Just wondering what you think the difference might be between premonitions and visions - I.e. How would you tell if you've had a premonition or a vision.
I see premonition as a set event that may happen in the future. Most of the elements would be literal and not symbolic.
I see vision as symbolic of what the querent is considering, so the elements within have symbolic resonance.
For example, I had a "vision" (not sure if it was a premonition) around my birthday. I was meditating and I asked for guidance about my birthday. I was feeling depressed about it and didn't know what to do. I ended up having a very clear image of myself in a sequinned black dress, in the arms of a man in a grey suit, and though I couldn't see his face I was looking up at him lovingly. Behind us the river or ocean with a sunset. It was very real and a blissful feeling.
I ended up feeling pulled to walk back to work a certain way and drawn into a store that had the exact dress in my vision, in only my size. The location of the event is a place that is just opening within the next few weeks. I'd never been there and never heard of it before but came across it by chance and it was exactly the place in my vision.
Only thing missing is the guy. So was that a premonition or vision?
