The brain can't process everything about the world around it 24-7. There is just too much data available to it. To help it deal with this fact the brain uses a number of shortcuts to process the information that it has more effectively. One of the major shortcuts is to use pattern matching. It looks for things that happen in a similar way to something that it already knows about. This urge to pattern match is so powerful (and usually so useful) that it is the default position of the brain, and when it records a 'hit' it remembers and celebrates that fact, reinforcing the usefullness of the method. Your brain completely forgets the billions of times it thought there might be a pattern and then didn't find one.
With regards to the Eastenders plot, the pace at which most soap opera plots unfold means that you get a very long lead in to any event, and most of what is going to happen is pretty well signposted for days or weeks ahead of time.
The same pattern matching protocol is why people see the faces of Jesus or Mary in food stuffs. The brain is particularly good at spotting faces as we are a social species and the ability to spot and read faces from the tiniest of clues is a major part of our social cohesivity.
Of course, if you really do think you are psychic then contact the James Randhi foundation. They have an on-going offer of a $1million reward for anyone that can demonstrate psychic or paranormal abilities.
We all are psychic to some degree, because psychic ability is a natural ability, it's our spirits ability within, we have to be completely open to experiences it in many aspects.....in the spirit world these abilities are normal.
Yea this have happened to me too. It's just like you know things before they happen but until you've come to realize it, it actually happened. Mine's are happening from dreams that can come for real. But maybe you're actually seeing things before they happen. My guess is that it's some kind of brain flashback. You've done or have predicted this before, but your brain tells you that this IS going to happen. I dunno. It's just weird. But I'm not saying that youre a physco or anything.
i don't think it's stupid... i'v experienced this before... some even happens through dreams...
so yeah you're a psychic
well im not doubting you completely but coincidences do happen and if there is too many coincidences then of course you can consider that as suspicious
