Meena Asks:
Hi Lucid,
I have had a few experiences with things that I saw and wished I hadn’t! I use to live on Long Island, which is in NY. Every Saturday my brother in law, and some friends and my sisters or sister would go to what was know as Islip Speedway. It was a race track and they did demolition derby’s, figure 8’s and of course they did laps around the track.

We all loved going every week, it was exciting and ohhh so noisy! Well, this one night they were doing practice laps… they were having midget cars that evening. We used to go early so we could look around and get good seats.

As they were speeding around I visualized seeing something and I was so upset I didn’t know what to do about it? I saw the cars running around and at the 3rd turn going towards the finish line there was a horrible accident!

Five minutes later, some how the little car ended on his back wheels and bounced like a ball and it bounced so high it did a complete tumble and flew over the fence crashing into a 21 year old young man. The whole place was horrified!

When you see something like that what are you supposed to do? I was hysterical, I felt helpless. What good was it to see that and not be able to do anything about it?

Thank you for the chance to be able to write in to you, I never really had anyone to talk to about these type of things. I thought maybe I was nuts at first. I have seen other things but not for a long time now.

I can see you put a lot of time and effort into the answers you give back. I hope your site becomes a big success! I will leave a “Tip” for you hopefully others are as well.

Sincerely,
Meena

Lucid’s Thoughts:
Hi Meena, thanks for sharing your experience with us. You have two questions in here for me. Let me start with the second one first.

What good is it to see an event if your not able to do anything about it? Just because we are shown a premonition does not always mean it was meant to be stopped. This can be a hard concept to accept. We figure since we are being shown a vision or thought, it is our place or responsibility to stop it, and when we don’t/can’t we feel guilty/bad.

It is normal to have sadness, or a feeling of being helpless when something bad or tragic  takes place that could not be avoided/stopped. It is the humane-sympathetic part of us that wants the world and the people in it, to feel no pain or suffering.

Your second question: what are you suppose to do if you see something, or sense something is about to happen? The answer is, it depends on the individual situation. It is unlikely that you will know in advance whether the event can be stopped, but if you have the opportunity to mention it or take action safely, then attempt it. I say safely, because not everyone is prepared, or ready to accept the fact that something bad may happen.

Often times people are ridiculed for knowing such things in advanced. They may even think you had a part in the planning of such an event.

Example: You are at a supermarket, and you envision a jar fall from the top shelf, which slams a lady in her head. You try to tell her what you saw, and that she should move. When she doesn’t, and the jar hits her, she may believe you put in at the edge of the shelf as a gag.

My best advice would be to use caution, and listen to your gut; it is usually correct.

P.S. Thank you in advance for your Tip :) Cup of Coffee!
