Offhand I can't choose, I have so many, and some are a bit of both.
But since others mention premonitions I thought I'd mention a very strange prophetic dream I had that baffles me to think about. In the dream I left the library at night on Christmas day carrying books home and as I passed the Catholic Church (2 blocks from where I lived then) it was all lit up from inside due to Christmas services going on an orange tabby I never saw before came to me begging for food and I went home, got some food, and went back and fed him. There was an eerie quality to the dream and it seemed so real that I commented about it to others.
A few months later it happened almost exactly as I dreamed, right down to the cat, BUT I did not leave the library I PASSED it while walking home from the store (and thus carrying groceries instead of books), and it wasn't Christmas but EASTER. And it was exact, even the cat I'd never seen before. (I later found out he lived nearby but his owners went on vacation and so he was scrounging around.)
What I don't understand is why? As far as I can tell it meant nothing, and it didn't inform me or change my actions and seems entirely pointless. There are all kinds of incidents in my life that a heads up would've been useful (or at least leave enough of an "impression" to be picked up psychically or whatever) but that's the only clear premonition I've ever had (not to include symbolic dreams, for example every time there's a major change coming that causes me to move I dream of tornadoes that destroy things and throw me about, often with a few details present similar to the events being foreshadowed, and once I dreamed a tornado picked me up and put me back down where I was and when the change came that I was sure was going to make me move I ended up staying right where I was after all, but they seem to serve no real purpose other than "brace yourself"). So why would I have a premonition about this? :confused:
