No we do get warnings like that... well yes it was a feeling but why say "just" before it?

Good point..
I guess there's no such thing as "Just" a premonition.. the word kind of doesn't give justice to the source of premotitions does it..

But I guess I said "Just" because it was a premonition, which is at the end of the day (as far as the OP goes)  Just a feeling, even if that feeling is from a paranormal source.

Meditation in many cases is daydreaming.. Sometimes we meditate when we don't even intentionally know we are doing it... Contemplation, Day-dreaming, relaxing, reflecting on self, reminicing, these kind of thought streams can be medative.. I think.

Yeah, that's when I realized listening to music when laying with my eyes closed is a meditation for me, because during this time I'll realize that my mind has wandered off in so many directions, and I don't even remember all of the things I had just thought about. I then realize this was my mind going wherever it wants freely. So many people think that clearing your mind completely is meditating. It can be I guess, but it's just letting it go and not trying to control it that I think is the real magic moment.

The feeling of knowing everything must have been so powerfull.. lol, how cool..  
If it was through meditation, then what song were you listening to? Have you tried to replicate it? Letting go is vital in meditation for sure, but, it makes it hard to replicate the kind of results we're after doesn't it.. That kind of knowing.... be it knowing you will live for 30,000 years or knowing that you know everything is powerfull stuff. I kind of feel as though it wasn't meditation, especially in my case.. but there was a definate shift in consiousness & perspective..  The perspective shift was that I felt taller.. I felt as though the house had shifted north-east by about 50 meters? These smaller details are things that don't fit the bill with standard meditation.. then again, I've only been practicing 7 months.

The other weirdness about the event, for me, was that I forgot it, or dismissed it.. And yet I can now remember a lot of the details around it, & I can also realise that it was something that is shaping the person I am today?

I do this most of the time when im driving.If i want to over take cars in front and dont have alot of road in veiw ahead if I feel apprehensive I dont go but if my body is relaxed I go .Try it when youre driving .Instead of overtaking just note what happens.Try blind bends as well just note how you feel then see whether you had a clear road or not .Do not actually overtake.Just observe how you feel and the out come.Been using this for years and trust my bodies reaction;

Sometimes while I am near sleep, I realize that I am in fact a Giant.  I can tell because of a feeling in my teeth.
It feels nice to be a Giant even if only for a short amount of time.
