@fern46 and @bpcyclist welcome to the world of the highly intuitive. Both of you are connected to your intuition more deeply than most people. There's a lot of us out there that are connected that way. I saw my road bike accident a year before it happened in exact detail. Even the night before, I saw the accident and was "told" by some inner voice that even if i tried to avoid it, it would still happen. I tried to avoid it, by riding down the street towards my duplex...and it still happened exactly the way I dreamt it would. It's not even a mental illness trait. It's a human trait. Some of us are just more "connected" than others despite whatever our lives turned out to be. It's who we are -- deeply intuitive -- at our core. Have you two had these vision-like experiences your whole lives? I have and I never spent any time in a state hospital. I think it can run in families.
