Developing Psychic Abilities Series Part 2:

A guide to developing Precognition

“Time is an illusion.” — Albert Einstein (implying that all moments—past, present, and future—exist simultaneously)


Understanding Precognition


Precognition, is the ability to perceive future events before they happen, and has been a topic of fascination for centuries. While mainstream science remains skeptical, many individuals report spontaneous precognitive dreams, intuitive flashes, or gut feelings that later prove accurate. Whether seen as a natural ability or a psychic phenomenon, precognition can be cultivated through dedicated practice, awareness, and techniques that enhance intuition and foresight.

This guide provides practical methods for developing precognition, exploring scientific perspectives, and addressing challenges in honing this skill.


Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his death before it happened.

Abraham Lincoln's Dream of His Own Death (1865) Shortly before his assassination, President Abraham Lincoln reportedly had a dream in which he wandered the White House and came across a funeral scene. When he asked who had died, a soldier told him, "The president." Lincoln recounted this eerie dream to his wife and close associates days before he was killed by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.

Precognition manifests in different ways, including: 1.   Precognitive Dreams – Dreams that provide insights into future events, often symbolic or literal.

2.   Intuitive Knowing – A sudden feeling or knowledge about an event before it happens.

3.   Spontaneous Visions – Unexpected mental images or flashes of future occurrences.

4.   Gut Feelings – Unexplainable yet strong sensations guiding decisions.

Some believe that precognition operates outside the normal constraints of time, suggesting that information about the future may be accessible through the subconscious mind or quantum mechanisms. To Order a Psychic Reading with Laura: Book Now

Scientific and Para-psychological Perspectives


“There is no fundamental reason why we cannot perceive future events just as we perceive past ones.” — Sir William Barrett, physicist & psychical researcher


Research into precognition has been conducted through various studies, such as:

ESP Studies developing precognition groundedpsychic.com

·     Rhine’s ESP Experiments: Dr. J.B. Rhine, a pioneer in parapsychology, conducted experiments using Zener cards to test for precognitive abilities.

·     Dream Studies: The work of Dr. Stanley Krippner and others explores how dreams can sometimes predict real-world events.

·     Quantum Physics and Time: Some theoretical physicists propose that time may be non-linear, allowing glimpses into the future through altered states of consciousness.

Techniques for Developing Precognition


1. Strengthening Awareness and Intuition

·     Mindfulness Practices: Daily meditation helps quiet mental noise and enhances receptivity to subtle impressions.

·     Journaling Intuitive Hits: Keeping a record of hunches, dreams, and gut feelings can help recognize patterns of accuracy.

·     Body Awareness: Paying attention to physical sensations, such as chills or stomach twinges, can offer clues about future events. “Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.” — Edgar Cayce (the "Sleeping Prophet")

2. Working with Dreams

·     Dream Recall Training: Set an intention before sleeping to remember dreams upon waking.

·     Precognitive Dream Journaling: Write down dreams immediately and review them later for connections to real-life occurrences.

·     Lucid Dreaming Techniques: Developing awareness in dreams may allow for intentional exploration of future events. To Order a Psychic Reading with Laura: Book Now


3. Practicing Predictive Exercises

·     Daily Predictions: Before checking the news or social media, try predicting the outcomes of global events.

·     Object Selection Games: Have a friend hide an object and attempt to sense its location through intuitive impressions.

·     Zener Card Testing: Using symbol-based cards to practice predicting future choices.

Nostradamus, used precognition as a seer who saw the future. Scrying in a bowl of water.



Nostradamus (1503–1566)

The French astrologer Nostradamus wrote cryptic quatrains that many believe predicted events such as the rise of Hitler, World War II, and even the 9/11 attacks. While open to interpretation, his writings have been credited with forecasting major historical moments.


4. Enhancing Visualization Skills

·     Guided Imagery: Use visualization exercises to mentally explore potential future scenarios.

·     Future Progression Meditation: Imagine stepping into a future moment to gather insight.

·     Symbolic Interpretation: Learn to decode symbolic flashes or imagery as potential precognitive signals.

5. Strengthening Energy Sensitivity

·     Practicing Psychometry: Holding objects and sensing their past or future associations.

·     Working with Energy Fields: Developing awareness of auras and energy shifts may increase precognitive awareness.

·     Group Intuition Exercises: Engaging in paired or group activities to test and compare precognitive impressions.

Many people all over America had prerogative visions, feelings of doom and dreams before 9/11 happened.

The 9/11 Attacks (2001)

Many individuals claimed to have had dreams or feelings of doom before September 11, 2001:

  • A woman named Louisa E. Rhine, a researcher of precognition, collected multiple reports of people who dreamed of airplanes crashing into buildings in the weeks before the attacks.

  • The Global Consciousness Project, which studies collective human consciousness, recorded anomalies in random number generators just before the attacks, leading some to speculate about a global precognitive reaction.


Overcoming Challenges in Precognition

 “The future influences the present just as much as the past.” — Friedrich Nietzsche

1. Managing Skepticism and Doubt

·     Maintain an open mind while using critical thinking to analyze accuracy.

·     Balance belief in precognition with a healthy level of discernment.

2. Avoiding Emotional Bias

·     Emotions can distort intuitive insights; practice emotional neutrality when receiving impressions.

·     Observe rather than react to initial precognitive signals.

3. Differentiating Real Insights from Imagination

·     Genuine precognitive experiences often feel spontaneous and distinct from normal thoughts.

·     Validation through journaling helps identify recurring patterns of accurate foresight.

At least two books were written with specific detail about the sinking of the Titanic years before it actually happened.


The Sinking of the Titanic (1912)

Multiple people allegedly foresaw the Titanic disaster before it happened:

  • A British spiritualist, William T. Stead, wrote a fictional story years earlier about a ship sinking due to an iceberg and not having enough lifeboats. He himself died on the Titanic.

  • Several passengers reportedly canceled their tickets due to bad feelings about the voyage.

  • A book, Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan (1898), eerily predicted the disaster 14 years in advance, describing a fictional unsinkable ship hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

As we can see the ability to tap into the knowledge of the future is a part of every human soul. Developing precognition is a fascinating journey that requires patience, mindfulness, and an open yet discerning mindset. By practicing meditation, dreamwork, predictive exercises, and enhancing intuitive awareness, individuals may strengthen their ability to perceive future events. Whether viewed as a natural skill, a psychic gift, or a phenomenon tied to the mysteries of time, exploring precognition offers insight into the untapped potential of human consciousness.


“Some part of us knows the future and can guide us if we listen.” — Carl Jung
