A couple of times a year, Melissa visits her family in our old neighborhood where we lived for the first eleven years of our daughter\u2019s life. Melissa, who is ten or eleven years older than Megan, used to babysit for her.<\/p>\n<p>Today, she lives in Manhattan with her husband, Jon, a videographer, and their very old cat, Star, and is an avid chronicler of how the weird and the strange \u2013 synchronicity, spirit contact, the paranormal \u2013 manifests itself in her life. So when Melissa tells me a story, I listen closely.<\/p>\n<p>We met for lunch shortly after Christmas, at our favorite spot, the Macaroni Grill. The place was empty, so we got a great booth at the back of the restaurant. Melissa doesn\u2019t waste time; she immediately launched into her \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sensing-Future-Intuition-Universe-Predict\/dp\/1624143342\">sensing the future<\/a>\u201d story.<\/p>\n<p>On Christmas, she and her family \u2013 parents, her three brothers and a sister, were sitting out in the yard, sipping champagne while her dad was trying to fly a drone he got for Christmas.\u00a0 They live on a lake, so there\u2019s plenty of space to play around with a drone. But her dad, she says, didn\u2019t know what he was doing. As she sipped from her glass, she felt a sudden certainty that the drone was going to hit her glass of champagne.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a gut certainty,\u201d she said. \u201cI <em>knew<\/em> it was going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She quickly set her glass down on the table and just seconds later, the drone struck her glass, shattering it.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, this isn\u2019t a sweeping precognition that ripples out through the larger world and changes events, belief systems. But it rippled through Melissa\u2019s personal world so that she sat there, staring at the shattered glass, thinking, <em>OMG, I knew this was going to happen. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>This kind of precognition beautifully illustrates how precognition works on even the most mundane levels in our lives. We might have a sudden impulse to do something we\u2019ve never done before &#8211; take a different route to work, try a food we\u2019ve never sampled before, talk to a stranger &#8211; and a new world suddenly opens to us. We have come face to face with our own ability to sense the future.<\/p>\n<p>The larger question here, I think, is what do we do with this knowledge, this realization?<\/p>\n<p>Nearly seventeen years ago, in June 2000, I returned home, exhausted, from a writers\u2019 conference. In the early morning hours, I dreamed I was conducting my workshop and someone at the conference handed me a Post-It with a message on it: <em>You just got a call that your mother has died. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>At the time, my mother \u2013 Rose Marie &#8211; had been in an Alzheimer\u2019s facility for more than two years, my dad was living with us, and our daughter was sleeping in the living room because she\u2019d given up her bedroom to her granddad. The dream scared me. I walked out into the kitchen, where my dad and Rob were sitting, and told them my dream.<\/p>\n<p>My dad went pale. \u201cI was just telling Rob that last night I dreamed that Rose Marie died.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And several weeks later, she did.<\/p>\n<p>From the mundane to the profound: that\u2019s how precognition works. You can sometimes summon a precognition, create an inner climate that is conducive to it. But usually, external circumstances thrust that awareness at you, right in your face. From a drone shattering a glass of champagne to the death of a parent, sensing the future doesn\u2019t seem to have any boundaries or borders, any rules, and only a single piece of advice: <em>pay attention. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Melissa did. And perhaps she avoided cuts to her hands as that glass of champagne shattered.<\/p>\n<p>I paid attention and that precognitive dream helped me to prepare myself emotionally for my mother\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>What are <em>your<\/em> experiences telling you?<\/p>\n<p>HAPPY NEW YEAR!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the wonderful side benefits of the period between Thanksgiving and New Year\u2019s Eve is getting together with old friends.
