Premonition refers to a condition is which one is able to see and visualize the event which is not good before hand. The events viewed in premonition are usually unpleasant events.
There are some sensational feelings also associated with premonitions. These feelings can be an unclear feeling suggestive of a future tragedy, restlessness, concern; imaginative hallucinations. One’s gut feeling is also linked with premonitions. Events which are emotionally charged are generally known to be associated with premonitions; some events could be like accidents, deaths, disasters, etc.
The premonition sensation can also be well thought-out as precognition at times due to no clear-cut demarcation between them. The distinction between the two is still there. Premonitions are generally sense-oriented, which are subjugated by a condition of distress, physical uneasiness, depression, and this does not have any reason as such. The feeling experienced with this is something that cannot be explained; however the feeling is that something will take place. On the other hand precognition is more accurate, and involves event visions or dream which is about to take place in the future.
Premonitions occurring in a state of our full awakeness assume more prominence rather than those occurring in the dreams. The reason for this is that the premonitions that occur in the dreams generally are camouflaged as symbols which go unnoticed. If these premonitions take place in full wakefulness, one gets to be familiar with emotional tones or exclusive symbols.
There are occasions when one receives untimely intuitive warnings by premonitions nevertheless there is no registration of these in the conscious mind because they are very weak. Nevertheless, registration happens in the subconscious mind about the intuitive warnings actually. To summarize premonition is can also be referred to as expectation of an event with no any clear reason.
There are many individuals who have premonitions in dreams but are scared to talk about this in the open. Some people even have a feeling of guilt if they experience premonitions in their dreams. However there is nothing to feel ashamed of if you experience premonition. On the other hand it is considered as a ability which is unusual and possessed by only a few.
Incase you are one of those who has experienced premonition and still do so, you can actually share an event which shows harm to the society in any way and prevent it from either occurring or lessen its adverse effects. You will be able to stay alert. So if you know anyone who experiences premonitions, you may help that person to come out and speak openly about it and help avert something disastrous or at most reduce its disastrous effects.
There are two differing schools of thought on premonitions. One which considers a boon and sees this as an opportunity to know the future and help avert the disaster. The other school of thought which considers this as a bane is the one which considers it to be unpleasant to be aware about the future.
