Most of our decisions and choices are made consciously, with some time, planning, and effort, but there are certain feelings that just come about without us even really thinking about them, like intuition. When folks experience this ‘inner voice,’ some listen to it, while others ignore it when they’re feeling uncertain.
To really shine a light on this process, someone on X asked people about their scariest gut feelings that they actually followed through on and what happened then. Most of these stories are scary to actually think about, but they show the true power of the sixth sense.

i was sleeping and had a VIVID dream of my throat being crushed. the bed i was on had terrible springs, so i felt it just being shoved back and cracking under the weight+distance. woke up, nearly gagged coughing, it still hurt, scared the s**t outta me.

like 5-10 minutes later, my partner at the time tried to sneak into the room, and me saying hi surprised him. he didnt expect me to be awake, and seemed a little awkward for a bit until he went to go make food. i still think about that.
