Help with precogniton

The OP's spelling is suspiciously similar to several posts on other paranormal and Skeptic boards in the past week.

I believe that what was meant is that this is a skeptical forum so asking for info about precog would be reasonable but looking for people who believe in it here might be a bit unrealistic.

Deja vu is not really precog though it might be a reason some think they have it.

I use the word daja vu because most people can relate to it.
 
I'm confused. You use the term "deja vu" because people can understand it. But it isn't deja vu, so you're telling us that though what you have is entirely different, here is a completely incomparable term.

Deja vu is familiarity without reason.

Precognition is an ability to see the future.

Now, if you're just talking about having a non-specific sense of doom, that sounds like a psychological problem. See, here's the thing... You've said this happens frequently. If it happens frequently, then eventually you're going to have a bad feeling when something bad is actually going to happen.

It's like the monkeys and the typewriters. Or, one that I like to tell my friend who's convinced he dreamt of the future, if you dream every night of your life eventually you are going to have a dream that happens.

I'm not saying yours necessarily occur in dreams, or that your feelings are associated with sleep. The first person to ask about all this is a doctor. Not skeptics.

I second the welcome and suggest that if you are really interested in verifying whether you are able to predict the future through your dreams, that you agree to a test. I'm not talking Randi or a million dollars here, just a simple test that could verify or disprove what you think is happening. Would this interest you?

I belive i can prove it to my self if one of the dreams i right down comes ture but personaly i want at least three to come true near anuf to the letter befor id except im having precogs.

I heard of a disorder (brain damage) where the affected persons had deja vu for their entire lives. Everything they heard they felt they already knew. They couldn't tell you about events ahead of time, but after being told they felt reminded.

Yeah, I just read something like that--think it was New York Times Sunday magazine from around 2 weeks ago. The article mostly mentioned older people.

You could see a neurologist. But the neurologist probably wouldn't do anything more than look you over and ask if the deja vu bothers you. That's why neurologists are sometimes more benign than psychiatrists.

Brain damage is such a dire-sounding way of putting it! Lots of people have a few loose wires and still get by.

The most compelling theory I'd read about deja vu was that, while most of the time we store events in short term memory before relegating them to long term memory, occasionally some event will mistakenly get encoded in long term memory as it's happening. So, we have an illusion of remembering it as though it happened awhile back.

Best explanation yet :)

You should probably go for a percentage rather than a flat number.

I can belive this but it doesnt explain how i knew about certain things. Like that dream about me working in the fab.

This is a forum related to the critical evaluation of paranormal claims. It's not a forum of paranormal believers and mystics. You seem to think you have a superpower, why not simply apply for the JREF challenge and prove it?

You try prove somthing you dont belive in, or want to belive in .

Well i just dont like saying precognition, as saying is beliving.:blush:
 
3rd eye, I have a very simply solution for you. Concentrate on dreaming up the lottery numbers for MassMillions for the first week in October. Post those numbers here some time in the next few weeks. Then, be sure to dream up the numbers for the first week of each of the twelve months thereafter.

If you get them all right, I am sure everyone here will agree you have a wonder precognative gift and you can rest easy with no questions in your head. I will also be happy to purchase some tickets for you after you show us how you got the October numbers right.

If you find you are unable to dream up even one number - if you are tempted to respond by explaining that "It doesn't work that way," then I would ask you to consider that you are just fooling yourself and these Deja Vu moments are just odd little feelings that do not have a precognative source.

Funny anuf i had a simular idea. I was going to start watching the lottery on tv for the year, in the hope it would triger a dream for me to see the numbers. then post the numbers on a forum befoe the result of the lottery so if i did get the numbers and said '' i had a precog dream about it id have the numbers on the forum showing the date of posting.

I wana do it but it would take a lot of dedication.
 
This afternoon I went jogging. As I was leaving the locker room to go outside I was thinking about the Bangle's song, "If She Knew What She Wants". Once outside, I put my Ipod on my jogging playlist, set the option to shuffle, and pushed the skip button to play a random song. The first song it played was "If She Knew What She Wants".

I can certainly understand that after this experience some people might conclude that they had precognition. While I found it amusing, I was not so inclined. It was a coincidence. Every once in a while, this kind of thing is bound to happen.

The percentage would be like... if you had one hundred dreams and 40 were right-on, then it would be 40% correct.
