Since about 5th or 6th grade (I'm in 10th now), out of the blue a scene from an episode of any random TV show that I watched would pop into my head, and at any point in the next 48 hours (the record is 30 seconds) I'll see the episode that I had thought about. It's very sporadic however and there's no set pattern as to when I actually get the scenes in my head. Is this a form of precogniton, or something else? The most recent case was about a week ago, and that was the 30-second record, where the scene popped into my head and then immediately after, the episode aired. --] 17:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC) Since about 5th or 6th grade (I'm in 10th now), out of the blue a scene from an episode of any random TV show that I watched would pop into my head, and at any point in the next 48 hours (the record is 30 seconds) I'll see the episode that I had thought about.

:It sounds like precognition to me, but also synchronicity. It seems like if it is psi, it probably manifests in other areas of your life. Does it? The problem with psi, I think, is that often it is very mundane, that is, it just doesn't give us useful information. Then, it misses usefull information. It gives us what we are open to, not what would help us. It also gets mixed up with unconscious patterns. Because psi is either weak, or pervasive but subtle, it is hard to tell what is happening.

Spider-Man's "spider-sense" seems more like clairsentience to me.

Actually, this can be both clairsentience and precognition, in that he can feel attacks coming. Not quite sure. However...

Kagome's ability to sense shards of the Shikon Jewel IS clairsentience, not precognition. So I deleted this. Should I stick it in "clairsentience"? Cleaning it up, of course. MasterXiam 06:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Merging with prescience

FWiW, I've noted on the prescience talk page my objections to merging the two pages.--Anchoress 09:07, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Prognosticate/Prognistication

Hello. Is this the same as "Prognostication"? Or is that something else? Ewlyahoocom 13:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Fictional precogs?

I feel that there are so many precognitive/precient characters in fiction, it demands its own category, and I'm surprised to find it doesn't have one. What should the categroy be called, for example, the telekinetic characters have the category Category:Fictional psychokineticists. The category could hold a lot of characters like Buffy Summers, Phoebe Halliwell, Cordelia Chase, Cassie Newton, Sam Winchester etc... there are literally hundreds... would anyone like to be a part of this? Feel free to discuss on my talk page too. Zythe 23:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

My parents call it coincidence, but I think otherwise

Since about 5th or 6th grade (I'm in 10th now), out of the blue a scene from an episode of any random TV show that I watched would pop into my head, and at any point in the next 48 hours (the record is 30 seconds) I'll see the episode that I had thought about. It's very sporadic however and there's no set pattern as to when I actually get the scenes in my head. Is this a form of precogniton, or something else? The most recent case was about a week ago, and that was the 30-second record, where the scene popped into my head and then immediately after, the episode aired. --Kiwi 17:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
