Do you believe in premonition?

i believe, there are things that cannot be explainned like how did I know about a dangerous happening few moments before it happened and I rushed out of there and nothing happened to me. I believe if it's not our time yet to die or something, it won't happen, like when something bad is going to happen and we are not a part of that and don't deserve, we won't be there. talk about being in the wrong place in the wrong time.

I've experienced once a nightmare came to me. I really felt what it was about to die. Gasping for my last breath I just thought it was my time. Something like it was so, so real. A gentle hold of my husband's hand made me awake. I cried so much that early dawn because I had felt it. I prayed so hard and thanked God afterwards. Until now just this very moment, I can still remember the feeling. It was not my time yet. It became an eye-opener to me which made me more stronger in my faith and trust in God.

I have had some premonitions. A long time ago I was on a lunch break at work and sort of "spaced out" for a minute. I saw myself driving a car and suddenly losing control of it and the car falling, as if over an abyss. That night I was driving home and was not paying attention. My car hit the edge of a curb and broke a tie rod end causing me to lose steering. The car went into the oncoming lane and one car coming at me was speeding and we collided sending my car into a ditch on that side of the road. I broke my wrist, but was otherwise OK. So it was really strange that I had seen everything several hours before it happened. Also I knew my mother would never see her next birthday...she passed away before her birthday. So I definitely believe premonitions exist, but we usually try to analyze and rationalize them until we no longer believe we have had one. We just tend to close our minds to the possibility right away.

Premonitions is just a sense of knowing what will happen, however there have been quite a number of real visions. But i wondered what is the purpose of being able to see bad things happening to people if you can't do anything to stop them.
