Some people have the ability to dream about things which may later become true. These  dreams are called premonitions. Premonitions can vary in detail, importance and severity.

There aren't that many people who can actually have premonitions and most of these  people won't have any major premonitions. Some people can dream about a day they might have in the future which may only involve simple day to day tasks. The reason for these 'normal, day to day' premonitions may just be because of a set routine. If you have a set routine every day it's very easy to predict what may happen in one of the future days in your life. Some people don't even remember having premonitions until the day these premonitions become true and even then people associate their strange gut feelings about the day to deja vu.

However some premonitions  can be more severe and can even predict major tragedies. Many people don't listen to these premonitions and they just put them to the back of their heads and try to forget about them. However people react differently and some people even try and warn others about these premonitions however some people aren't as open to these ideas as others. After all the idea of being able to predict the future sounds pretty crazy.

Although this may be a sensitive topic I think it is important to talk about how people bad premonitions about 9/11, months before the attack. Some of the families of the victims recall how before the major tragedy the victims talked to them about a 'crazy dream/nightmare' they had which involved similarities with the 9/11 attack. However of course they didn't believe that this would actually happen and they just referred to it as a 'bad nightmare'. And of course the families would have just believed it was a nightmare until the tragedy struck.

Another important premonition I would like to talk about is Abraham Lincoln dreamt of his assassination. Before his assassination Abraham Lincoln shared the vivid 'dream' he had about being assassinated and like most people he just thought it was a terrible nightmare and didn't believe that this 'nightmare' would actually happen in real life. This is not a very uncommon situation and quite a few people have actually had premonitions about how they will die. However sometimes people can have false premonitions and these things won't actually happen.

False premonitions are more common than real premonitions. This is obviously due to the fact that of course everything that you dream isn't going to actually happen in real life. People who are more susceptible to false premonition actually include those who had real premonitions. This is because if they have one real premonition they might start to believe that everything that happens in their dreams might become true.
