Reply #4: I have had this happen to me a few times [View All]

and am freaked out about every time it happens. So I guess I don't have any advice how to take it in stride but just sympathy that it happens to you too. My mother used to talk about her mother being able to do this with relatives. My grandmother was overcome once by the smell of carnations and 'knew' that a very close nephew had been killed in WW2. As he wasn't in combat but on a base stateside, this was not expected. One of my aunts used to have premonitions with visions of crows as harbingers of death - had one for the same person who was her son. I had a dream earlier this summer re Teddy Kennedy. Or I know what people are going to me tell when they come to tell me of a death. Not sure if that is premonition or just a mind open to hearing about death.

It's freaks me out as I don't know what I am supposed to do with this knowledge. It seems so off the wall and unnecessary and certainly doesn't fit into my world view of a practical universe.
