Tarot Cards... Crystal Balls... Palm Reading... However it is done. Some people have this somewhat ability to read or see the future. Makes me wonder, where do they get this ability? Is it a natural talent? a gift? Are premonitions real? Do you believe in them in the first place? Share us your thoughts...

Tarot, palm reading, etc are forms of something called divination. Premonitions are without the aid of tools ^.^
I use tarot occasionally, though I haven't QUITE gotten the hang of it since I can't ask it specific questions most of the time, it has a tendency to tell me whatever it likes.
Premonitions..well, yeah I believe in. Though I don't think I've ever had one, I rely on intuition to 'sense' when things happen unfortunately..it'd be awful handy to just get a sudden insight that something was going to happen lol. I also have dreams that give me snippets of future events, I just never know when these events will happen or even IF they will since I have a pretty good imagination and my brain could just make up something lol. It's been rather frustrating..having these kinds of dreams has been less fun than it could be, since I often find myself thinking I could've prevented something from happening if I had just acted on the dream..but I don't know if I really could if I tried..so..*shrugs*
I believe they're a gift..and sometimes a curse. Which are given to us by our creator..whoever you want to call it. Which all people have..in some form or another, sometimes they're dormant because we're taught these things aren't real, or because we never gave them a chance to BE real..fortunately or unfortunately for me, that's never been an option. My whole family's weird like this..going back into generations. Mom and Dad have dreams..Mom gets premonitions, my Grandma can bend without meaning to, like having keys in her pocket..*shrugs again*

Yup, that is weird... Thanks for enlightening me about this topic. I now know the difference between premonition and divination (this one's new to me!). I don't know if i should be thankful or not just because i do not have this gift. but one thing is for sure, i'm glad to have known such a thing...

I've had lots of premonitions when I was 12, now they are much less... the most recent/surprising one was two years ago. I was on a trip in Iceland. One day we were on a tour and I fell asleep on the bus. I had a dream that everything around me was just this bright white light and I see a young man in the middle.I ran up to him and we started talking like old friends.
The next day I went to a restaurant and guess what? He was a waiter there! The exact same guy in my dream! Even his clothes were the same!
Since then I've written to the restaurant and got his number. We contact sometimes but I've never told him about my dream...
