I think ‘fear’ is a strong word to connect to intuition. For me being intuitive would be more about an apprehension. For example, if I am going for a social get together, I will have an intuition that some one is going to ask me a tricky question about a personal matter of my life. How should I face that, so I would rather prepare myself for that because I know that will happen and I don’t want to be taken off-guard or find myself fumbling for answers, so I will prepare myself. Sometimes we hve an intuition about an unlikely guest dropping in and in a few hours they are at your door, or even a telephone call which does arrive!

A sense of intuition is pretty strong and it helps you by not shocking you in the face of situations, as your example about possibility of another lock down so instead of taking drastic actions, it’s there in your mind and you’ll make mental notes about what to do in the coming days, so as not to be taken by surprise and you are prepared for it. I think that’s also what people mean when they say they hve a sixth sense about it. I think it’s the same thing.

Sure! And not everyone has the same experience. For some, following their intuition is not comfortable, and for others, like myself some years ago, I confused fear with intuition. You're so right when you say 'it does not shock', because that is my sense as well. It's more open/ expansive and allowing of possibilities... when we learn to work with it!
