A prodrome can be a sign starting a few days beforehand, that a seizure may be happen. It has been likened to the first signs or symptoms that a cold or flu may be coming. It does not happen for all epilepsy patients. Epilepsy has a wide range of causes and levels of severity, so everyone's experiences and triggers are different. So it is not possible to know days beforehand that a seizure may happen in all cases. The trigger for some seizures may happen just before it. The classic example is people who have their seizures triggered by flashing lights, which are only about 3% - 5% of people with epilepsy. Their seizures could be triggered at any time, so it would be impossible to know several days beforehand that it would happen. In terms of what those who may have a prodrome might experience, see the related question below which refers to migraines, but would have things in common with those that have prodromes for their seizures.
