I’ve had similar experiences,...not the same specifics.

From what I’ve studied, and learning through Scripture, placing God as the best source for veracity, I’m led to observe such things are spiritual in nature.

They then ed to be discerned. Could be 3 conditions. Deception, Divine guidance, or familiar spirits.

Familiar spirits and consorting with them is shunned in Scripture. Deception is inevitable in our lives. God provides.

I had a great great aunt who had premonitions and dreams. God would show her how different people would die. Family members always thought she was batty, but one year when she was elderly, she attended a wedding for her great niece.

At the wedding reception, she started to cause a ruckus. It seemed she had had a reoccurring dream wherein she had seen a man in his last dieing moments, descending into the ocean, looking up and seeing the sky, and drowning. She became aware at the wedding reception that the groom was the man in her dream and the newlyweds were planning a honeymoon the follow weekend to go on a Caribbean cruise.

She became adamant that they not go near the water and they had to cancel their cruise. Niagara Falls was out, and so was the cruise. After a long discussion, and quite the ruckus, the newlyweds wanted to calm down the octogenarian and assure her they weren’t in danger, and would abide by her wishes.

Later in the week, the new groom met with his friends for their weekly 2 hour poker game. At the game they discussed many things, future plans, possible outings, and one came up on the idea of the group going out that weekend to go deep sea fishing. The idea took hold and the whole crew jumped in to charter a boat and go deep sea fishing that weekend.

The young groom declined, lamenting that if he went to sea, after promising not to go on their honeymoon cruise, he’d never hear the end of it, but he had to remain true to his word and couldn’t accompany his friends. They understood, and one of his buddies who wanted to go deep sea fishing couldn’t, because of his shift that weekend with the volunteer fire department. So they agreed to trade shifts, keeping the newlywed out of mischief and allowing his buddy to go out fishing.

That weekend, the newlywed served his shift and was a first responder to a call from the petrochemical plant to put out a shipboard fire, that had spread to a loading dock from some smoldering ammonium nitrate aboard ship.

After several minutes at the scene, the Grandcamp exploded. The firefighter wasn’t found, but about 3 weeks later, his body washed ashore, only identifiable by dental records. It seemed he had been blown out to see by what is now known as the Great Texas City Explosion in 1947, and it is likely that when he struck the water, he may have still been conscious, but shocked and unable to move, sinking as he passed away.

Seems as though when it’s your time to go, there isn’t anything you can do to avoid it. If you attempt to avoid the Angel of Death, you might just reroute yourself into his path.

My Mother would dream of “Muddy water” and within a day or so someone in the family would become sick or suffer an injury. Never failed.

As many here know I am not religious in the least and am in fact a atheist. But some things just make One wonder.
