Phychic or just coincidences?

Question

I've found myself waking up before certain things happen, like a few seconds before the phone rings, someone knocks on the door or someone about to hit me with a pillow to wake me up.

this has happened many times... so what do you think? am i phychic, or is it just a bunch of coincidences?

Answer 1

Coincidence

Answer 2

I think you have very good senses.You can just feel when people are coming toward you.I can feel when people are near me too or when something is gonna happen.

It could very well be Telepathy (mind-to-mind communication).Psychic or not,you obviously have very sharp human senses and that is a very good thing.

Answer 3

no, your not psychic. Actually, there is no such thing as psychic, its fiction. All psychics fall into one of two categories. 1) conmen/magicians. Examples include John Edwards and Sylvia Browne. These people are the real good ones with seemingly very accurate predictions. Actually they are just playing a game called cold reading

2) self-deluded. These people connect unconnected events and coincedence. They justify their predictions to fit the situation. They make thier predictions after the fact and convince themselves that they made the prediction before hand. In reality thier predictions are no better or worse than someone with no psychic abilities.

Look at the statistics and probablities of your guesses before you go labeling yourself a psychic. Chances are you will find that you are really only making intelligent guesses.

As far as waking up, you wake up all the time. You are connecting and remembering all the times you wake up right before something happens and discarding the times you dont. This is called confirmation bias. Its a common human flaw.

Answer 4

You are an aware individual.  You could be subconsciously aware.  Before you can conclude that you are pyschic, be sure that there aren't indicators, like before a cell phone rings radio or TV speakers make funny noises, footsteps before the door dock or pillow attack, etc.

If no indicators, then you're psychic.  If you are, e-mail me, we can try some tests.

Answer 5

a few times, i would say coincidence......... that many times, you might possibly have a bit of psychic in you!!

Answer 6

You could be, buy books about developing your psychic ability and find out for sure. I know I have had phases in my life where I was physhic but they were only a passing phase, or ar least I think so.

Answer 7

No, it is actually very scientific and ur not phsycic , it happens to every one........!

Answer 8

why would someone hit u with a pillow?

Answer 9

believe in yourself and you can do anything (just dont tell others)

Answer 10

It may happen many times, but not nearly as many times as waking up to nothing happening, or not waking up just before a phone or an alarm.  People tend to remember the "hits" and forget the "misses" - particularly when thinking there's something other than coincidence going on.  

Your experiences are easily and mostly certainly explained by coincidence.  They are the very definition of coincidence.

Answer 11

Yes, you're psychic. Go start a Hot line, in fact, I would say you could be quite successful as a T.V. Psychic.

Answer 12

It becomes a numbers game, really.  How many times do you miss or guess wrong?  Numbers can be twisted all sorts of ways.  I did read about a study in England (sorry, no link) where the research took a bunch of so called psychics (spelled correctly, one of my pet peeves as well) and had their friends call.  The psychic had a list of ten or so names to choose from and had to guess which friend was calling.  The phone would ring, they would say its Joe or Bill or something, and then pick up the phone.  They actually did better than random change, significantly better.  

These phenomena are difficult to study because they aren't really repeatable, and they don't occur 100% of the time.  Personally, I do think we can sense the presence of other people, even when they are 1000 miles away picking up the phone to call us.  Work on listening to that 6th sense, you might be able to do some amazing things.

Answer 13

yes, coincidences.

what about all the times you've woken up just before nothing happened?

you are artificially attaching importance to the times when something does happen.

and why can't anyone spell "psychic"? that's my question to you. try pronouncing "phychic" -- slur it just right and people might think you're saying you're a fat chick.

Answer 14

I don't now but it happen to me all my life ,now when certain thank happen to my kid if thy have a problems 600 hundred mill away ,and my mother was lake that to all her life ,and we both had a learn disable ,my grandmother now her son was

Answer 15

psychic. no doubt. you have Regional Recourse Reconciliation.

Answer 16

We are ALL Psychic sweetie, all you have to do is develop it...

Answer 17

sensitive to noise perhaps....or psychic.

Answer 18

How do you know you are fully asleep?  You could be on the edge of sleep.  How do you know these things aren't responsible for the stimulus that awakes you?  It's possible you are a light sleeper and spend a good portion of your sleep time on the edge of consciousness and don't wake up until something catches your attention.  This is a good place to be from a survival perspective.

Answer 19

Yeah, sometimes I wake up before my alarm clock. Sometimes I get hungry before I fix a meal. One time, I even woke up at 10am and I had an appointment with the dentist at 11:30am... I find it to be more than a coincidence...

Seriously, people try to make connections where there really aren't any.  You waking up before the phone rings, you may have woken up regardless of whether or not the phone was about to ring.  You waking up before someone is about you hit you with a pillow, the mere presence of a person being near you might make your subconscious alert that someone is there.

I'm sorry, but I think you're perfectly normal, but perhaps you're wishing you had some special ability and are just trying to make something out of nothing.
