Throughout history, there have been many cases in which people seem to know subconciously that their time on this earth is drawing to a close. *I know a grandmother that suddenly got an urge to make a quilt for each of her children and grandchildren, seemingly out of the blue. *She died shortly after completing them.

There have been cases documented in which for some reason people suddenly feel the need to get their affairs in order and then shortly die. *Often dayw or weeks before onset of a heart attack, people will experience mood shifts, becoming depressed or apprehensive.

Is it possible that your subconcious knows that death is approaching and urges you to make changes?

If so, would it be possible in a lucid dream to learn this from your subconcious? *Does anyone feel brave enough to ask?
Interesting topic seeker. I was kinda discussing this with my boyfriend the other night, warning him not to make me the centre of his world, because i could die tomorrow. He's like 'don't be silly!'
I'm not.
Call me morbid, but i just don't think i'm going to live to a ripe old age. It's like, more often than not recently, i find myself thinking about the stupidest things, like order of services and arrangements for my funeral!
Regards elderly people 'knowing'
I work in a nursing home. I've had experience of many patients who knew something was 'wrong'. they became distressed, agitated, and in some cases quite vocal. One lady continually shouted for help.
Another one stressed and fussed the last two weeks of her life.
Both died of heart failure.
so maybe we do know when we are going to die. Maybe not to the minute, but i think you can have this sense of 'time running out'
Probably why i don't waste time.
