I read your initial post just after Easter when my mom gave me a potted gift rose. I had no idea what to do with it, but I followed your advice to a T, and I was sad to watch all the blooms and buds wilt and die only days after I repotted.
premonition (plural premonitions) 1  A clairvoyant or clairaudient experience, such as a dream, which resonates with some event in the future. 2  A strong intuition that something is about to happen (usually something negative, but not exclusively).
Personally I believe that premonitions ARE a very real phenomena. They are much easier to prove than you would think. The reason being is that if a dream is going to come true it will come true very quickly. So if its a premonition then you merely have to wait until the end of the day to see if it comes true. One dream I had myself made me very worried when I woke up.
