i think Leonardo Da Vinci had an enormous imagination and he is up there with Albert Einstien and Sigmund Freud really, their brains must have been huge, i mean at the time in what was it the 17th century i think people thought Da Vinci was mad and all of his drawing and ideas came to fruition in the end its amazing what he had invented and drew etc and nobody ever thought that would happen,

I guess I canāt very well say itās not possible to have a prediction of the future having myself experienced flashes of a day I was to live more than two years later. But that being said Iām not the type to believe in superstition or āpsychicsā or anything like that. Having had a āvisionā of my future I know itās possible, donāt know how itās possible, but it is. I just, well, Iām skeptical when someone says theyāve had predictions of this that and the other significant event.

sounds like Dejavu, kinda spooky really lol
Wellā¦allās I got from it is that the human mind is just as much an enigma as time itās self. Iāll never understand it and Iām okay with that. Iām okay with experiencing the unknown and leaving as just that, the unknown.

No I canāt predict the future. But my pdoc predicted my future with SZA and she was right! Damn!
Predict the future? I see a huge steak coming into my life for dinner tonight.

I donāt either, and their predictions are so vague they can apply to any set of circumstancesā¦they are not precise at all.
@77nick77ā¦those things I mentioned were not imaginations that later happened, like the inspirational writings of some sci fi writers or visionaries in the science realm.
I saw the part of the shuttle crash area in Texas exactly as it appeared on the news over the next couple days. When I saw the twin towers first attack I saw the smoke rising from the garage just like it happened, and this vision was 6 weeks before that. When i saw the building in Iraq get hit I saw that building and the weapon that was used on it as it flewā¦same exact thingā¦ and strange thing about a lot of this was i didnt even know the shuttle was on a mission because i wasnāt watching much TV at the time, and the Iraq thing, no one knew about that till after it happened. When you see exact things as they are that is not vague, that is not coincidence.
āAnd it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:ā
Joel 2:28
What does that mean??..I had prophetic dreams when i was 19, and when i was 42ā¦ and had visions in my 40s - 50s as wellā¦ that must mean I am forever young, but also old? LOLā¦
But anyways, the scripture is trueā¦
I simply donāt believe in visions. I believe in coincidence. I believe I have an open mind but some things seem out of the realm of possibility. You believe in something I donāt. No problem.

My idea of the future is tomorrow.
My idea of the past is yesterday.

If you can predict the future/have a vision of the future, then you ought to be able to take steps to prevent it from becoming reality?
I remember my oldest brother who was home on leave from the Navy, told me the 3rd world countries are getting together nuclear arms to destroy us, so we better learn to speak Chinese (he worked on a nuclear sub).
I cried for days thinking this was the end of my life as I knew it. That was back in 1974.
I did in a small way, from a half-dream state.
One time my brother gave me some numbers and asked if I could pick him up a lottery ticket. For some reason I had a good feeling about his numbers so I bought a ticket with the same numbers. We both ended up winning $50.
Another time we went to a psychic fair and they had tarot scrolls you could buy that you had to pick without seeing what was inside. My brother said āYour going to pick the death scrollā And sure enough I picked the death scroll. Lol Not wanting to get stuck with the death scroll I picked a different one. He said " Youāre going to pick the death scroll again" And it was another death scroll. Lol And I had kept the one I drew the first time it wasnāt put
back in the vase.
When I was at my worst I believed that I could predict the future. I would hold my hand up, ask the Universe a yes or no question, and if the wind blew on one side of my hand it meant yes and on the other no. The answers were not usually very nice. I also used to believe that there were messages for me in various forms of media like newspapers and television. I hear that is quite common.
For awhile I believed the messages and the wind. I consider schizophrenia to be mean in general. Iāve often try to think of a good way of describing schizophrenia to people. My current answer is āIt is like one part of my brain doesnāt like the other and it is trying to mess with it as much as it can.ā
If someone came up to me holding a mirror or window and said āLook into this glass and you can see the futureā and for some reason I could be perfectly sure it was the truth, I wouldnāt look. Why would I want to?I donāt have a problem with the idea of determinism. Einstein once said that 'I believe in determinism because I believe in God. But why would you want to know the future, even if you assume you can then change it?
Buddhists believe in a system of interdependence. A chair isnāt a chair. A chair is the wood it is made of and the tree it came from. It is the seed of the tree and the soil that nourished it. It is the wind and the sunlight. The chair is also the skill of the carpenter that made it. It is the breakfast he ate that morning. It is his wife who made the breakfast. It is his father and mother. It is the main who trained him to be a carpenter. Everything depends on an infinitely complex chain of events and objects. You donāt know what changing the future would do to the universe. Even the bad things can lead to unexpected positive results. That is why I would turn away. No one is smart enough to take all possibilities into their hands and mind.

Iāve never had the ability to predict the future. I may have had a few weird DĆ©jĆ vu feelings in new situations but I think thatās different. The only time I really believed something was a true prediction was the whole Myan Calender and the end of life as we know it theoriesā¦but that even proved to be bunk. I have enough of a hard time sorting through everything that is either happening right now, or has has happened to care too much about the future. But I guess thatās why my life isnāt really going anywhereā¦
there are certain things that i would like to happen in the future but its not anything that is set in stone,
iād like to meet someone and have children and maybe even get a job and a car with a nice big house
i realise that this is a lot to ask but i pray to God nearly every day that it comes true and i am hoping beyond hope that it happens because if it doesnāt i believe my life will never be complete and i will die a lonely man 
and thats not the kind of future i want
Iāve dreamt things that have come true; particularly conversations. I predicted my uncles suicide, I tried to get them to remove his guns but no-one would listen, I still live with that guilt and Iām angry at him for not proving me wrong. I think that will ease off in time.
One point I predicted the world will end, through the fact that spies will take over everybody and only I can save it through self sacrifice, no one let me do that, needless to say it didnāt come trueā¦ But I was a mess during that time. Mum said the morning I woke up on the predicted date I was wild.
Also voices tell me things that are going to happen or things are put inside my head but Iām learning not to trust them, I do lose insight every once in a while though and become once again; lost in that world, because it doesnāt stop the fear. The fact that this is in my head- everyone tells me itās not real, but what if; for once it is real? Iām sure many are familiar with thatā¦
Anyway yes I thought I could predict the future and sometimes, things have come true but most of the time they donātā¦
Take care,
Meg.
You should, or at least warn peopleā¦Unfortunately most people think youāre a crackpot and ignore youā¦ same goes for the Bible prophets where they warned people and were ignored and some sort of calamity came. One exception is Jonah and Nineveh where he pronounced the city would be destroyed in 40 days and the entire city changed their ways and prevented the calamity.
On a smaller scale I have been warned twice by an angels voice to slow down and move over because cops were coming and both times cops did come up behind me, and at the time of the voice I had been speedingā¦so I took action and was possibly saved a speeding ticket.
