Well to answer the dream question, I would say that if LDs were bad, then I would be dead & buried by now, b/c I have them every night!

doesn't it follow logically to observe the scientific study of similiar \"impossible\" experiences like ESP or Remote Viewing? And if some of them prove true, however slightly, doesn't it logically follow that precognition is at least possible?
That conclusion -that precog is possible- certainly does follow from that premise -ESP being proven true. Thus, your argument is valid. But boringly enough, that initial premise is untrue, so the argument is unsound. Not one of ESP or Remote Viewing have been proven, so there remains no reason to defy intuition and the logic of time's progression in believing that precognitive dreams (of the promptless predicting variety we're considering) are at all possible.
Labs are not necessary (nor, as you say, are they effective - as they are simply inappropriate) for the disproval of precognition. Logical argument is all that's required. Considering time and our limitation within it, tapping into the future beyond that which is possible (substantiated prediction) from present or past-time experiences (which is what unaided precog is), excepting the chance success of guesswork, is proven impossible. Such cognitive time-travel simply is logically impossible.[/b]
As for that, there is no one in the world that can make 100% accurate guesses, so there is no such thing. On the other hand, there are some people that can guess right answers 75% of the time. That is my score in Card Concentration, but I can also guess in real life, but 75%?! That totally sux for a score!
