They almost always seem to be of a very vague/personal nature, usually to do with relationships, changes in one's life and actions of personal acquaintances.



changes - I meet this a lot - people often claim that their dreams predicted misfortune/fortune/a great change in their lives, but the nature and time scale is usually very vague. Change is a normal part of life - I can predict that someone will go through "great changes" some time future - that doesn't make me a precog. Also the same applies for some "great event" that may happen some time in the future. If the premonitions are more specific it is because people, even before the dream have some information that "it may come sometime".

relationships - people often do this, but since we have basically simplified models/simulations of other people in out minds it is only natural to be able to sometimes predict their actions (example - you have a friend that is usually frustrated - you predict that he will lash out)


Why is it, that in days/weeks before worldwide events like september 11 or Michel Jacksons death the forums were not flooded with people predicting this stuff? why is it that no one ever won a lottery or in the stock market by using precog dreaming? Indeed, the James Randi foundation offers 1 million dollars to anyone who can demonstrate anything supernatural - so far it has gone unclaimed. seems that these claims are very slippery and evaporate when scrutinized.
