I've had dreams that depicted an event that later occurs in my life. For example I once dreamed me and a group of people were sitting in and around two cars in an otherwise empty parking lot. Months later, my nuclear family parks its car outside an auto repair shop next to my aunts car, our cars nearly alone in the lot. Our two families mingled for hours, and I finally identified the reason for that feeling of familiarity. I also saw an episode of a cartoon months before the cartoon were ever released let alone I saw the episode.
Understandably many people are skeptical of these tyupes of claims. "An object or event you see may trigger false 'memories' or recollections of a dream". May be so, but I noted these dreams after I had them but before they came true, so note of the dream wasn't first taken with the relation between dream and event. It very well could be our minds playing tricks on us, logically I'm skeptical of the brain knowing future events rather than it thinking it does. But I feel pretty sure those dreams really held glimpses of the future. As insignificant as they were, the concept of precognition is intriguing.

Question:
Have you had precognition dreams?

Choices:
Yes, and I believe in human powers of foresight.
No, and I think they're not real foresight, only a vague similarity between a dream and event.
No, and I think an event makes a person THINK they dreamed it
Yes, but I'm skeptical as to its nature (like some above criticizms)

because we are all flesh and blood..."

I've never had such dreams. I've had numerous Deja-Vu occassions, but i never really remembered where do i remember them from.

And yes, i believe in the human powers of foresight.

BTW, you watching the cartoons even before their launch was SUPER COOL! lol

It could be a case of self-fulfilling prophesy or wish fulfillment...not saying that it is, but that it's possible. The mind cognitively functions in such a way that it permits ourselves to play numinous tricks on ourselves precisely because we are a species that is oriented around pattern seeking...not to mention we are the most egocentric species on this planet, so it's no wonder that such instances as the ones that you are describing take place.

Man is always the measure.

Never had dreams, but deja vu that happens when you are wide awake is annoying as all hell, regardless of what causes it. At one point it got so annoying that I started to read about it and got no satisfying answer about why it happens. Supernatural explanations sound phony, materialistic ones are better but still not good enough. If it happens to me, I attribute it to misfiring associative relationships in my mind and wait it out as patiently as I can (it can seriously go on for 10-15 minutes when I have a feeling that I know what will happen next or what a person says and what I will reply). Not that I don't entirely believe in human's ability to foresee the future, it's that this ability never fascinated me much. And I wish my stupid deja vu would stop for good.

Sounds like you have an answer befitting of humanity.

Shams such supposed glimpses can never seem to be of much worth.
