The other day, in the Shoutbox, I mentioned flashes of insight that I cannot distinguish from regular mental "noise". This example happened yesterday-today.
At times, I write (untalented) short fiction pieces. This leads me to imagine situations and characters that might lead to a viable story.
Yesterday, I idly thought about a character with a sort of slapstick style name ... Zeeg Hyall. The character's name, of course, is a play on the German wartime greeting "Sieg Heil".
Okay, way over the top and probably nothing that would lead to a remotely entertaining short story.
But here's the thing. So, I imagine that yesterday, and what do I see in the "news" this morning ?

I mean ... really ? What are the odds ? Was this a bit of precognition or is Lady Synchronicity merely laughing at me ?
And then, for me, there is again the "so what ?" factor. Even if it was precognition and I recognized it as such ... so what ? Maybe if I could regularly realize I am "tuning" into something ... but unfortunately I'm only getting more scatter brained as I get older.
Can you remember what you where doing at the time and how long for? Like where you doing a repetitive task, or something you have done many times before. Or making coffee like a in-between action.
So with precognition it's often just mundane stuff and can appear in art and that makes total sense once you look at remote viewing training and free-association/somatic free writing and kinesthetic association etc. There is a book on NLP that I can raid for exercises. Writing down random stuff that pops into your head while working on a story is exactly how it would surface.
You have to switch off your analytical mind but once you know how to do something like I mentioned above you become aware and hence analytical. The way to get around that conundrum is to go with inspiration, have fun and make it a habit so you don't have to think about what you are doing.
If it's Lady Synchronicity she will probably be with you through the whole story and you also recognize synchronicity when it happens and interpret it as a message or whatever you are doing..
With precognition you don't realize what's happening at that moment but I do believe there are tells that you can learn, but you need to record the experience and that includes what your mood was any other perceptions, the ambiance of the moment when you had the vision or wrote whatever you did down on paper. Any form of art should work in theory.
