Premonitions - spooky
Discussion
I don't normally go in for supernatural stuff but every now and again things happen that make me ponder. For example, during our honeymoon my wife, who had been fast asleep next to me whilst I read "The Stand", suddenly sat bolt upright and shouted, "Oh no my last page - go and get it!" before crashing straight back to sleep. I thought nothing more of it (she's always mumbled in her sleep) until the next day when we were sat on the beach. A sudden gust of wind blew the last page of her book, which had become loose, off and out to sea. She sat up and yelled - well, you know already. At that point I thought "shite - I've married a witch". I let her go and get it though because I'm a crap swimmer.
Now, I was reminded of this just now as I drove out along the ring road towards the M32, late for a meeting. As I drove along I vaguely remembered seeing a Gatso along this road, near the M32, and then recalled I'd dreamt it last night. But I thought I'd play safe despite my hurry and stuck to 50mph and the inside lane. Well well, right about where I'd dreamed a Gatso would be there wasn't one. BUT there was a mobile speed camera thing in the back of a white Galaxy, or some such thing all decked with safety partnership graphics...
If I'd let my impatience over-rule my premonition I'd be looking at six points now.

I had a dream about Princess Diana dying. Woke up later and wandered down for my coffee, put the TV on and....
there were the pictures of the Paris Crash unfolding before my eyes!
I reckon I must have picked something up in the airwaves or something - sure did send a shiver down my back though.

I have to say Mrs Gopher has had a number of very accurate preminition type dreams - and they started straight after she put money at the shrine to a voodoo queen in New Orleans, puts the cr*p up me !
We were in New York end of August 2001, we then moved on to New Orleans for 5 days (where the above mentioned occurred - Mrs Gopher asked the Voodoo queen for her boss to be sorry for being nasty to her and to appreciate her a bit more in future) - So Lots of go-cups and "another" stone heaver we head for Florida for two weeks relax...
Morning of Sept 11 about 8am - Mrs Gopher Jumps up - "I've just had a horrible dream - we were catching the plane home and the plane was hijacked" - I explained it was probably because of they way a passenger had been sat in our seat when we got on the plane on the way over and refused to move - it had obviously upset her. She was ok and snoozed again. We got up a little later (at around 9am) and while we made breakfast she said - I had another dream (there is no telly or radio in the bedroom and the one in the sitting room had not been switched on - and no tower had collopsed at this time) "We were back in New York and I was walking past this big smoking hole - but it was not a normal hole - it was huge and square, and it was full of bodies..."
an hour later we were in a bookstore and I could not understand we everyone was watching this film trailer with crap special effects of a plane flying into the twin towers...
I've got a funny feeling I will never be doing the dirty on her..
btw - On our return her boss was pleased to see her and this was followed by a good pay rise not long after, that 'ol voodoo magic !

A few years back, for about a month every dream I had came true!
From what I can remember I drempt of:
French Nuclear testing
Russia INvading Chetchneya
and there was a couple of others, I then drempt of sand storms coming over from the saraha, told my friend... sand storms came over a few days later.. but the dreams stopped! .. spooky.
My mother and her Mother used to get premanitions of Family memebers deaths. She just used to feel really down and upset a few days before someone died. The last one I remember was when she was in hospital.. and she told dad about feeling upset.. 2 days later he came in telling her a family memeber had just died!

Not quite a premonition this, but sort of in the right ballpark nonetheless.
I've mentioned before that I'm in a band that's just completed an album. I won't plug any more, but one of the songs is a true story about a drug addict who later died as a result of her addiction. (Not a cheery album, BTW...)
We decided that we'd like some street noise at the start of the track, so Martin, our esteemed guitarist and audio guru, took himself and his DAT recorder off down Tottenham Court Road to get some general random racket (buses, sirens, traffic, people, etc) to fade in at the start of this song.
As Martin was walking past a bus shelter, someone piped up, to an acquaintance: "They call me the angel of death, they do."
Shudder. I mean, how does stuff like this happen????

cpearson said: i was under the impression that deja-vu is just one eye seeing something before the other in such a fashion that the brain can't deterrmine when it last saw that image-hence the strange feeling that you have seen the exact instance before
always thought it was a temporary shut down of memory(milliseconds) and then a restart,seeming you have been here before.
