I hope this makes some sense. I just got in from a long walk and weed smoking session and I tried my best to be practical in my conveyances.

Everyone has dreams that seemingly come true, thought's of improbably things come true and that: HA! I knew that gonna happen moment on seemingly abstract things. But in the many years, days, minutes, seconds.. the probability of highly improbable things happening sometimes - is probable.
I agree that the improbable is to be expected, but ambiguously saying that something improbable is going to happen is a lot different than knowing the specific details of those events with uncanny accuracy. I don't know how most sham psychics-for-hire describe things to people - and I'm guessing they keep things intentionally vague or say things that could apply to anyone - but the predictions that I've experienced in my personal life are too impossible to just write off as some statistical inevitability.
I do a lot of journaling of my day to day world, and of my dream world, for the very reason that for a long time I need undeniable proof that I'm not crazy. The whole "look, I wrote this weeks ago and now it's happening" aspect is so nice to have sometimes. But also, psychic potential is very tied to the unconscious, which means the source of its predictive mechanisms are hard to understand, as I will explain shortly.
My
spiritual understanding is that this is all one big illusion, and it's capable of producing anything. So not a lot shocks me anymore.

I have had MANY dreams that have seemingly come true.. although admittedly a lot of the times it's happened i have only remembered the dream after the event occurring leading to a: ! I dreamed this!
The most recent one was the other night, actually. I dreamt of a huge meteorite shower. I still picture id vividly (was fckin beautiful).. But the best one was the one that exploded. It looked a bit like a firework. I wake up in the morning and one of the first things on my facebook was a video from a group i am a member of.. Of a meteorite exploding.
When psychic premonitions come true it is nothing more than statistical coincidence. I have 1000's of thoughts a day.. some about what I'm doing, some about things I've done, and some about things that haven't happened (such as random scenarios involving anything from a fight between friends or a dog getting hit by a car).. some more vivid than others but i bet they become a lot more vivid AFTER the real world even happens. Sometimes the improbability of whatever the thought or real world event makes it seem that it was the result of something other than coincidences.. Happens to everyone..
You're attempting to downplay psychic premonitions as mere logical deductions of future probabilities. I *also* engage in such logical deductions, all the time. That's just part of being a rational planner. Sometimes they help me to fill in the missing pieces of what the psychic premonition told me, while other times I only have the premonition itself to go on. Also keep in mind that what you've written seems to be a reflection of *your* life. Don't assume that just because your life operates that way that other people follow an identical pattern.
Re: dreams. Yes sometimes deja vus and the like are just confirmation bias. However, I have also written down some of these dreams years before they actually transpired, so the knowledge cannot possibly be an
ex post facto event.
Your example of the meteorites is interesting. The word "coincidence" is so meaningless, it's a platitude. You don't really know why that connection occurred anymore than I do. Saying it's just a coincidence is no more or less a platitude than me saying you had some kind of divine psychic connection to the events transpiring. I suppose in this instance, I am more baffled by your certainty than anything else. I would just find it amusing and rule it a mystery, much like all of the other connections that happen in my life.

It's just that some people seem to think it doesn't.. and it's a trait of being psychic.. It's these people that tend to focus a lot more when a previous thought matches an actual event, making much more of a big deal out of it than it actually is. You said yourself you can't just turn it off and on. Then how do you differentiate between normal thought and psychic thought? It's also very highly probably (as this affect has been proven) that once the real world event happens, the psychics memory of the premonition warps (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot) as to make it fit. Or indeed, the brain may even completely make up a memory of the premonition.. where the was none. (A bit of a deja vu affect going on)..
Well, you seem to be honing in on the temporal causality side of "psychic" and critically analyzing it when no one really prompted that aspect of the discussion. I think inexplicable synchronicity of events is something that all humans experience whether they are psychic or not, and it's not particularly meaningful to our discussion about differing psychic abilities. I suppose some psychics might better understand the way the strings are being pulled in our lives, but nonetheless they are still part of the same system as everyone else and are thus subject to some degree of mystery.

I am honestly interested to know more about the auras you see. Does each person have a different colour? Do different personality types share the same colour? Does it change with mood or health?
Most humans fall in the same predictable range of aura colours. Rarely does anyone have one single colour. There are usually a variety of them happening. Unlike shoddy aura diagrams drawn by new age people, auras are actually dynamic, moving bio-energetic systems. Various moods, environments, stimuli, events, etc. can alter the aura. More important than the colour is the geometry. There are very few people out there who have wide, expansive auras. Most people have auras relatively close to their bodies, and in varying states of misfortune, especially in urban areas.
I can tell when someone's lying, if they have an injury or are in pain and precisely where it is; I can tell if they are angry, sad, depressed, joyful, etc. just by looking at their aura. Of course, I
feel this before I even look for the aura, because my empathic ability is way stronger than my aura ability. I can't deal with large groups of people for this reason... the collective mish mash of people's feelings makes most social situations incredibly awkward for me. I can deal with one, maybe two people simultaneously. Anything more and I need to be mega grounded before I set foot near that. Giving presentations in school was a nightmare because all those people's intention focused on me and their auras flying at me was a trip and a half.
I can see where people are in complete darkness because their aura is also emanating, thus precluding phosphenism (which requires a light source most of the time). I can tell if people are romantically involved by their auras joining; if they've had a fight there are boundaries between them, and if someone won the fight or is dominating the other person, the aura tends to wrap around the other person. In friendships and relatonships, you can tell where people's specific boundaries are based on where their auras blend together and where they stay separate. Someone experiencing an intense panic attack will have an aura going way above their head, but there will be little at the feet; it looks as though they are partially leaving their body energetically, and thus I correctly deducted that grabbing their feet will bring them back. I now know from learning eastern medicine and qi gong that the kidney channel opens to the sole of the feet and if you press hard on the KI-1 point, the person will experience instant grounding.
Health people's auras tend to be full-bodied and bright. Someone on the decline will have more dull colours. People with high spiritual attainment tend to have huge auras that shimmer (like how sunlight looks on the water). They have a "mirror" aspect to their aura, beyond the colour. The auras of highest attainment are mirror gold. These people are so heavenly to be around. They make you feel good and you don't know why.
What else can I tell you.... well, I'm not sure. Ask more questions?
I have always seen auras from the time I was born. It's probably why I can also see ghosts and what not, though I prefer not to see that aspect of things as I mentioned before. Plant auras are also another interesting area of study. I love observing living auras in nature.
My gifts as a healer developed primarily from this aura vision. I use it for diagnosis. It has taken a lifetime of figuring out what different auras mean because I've had no one to teach me, and books about the subject are usually written by people who don't see auras. Every now and that I meet someone who also has aura vision. We compare notes, and have similar conclusions. It's always fun to go observing auras with others who can see them because it's very life affirming. I've done all kinds of logical experiments with others who see auras and I'm way, way past the point of "are they real or not". They're real, and convey real information. My assumption is that they are the bio-electric field (which science already knows about), but some people are somehow able to view that spectrum of light. I can also see into the ultraviolet spectrum, btw. Infrared is difficult for me, but I've done it. People who are incredibly grounded individuals have way more red in their aura, and I'm not the greatest at spotting that wavelength of red; but I've met people who see it effortlessly. These people have boundaries like fort-knox and nothing really phases them. They also have a lot of power over other people, if they choose to use it that way.

I'd say it's more likely to be an environmental factor. Like i mentioned at beginning of post "psychic abilities" are nothing but the normal human psyche working away as it does.
It's not "nothing more", and I don't appreciate the dismissive attitude. You seem curious yet simultaneously in denial. It's weird. I'm open to talking about my experiences, it's just odd that you want to know yet at the same time don't want to know. Just make up your mind? We don't even have to talk about whether or not it's real. Just entertain the discussion. It's all theoretical anyway, since you have your reality and I have mine.
I'm not claiming that I'm special or superhuman, or that I've got the one-up on others. There have been time when I *haven't* wanted this. It's annoying to have insight into things that others don't, and yet not be heard about it because you don't have a logical, scientific explanation. But people always learn, when they know me, to eventually take my advice, and not to ignore my sense of timing. They ignore my non-scientific cautions for a time, until enough instance have transpired that they start to listen to my "weird knowings". It's just a different availability of data about my world that other people don't seem to have. It has practical value to me, otherwise I wouldn't care. I don't really think I'm special... this is all just oneness. I'm no one and nothing, TBH.

Honestly I'd love it if psychic abilities exist. I really do want to see some undeniable evidence for it's existence. To be honest psychic ability is one of the paranormal things that I don't find to be COMPLETELY impossible.. but not as most people use the word psychic.. For example I don't believe anyone can see the future.. If one could see the future, they could change the future, making their premonition untrue as being the future.. I've spoken to people who claim to be able to see the future (as you may be one of them) but they all say the same thing.. they are only shown 1 possible future or 1 path of the future.. I'm like.. ok.. Everyone does that.. one of my possible futures is that I get addicted to heroin and eventually OD, one is that I get lung cancer but manage to fight it quite effectively after i turn to heavy use of CBD treatment.. That is not a psychic mind tapping into a possible future. It's nothing more than a day dream / random thought.
The word "psychic" is indeed problematic. There is so much baggage attached to it. But I really don't know what else to call myself that has enough common parlance that people will be prompted to talk about it. I've referred to myself as a "sensitive" before, but that's not really accurate either. I'm not more sensitive than someone else, it's just my spectrum of awareness is shifted a bit to the right (or left, or whatever).
I agree about future predictions. I find them incredibly haphazard and to this day I have no real control over what I receive. I've received the most utterly mundane future predictions imagineable. Most recently, I was making food in my kitchen when suddenly I found myself imagining talking to a woman with short blonde hair, cropped around her face. She was handing me a green bag with non-discernable writing on it. Inside was various food. This ending up being a cashier at a new grocery store I tried out while visiting the other side of town. I mean, wtf was the point of that, universe? It's not like it was some earth shattering revelation. It's like... thank you, you told me I was going to get groceries, except without really giving me proper context. This happens to me all the time.
Sometimes though the predictions are highly useful. Like... we should not go camping this weekend because there is going to be a landslide on the highway and we will drive 3 hours only to have to turn around when access is impossible. Bada-bing, bada-boom. I also seem to have this uncanny sense of timing that prevents me from ending up in hellish situations, or dangerous ones. It's all very unconscious.
At this point the only thing I can conclude from all of these visions is that somehow our conventional interpretation of time is wrong. Either that, or with the addition of certain perceptual abilities, time becomes non-linear. In a lot of vedic text they talk about the third eye being able to see through duality, and thus outside of time. Maybe that's all that's happening. According to temporal mechanics, visiting the future is a mathematical possibility, but visiting the past is not. Thus I conclude that my ability to sense the history of objects (psychometry, a.k.a the "patina effect") is due to some kind of resonance of a past event that lingers, and thus retains information... because a literal visiting of the past is impossible. The past must therefore be some kind of residue only, whereas the future is pure potential and thus accessible.

You said yourself psychics can't control when it comes and when it goes, etc.. Knowing that.. How can you still sit there and tell me some of them aren't fake? Call any psychic right now and they will not be like: nah sorry it's not working at the moment can you call back later. They will all do their usual bullshit. It's funny how psychics that charge for your custom only even say that they are having a bad day when they are getting misses.. even though they are attempting the reading in the first place.. don't they know what thoughts are genuine psychic thoughts and what thoughts are just well.. thoughts?
Well, there are days when I'm more attuned and days when I'm not. If I'm stressed, malnourished, stagnant (haven't exercised), or if I haven't engaged in any spiritual activities to make the energy go upward recently, then my psychic ability is not as even keel. If I've recently done a psychedelic, especially LSD, then my abilities are off the scale and would certainly be scientifically significant. But yeah, we can't control what we receive. If we could, I would be the next lottery winner.
I started the quotes thread in P&S with a quote by Houdini. I think it sums up your conundrum succinctly. There is a natural magic that the universe produces which I believe some psychics take advantage of. They take these happenstances and work them into the act. But a real psychic doesn't need to do that. If you just sit down in front of them, your very presence emanates information in various forms. The psychic may receive that data in random ways, but they are receiving it nonetheless.
There is also the fact that there are psychics with raw talent but whom have done zero honing. These people can end up in the business but their success rate is not high. Maybe after years of work they become more attuned to the way their own gifts operate, but some just don't care.

Ah but there are ways to prove it.. Get a bunch of psychic volunteers and an equal number of sceptic volunteers. They all write down as many dreams as they can remember, and strange thoughts that they may have about the near or far future, and any psychic / coincidental experiences that they have. The psychics could sit down and honestly come up with a list of things that they would consider to be a sign of the psychic ability.. whether they sing a song just before it comes on the radio or 2 friends say the same thing at the same time, etc, etc
I don't operate well in the presence of skeptics. I'm an acupuncturist and a lot of people think it's quack medicine. When I get a skeptic as a patient, I get nervous because their energy really shuts down openness, and flow. A friend of mine has iron-clad boundaries and is super grounded. She could probably deal with any skeptic, but I'm more sensitive. You have to realize that my physical life experience has also been very rejecting. I was bullied a lot as a teenager, and I find many human beings to be difficult to deal with. I'm an INFJ, the most introverted. I don't like conflict... it is painful to endure, even when simply sensing it. For me to deal with a rigid skeptic who is scrutinizing my existence would be near impossible. I can't speak for other psychics. I just can't do it. The world has come down on me enough over the years, I won't put myself into an abusive situation.
There's that, and the idea of me sitting down for a formal psychic session is just weird. My abilities have always been go-with-the-flow. It's a creative, non-linear process. I don't often subject it to logic unless I'm trying to figure out what just happened. As far as I can tell, left-brained ideology and semantics don't work well with this. At least, that's not how my abilities work. I don't receive words, I receive images and knowings that are not attached to verbal explanations. The logical side is applied after the fact in order to try and deduce what the message is about. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't, or sometimes I learn what the message is once it has happened. There is really no formula here.
If you want to know more about energetic anatomy and physiology, I highly recommend this tome:
http://www.qigongmedicine.com/medical-qigong-books/
It's the only book in the history of books that succinctly describes energy dynamics the way I've seen and used them, all while relying on ancient texts. No new age koolaid, just direct translation, with cool photos from books some thousands of years old. I've gone through so many useless books over the years trying to find someone who could expain it. Turns out the Chinese did it like, 2000 years ago, and the Indians too to some extent. There's even a whole section on auras and the energetic explanation for their existence. The ancient world knew what was what, and in modern China people are still using this understanding. So while in the west we bicker over whether or not auras are scientifically real, they're using them in medicine elsewhere.
I share all this knowledge with you openly, in the hope that you go exploring and find some mind expanding details you never expected. I love the mysteries of existence and I never get tired of learning about them!

But again you dream about all sorts of shit every night.. It's only when something happens that relates to your dream that you remember it.. making it seem like a premonition of the future.. When all it really is is you happened to dream of a scenario (again, you dream of many, every night) that in a round about way happens..
