Forewarning or nothing?

[donq]

Last night I slept less than 2 hours but decided to drive to somewhere anyway (even it was not a must). Only just 10 km. from home I had to turn my car back because of some things. First, I almost hit a motorbike as it drove in the wrong lane into mine. Secondly, only driving after than for a while, I saw a car accident on the other side of my road. Whether it was a forewarning for me or not was hard to tell. But one thing I knew for sure was that I was not ready to drive in that very condition (because of less sleeping last night.) And I had to drive a long drive.
Anyway, after I had arrived home and slept for an hour or so, I felt better and decided to drive out again. And I drove more than 150 km. without anything (bad) thing happened and came home safety.
If I didn't turn my car back home the first time, would some bad thing happened? Or even a car accident? Though I'm very curious about this but still feel relieve that I didn't dare to try it. hahaha

Hi Monty,

I know some might not agree with my thoughts on this, but I believe it was a forewarning. Having thought a lot about signs from the universe, I believe that it works as a way of prompting intuitive responses from us. Some might say the accidents you saw were simply co-incidence. And you chose to interpret them as something telling you to turn back. That may be true. But my thinking is, that YOU KNEW deep down that you should not really be driving on such little sleep, otherwise you would have seen the accidents, and felt concern for the drivers, but would not have considered yourself at risk. Turning back would not have occurred to you.

You may have been perfectly safe on your drive. Some might say, you could have taken the accidents you saw as a sign to - just slow down - or drive extra carefully. But in your case I believe you interpreted the signs you saw as a confirmation of something you already knew. That is - you really were not alert enough to drive after having such little sleep. And that there was a high chance, that you too might have an accident. I think people ignore these signs and the feelings that accompany them at their peril. I'm glad you turned back.

Can I ask, do you normally have trouble sleeping, and why do you think this is?

Love and light

Wow! You explained it so well, Karen. I like it very much.

And you've got me. Yes, you asked very right question. I normally don't have trouble sleeping. Somehow, last night I still was deciding whether I should go (drive) or not. I meant, it was not so important that I must drive that long drive (150 km.)  First, I was trying to interpret that I could not sleep because it was a bad idea and I should not go? Or I should go, that was why I should not sleep well. hahaha I meant, somethings the good/right thing is always harder to do, right? And I always had a hard time sleeping if I knew I had to do some right/good thing in the next morning. Kind of exciting until robbing my sleeping. :-)

Hi Monty,

Ah that is interesting, you were already worried about this journey. Can I ask why were you in two minds about whether to go or not that night?

It would be interesting wouldn't it, to hear if anyone else has had a premonition or seen signs that made them decide to do something or not. What form did the sign take?

Love and light
