Means Nothing, but (Psychic Experience) [View all]

I've been having a lot of them lately, some meaningful, some not so meaningful. I'm posting about the latter today because the experience itself intrigues me. If people are interested, I might post about a few others. LMK if you're curious about them. I don't want to monopolize thread space with stuff people don't care about.

Yesterday I took a break from working on my sheds (massive organization process) and met up with my psychic friend Angel that I wrote about on another thread. As per our usual, we met for lunch in this town with lots of charming dining places, boutiques, etc.

On my way over in my car I smelled something: It was the most wonderful aroma. It smelled like someone canning jelly in the kitchen.

At first I thought something might be wrong with my car. After all, some car smells could be sweet, like antifreeze, perhaps. Maybe my radiator was leaking and dripping on a hot pipe?

The smell persisted and was with me all the way to my destination. I enjoyed it very much. It made me happy in the way one feels comfort and "at home."

I had received a call a day before telling me that a cousin my age had passed away in an accident. I doubt this was related to him, though. We were not close and have not seen each other in 30 years. I did, however, invite him to speak through me to the family. I can't associate this incident with anything about him, though.

After lunch, Angel and I went shopping in some of the clothing boutiques. Angel bought a sweater vest for her upcoming trip to Ireland. At the same boutique, they had candles on sale and I was astonished to see a "dill" candle! Have you ever heard of a candle scented like dill?!

I loved the idea so I bought the candle and when I returned home, found my spouse and a lawyer friend of ours sitting at the DR table enjoying some wine and snacks. Since both have an interest in scents (the lawyer is in public planning and wants to construct a public "scent mall&quot , I took my candle out of the bag and removed the label. I asked them to sniff it and see if they could tell what the scent was.

Then we lit the candle and--it was the same smell as the one I'd experienced in the car!

So apparently I was experiencing my candle aroma before I even purchased it.

Any reason for that? Apparently not. Just a regular ole' sensory premonition, I guess.
