A premonition of death?

    A curious event. If in fact the earlier blog entry and the following tragic event are somehow linked, rather than mere coincidence, then would this be an argument that someone could use for premonition?

    Going beyond anecdotal cases to the concept of premonition in general, is it clearly defined or problematic? For example, is premonition merely a sensitivity to things that might happen based upon preconditions, or is it suggested that premonition is in fact seeing into a future that is pre-determined (i.e., predestination)?

    This reminds me of script from the film, "Lawrence of Arabia," starring Peter O'Toole. When someone was lost during a desert crossing, a person in Lawrence's party proclaimed "It was written" for that person to die. Lawrence said "Nothing is written!" and went back to save this person, only to excute him shortly after for a crime. It was then reaffirmed that it had been "written" and only delayed by Lawrence's actions. Besides the film, there is a similar account of this event in the book T.E. Lawrence wrote called Seven Pillars of Wisdom (an interesting book that is written in a style somewhat like Hemingway).

    She was on MySpace and had her own blog-a really good one as well.

    But it's the February entry that's unusual. She writes about a disturbing dream that she had-the kind of one that follows you around all day.

    I think sometimes people do know that something is going to happen to them, even if it's just a dream or a "strange feeling".

    My grandmother often tells the story about my grandfather. To me it's one of the most romantic things I've ever heard.

    He had taken my grandmother aside and told her that he wished he was 10 years younger so he could live 10 more years with her, and then he gave her an evelope with money in it and said it was for her birthday (which wasn't for 3 more months). She wanted to know why he gave it to her then but he said for her to just hold on to it and to get herself something from him when it was her birthday.

    A week later he died quite suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack.
