Monitions of Approach

Unaccountable ideas of an impending meeting with someone. A person seen in the street, for example, is believed to be an old friend, and the next second the mistake is seen. Soon afterward, the real friend appears. Such occurrences are fairly common, but may happen in a somewhat complicated way. A voice may be heard announcing the person's arrival while the percipient is in a dreaming or waking state. The voice may be accompanied by a phantom of the approaching individual. Spiritualists said monitions of approach came from the projection of the human double of the person soon to arrive.
