Feeling

It is called a presentiment to some inner movement that makes it glimpse and presage what is going to happen.

It is the feeling or the sentimental or affective apprehension of some future event. It is also called premonition, a word that is taken as a synonym of foreboding, although by its etymology it connotes mainly the affective aspect of the phenomenon, whereas the premonition indicates rather its cognitive aspect and in some way its origin of an intelligent being that would give the advance warning or monition. In fact these phenomena, true or apparent, are always accompanied by a certain affective nuance that legitimates the indifferent use of the words premonition or presentiment. This notion also has many points of contact with divination and prognosis. They agree that all of them contain or import the knowledge of something future; but these two notions are perfectly distinguishable from the two preceding ones, for unlike them, they indicate in a certain way the means by which one comes to the knowledge of the future event which is supposed to be a divine revelation in divination or certain objective signs in the prognosis, which may fall squarely within positive science, such as the prognosis in medicine. At last, the feeling has much in common with the prophecy, and even perhaps it would coincide exactly with it in which case the event that is presumed could not be known by any natural means as it would be if the future event could not for example, the certain presentiment of a contingent free future, the verification of which could not be explained by chance.

As for the reality or existence of the phenomenon described, many of the cases exposed find an obvious and natural explanation, either by the conjecture or foresight that give rise to the events when considering them under the light of reason and the experience of life or by the verification of the merely fortuitous presentiment, or by the special affective state of the subject of the presentiment. These presentiments of affective origin are extremely frequent and have the peculiarity that while those that are verified, perhaps casually, are indelibly imprinted in memory, whereas those that are not performed are relegated to oblivion (see selection bias). For this reason it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to apply statistical methods to the study of the frequency of these cases.
