Presentiment: Waking Before Alarms, Making Millions Through Day Trading

Most people have had the experience of waking soon before an alarm clock goes off and some can even wake before a specified time without an alarm. The usual assumption is that this depends on an exquisitely sensitive time sense, but Rupert argues that it may be explained better in terms of presentiment, or ‘feeling the future’, or even in terms of an ‘extended present’.
We already know that our sense of the present is not a mathematical instant, but has width, and perhaps it widens over ranges of seconds to include portions of the near future, Presentiment is now a well-established phenomenon in laboratory experiments, carried out at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Cornell University and elsewhere, and may be widely distributed among people and non-human animals.
It could play an important part in everyday life, and become especially significant in fast-moving sports like downhill skiing, tennis and ping pong. Some people may make use of this ability in day trading where they make decisions on movements of the markets over very short time periods, sometimes only a few seconds.
Rupert Sheldrake discusses how this ability could potentially be trained, enabling airline pilots and racing drivers to be better prepared for potential accidents, and helping some people to get rich quick - as some day traders already have - by using intuitive abilities that cannot be duplicated by computers.

Dr Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. At Cambridge University, as a Fellow of Clare College, he was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology. As the Rosenheim Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he carried out research on the development of plants and the ageing of cells, and together with Philip Rubery discovered the mechanism of polar auxin transport. In India, he was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, where he helped develop new cropping systems now widely used by farmers. He is the author of more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and his research contributions have been widely recognized by the academic community, earning him a notable h-index for numerous citations. On ResearchGate his Research Interest Score puts him among the top 4% of scientists.

I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.

Once I was a surveyor, and I often worked large construction sites laying out the footings, blocks, and anchor bolts for structural steel to be erected upon. I used blueprints that were sometimes several hundred pages long to perform my job. So sometimes I would dream about the job and future work to be done. Often I would dream there was a mistake on the plans, and I knew just where the mistake was located. Sure enough, I would go to the job site the very next day and voila.... I went directly to the correct place in the blueprints where the wrong dimension resided.

My father taught me how to wake myself up without an alarm when I was a teenager. I just picture the time in my mind, both digital and analog clocks, before I go to sleep. I haven't used an alarm more than a handful of times since, that's about 40 years now. It's really nice to wake up without that annoying sound. Edit: So about six years +/- after I learned how to do this, (that was many years ago now) I was on a flight, and wanted to wake myself up before we landed. And I remember dreaming that I was looking down at my watch and it showed the time I wanted to wake, and then woke up, looked at my watch and it was 2:30, right on point. I haven't had that experience again, but it was enough.

One night alone in the house at about 2am I woke, clear and sharp, and on automatic pilot jumped out of bed and went quickly to the window in the upper landing of the hall, put on the light and swept back the curtain to look out. There was a would-be burglar jumping my fence and looking to head to my back windows. As soon as he saw the light he jumped instantly back over the fence the way he came and ran for it. I had never done that before or since. The police were at my door in record time, they were looking for him, and they shot off in pursuit in a patrol car with my sketchy description.

Same with me, one of my early experiences of presentiment with an animal was when I had a dog. After making a decision to take him for a walk I could silently think the word “walkies” or “where’s your lead”, without making a sound or moving my lips, and he would jump up from sleep and look at me with his head tilted, then go dog crazy, ready to go out.

Yes, of course. Attach it to making money, and investors will sit up. I think we all do this all the time whilst driving. But we call it experience or something. I frequently know when a car is going to pull out and take action before it does. I say out loud, I knew he was going to do that. And I did. I had a motorway experience where I had the strong urge to take the next exit. I ignored it. Within a minute, a lorry carrying aerosol cans exploded in front of me. We were all stuck for hours.

[@0ptimal]

One time i was driving through town, doing 45 or so and coming upon a green light, and there was a car in the opposing turn lane and for whatever reason i got the sense that they were going to pull out in front of me. Seems we both had green lights but she was supposed to yield to oncoming traffic. So in the few seconds i had, i watched them like a hawk and let off the gas, and sure enough, she pulled out, and i had to instantly and fully slam on the brakes. Skidding towards them, i see the passenger staring at me in horror. Thankfully, the actions i took enabled me to prepare and react very quickly to just miss hitting them as they narrowly drove out of the way. I thought, "Thank god i got that feeling, it would have been horrible." I drive a truck. But I was amazed how i sensed they would pull out with no indication otherwise because they were stationary and waiting. It was as if something in my brain said "this car is going to pull out in front of you", i just knew it. I never have such a sense while driving, ever. But i did that time, and i feel certain a collision would have happened had i not gotten that sense.

[@lazerwolf001]

Interesting account, I think senses like this come from your years of experience in driving , you have logged in your brain hundreds of hours of driving scenarios and in that instance your brain probably noticed a subtle pattern in the moment of the other car in relation to their position.

[@PaulFrankAdams]

I did that once. I was cruising along for many miles, but suddenly slowed down for no apparent reason at an intersection that was my obvious right of way. Another car entered in front of me, without slowing down a bit. By rights he should have stopped and waited for me to pass. My action averted what would have been a nasty high-speed accident.

@@0ptimal That is an amazing experience that worked out a lot better than it could have for all concerned. I had an experience a couple of months ago. I was like in a daze for a few moments while driving and pulled to the right even more, even though I was already in the right lane. It was because a person was changing to the lane I occupied without seeing me. It was as if I were gliding through and t seemed like time slowed down.

I was in a safari in Sri Lanka coast during 2004 tsunami and I can attest a huge herd of dears passed in front of our car a few hours before the wave. We also witnessed freezing behaviours in reptiles. My thesis was in earthquake prediction by feeding AI model with storks flight patterns few days prior to earthquakes and preliminary results were conductive. One possible explanation could be the magneto-sensitivity of some animals. They could sense electromagnetic pulses triggered by changes in pressure in the crust (piezoelectric effect) and subsequent release of ions in the atmosphere

[@bronsonstone725]

Very good, it’s always nice to find supporting evidence. When I was 49, I was walking to work, I was doing a focus exercise, like meditation while walking, suddenly my consciousness shifted from the body to beyond all things. The body continued to walk while I remained motionless, the body got to work and worked, it communicated with others, but I remained completely neutral, not engaged, just aware. This will likely seem confusing, but we are not the bodies, so when you transcend you do not experience through the body. It was clear that because the body continued to do what it does without “me” in the drivers seat, then as historical philosophers or mystics have eluded to , the world is a play, all doing , all actions are predetermined. So for precognition to occur is natural, whatever is going to happen was already scripted to happen. The trick is how to intentionally look through the film reel .

Rupert, great podcast. You probably, almost certainly are aware that the argument is that we are weakly connected to the 'One' and thus this may well explain presentiment.

About a year before the 9/11 I had a dream where I was inside a passenger plane crashing into a skyscraper. Seconds before the crash I realised we’re going to crash and I strongly sensed it was intentional. At the moment of the impact, I felt the pain of all the passengers, those in the building and all those indirectly affected was put on me, I felt the pain, agony and sorrow of thousands of people. I had a similar pov dream of the London bombings about a year before they took place, and vivid tsunami dreams before the 2004 Tsunami. When I was younger, I had reoccuring dreams of things that would happen in my personal relationships so much so that I learnt a pattern and once caught a person that was planning things, before she acted on it. She was spooked and fully admitted what she had been planning. Since then I have not had dreams like that that I remember. It was a few years period in my life that those dreams occured, and then it was like frequency was switched and they stopped.

[@divalivingston1664]

When I was younger, I had premonitions or presentiment and I thought I would know about somebody dying and I didn't want to know that. I did have a dream about an earthquake or what I thought was an earthquake before 9/11. I was on the 4th floor of a building in St. Louis, MO in an attorney's office. I was a legal secretary and it was a gray gloomy day. Looking out the window, I asked him, If you were to die, would you want to jump out of a window. I looked back over my shoulder at him. He had a surprised look on his face. He said No, I'd want to be blown to pieces. Weird, huh.

A phenomenon I experience fairly often, is the mental download of what I can only describe as irrelevant data. That is to say facts which are of little consequence to me, or of none whatsoever. A typical example might be someone I haven't thought about in years, bought a new kettle from a particular shop in a place I am unfamiliar with. This information is highly detailed and particular, with physical appearance including changes, clothing, location, but has little practical or emotional consequence. It's like being party to surveillance camera footage meant for someone else. Rarely, there is a closer connection, which feels like snooping, but mostly it's day-to-day trivia updated in blocks a few times a year. I've yet to garner lottery numbers, winning race horses, a cure for the common cold, or anything with a practical application. Neither do I know who is doing the sending, or why.

I'll be told someone has moved house, and I realise I know and all the particulars surrounding it, even though it's someone whose only contact is a Christmas card, and they only decided to move a few weeks previously. Typically, details will be so firmly implanted as facts in my memory, the precise equivalent of knowledge acquired by conventional means, that people are perturbed how I knew something. I appreciate this sounds bizarre, but as its content resembles gossip of almost no interest or relevance to me, it's difficult to ascribe an emotional value to it. It just is. Very occasionally the "news" is of a personal nature, and quite unsettling, but this is the exception. I fully expect a health scare regarding a former girlfriend I haven't seen for decades, but there's no way I'd chase something like that down, or even know how to as I'm not on social media. I regard it as an aspect of instinct, rather like the way someone will know a sibling or child is in trouble, at a distance. For whatever reason my woo largely resembles the content of club newsletter on a subject of no interest!

Go Rupert! A real scientist. We could use a lot more like him.

[@gm9884]

I have those "dreams"... they are different than regular dreams because I can still remember them, even after a very long time...some of them are maybe 20 years old...some of them were very banal but majority of them have marked something important in my life, for some of them it took more than 10 years to play in reality...I had a way to instigate them but after a while it did not feel wright because I used to feel ungrounded so it seems better to quit

Thank you good Sir. I have had many precognitive dreams that proved to be true. this talk encourages me to pay more attention and write them down. I have been listening to Iain McGilchrist before going to sleep. That seems to stimulate dreams.

[@lancelotdufrane]

My dreams so vivid. Usually about meeting a certain person. Later, as I’m shaking their hand, I realize…. Oh YOURE that person. I pay close attention to what comes next. Waking before alarms. Always done that. Seems the act of setting the alarm is enough. This part of our human experience is so delicate. Folks have very strong attitudes about it.

I have a cat that can reliable predict thunderstorms. 30 - 60 minutes before a big thunderstorm it goes into hiding. Something it does not do in any other occasions. We assumed he might be able to hear it far away but once it even predicted bad weather when the national online weather report forecasted a 0% chance of rain just 30 minutes before it stormed. In the now 15 years there was only 1 "false alarm" noted with countless more or less unexpected positives.

[@LizzieWhiz]

When I lived in Spain our cat would walk us to the gate into the apartment complex. One night she kept following us out the gate and down the road the to the bar we were going to. The heavens opened and a vertical sea of water descended. Our boyfriends, who worked at the bar told us to go home because all the lights in town would go out. Half way up the hill all the lights went out, that cat took us home. She would meow at us and we could see her eyes in the dark then she would walk a little further ahead, meow again and we followed her eyes, until eventually we were home. Roka, knew a weather event was going to happen and she decided to look after us.

I heard about experiments showing that the heart reacts before the brain. Maybe there is untapped potential in the heart! Such as heart coherence between people. "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." - Colossians 3:15

[@marcuso-ss6fc]

Love the clarification of how a wave is through time, and that causality as we observe it stretches both from the past as well as the future. For some reason this is ignored when attempts are made to debunk retro causal effects or presentiment

[@sankolewis]

I used to regularly wake up before my alarm clock, the prevent the horrible sound from "alarming" me and putting me in a bad mood. I recently (few months ago) changed the alarm sound to a soothing song that wouldn't jolt me awake. Ever since I changed the alarm sound to something not so "alarming", I seldom wake before the alarm, and now wake up with the soothing song gently waking me from sleep. I think this might be another way to test this theory. The more "alarming" the alarm sound, the more likely it is that one would have presentiment of it.

[@ToxiCom-777]

I'm awaiting the DIY water-gun alarm clock that spritzes a squirt-gun as means to awaken...

[@Demention94]

It's very much real. I have had some pre cognition in dreams before. Also, sometimes, know the song before it comes on the radio. It's usually about 5 seconds before. Sometimes, there are multiple songs in a row. You don't necessarily pay attention more so ... just feeeeeeel it come to you.

[@alexzapf8212]

My wife and i guess the time together as a fun game. One of us often will get it exactly right. Last night she had said "42 after, but i was gonna say 34 after". And she had said even when second guessing herself 34 stuck in her head very predominantly. Sure enough it was 34 after on the dot. This happens very often. Its a fun game to play when you and another havent looked at the time lately and one asks what time it is. Its important to go with the very first number you imagine, as any kind of contemplating it almost ensures youll be wrong

[@catoelder4696]

[@aaronscottmatthews7883]

I began remote viewing in 2005. My first target was a photo of a tornado and what I saw was a plane falling out of the sky in a spiral- this is called analytic overlay, where the psychic impulse is converted to something similar by your imagination. After experimenting with it for some time, like days or weeks, I decided to test the limits and I set as my target, " the photo in the top left corner of the page of a google image search for the first random word I find in a dictionary". I saw angled lines and hexagons. I then found the word in the dictionary, which was "myelin". The first image was the molecular structure of the myelin glycoprotein.

[@abcabc9893]

I have this with dreams, presentiment, precognition, and have developed my relationship with these traits for the last 30 years. Traits arising from the right hemisphere work alongside emotional regulation and ongoing personal growth via integration of historical personal material. This is homeostatic regulation working on various levels of functionality, emotional, cognitive, historical and ontological. Synchronous events weave into these experiences as feedback events that correlate with underlying unconscious development stages. Tracking dreams, developmental symbolism and patterns of events help correlate the interrelationship of these structural aspects to our nervous system and genetic intelligence. Somatic, nervous system and genetic levels of awareness all share their information to awareness, interpreting those and developing self awareness takes time and reveals a ontological event horizon as an unfolding emergent process of continuing adult developmental stages. Interpretating psi events as stand-alone phenomena does not do justice to the broader evidence to where they arise from.... and what that signifies.

The question I have is whether the future exists already or whether events are being pushed by something in nature (or by a person) to happen? If pushed then the subject just picks up the direction the future is heading.

[@frazzledazzle89]

Awesome

[@AndyWitmyer]

Upon further reflection and checking the dates, I think I did have a presentiment dream recently. I had a very dream about ominous, immensely large ships coming into the bay of a city that were not supposed to be there. They gave off a very foreboding vibe, like they would bring with them some kind of unknown but terrible tiding. It was extremely vivid, such that I wrote it out - which I almost never do. That's also the only time I can ever remember dreaming about ships. That dream occurred om March 25. The incident involving a ship unexpectedly running into and destroying a bridge in Baltimore happened the next day, on March 26. I think I may need to start writing out my dreams more often...

[@jsblastoff]

But what if it’s our minds that change the future. We’re not predicting, we’re creating 🤣

[@charlotterobinson1302]

Demo accounts in trading already exist. In my personal experience, behavior and emotion in trading is quite different when "real money" is on the line. I believe many retail trading platforms allow users of demo accounts to win big. This sense of false confidence encourages people to deposit money. I enjoyed your podcast and the insights found in the comments.

Alarm phenomenon Looking forward or dread of time to come

[@shemusmcquillaide]

About waking up just before an alarm, I have also noticed that during the day I am correct 90 percent of the time when I make a guess as to what the correct time is, there isn't anything that i can guess correctly with such certainty, dependability and accuracy. It doesn't really help me though as checking the accuracy of my guess makes me even more interested in finding out what time it is according to some time piece. I always thought knowing/having a sense of the correct time seemed to have a dual function, to wake me up just in case I forgot to set the alarm or the batteries in the clock died. Its interesting too that in dreams and sleep the sense of time is completely gone, you can wake up from a dream feeling it must have gone on all night, only to find you've been dozing for just a few hours, or the other way around, I might shut the alarm off and fall back to sleep and feel I'd just had a few trivial hypnogogic episodes to find that in actuality, I had fallen asleep for another 3 hours, so its kind of amazing one can just wake up on a dime 0-5 minutes before the alarm rings while just having emerged from sleep and dream where there is complete absence of time.

[@OneiroTv]

I had a period where I followed these little snippets of the future in my dreams, I called them dream syncs, very interesting to hear studies had actually been done on this phenomena, I thought until now it was a unique occurrence that was just happening for me

[@AzureSky6612]

The waking up before my alarm thing (non-routine), often within 1 minute, happens to be me all the time. The one time it happened to me, however, when I had set my computer's alarm clock to go off, I recall waking up around 3 minutes before the alarm time and, being in a half-asleep state, I remotely viewed my computer's desktop (somehow bypassing the screensaver) and current time displayed on it, as in astral travel, in this instance traveling a few metres from my bed to my computer. Checking the time and seeing it was within 1-2 minutes of the alarm time, I fully woke up and then walked over to my computer to verify the time. It was exactly as I had seen it in my astral state.

[@user-kv7bs7ug8u]

It’s a “clear” knowing which I understand.

[@marjoriegoodwin2993]

I have an alarm clock, but never use it. Although I live alone, when it is time to awaken, I will invariably hear my name shouted, which awakens me. I am alone when this happens. At other times I have heard the phone ringing, which awakens me...but the reality is that my actual phone never rang. This is an internal ringing or shouting which awakens me. I cannot account for this. I have come to believe that the borders of my consciousness extend further than the borders of most folks. Just a guess. In 1970 we had a cat who always knew when my partner was on the way home and sat in the window at that time to greet him. I suspect that these things are quite common, but many folks are simply not paying attention, dismiss these things, or simply do not retain the memory of such occurrences. Am so glad Rupert wrote his book.

[@OldSkoolUncleChris]

[@chris_loth]

I've had some experiences and really opened up to these topics, so I know what is possible and it goes quite a bit deeper than what is discussed here. Although this all really is enormous interesting, I'd prefer people not believing in all of it as it might come with some risks when people begin to actually use scientific findings and develop techniques/applications for their own purposes.

[@fpsbach9925]

I experience this all the time. A few weeks ago, in a dream, someone asked me about Toby Keith. I hadn't heard that name in years. Within an hour of waking someone told me Toby Keith died. I also thought these were false memories, so I wrote down my dreams, and I experienced seeing the future dimly even more. The future events always happen the same day, though, not two days later, or three days later, but always the same day I awaken from the dream.

About the futures/forex market, of course these apps already exist, but the question is if the person would perform as accurately once they know real money is involved

[@AndyWitmyer]

Very interesting - not even three days ago, I was literally reflecting upon about how odd it is that I almost always seem to wake up 20-90 seconds before an alarm goes off. My schedule for sleep is not static either - some days, I have an alarm set much earlier or later, but I still almost never wake up because of the alarm itself - it's almost always just before. And now, I see this video in my suggestions. I've never even heard of Rupert Sheldrake, so it definitely feels perhaps there's a bit synchronicity of some sort at play here. It's either that, or the ghouls at KZbin is directly reading my thoughts. I'd much prefer, though, to think of it as being the former 😂

[@ElitePeeM]

I knew this video would come up. 😅 Seriously though, I’ve had lots of precognitive dreams. After keeping a dream diary, you get to know your individual dream language, and can distinguish the precognitive dreams from the random nonsense. I have witnesses to some of these dreams by telling someone in advance.

[@kaichambers2997]

Within 24 hours of listening to this I had what I think amounts to an episode of presentiment. On my drive home from work my phone rang. I was driving so didn't answer. Just before I arrive home I thought hang on what was that call and pick up my phone to play the message, I'm in traffic but stopped at the lights and a minute from my front door. I had a dog for many years and arriving home was always a charged moment. Sure enough the call was my boss telling me to turn round and come back, a fire that I'd lit to burn off garden waste had caught on and spread to other conbustables and that I was in trouble for leaving it all unattended... meanwhile as I listen back to the message a cop sees me on my phone 'whilst driving', adopts a stance of zero tolerance and follows me to my door where he cautions me and issues a penalty. I'd like to contest, ( after all there was an emergency of sorts, which i didn't mention to the cop, not wanting to get into it with him even though he did prompt me ) I doubt a court would be interested in engaging with my argument.

[@martinamillabernad5254]

Artist Joan Miró finished a large painting he titled The loneliness of death row hours before Salvador Puig Antich was executed in a Barcelona prison in 1974. Miró mentioned he had had a premonition of the youth's tragic death.

[@williamwightman8409]

This brings up an interesting question of the flexibility of the precognitive dream. I had a strong precognition a decade ago that I was going to have a bad accident on my road bike rather soon. I went over and over in my mind how I would deal with it. The very next weekend I was out riding alone and rode into a black slimy puddle and I lost control. On the way down I said "oh, there you are. I shall just become like a limp noodle". I had plenty of road rash and bruising but no broken bones. It seems likely that many of these precog events that occur in our dreams remain as unconscious preparation for difficult near term events.

[@user-245er4ud]

This reminds me of what has been said of remote viewing but in a more free form without any direction or guidance

[@Lethgar_Smith]

Odd that this video was recommended to me. I awoke this morning, on my day off, 30 minutes before my alarm went off and the first thing I did was check the stock price of DJT, just because I am taking delight in its downfall. Not a day trader, just someone who keeps eye on what's going on... Interesting.

[@quinsopher]

31:00 I worked shiftwork and would sometimes forget to set my alarm but would still wake up at the desired time even though there was no routine.

[@rasko]

I was a little taken aback when you mentioned 9/11 because a) I only watched this video because I recognised your name after reading your sons book on fungi and a little disappointed I wanted to be reassured this was a ploy and then also because I was also reminded of profound dreams ~6 months prior to 9/11. I had two dreams either a day apart or possibly the same night. The importance was significant enough for me to have spoken about it to my then partner. I was living in Dalston, London at the time. The planes flying into buildings seemed like just a bad dream but the profound dream was being on an airliner during a hijacking, and the hijacker’s wearing orange high vis type vest. I was shook when it finally turned out that this was exactly what happened on one of the other flights that crashed elsewhere. In the same period of time I dreamt of two young girls wearing red sports shirts, which turned out to seem relevant to the Soham murders. These are a couple of dreams I’d consider significant amidst many others that are more inconsequential. I’ve had only one other dream that surpassed the emotional impact these dreams had, but that was in 1996/7 and as yet, hasn’t happened, in this dimension at least. 🤞
