Premonitions
When I was 14 I had a really scary dream about being run over. A few days later, as I gently bounced off the front of a volvo who seemed incapable of indicating, I found this vaguely reassuring.
Last week 'emadex' managed to respond to this weeks question a good five days ahead of time, so it would only be courteous to ask: What spooky premonitions have you had?

No one will belive me, and I care not a whit.
I feel that a lot of instances of premonition are cases of your mind putting two and two together long before 'you' catch on. I think those are still cool, as they illustrate what a neato toy your brain is.
I also reckon that some people are simply pre-cognizant, psychic or telepathic, easy peasy. *Shrug.*
Two things about the terrorist attacks that occurred on the 11th of September:
-Did not own a telly then. We had recently immigrated, and just hadn't gotten around to getting one. We were prioritising tables and chairs and beds. I woke up that day, a day off for me, and simply thought, 'Gosh, if something awful happened, how would I know? Would someone ring me? Which radio stations ought I have on in the background?' And dismissed the idea, made tea. A few hours later, my husband rang me. I reckon that one was coincidence. Scared me into crying, but, coincidence.
-I wrote a short story in my school's lit magazine when I was 17 that was lifted whole from a dream I had had. Details spared, it had rather a lot to do with a guy in a cave with a beard. I changed the bad guy to look like a prominent US figure known for extreme/unpopular 'Islamic' views, since this guy in a cave was totally unknown to me. That one, hrrm, that experience I find a bit harder to explain. (Yes I have the published story, wanna come see it? :) )
Best to just mind your own psychic business.
