The strangest thing happened to me today.. for some reason I turned off all of my alarms this morning, and I slept in a little later than usual (still made it to work on time thank god.. but I'm always getting up way earlier than I need to so I can have time to fool around on the computer or with musical instruments).
This morning I had a pretty vivid dream.. it wasn't lucid but more vivid than some recent ones I've had (could it be because I didn't drink last night?) and in my dream, there I was on the second or third floor of a building. At that time there was a pretty big earthquake.. and everyone was freaking out. I kept normal being as though I'm somewhat used to them living on Guam for so long but after this panicked dream I woke up.

hopped in the shower.. shoved some natto in my mouth and headed out to work.

later in class all of my teachers told me of a huge earthquake that happened in the mainland Japan. 6.8 magnitude.. apparently at least 7 people died, buildings were flattened and more and more.. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6900156.stm)

I've had prophetic dreams but nothing like this.. a strange coincidence? is it possible that we can intercept this knowledge all the time but someone in our waking consciousness we have trained ourselves to not see it?

There were no tremors felt here in Okinawa so that is why I'm a bit curious about this..

has anyone had any experiences with prophetic dreams on a larger scale?
