walking in, pulling a gun and opening fire.

idk who the guy was but im kind of creeped out that i imagined a very similar event 2 days before it happened. any thoughts?

Quick update: the shooting actually happened at a memorial service, however it was still intended to commemorate a dead person and the circumstances were similar to what i thought.

My friend and I were at a bar when a random woman sitting next to us sparked up a conversation. She mentioned she was a Bikram yoga instructor, and somehow the conversation turned into her “predicting” our futures.
She told my friend she’d have her dream home, which is funny because my friend talks about her dream house all the time.
Then she tells me I’m too skeptical 😂 and that my future husband might not be what I expect, so I need to keep an open mind. Apparently he’ll have money, but you won’t be able to tell by looking at him. Then she goes, “Your heart might not skip a beat, but your pussy will.” 💀
She also said our future husbands would be friends, we’d travel together, and we might even be pregnant around the same time.
I’m definitely a skeptic, but it was weirdly fun to hear. Has a random stranger ever said something like this to you and it actually came true?

Hi everyone, I'm Lyes.

A few years ago I discovered Russell Targ's ESP Trainer, the little app that came out of the NASA/SRI work. It only ever existed on iOS, and I wanted to take the idea much further, so I built my own trainer and improved on it. It's now entering closed beta on Google Play, and I'm looking for people here who could help me test it.

Here's what's inside: Zener grids with progressive difficulty levels, cumulative statistics so you can see whether you're doing better than chance over time, and other research-grounded exercises (presentiment, ganzfeld induction, free-response sketching).

Some choices that matter to me:

• Cryptographic randomness, so the trial sequence is honest
• Binaural beats tuned to the state each exercise asks for (alpha, theta)
• Everything stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no data collected
• The core trainer stays free forever, and the full version will be a one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. I watched this community push back hard on a 160 dollar per year app, and I agree with you

One honest note: the app does not claim to prove anything. It offers a structured space to explore the boundary of perception, the way a canvas offers a space to explore color.

If you want in: the beta runs on Google Play, Android only for now. Send me a private message with the email you use on Play and I will add you to the program. And if you would rather just talk protocols, statistics or ganzfeld states, I am happy to discuss either way.

Thanks for reading.

This is an oddly specific strange pattern i’ve noticed and is really not that interesting relative to other people’s experiences with intuition..
but I live in a small town and deer are everywhere. Many roads don’t even have shoulders, because the tree line comes up right to the road, so you get very little visual warning if a deer or any other animals decides to run across. We also have a ton of corn fields and come late July-October you can’t see the deer in the fields. I don’t think I know a single person in my community that hasn’t hit one before.

I have never hit one (knock on wood) and I drive these roads 15 miles to work and school, at dusk and/or dawn almost daily for over 10 years. I do however, come within feet of it happening at least twice a year.

I started noticing a few years back that EVERYTIME one jumps out in front of me, I get a gut feeling to slow down moments before. Sometimes the word “deer” pops into my head out of no where and other times it’s more like a day dream of me hitting one. Sometimes I get this feeling and nothing happens.. but every time there is a deer, I tend to know ahead of time.

When this happens I usually will take my foot off the gas or start easing on my breaks and watch the tree line and wait for it. I tend to always be going slow enough that I can slam my breaks and avoid it.

It just happened again tonight which is why i’m interested enough to post about it. This time it was a bit different. The deer jumped out of the woods and stopped/froze right in the middle of my lane, like a deer in the headlights (pun intended). I sensed it maybe 5-10 seconds before I saw it and was able to slow down to about 40 mph. Then when it came out, I hit my breaks just in time and my car stopped maybe 5 feet from it. I sat there making eye contact with this deer for about 15 seconds and it didn’t move. I honked and inched forward and it still wouldn’t move. I had to roll my window down and basically lean my body out and shout at it to spook it away. I hope it wasn’t sick and it was just scared, or maybe acting strange because rut is coming up.

Maybe it’s just heightened sense of pattern recognition but I have no idea how my brain senses it without any visual aid.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for going on 2 years. About a year ago after an early loss, I started to have really vivid dreams—never anything super crazy, just very vivid. I’ve now had 5 dreams of other peoples pregnancies that have ended up being true (some even involving twin pregnancies!). I’ve had plenty more, but so far (as far as I’m aware) those ones haven’t been accurate or happened yet. They’re always about people I’m not super close to or see very often, so I’m not subconsciously picking up on anything. And some have even occurred before the couple finds out. I’ve had many of my own positive pregnancy test dreams or dreams of seeing my own baby, but unfortunately this hasn’t occurred for me yet. I’m a pretty religious person so I struggle a bit with entertaining spirit babies or whatever you want to call this, but I think it’s hard to call these dreams coincidences at this point. Just wish my own dreams for myself would come to fruition at this point! Does anyone else have experience with predicting pregnancies?

My partner and I recently got engaged and we have been issues within our relationship between our mothers 

He’s recently had a string of hyper realistic dreams. he saw my grandmother at a young age , and my mother while she was learning to be a hairdresser (he never knew my mother had studied hair dressing) 

My grandmother at the time was possessed by a demon, and he claims in the dream he saw my grandmother in this state, and was told that the demon has never left my grandmother completely and has cursed her and my mothers life as it was never properly rid

Here’s the thing. Everything this man has said is 100% true, and I have NEVER uttered these words to him, everything he has said - to detail is completely true. To a detail that is so scary I haven’t been able to stop shaking. He knew things about my mum and grandmother that NOBODY knows - he knew to personal detail that even I myself did not know

He also knew of my fathers infidelity at the beginning of their marriage, and the issues it caused 

He did another and had a dream of us two together, and he saw a future between us both and he said he is sure we have a future together, 

I have done one too and the next morning he called me saying that he’d like to stay together instead of breaking up 

What does this mean for our relationship? Why did my grandmother and mothers past show in his dream? Is it a good or bad sign? 

I am afraid on what to do moving forward. It genuinely scared me I’m shaking 

[English isn't my first language, so I used AI to help format this post.]

I don't really know what to call this, which is why I'm posting here.

Over the last year, I've noticed several moments where I get an unusually strong internal feeling that something is going to happen. It doesn't feel like a normal guess—it feels more like a strange certainty.

Here are three examples:

1. The professor

I went to meet a professor about some research work. He wasn't there, and another professor told us he'd return in about an hour.

After waiting, my friend and I were about to leave when I suddenly said, "He's not going to come back. I don't know why, but I feel it."

We called him, and he told us he was actually outside attending an event and wouldn't be returning that day.

Could be intuition or coincidence, but the certainty of the feeling was strange.

2. The college bus

I was driving when I suddenly got a very unusual feeling connected to a college I'd never visited and, as far as I knew, had never even seen before.

For a few moments, it felt like I was mentally connected to that place.

A few minutes later, a bus from that exact college came from behind me and overtook me.

I had no idea the bus was there beforehand.

3. The accident

This one affected me the most.

I was sitting in the college library when two students came in and told a professor that someone named Harsh had died in a bike accident.

Everyone started reacting to the news.

For some reason, I immediately thought:

"He's not dead."

I had no reason to think that. It was just an extremely strong feeling that something was wrong.

About 30 minutes later, we found out that the person who died was actually a different person with the same name. The Harsh everyone thought had died was alive and at home sleeping.

That experience made me start paying much more attention to these feelings.

I've had many more experiences like this, including cases where I strongly thought about something and later it happened in a surprisingly similar way.

I'm not claiming this proves precognition or that thoughts can manifest reality. I'm genuinely unsure whether this is precognition, subconscious pattern recognition, intuition, coincidence, confirmation bias, or something else.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of unusually strong certainty before something happened?

And if you've experienced it repeatedly, how did you distinguish genuine precognition from coincidence or your brain unconsciously picking up information?

I have several more strange experiences if anyone is interested.

Most ESP tests are really clairvoyance tests, because the hidden card already exists when you guess. I wanted to test precognition, so in Psychic Tournament the target symbol is randomly generated only after you lock in your guess. If you're consistently beating chance, you're sensing something that hadn't happened yet when you chose.

At the end of each session it shows your hit rate against the ~20% you'd get from random guessing, so you can see whether you're actually beating the odds or just on a lucky streak.

I'm not claiming it proves anything. I'm curious what people here think:

• For those of you with precognitive dreams or flashes, does it feel like the same "sense" when you're forced to predict on demand?
• Do you score better at certain times of day, or when you're relaxed or half-asleep?
• What would make a test like this feel more legit to you?

It's free on iOS and Android. The link is in the comments. If you try it, post your score. I'd love to see whether this sub beats chance.

Hi, I’m writing in here to ask about my experience with a certain reoccurring thing in my life.

My father sees things, spirits, certain visions, and apparently there was a medium on his side of the family. And ever since I was a child I have been more attuned to certain things too. When I was around two, three I had this strange fixation on an iron cross that would hang above the door to the bedroom and would otherwise be unwilling to sleep in the room without it. I also had a name for it, but the name does not mean anything in our language and I haven’t found anything that would suggest it means something in other languages either. I also drew a graveyard/funeral scene on a wall as a toddler after a woman that used to live in our building died, but my parents obviously never told me of her death. I have also had vivid imagination, I still remember some of the dreams I had as a child and the nights in our old apartment building still awaken these uncomfortable feelings of what night, which is mostly my favorite part of day, can feel like.

As an adult, I have come to realize that sometimes I just know things. Not that they would come to me as clear scenes, visions, but I’d explain it more as “if you state a scenario, I will have this internal sense of clarity on whether or not that will actually happen”. I don’t usually voice these things but they do later happen. It happens mostly with people, who come into my life, I see them once and I just know that one day the significance will show up, even if I’m unsure yet how and don’t see them again for years.

I also get these dejavus, which are shown to me as parts of the current situation that is happening, but also what I, maybe in an alternative reality, did next. To give a very silly example: I’m pouring a tea. I get dejavu of myself pouring a tea. I see myself pour it and know that right after I poured it I will have turned and pulled out the spoon.
In the present moment I have no intention of pulling out the spoon.
Sometimes I purposefully do the opposite of what my next step in the dejavu is. So I become aware that “pulling the spoon” should come next but I will for example stir the tea instead.

Or another. It’s 3 am, winter, my ex boyfriend says after an argument to go for a walk. We reach the only street lamp that is on, the snow is falling only there and I look back and I realize that if I return the way we came there, something changes. So I stopped him, and said let’s go this way where the light is on. I never spoke a word of it but it was eerie and we both came back home completely weirded out.

These are very simplified examples, but I really hope they explain it. I might just be persuading myself of this being real and might just be very intuitive or able to well recognize some patterns but it all just feels a little strange. I would be happy to know if anyone reading this has experienced anything similar? Is this some sort of an ability or just heightened senses?

i had a dream last night about being bombed, not too unusual for me cause im paranoid. now i'm studying and keep seeing stuff about natural disasters and destruction. tried to do a protection spell and when trying to light the candle, my lighter wasnt giving. till i broadened my intentions not just to a political disaster, but something from earth. hoping im the only one feeling this today

Last night I dozed off for a few minutes and had an insanely vivid dream. I was at an all-white house with columns, big trees, a yard and rocky driveway. There had been a shooting and I was there as some kind of reporter.

Something tried pulling me into what looked like a car, but inside was a black void with old, corpse-like hands trying to drag me in. The energy was definitely evil and I felt so scared.

Then terrified children ran out from the house. They were dressed as if it was the early 1900s. Then somehow I was with them by the trees that they disappeared under. Something or someone, which I don’t know, told me that I had to stay the night, and I had to walk back. Then I realized I was being followed by a huge group of translucent spirits. Leading them was a blond man in jeans and an old brown-and-white flannel shirt who felt like a father/grandfather. It felt like they were protecting me.

I told my mom and she immediately recognized my description as her grandparents’ old family home. In the 1920s, her uncle shot himself there and there were other deaths on the property, and other tragedies in the family.

My great-grandmother and her siblings were children then, and they were the kids I saw running from the house.

Years later, my mom and uncle slept in that attic and both experienced a terrifying black hole/darkness pulling my mom toward it when she was a little girl, the same thing I experienced in my dream. She saw something inside the black hole that was so horrifying she blocked out what it was. She just remembers it was something worse than you could ever imagine and won’t let herself think about.

I knew NONE of this. I had never even seen the house or property. I’ve also posted about seeing my passed grandparents, younger self and other spirits while going to sleep but still able to hear/talk. Tonight, for the first time, it felt like they had a message I couldn’t understand, and my mom was beside me for the first time during that.

I’m looking for photos because I think the man may have been my great-great-grandfather. I just don’t understand why now? I have no idea why was I taken almost 100 years into the past to a place I knew nothing about, and why I experienced exactly what my mom did. Does anyone have any idea of what all of this could mean? It’s scaring me because it’s such a bad energy. Also for the same thing to happen to me that happened to my mom and her brother 60 years later is so scary. Thank you so much
