I try this alot, but does anyone have the moments where they think about something or try to "will" something to happen? Its happened on complete random occasions such as one time i was thinking:
"If this really works, i want my history teacher to choose me even if my hand is down"
I know it's probably a coincidence, but sometimes it just feels eerie.
It happens a dozen times a day to me. Well, maybe only 4 or 5. I have no doubt what so ever, that it is not usually coincidence.
Its funny, good to see a comment :P
Sometimes it happens to me, I don't know what it is but it's pretty amusing. I remember one time a few years back in my school days, I was in an IT lesson, (I always struggled with them) as usual I had no idea what was going on and the teacher had sped through the instructions and asked us to start saying, "and if you need any help just ask me, but none of you should ask me what to do because i just explained and you should have been listening". I stared at the screen for 15 minutes and pretended to do stuff whenever he walked by (like clicking the mouse and pretending to type). I remember desperately thinking, a power cut would be great around now and i shit you not 30 seconds later the screens went blank (as in off), it was a power cut and the IT teacher was in despair, also we could hear moans next door in the food tech rooms as the ovens had lost power. By the time the monitors were up and running again, some 10 minutes later no ones work had been saved and there was no time to start properly from scratch. Needless to say I was pretty pleased.
That iis really awesome! It is normally not such a clear thing, but that one is impressive.
Yes. Always in time of emergency though. Like, life or death, when its needed RIGHT THEN. Any other time its happened, I just think of it as a "knowing: before hand that it will happen. For instance, in 2002, my ex-husband and me were driving through Texas in our van, towing a small trailer behind us. We had all of our four children with us, and this was probably 1 am, traffic on the interstate in the area of Lubbock, kids were asleep in the van, I was laying down in the back with them half dozing. My ex swerved and slammed on the brakes, mumbled something half awake, saying "I should really pull over but I don't wanna stop." I went into complete mommy tiger mode. I slammed my eyes shut, breathed a deep sigh and felt myself "switch" into an instant meditative state, fully aware of everything going on and clear headed, and I focused on one goal, and I voiced it out loud in a prayer, but I wasn't asking I was TELLING God, "Stop the car NOW -" and before I even finished the word NOW, a tire on the trailer we were towing blew. Not on the van itself, but on the trailer, which forced my ex to pull over immediately, without flipping the van. Since it took the towing service 3 hours for the U-Haul people to come with a trailer tire replacement, it also forced my ex to sleep.
Another example was when I was on a plane flying to Virginia, and we were coming in to Richmond, VA during a violent thunderstorm. I did the same thing, slammed my eyes shut, my mind went into that familiar "mode" of instant meditation, and I focused on the wings of the plane. That was an interesting 10 minutes of flight. This 737 had a full cargo of people, and within that last 10 minutes we found out how many religions were on that plane, cause everyone was praying!
And when that moment happens, I believe I must be Godly. And I really believed if I really want anything badly, really really really badly, it could happen.
I am still pretty convinced I will win the Powerball lottery soon.
It's happened to me recently as well, ever since I started getting regular LDs.
We were playing a game for English. Three people played; we had a bunch of vocab words on flash cards in front of us. One person read the definitions of the vocab words aloud (the judge), and the other two people had to find the matching word; I was one of them. The catch was that we had to pick the card before the other person, or else they would get a point.
I figured that since I had occasionally prematurely guessed things before they actually happened, I might as well try now at the start of the match.
I stared at one card, trying to make the judge pick the word I wanted. Needless to say, halfway through the definition I slammed my hand on the table. The reaction of my opponent was hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. I felt like a god, or at least a badass.
I have it sometimes, it makes me feel like I can inception peoples minds :P.
I was just rereading this thread! Interesting to be honest
