Thread: precognitive dreams, does anyone have them?

Are you trying to say that you have ESP? As in your dreams are statistically significant predictions of events that may occur in the future? Because I would like to say now that it's very very easy to find the similarities to reality depending on how generic your recall is, and when you recall the dreams.

For example, a relatively frequent occurrence for me is to recall a tiny part of a dream from the night before (or many nights before, who knows) during the day when something I did reminded me of it. Of course you will recall the similarities, but that's no more coincidence than yelling "MATT" in a crowded room and seeing 6 people turn their heads.
