1) That winning card is the next hand on a high frequency. Based on observation...just because you think they're out to get you mean doesn't mean your paranoid. Of course it was the next hand!!!

2) My instant premonitions can happen at any time. My life-time reflection is that they occur when I'm most receptive-when my mind is uncluttered or often when I'm really tired. When I focus too much on winning I can't seem to get into a "zone". But, when I'm in the zone...man its fun!!
3) My repetitive dreams often have no meaning at the time. I became more aware of them in junior high and high school. In 1965 for 6-7 months I kept having almost nightmares of my family on a trip, in a strange black car, in a strange mountain location (yeah, I'd never been to the mountains - like a hill in flat Houston is a mountain) almost being killed in a car accident . In July of that summer, I came home from a Boy Scout Camp and my parents who never traveled announced we were leaving the next week for a trip to Florida, New York to visit relatives I've never met and then back to Fort Benning Ga, to see my brother off before heading to Vietnam. As we were driving the brand new black Ford station wagon (we got the week after I got home from camp) in the New York mountains we were almost broadsided. Since then I've had dozens of dreams that have become a deja vu moments.
4) My mom was highly receptive to premonitions and dreams. She often had strong feelings when something was going to happen especially to family members. I remember being 6-7 years old and my mom telling my dad something was bothering her because her uncle Royce (1 of 7) was on her mind. I won't forget since we only had a radio. The next day or two we heard of a huge tanker truck accident in Houston. The news kept reporting the attempts to get to the driver as the truck burned. Later we learned Uncle Royce had been burned alive in the tanker. I thought about that when I got older as I became more receptive. My mental/emotional connection with my youngest daughter is so strong its incredible. My older sister had similar abilities but my older brother wasn't receptive and refused to accept the ability due to his religious beliefs. My younger brother doesn't say much but I suspect he has the receptiveness as well. He was very close to mom as I was since we were both born many years apart and years after our older siblings.
5) I can't explain it, I think because of mom I just have learned to be more receptive than most people. My dad who was brilliant and had an incredible mind often discussed with me the power of our minds. When he died of a heart attack, we found he had written long instructions to my mom and paid all the bills. The night before he passed away, he told my uncle it would be last time they would be together, he told me not to come by to see him the next morning as I often did but to go straight to work. He passed away around the time I would have been with him. When we talked to his cardiologist, he told us he had told my dad when he first came to him he would give him two years to live. He died two years to the month he first went to the cardiologist. The mind is an incredible organ and I don't think any of truly know the powers we could possess.
