This is the field of the paranormal that I've had the most personal experience with to date. I have dreams, vivid, descriptive dreams that usually happen within a few days of them happening. Not all of my dreams are like this, of course, and the most striking examples of this have been involving the death of people I've known. I can list at least five different instances when I dreamed of someone's death, only to find out within a few days later that that person actually died. I've only ever had one logical, unprovoked death dream that didn't come true, and I was legitimately freaked out by it for about a week. I say logically because occasionally, I have dreams of people dying in ridiculous ways that are usually connected somehow to a movie or story I've seen or read recently. (Like people being killed by homicidal robots or falling in volcanoes )
I also have premonitions, strong ones, sometimes, that aren't really strong enough for me to do anything about, but that make me realize once something has happened that I knew it was going to before it did. I can remember one specific instance when I was about seven, walking to get a newspaper with my dad, and I was thinking "What if there was a car accident on this street right now?" and then a matter of seconds later, a car came tearing down the street, jumped a median, and crashed in a field across the intersection from us. That's the earliest that I can remember, but it's happened many times since then. There aren't ever any images associated with these things, just really strong ideas in my head that I can't seem to shake.
According to what I've read, this is referred to as clairvoyance, but I'm not sure...Anybody else experienced similar things?
