I don't know about "another plane of existance" but certainly there's connections and links between people that are not able to be explained by current scientific knowledge.
When my brother damaged his ankle playing basketball, I knew already and for no reason other than I felt uneasy and nervous I phoned his friends to see if he was ok when he wouldn't answer his phone, and they told me they were on the way to taking him to hospital.
Years back I had two friends in the car with me travelling along a road intersected by a half dozen crossroads. We had right of way, the crossroads were all stop signs. Each intersection was blind due to houses and fences and so on and it was after dark. For no reason at all, something didn't feel right and I hit the brakes fairly sharply. My friend asked why I was braking when we had right of way just as someone ran the stop sign in front of us. I had no answer for him.
Once in the rally car the navigator called 4 crests long straight, meaning the road went straight ahead over 4 crests, and we were free to go flat out. First 3 crests were great fun, getting good air under the car and generally enjoying the event. The last crest and I got the same black feeling and backed off, much to Marty's (the navigator's) annoyance until we went over the hill and saw the road turned sharply around an enormous tree stump. We found out later it had claimed 5 cars and hospitalised 3 people in the event. I had no way of knowing it was there - I just knew something was wrong. Again, no explanation.
The few times I have ignored the feeling, I have regretted it (including my motorbike crash).
Explanation? no idea at all, truly. Another plane? maybe. some other explanation? maybe. God? well, maybe too, though too many other pieces make me reject that notion though again I am still open minded.
It's a weird world, and exploring its secrets is part of the journey of life.
