I often "know" things before they happen. It's usually some tiny unimportant thing--"If I put this glass on that shelf, it's going to fall off and break," and then exactly that happens. It's just a split-second sort of thing, but I've learned to pay attention. Saves a lot of broken glass. I've also learned to pay attention to intuitions about people. I was once very leery of a potential business partner who came highly recommended, who caused us a huge amount of grief and lost money. But it doesn't always work. I hadn't a clue about another business partner who was even worse. (I no longer have ANY partners.)I have also sometimes know about serious illnesses in friends before they appeared, but in other cases had no idea. I have come to the conclusion that brain waves must be something like radio waves, with different frequencies--some I can pick up, and others I can't.
