Premonitions are real. I know because I've had those myself. It's not about "seeing" the future or anything. Just this feeling of certainty about what you had in mind.
I've had two of them. I might have had more, but there are two that I recall clearly. The first was I guess something like a dream premonition. I dreamed about my pet bunny disappearing by the orchids in our garden. I woke up with a start from the sound of thunder and instantly felt something was terribly wrong. I rushed to the terrace where I left her, but already overheard on the way from my mother's voice downstairs what happened. The circumstances around that event felt orchestrated. I was struck by drowsiness all of a sudden and just lied down and slept. It wasn't normal, or maybe that's just how it feels on hindsight.
The second one is less serious. It was during a speech delivery session in class. When the teacher was picking a name from the ballot, I already knew it was going to be me next. I didn't even look surprised when my name was called. Now that's a premonition.
How about you guys? Ever had them? Or do you not believe them at all?

Oohh, interesting topic owo
I don't really believe I have them, but I feel like other people can. Just based on the 6th instinct we have lost over the many decades and stuff. I think some people have a strong feeling about some things and other people no.
Well, I don't know if it counts, but I had one kinda similar. I had a cat that I really loved and cared for ever since he was a kitten. He was an outdoor cat, and one day I let him outside. An hour after he was outside, I had a really bad feeling. Like something horrible was about to happen. I ignored it cause my parents said it was nothing. Three weeks passed and my cat never came home. The feeling slowly faded but it happened again the day a man came to our door with my cat. He was pretty dead by that point, and the man said the local bobcat tore him up owo'' Ever since I felt that feeling, I knew he was going to pass away.
After that, nope :'D nothing to talk about, really.

Only once. I dreamed that I got hit by a car, and I was struck by one the next day. It wasn't serious, my bike tire was worse off than I was, but it happened in the exact same place by the exact same car from the dream.
So that was freaky.

One time I dreamed that I had been to a place I'd never been before, and then the next day that's where we went. I knew where everything was and it was super familiar and my family just looked at me and said "we've never taken you guys here before though."
Quite a few times I would dream about conversations with people and then they would happen the next day. Same exact wording, though maybe different places. It's been awhile.
Deja vu is something different but I feel like I experience that way too often? (I grew up with witches, so I believe in the power of tarot cards and many occult things. This kinda stuff is greeted by me with little skepticism.)

I have them all the time but they're pretty mundane. I just sort of see a snapshot of a scene that happens later. Sometimes way later, and it slips my mind until it actually happens and then I remember already seeing this. I've never had deja vu, because I can clearly remember having already forseen it happening.
I've had them since I was a kid, they used to be more visual, but nowadays they usually come with advice/thoughts. Which tend to be totally useless because I forget about it until it happens....
So yeah, pretty often, but they're always about really dumb everyday things.

I believe in them, not because my family are strongly superstitious or anything, just seen enough things to believe the impossible. My family believes in being able to sense good luck or bad luck during the day and that's how we predict some things. When there's good luck, we go about our day, when there's bad luck, we become slightly cautious, but most often then not, it's bad luck to the people around us than ourselves.
Ex: Family sensed bad luck, later in the day, turns out some family friend went to the hospital.
Sometimes I can see premonitions in my dreams. Sometimes it makes it exactly, sometimes makes it really weird and vague.
One was visually seeing my high school third floor hallway that leads to the library in a dream. I could picture every detail and get what the library even looked like from the inside. Fun fact? I had this dream when I was in middle school. I never knew about my high school back then or what it looked like. I couldn't have possibly seen it because my high school was on the other side of town and my family never drives there.

i'm extremely superstitious, which surprises most people. idk why. so yeah i believe in premonitions. as a kid, i remember vividly two or three times when i would have a dream at night about what my day was going to be, and then i'd wake up and follow the same exact pattern. i really believe kids are more in tune with ~that side of things~ but any premonitions i've had get less frequent as i get older, though i still get occasional flashes.
my mother's mother was rromani and taught me how to read tarot cards, so i believe in those as well. and i believe in jinn. they scare me.

These recounts are fascinating. I wish I had premonitions. The closest I can say is that once I dreamed that I would fall down a flight of stairs, and the following day, I fell down stairs. Nothing flashy. :/ I often experienced déjà vu when I was a kid, but the frequency has decreased over the years.
I'm not superstitious, but I genuinely believe in wishing stars. That shit’s real, mang.
