Precognitive dreams and Hypnagogic Hallucination

[Original Poster]

I was wondering if there's a link between hypnagogic hallucination and precognitive dreams. The reason for this curiosity is because materialists often like to sum up all shadow people, abductions and paranormal encounters as HH since so many occur during sleep paralysis. However, this still forces them to rule out the existence of precognition, despite the fact that precognition has been so well documented. While I do understand that HH makes it possible to write off ghosts, demons, shadow people, etc, I wonder if people prone to these encounters are also prone to precognition, or even poltergeists and other phenomena which have nothing to do with sleep paralysis. This isn't a serious study, just list the different kinds of paranormal experiences you've had and I'll develop a proper hypothesis. This includes both HH and non-HH related phenomena. I'm trying to draw a proper comparison between the two types of experiences.

I get precognitive dreams every once in a while, I used to get them fairly often when I was younger but they happen less frequently these days. For the first couple years, I'd just write these experiences off, thinking I was just attaching real-life situations to vague dreams and fooling myself into thinking that it was a premonition. I started writing some of these dreams down though and a fair number have actually played out in real life. Nothing long, just a few seconds here and there. It's not like I have a dream of meeting a dude with blonde hair and brown sweater, see someone who fits that vague description in real life, and then go "HA! IMMA PSYKIKZ!" I mean very specific scenes - smells, sounds, faces, conversations, etc. There have been plenty of times where I'll get that feeling of déjà rêvé and then I'll sort of narrate what's going to happen in the next few seconds. It usually happens in small clusters - something will happen and I'll go "didn't I dream of this?" and then a few days later something similar will will happen, and then again, and again, and again. Then there's a dryspell before the next cluster. And yes, I totally realize how reatarded I sound right now and I've always been skeptical of it as well, but I've come to accept it as a "thing." It's real, it happens. I've got my own theory to explain it, but it probably seems just as absurd as the notion of premonitions. I think most of these cases can be dismissed by the simple fact that many of your dreams are pretty much simulations that your brain runs after crunching certain "numbers." It constructs scenes and scenarios based on everything you have going in your life and then sort of comes up with predictions of how things are most likely to play out in Situation X. That dismisses most of these types of dreams, but certainly not all of them.

I full heartedly support the notion of pre cognitive dreams from personal experience. However I don't think you can predict something that hasn't already happen. Look at the word, pre [before] cognitive [of or pertaining to the act or process of knowing, perceiving, remembering, etc.; of or relating to ...] my literal translation [a before knowing or perception] To me the word pre cognitive implies many things one of them being that what we call "now" would be more accurately described as "past perception, or past knowing" :-) namaste.
