Waking up before your alarm and Presentiment

[Alejo]

I thought that was very appropriate. When I used to make 24-hour shifts in the deep Spanish countryside, normally I would be on call in the health center. In a good shift, you could sleep all night. In high season, you would be lucky if you slept a couple of hours. Regardless of the tiredness, I would usually wake up before the phone rang with an incoming emergency during the night. Like I would sense that someone was deciding to call at that moment for their emergency and as the phone rang, I was already waiting for it. It's really less traumatizing that way.

Yes, that's probably the other side of that puzzle that I found really interesting, I think he explained it with the example of the fire fighter that would wake up seconds before the alarm would go off, and the experiment with the electrodermal measurements with the randomized pictures, because I've experienced the unexpected out of regular cycle awakenings, specially during stormy nights, right before thunder claps, I wake up to witness it happen awake.

Because on the one hand, the regular cycles and circadian rhythms of your body, as well as routine, can probably explain waking up before your alarm goes off, maybe even as an adaptive response to stress, in order to avoid the stress of horrible alarms, you'd adapt to wake up before them, provided you have a regular enough schedule. But the unexpected events that you still wake up before, those are interesting.

But the unexpected events that you still wake up before, those are interesting.

Or "expected"? For instance, it would happen when I knew at some level that "I was it". I've been part of larger emergency networks, where if they can't get a hold of you, well, there's someone else. Or for calls when a 4 hours delay response is acceptable. Yeah, I think I've missed a few of those. Didn't hear the phone, even at the loudest volume.

The deep countryside was different. Whether car accident, crazy person, epilepsy, heart attack, etc. They call you and you're it. It's not possible to miss those calls, your awareness would simply not allow it. And so is palliative care for the end stage of life when there's already agonic breathing. You're all they've got kind of feeling.

I wake up before my alarm clock pretty much every day, even if I change it. It's a lot easier to notice waking up than a subconscious "alarm" during the day. But obviously instruments can detect it as the article showed. Now I'm wondering if precognition of that sort is happening to us constantly, and it's just a matter of noticing it. I wonder if there's some kind of device that we could wear that can detect those subtle physiological changes and would send some kind of alert (outside of a lab setting)? Then we can track it and see how many of them were precognitive (rather than reactions to things), and maybe eventually train ourselves to notice it consciously when it happens?

Fluffy got the main parts of the article. It ends with:


“Some people hypothesize that precognition is your brain entangled with itself in the future, because entanglement is not only things separated in space, but also separated in time,” he explains. “If it can be entangled with itself in the future, in the present you’d be feeling something like a memory that is going to happen in the future.”

It's funny the phrased it this way, because it's pretty much how the C's described it:

Q: (L) Does a person carry within their soul pattern memories of every single incident, event or happening that has ever occurred to them throughout all realms of their experience?
A: Memories are imprint of "Past, Present and Future."
Q: (L) So, if the imprint is there... (J) "We are you in the future!" (L) Right, so if the imprint is there, and no outside force including Lizzies or Orions can...
A: You can remember us.

Another thing - I wonder how many accidents, potentially fatal ones, are averted because of this kind of precognitive alarm? And how many bad decisions or "accidents" still happen despite the subconscious signal simply because we still didn't react correctly?

The C's said:

Q: (L) Okay, the first question I have is that I have been contacted by this guy named Armando. His son died. The son was born on August 10, 1996, and died on October 7, 2011 in Santa Barbara, California. Now, he has some questions, and I'm making an exception to ask these questions for him because he's really quite distraught. So, his first question - and I'm gonna try to help out with these questions - as he wrote it is, "Did his son decide to go to the contemplation zone, or did he decide to stay here?"
A: It would not be a good thing to be earth bound. Sergio was confused for a bit, but his father's questions enabled him to move on.
Q: (L) Okay. His father asks, "Is there anything I can do to help him?"
A: His father is not in a position to help in any other way than to release and accept his son's choice.
Q: (L) Are you saying that his son chose to leave?
A: At one level, yes.
Q: (L) But it was a terrible accident. I mean, how can you choose by an accident?
A: At the level of the soul the decision is made to withdraw the awareness that normally prevents such occurrences.
Q: (L) So you're saying that when accidents happen, that at some level even if the specific accident isn't engineered or set up, that the soul can make a choice to withdraw the acute awareness of reality that permits an accident to be more possible or probable? Is that it?
A: Yes.

Also this whole "remembering the future" reminds me of the premise of the web-bot project. We receive all kinds of subconscious signals, which change our words/behavior enough to be noticed statistically by someone else, but not enough for us to notice the signal as it happens. There's gotta be a way to practice noticing it!

My girlfriend has a story where she was a passenger in the back seat of a car with multiple people in the car, and right before they crossed an intersection she yelled STOP, the driver stopped, and a car/truck just barreled through the intersection despite having a red light on their side, which would've hit them from the side if they didn't stop. There was no way to see it ahead of time as the other road was obscured by objects, and to this day she can't explain how she could've known, or what compelled her to yell "stop!". It was odd enough that everyone in the car was calling her a witch (semi jokingly) and trying to figure out how she could've known.

I follow Rupert Sheldrake on Substack, and just in case you may have not seen it, I found the following article rather interesting and thought provoking.

Thank you for linking this article @Alejo - I'd seen it and thought , "Ha, that looks in interesting, I'll get to reading that soon". Of course, I then forgot about it, so I don't know what that suggests about my ability to set an intention... Anyhoo, I've now read it, so thank you.

I'm definitely in that category of people that ordinarily wake-up before an alarm; something I've always just put down to a 'well-trained' body clock. Being woken up by my alarm is an exception and usually only happens if, for whatever reason, I've had a crappy night's sleep. I would say, though, that despite my consistency with this, I still don't have the acorns to not set an alarm (just in case).
Annoyingly, actually, my body doesn't seem to want to take a break from its routine when I'm on holiday from work - I'll still wake at my normal time, even if I've gone to bed later the night before. So, grudgingly, I've had to admit that Matt Walker is right: "Regularity is King" for quality sleep.

But the unexpected events that you still wake up before, those are interesting.

Or "expected"? For instance, it would happen when I knew at some level that "I was it"

I do find this to be an interesting phenomenon, which I've had some experience of.
Some years ago I was working in a residential care home for children, a job which frequently involved 'sleep in' night shifts. I used to dread doing these shifts because I knew there was a good chance that I was in for a rough night. I lost count of the number of times that I woke up in the night to silence in the house only for some big 'incident' to kick-off a few minutes later, which is perhaps similar to @Gaby's experience.

I often wake up before my alarm goes off and also wake up when I hear the tinest ping before the alarm goes off. I am a very light sleeper. I have practised the intentional waking method and it works beautifully as long as it is imprinted strongly enough. I have two alarm clocks set for slightly different times, one of which is some distance from my reach. I have an abhorrence of being late for anything.
