Knowing The Future

I’ve never experienced a predicted dream nor did I have anyone suggest something about my future that actually came true. I don’t believe in trying to find out about my future before it comes to pass because I believe that the future shouldn’t be tampered with. If something is supposed to happen, whether it’s good or bad, it should be left alone to happen. I don’t think people should purposely search for the future. If the future is revealed to someone, then I don’t think it’s wrong for someone to take action but the choice is completely up to the person. Sometimes the future is revealed and may cause someone’s downfall, and other times the future saves someone.
Although I have never had a predicted dream nor have had someone tell me something about my future, I have had many precognitive experiences that I used to think were déjà-vus. For unknown reasons, I would know what would happen exactly or know the exact words someone would say. I wouldn’t know that I could see a glimpse of the future until a key word or action triggered the whole image in my mind. Then I would remember that I had seen this happen or said before and I would be able to know the rest of what is happening or being said. The strange thing is that these precognitive experiences feel like déjà-vus because I feel certain that I already had these same precognitive experiences before but they happen again. It’s a really strange and interesting experience.
I used to have frequent precognitive experiences when I was younger, but not as many now. The first time I experienced a precognitive experience, I was shocked and confused. I didn’t know what to expect so the events that unfolded occurred normally. It felt like I was watching a movie I’ve already memorized because I knew exactly what was going to happen next. I went with the flow of the events and just observed what happen to see if everything happened as I thought they would happen.
After I learned from the experience, I tried something different the next time I experienced a precognitive experience. When I realized I knew what was going to happen before something happen, I tried to change the events that occurred. I interfered with the natural flow of events. Fortunately, nothing bad has ever happened and I didn’t cause a huge change in the events. Knowing the future tempts people to try to have an effect on the events. Even if you only know an insignificant part of the future, you still feel compelled to change a small part. I understand how Macbeth felt although I don’t think I would have made the choice he made that led him to his downfall.
