I have to ask you how an isolated incident is enough for you to base your entire perspective on how reality works. You experienced a very strange, and convincing coincidence. There is not enough information afforded to you by this experience to draw any conclusions that you can be even remotely sure of. Your reaction seems a bit... silly. Silly, but not all that uncommon. You are far from the only person to do it, but it makes no logical sense to do--hence the silliness factor.
I'm going to tell you right now, things get real fucky when you are dealing with altered states of consciousness, especially ones where your memory is very faulty (i.e. dreaming or on certain drugs, like in the experience I've had that I am going to go into detail about). Memories are inaccurate enough and easily influenced as it is, there are multiple experiments out there that demonstrate this quality as being true, even with waking adults. I had an experience, back when I did hallucinogenic drugs, where I was on a shit ton of a dissociative. I had been watching a movie I had just seen the night before, and suddenly the last 15 minutes of the movie changed to something I had never seen before. I was like, fuck it man, I megadosed this shit, I'm probably tripping that much nuts. The next day I download a movie I had read about that morning, and watch it. Suddenly, the last 15 or so minutes of the movie plays, and my jaw drops as I recognize what I am seeing. It is the very same movie ending I had seen the night previous. I was absolutely sure that I had seen it the night before, but you know what? I really can't be. I really can't be sure of what happened because just how fucked up I was. Who knows what I even saw as the end of the movie. Maybe I instantly projected that ending... well, maybe I should say "stitched" it into the memory of the night before, the moment I saw it. With my own account as the only thing to go by, and with it being the only incident where something like this had occurred, even though I could swear I time-traveled for like fifteen minutes or something crazy, there was no reason to believe that that was/is truly the case. There is no concrete evidence to go by, all the evidence suggests exactly the opposite.
You should watch vids on how a planted witness to a crime in a set of witnesses can inject false information about what happened and nearly all the other witnesses will claim to have seen the same thing. Their memories are not concrete, they are altered the moment you access them. For all you know, the details in the dream were actually quite different, but the brain made a connection (as it has learned to do), and made what you saw seem very convincing. This is something that helps us to learn, making leaps like this. It can also stifle learning, but that is what higher thinking is for--to rule out what doesn't make sense logically. So, I really have to ask what your rationale is in believing so thoroughly that you indeed had a precognitive dream... or rather that you saw the future. That, and how you can use that assumption as a basis for how you think time works.
