I don't have a crystal ball, they break and are no good for bowling. I like bowling.
I don't have a garage but I do live in in a nice place, that said I think even Doc Brown's De Lorean would be gone in no time (pun intended).
How can I know?
I have asked myself this question a lot over the last three years.
I have had so many days where I had a dream and woke up in a sweat. I say: "It was just a dream; just calm down. It is nothing." I try to forget it. A week or so later, I make my morning cup of chamomile tea, do gardening, do chores and later I switch on the computer and see the news page and almost hyperventilate. They report what I have seen. I have told friends things in advance. I don't have friends any more. I did not mean to scare them. I just wanted them to get ready.

I have no scientific answer. At least nothing that makes sense, even to me.

I dunno ....

Perhaps my ancestors who defeated the last ice age are steering me, through shared DNA, to survive the next one?
Perhaps my ancestors who fought oppression and slavery are telling me to gear up for the final smackdown?
Perhaps all the hobbies and money I spent on fun times have always guided me to this precise point in time?
Perhaps I chose to be born here to face such times, and took hobbies that would help me along the way?
Perhaps the Earth is sentient and is guiding those who are sensitive?
Perhaps it is the Creator God who made all things, talking to those who are able to listen?
Perhaps it is the Guiding Spirit/animal spirit that the Native Americans believe in?
Perhaps I eat cheese before bedtime? I don't drink coffee or tea before bedtime.
Maybe it was a movie I saw once?
Maybe my imagination is just excitable?
I DO NOT KNOW!
What I do know is that I had a close circle of pals. We'd get together often for a meal and a laugh. I'm an engineer and so were my pals - imagine a group of nerds quoting Monty Python and Hitchhiker's Guide gags to each other. Not everyone's idea of a fun time but we worked together for years, you know? Then I get these dreams. The next time I see my pals I feel driven to tell them. They do not know what to say or what to make of the things I'm telling them. But there is something telling me to let them know and so I share the dream. Suddenly they are busy. They don't come round any more. They may have been terrified from the coof? I don't know.
I honestly just do not know.
2018 I was one of the media consuming hoard. I had never even heard of prepping or being a survivalist. I would not have known what those words meant.
2019 something changed. Was it something inside me all this time? Was it it external? I do not know.

All I know was Oct 2019 I got a 'download' from somewhere and it lit a fire under my ar$e and I've been learning a lot ever since.
Oh, and the sensation comes from my chest/heart region and not my head/brain region. In my experience so far (2019) it has never been wrong.

Please understand I was probably even more sceptical/cynical than you ... right up until it happened to me. I still have no answer.
