Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and premonitions

Sun, 03/04/2012 - 17:35

Topic: Epilepsy.com Help

I posted this six years ago and thought I would post it again. Does anyone have TLE and experience premontions or other paranormal experiences that don't seem to be related to the TLE?

I have been diagnosed with TLE but can not take medication. Still not sure after all these years what type of seizures I am having. I have had a few two or three second dizzy spells that I am able to talk and function right through. They are calling those the seizures. I also have had many premonitions and some other bizarre visions. These are not the kind that are typical with seizures. These are partial visions that eventually come true. And they are not coincidences. I had a vision of 911 and many other occurances. I have had these all my life---long before the TLE diagnosis. Furthermore, I am not crazy. I'm a professional who seldom admits to these premonitions because I am afraid people will think I'm crazy.

I thought I read a similar post here but now I can't locate.

I would be interested in finding out if anyone else with TLE has these experiences. In particular, any TLE patients that are not on medication.

I have TLE and have had psychic experiences since I was 10. If you still check this board let me know! I don't want to explain if no one is reading this.

I have many sensations from temporal lobe epilepsy that could be labeled psychic, but I just rationalize such as coincidence mixed with subliminals, matching like having a very lucky Clever Hans.

Hello. I am wondering, did everyone's psychic abilities or dreams that seemed to come true, happen when you started having seizures, or did these things happen first, and then you had seizures after, or did you have seizures and then had dreams that came true? I ask this because I started to have grand mal seizures only while sleeping 6 years ago, and then I started to have dreams in the past 2 years that seemed to come true. I would dream something, and then in the next few days, the dream would come true, not exactly like the dream, but close enough that I would wonder. I dreamed my boyfriends great uncle that lived next door to us, mowed his lawn with his chariot style riding lawn mower. He does not have that type of lawn mower, he has a regular riding one, but the next day, he mowed his lawn on the riding lawn mower. Weird.
