Today she kept saying it over and over. She said she did know if it was going to be good or bad, but thought it was going to be good for her and for me and everyone we love. Then she told me to go home it would all be okay. I told her that I would call her in a couple of hours. She said not to be surprised if she didn't answer the phone and not to come over there alone. I was positive she thought she was going to die tonight. However, she is healthy except for the dementia, which comes and goes with hours of clarity. It just seems like she feels the dementia like a premonition or something. Is that possible?
I ask this because I have them, all the time, and am 90% accurate. I'm only 41 and I'd hate to believe that this was a sign of dementia. I don't like having this gift/curse, and I can't control it. i also don't share with others when I feel things unless I think I can prevent harm.
Having said that, if this is new for her, then I would be concerned and possibly seek a neurological work up. It is possible these could be hallucinations due to dementia, rather than premonitions (hard to tell the two apart)
But please don't write off intuition completely. Often I feel that if I'd listen to my intuition more, I'd be better off.

On the other hand, my grandma swore she would die before 50 and she just felt it. She knew it and reminded my dad quite a bit. Well, it all finally caught up with her at 91. She outlived my dad.
My mom who has no dementia and is sharp as a tack has routinely told me for the last several years she doesn't have much longer. When we go to the doctor, her blood work is the same or has changed little and she is holding her own. This has been years now.
