This has happened to me too. I'll dream an every-day scene and then it will happen. Not necessarily that day, but sometime in the future.
You are talking to the wrong people.

James' Randi's 1 million dollar challenge.
"At JREF, we offer a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. The JREF does not involve itself in the testing procedure, other than helping to design the protocol and approving the conditions under which a test will take place. All tests are designed with the participation and approval of the applicant. In most cases, the applicant will be asked to perform a relatively simple preliminary test of the claim, which if successful, will be followed by the formal test. Preliminary tests are usually conducted by associates of the JREF at the site where the applicant lives. Upon success in the preliminary testing process, the "applicant" becomes a "claimant.""

Your not Psychic, this happens to a lot of people (me as well)
It's kind of a premonition but not really. Mine happen every week or so,
No one is sure what it is because science has never been able to explain it.
Science hasn't been able to explain a lot of things about sleep, especially dreaming.
Whatever phenomenological idea you want to give it, it happens but it doesn't make you
Psychic. It is interesting though, I have tried to change the future when I know that something will happen next (like I WILL look to the left) so instead I'll look to the right. Just don't mention it to too many people and you won't be thought of as crazy
Good Luck!

I've had the same thing since the 3rd grade. I can never really use it for some practical purpose but I've always had long bouts of "deja vu." There are many different answers to how and why with this sort of thing but it's never solid and you need to be very open to different explanations. There are several societies that have been around since the 19th century that explore these phenomena. It's interesting to research but you have to meddle through all the different theories.
That is because Randi knows it doesn't exist.SomeUnregPunk said:
OP: Seriously, ESP does not exist.
its called de-ja-vu (cant spell), in dream form i have had almost incapacitating bouts of it, I know how disturbing that feeling can be. but after a little research... it is to do with how the brain processes its experiences of the world and how memory works.
contrary to popular belief the role of the hippocampus (the bit of the brain that deals with memory)
is not to remember stuff, but to decide which stuff to forget. every day everything you see, smell, hear etc. is stored even if your concious mind is unaware of it. the process of your hippocampus sorting through what to keep and what to ditch is your dreams. however a little like deleting stuff from your hard drive things in your memory don't get removed completely right away "just in case". but the storage of this residual information is not as accurate, so when combined with things happening at the time it can seem like you have dreamt an experience or been to a place you have never heard of. this is the result of new memories merging with the old ones that have not been fully "deleted"
if you are interested I recommend reading up on it, my explanation is very basic and many professionals would say I have explained it badly but its late i've been drinking and didn't fancy writing a dissertation on a forum
I wont comment on organised religion it'd probably get me banned, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.
more people should read the bible though, there's no quicker way to become an atheist than reading it cover to cover.

I get this too. I usually have dreams about common things like having a conversation with my mum and maybe a month or so later it'll happen exactly how I drempt it. It's usually only about 10 seconds of conversation but it's still creepy. I think it's just that you know these people and situsations so well that you're dreaming about what you think will happen and you're just very accurate about it rather than you're pyschic.
Using my amazing psychic powers, I think I shall idly spin my pen around my fingers in my Uni lectures tomorrow.
See how it's done? You know your classes and your home really well, better than you can ever consiously recall. You also know what actions you perform while bored and not otherwise engaged. Put the two together, and your brain can very easily dream about performing idle tasks in a place you know well.
Though if you ever do dream of finding a $20 note in an obscure place, you may as well take a peak there. Worst case, you don't find the note. (Actually- worst case, you find bees. Lots of bees.)

You are probably not psychic you are most likely just dreaming about something that you know you will do. Remember:variety is the spice of life.I am sure if you did something different every now and again this might stop or at least get more interesting.
Either you're subconsciously influenced to do things that correspond to parts of your dreams, or your dreams are ambiguous enough for you to 'remember' them later because of some similarly ambiguous trigger. Possibly a mix of the two.
It's either that or demonic possession. I think exercise or something alleviates it.

No, you're not psychic.Hectix777 said:
No there's no magic involved.
No you don't have precognition nor are you possessed,.
As you said: "Idle task"
Most dreams are of the mundane. You may very well have a 'screen shot' of a generic idle task and then you impose something over the top of that memory, changing what it was and then convincing yourself its precognition.
Memory is misleading at best, completely unreliable at worst.
cool but no i dont think so.
its deja vu, and as i understand its a delay between what your brain thinks it sees and what it actually sees, and if that image is extremely similar to a dream then your brain thinks it already happened.
think of it as an organic 'bug' or glitch.
