Although I've experienced episodes of apparent precognition, the direction this thread is taking makes me think of something that happens more commonly - when I'm sleeping, some noise or even will happen and get incorporated into my dream. The thing is, in my dream, the plot is all set up to include the noise or whatever before it happens. Like if I suddenly hear an unusual bird, say a parrot, screech outside my window. In my dream, a person with a parrot on their shoulder will walk up and introduce themselves in the moments before the bird makes any noise. It always astonishes me that my brain can move with such stunning speed to make sense out of an outside event like this. Of course, I'm only even aware of it on the occasions when the noise wakes me up - think how frequently it must actually happen and I never even know about it. The brain is amazing.
