Nope, you're not psychic or "posessed" or whatever. This happens to me a lot and I used to think they were visions too when I was a little kid. It's just Deja Vu.

Depth in: "I just wanna say, one of the first threads I ever read on the Escapist (maybe a year ago?) was a kid saying basically the EXACT same thing. Even some of the wording is similar, and the responses are (rightfully) nearly identical. Weird."? Oh dear, oh dear...
I will point out the silliness of it for you;
1. "One of the first" - it wasn't even the first. If there was something odd, unique or out of place, it being the first post you ever read and this being the second some time later could possibly be interesting. It being one of the first maybe and this being some random date later? No. The human brain is too wishy washy for that. It's not unlike people who use dates kind of close to a disaster as proof for their conspiracy beliefs. Example: "Well, this happened around this day, and this person died near that day almost a year ago, so it must be related!"
2. "Maybe a year or two ago" - that is a massive difference in dates, further adding to the point above.
3. "Basically the EXACT [sic] same thing" - it was kind of perfect? It was a little exact? It was sort of 100%? Doesn't work.
4. "Nearly" - two things being nearly the same in a world of seven billion people is weird to you? How... odd [/irony].
One cannot put forth a notion in a free world and expect it to be immune from critique, hun. Critique does not mean insult, either. I'm simply showing you my perceived errors in your idea as my education would see them.

Yeah, my mother had the same thing. Turns out she's just crazy.Hectix777 said:Alright Escapists, time to put your possible merit of deduction to use!
For my whole life, I've always had dreams. I know we've all had whimsical dreams, but the dreams I have are incredibly real, no unicorns or Chuck Norris and me team ups to beat Darth Vader and gain access to the golden land of ice cream and sex. They're really real. Okay so here's how it goes:
Before I wake up in the morning I get a sorta "screenshot" of something that will happen later in that day. It's nothing like me tripping or finding a $20 or the winning lotto numbers, just some idle task I'm doing in class.
It's happened everyday of my life and I've only now decided to take this a little more seriously. I'm Christian, and people who are believed to see the future are possibly "possessed" so I just want to know if I'm really precognetic, my brain is performing a series of equations and events based on random data and determining he most likely course of my day like fate, if I'm actually seein Fate, or it's just coincidence.
Again, really need the input please. Thank you
I find that there might be an ability to see shortly in to the future by way of Deja vu. It might be that a part of your brain that is dorment might turn on for a short time.Hectix777 said:Alright Escapists, time to put your possible merit of deduction to use!

no deja vu is when your brains synapses fire randomly and thus confusing your memories but he is saying i DID not thought i did so it couldn't be that.Niagro said:It's called "Deja Vu" (sorry, cba accents), it's very common an is caused by your brain thinking it has seen something before, even though it hasn't. It may even generate false memories to go with it.
If you draw your screenshot, and it then happens and you can pull it out and point at it, you're psychic, otherwise, don't get too psyched up.

Simple, in the morning write down what that 'screenshot' is and then compare it to the event that occurs.Hectix777 said:Alright Escapists, time to put your possible merit of deduction to use!

This used to happen to me, when I was five I believed I could always predict which rerun episode of a tv show would be on that day based on the dream before..trooperpaul said:This is what is happening:
1. You think you will do something, and therefore you will do it. You may also be misinterpreting the content of your dreams, and changing your remembrance of the dream to what happened that day
