Main Spider Sense Discussion
Since the (fictional) trope refers to magical powers, a Real Life section is inappropriate. Moving this material off Main.
- Blue Sense
is the term used within law-enforcement for the intuition, sometimes bordering on psychic awareness, that possessed by some officers and cultivated within police precincts and other law-enforcement and peacekeeping agencies. Blue Sense can detect the guilt (or intentions) of a suspect, the nature of bystanders, and even warn of impending hostility or danger.
- There is also a Red Sense that some firefighters possess and may even develop* that guides them to fire-victims in unnavigable smoke-filled rooms, or warns them of impending explosions.
- Situation Awareness Training as it is applied to front line soldiers also includes development of intuition, and the awareness of bodily reactions (e.g. neck-hair creep) that are responses to hunches, bad feelings, etc. In frenetic situations (such as battlefield conditions), our senses are aware of much more than we can consciously recognize as our brains try to process out the Essential Elements of Data (actually called EEDs)* . So intuition is awareness of our instinctive responses to perceived but not observed dangers, whether through our familiar senses, or through ones less commonly known.
