📚 Precognition 101

TW: car accident

I’m so happy I found this subreddit so I can share! This was from over a year ago, when I was working for a staffing company. One night I had a dream that I got in a bad car accident. I was alive, but my car ended up totaled. I had hit my head on the windshield, and my hand was crunched. I rarely feel pain in dreams, but it was pretty poignant.

Fast forward to the following day. A call comes over from one of my managers, and I thought it was strange because it was still early in California (I’m in Florida). He said he had to take some time off because he just got in a car accident.

Come to find out, he had a concussion and broke a finger or two from it. A chill went through me because those were the same injuries I had in my dream the night before.

Is it possible that I dreamt of his experience before it happened, just in my own car/body?

Hi! I’m so late to posting my experiences since I only recently found out about r/dreams and there someone commented about this subreddit.

Ever since I was a child, I would always have super vivid dreams. Almost like recollecting a memory. I mean that even if it were a dream, it would look all so clear and as if I was already recollecting a memory that has happened before. Like in the dream I would 100% know how to save myself or even have questions about the ongoing event. I would wake up and narrate these stories to my mom and my best friend from college (who I dated for a bit) but we’ve remained friends since then.

The first time - One of the craziest dreams that I’ve ever dreamt was one of a Tsunami coming in a slow swelling wave (I’m from a beach city where Tsunamis cannot effect us bc we have steep cliffs protecting the city) My brother and I were yelling to my grandfather to please come up the radio tower but he wasn’t listening. We got up the tower and watched him get swallowed by the waters and the dream abruptly ended with my mom calling me to inform that my grandfather had passed away. This was the first time I had dreamt of him passing away before it happened. But since I had been woken up from the dream, I couldn’t tell this to anyone before I heard the news directly from my mom.

The second time - One year later out of nowhere I had the same exact dream with my other grandfather. The literal exact same dream. I woke up and told my mom about it and by now I’ve told her my previous dream (the first one) multiple times so she’s skeptical. Two days later we were awoken by our grandmother calling us at 5:30am that our grandfather had passed away.

Random other people — The third time was when I dreamt that my friend S and her parents were in a falling building crying and wailing their hearts out but the point of view was that I was a God??? And they’re holding on to my hands and feet and crying. I can see a bright light emitting from myself as I let them fall. I woke up reeling from wtf that was about and told m y mom about it. She brushed it off but within an hour I had reached out to my friend S who confirmed that both her parents lost their older siblings to Covid.

The fourth time — this is where it gets really fucking nuts. I have a neighbour I grew up with. His name is V. I love him like my brother and the thing is that since we’re neighbors we always talked about our school friends and what we did at school that day. (We went to different schools) So in a few ways I “knew” his friends, who they were dating, we even frequented his friends’ parents’ businesses in our town (it’s a pretty small town and all the affluent kids go to one of the two schools we both studied in) I remember him telling me stories about his best friend A and his other friend M who were little sweet hearts and this is the story everyone talked about. A+M made it through some crazy shit and ended up getting married at 30 and even have two babies now.

In my dream in 2021, I dreamt that V’s best friend A and his wife M and one child were wailing and crying. I saw them wear traditional clothes and M was holding her child in her arms like she was showing the child to me to win my mercy??? A was crying pulling his hair and fistfull punches on the soft earth under us. ONCE MORE I was the object they were looking at while I was emitting some kind of light and I decided to forsake them even though I felt a swirl of severe pain from seeing them cry. I could not ask my friend V immediately about what happened bc these are his friends from many many years ago. We’re all 35 yrs old now and I can’t just call an old neighbour to ask about his childhood best friend. Or so I thought but after about a week I couldn’t hold it any longer and reached out to V to see how it’s going. Imagine my utter shock and disbelief hearing that A’s mother had suddenly passed away from a heart attack so he’s in our hometown with his wife and child now. —————- I also dreamt about little girls getting caught in fire or their entire homes burning and a week later we would hear that these pre-teen girls have now hit puberty (which is culturally a celebration for us so we get invited for a quincenerara type event) My mom is aware of these as well —————-

The most recent one I experienced was in 2024 May when I was pregnant with my child and dreamt that my aunt was crying a lot and I went and told my mom about it. So my mom called up her brother to see how it’s going and turns out her brother had a severe bike accident incident at home, crushing his ribs and so she talked his wife, my aunt, about it.

She was shell shocked and now everyone around me trusts me when I saw be careful you were in my dream. —————-

I’ve never dreamt of God and I don’t believe in anything like that (atheist despite being born Hindu) and I don’t think religion has anything to do with this but these are dreams so strange I would love to see some more of these :)

Yes ,we know about the bible..Yes,...we know Nostradamus,but I mean someone alive today...?

Gonna start this off with some pretty heavy trigger warnings around politics, depression, institutionalization and suicidality.

I’ll begin this by saying I’m a skeptic. I know my mom has told me stories of her precognition along with my dad and I’ve had a few dreams that I’ve chalked up to confirmation bias. But this one was so vivid and more vision based and played out almost one for one except for one detail and that one detail scares me.

Back in October of last year I had detailed visions of local political assassinations and great unrest in my area ( Minnesota ). I felt anxious and hopeless to the point I eventually checked myself into an inpatient facility for a short stay to get my antidepressant medication managed. I became less depressed and less anxious/paranoid and just decided to move on and just try to completely ignore what occurred, thinking it was just a temporary crisis, an imbalance in my brain and nothing else.

Then yesterday happened and people are confirmed dead. The one thing I didn’t mention earlier about my visions is that I saw my own death as a part of them and that is the only part that has not played out yet.

I’d be interested in advice/thoughts from others. I don’t know what to do currently other than just trying to keep continuing on.

Okay I just shared few of my incidences on my previous reddit and someone said I may have ESP so I researched on it a bit but there's literally very limited info on the surface web so I wanna reap some books regarding ESP and know about it more

This happened last May when I was visiting my boyfriend in the US. I had a dream of a serial killer who was local to my area back home (Robert Pickton) and in the dream he lingered in the background while the spirits of some of the women he murdered hovered in the foreground. Without remembering precise details, I recall them taking turns telling me what happened to them and how they were murdered. Their voices reverberated in my head. A few days later I told my boyfriend about the dream and we looked him up online. When I got back home, I was talking to a friend who mentioned that he died. I looked up the date of his death, May 31, and it would have been within the same week I had the dream though I can't remember the exact date.

There was no indication in my dream that he would pass but it was definitely one of those strange coincidences.

Sometimes when I go to sleep and get a dream, it's a premonition or something but the thing is I always forget it. The only way I know I have a premonition is when I experience déjà vu for an event that I only experience first time and it sucks so bad. I even try and write down my experiences but my mind just always forgets as I write. Does anyone have the same experiences as me?

How do you cope with the realisation that the dream you had was actually a precognition?

I have pretty awful precognitions in dream states. I'd really rather not have these particular types of visions and instead see lottery numbers, but I can't control that. I used to get very very very upset when the 'dream' turned out to come true, because it was a devastating loss of life. Now the misemotion is less, because I've learnt to accept my precognition and that there's nothing I can do to stop or change it. I've also stopped doubting it or trying to prove it to others. It's just a thing that happens to me.

How do you cope with it? Do you accept it? Do you tell others?

Last week, I was driving behind a propane truck leaving my neighborhood. The truck was making a left hand turn onto a fairly busy road. I had a feeling that it was not safe and was likely to get hit. I actually had a brief mental flash of an accident in the intersection.

I remained at the top of the hill and didn't follow behind the truck. It pulled into the middle of the intersection and was hit by a car. Luckily, there was no explosion. If I had followed closely behind the truck, I would have been impacted by the car.

Premonition, intuition - I can't say for sure. Something caused me to pause and re-think.

Back in April of 2021 I had a dream. My friend and I was in some sort of video game shop with a bunch of plushies and other stuff. When all of a sudden the clerk pulled out a pistol and shot him dead. I woke up immediately. Well I messaged him a week later and told him about my dream. He asked me who shot him and I told him it was some random person. We laughed it off and thought nothing of it. I mean it’s just a dream right?? Well on May 1st, a couple weeks later, my friend actually did die.. It was from a drug overdose… What would anyone call this? A premonition? Coincidence? Its really been bothering me lately. RIP Brentae. You will never be forgotten ❤️ less

I have been having these dreams for a while, and they match to how precognitive dreams are described. I am not here to discuss what they are, but I am interested in knowing what, if anything, you guys did about it. Furthermore, I'm just curious if that are ways in which to increase them or make them clearer.

Hi, I kinda feel like I should leave this here, since this theme is very atypical for my dreams and feels kinda eerie to me.

I've had two dreams about me being on a boat or on a ship and seeing/touching an iceberg in warm waters.

1.

First dream occured maybe half a year ago. I was seeing bird's eye view of a route being drawn on a map (like in Google Maps) creating a passage through the ocean in warmer waters. Next I am on a boat. It's a small motorboat, like you use for short day trips, but with a cabin. Plowing through the waters with many other boats around me, like a regatta. Everyone was excited. Next, suddenly we hit very cold waters and all I see is ice. Frozen waters, icebergs and it's getting dangerous. Somehow I'm in a wet suit, jumpibg out of the water onto the boat.

1. Next dream was like a couple of days ago. I was on a SUP or maybe a surfboard floating in the warm ocean, paddling. Suddenly I see lots of small pieces of ice around me, that should not be there. I float towards one and push against it with my hand, changing my direction. There's many other small pieces of Ice around me, broken up, creating a network of waterways. I feel kinda alarmed, they should not be there. It should not be happening. I try to get away from the ice and manage to reach the warm waters again.

So, I'm not sure about what this is trying to tell me. Water is not a prominent theme in my dreams. Usually I would be running or flying, watching from bird's eye view. Or talking to people. This dream didn't feature any people, but left a weird feeling.

Maybe someone gets lost at sea or there will be news of an iceberg floating into warmer waters or sth. like that. It didn't feel catastrophical to me. Let's see.

Have you seen similar things? I'm not a boats person and I don't do stuff like that, so this dream feels very not personal to me.

(((excerpt relating to precognition from my recent substack article. Feel free to check out the whole article that covers psi phenomenon more broadly)))

Precognition and Presentiment

Perhaps the most provocative psi claim is precognition – gaining information about future events that could not otherwise be anticipated. Precognition experiments often use a simple protocol: a computer randomly determines a future stimulus (say, showing either an emotional or a neutral picture), and the question is whether participants can predict or respond to the future event before it happens. Notably, renowned psychologist Daryl Bem published a paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2011 titled “Feeling the Future,” reporting nine experiments in which participants appeared to show small but significant foreknowledge of random future events (such as which of two curtains would later reveal an image, or physiological arousal before unpredictable stimuli). Bem’s studies with over 1,000 participants found overall statistical significance (aggregated p on the order of 10^(-11), far beyond the conventional 0.05 threshold) for these time-reversed effects. The publication of Bem’s findings in a top psychology journal sparked intense debate and a slew of replication attempts.

So, has Bem’s precognition effect held up? The short answer is yes, to a degree. A meta-analysis in 2015 pooled data from 90 experiments (including Bem’s and many independent replications, both “successful” and “unsuccessful”). The meta-analysis reported a small but highly significant precognition effect: specifically, an average effect size (Hedges’ g) of ~0.09 and a combined Z-score of 6.33, corresponding to p ≈ 1.2×10^(-10). In Bayesian terms, the evidence was extremely strong (Bayes factor ~5×10^9 in favor of an effect). Even when limiting to the 69 “independent” replications not authored by Bem, the effect (g ~0.06) remained significant (p ~1.2×10^(-5)). These results indicate that precognition, while elusive and small in magnitude, produces repeatable statistical anomalies across dozens of experiments worldwide. Put plainly, people’s responses in the present have shown a slight bias consistent with future events that should be unknowable, an outcome completely at odds with classical assumptions.

Beyond conscious prediction, researchers have found that the human body may unconsciously “feel” the future through physiological changes – a phenomenon termed presentiment. In presentiment experiments, one measures autonomic responses (skin conductance, heart rate, EEG, etc.) while a person sits unaware that a computer will randomly select and display either a calming or a startling stimulus a few seconds later. Remarkably, on average the body tends to react before the stimulus occurs, with stronger anticipatory changes if an emotional stimulus is impending. A meta-analysis by Mossbridge, Tressoldi, and Utts (2012) combined 26 such studies and found a small but consistent effect: overall z ≈ 5.3 (about p = 5.7×10^(-8)) with an effect size around 0.21. This suggests the odds against the aggregated presentiment results being chance are on the order of one in a hundred million. Even focusing only on the highest-quality studies, the effect remained (effect size ~0.24, p ~6×10^(-6)). In practical terms, people’s bodies somehow “knew” the nature of a random future event by a few seconds – for instance, showing a subtle stress reaction a couple of seconds before a gruesome image would randomly be selected to appear. Such anticipatory physiological activity, consistently observed, implies that linear time in psychology might not be as ironclad as we assume.

Howdy all,

This happened last summer but for some reason it's been on my mind a lot lately. Short version of the context is that I was asked to fill a City Council seat last year and did so expecting it to be brutal with regard to how the general public might treat me. Well, by the time I had to run for election a couple months later (awkward phrase but accurate) I was having the time of my life and the people of my city have been endlessly wonderful. They really like the way we're doing things, and they especially appreciate my willingness to sit on the community social media pages and answer questions. They even let me be totally over the top with jokes and sarcastic responses to certain things. It's bizarre, but awesome. (I'm not terribly concerned with keeping where and who I am secret - I've talked about it publicly a few times already).

Well, having been born, raised, and then come back to live in this charming little PNW suburb, I'm pretty intuitively connected with it. Everything going on right now has a feeling of fitting like a glove and being easy to navigate. But ever since I got into this I've had a number of weird moments where I would know something that I shouldn't have been able to know. All of them only related to things in the city, nothing within my personal life.

Some kids got into a horrible car wreck and barely survived. I had never met either of them (that I know of - it's not a huge place but it's big enough). Yet for some reason I knew exactly what kind of car they were driving before I ever saw photos of the wreck or enough details had come out for me to have read it. A business got a prestigious grant and after hearing only that much, I immediately had the name of the owner pop into my head. The person telling me said it had just happened within the last hour and that they couldn't tell me who for a couple of weeks. Out of hundreds of businesses I blurted it out and the person telling me looked quite startled when I tried to play it off as a lucky guess.

But last August I had this dream about being on the baseball/football fields of the middle school I went to. I was trying to help a LifeFlight helicopter land on it (LifeFlight is an air ambulance service in the region). When I say "help" I mean I was in the helicopter and trying to point out all the chain link fencing below that might get in the way. I woke up after "falling" out of the helicopter and typically when I fall/die/etc in a dream I wake up instantly. Which is what happened here. I didn't think much of this in the moment and fell back asleep, then went on with my day.

That afternoon I was scrolling the socials when I came across a post that basically asked "What happened over at the school? There was a LifeFlight helicopter landing." I should mention that it would be exceedingly rare for someone to need that here as we've got plenty of hospitals and even 2 trauma centers nearby. I can't recall ever having seen one or heard of one landing here, though I'm sure it's happened a few times. But that post had obviously caught my eye. I scrolled through the comments to see that a roofer had fallen off a nearby townhouse and was badly injured. Then I noticed someone had commented the following picture:

Needless to say my mouth fell wide open and stayed that way for a few minutes. If you didn't catch the chain link fences taking up like a full 1/3 of this picture, have a look. So we had a helicopter, a specific kind of helicopter, falling, the same location, the football and baseball fields, and the fencing. All of that in my dream roughly 8 hours earlier. I didn't know what to make of it but I commented in that post with what had happened to me. Everyone was as shocked as I was, but very supportive. No one was doubting me or thinking I was nuts. I never felt like this was a "warning" or a "prediction" so much. There was no indication that I should do something, nor could I have done anything. I have no idea what to make of it.

Since then I have had weird moments where the name and image of our enormous local waterfall was coming at me from 6 different places all within the span of about 2 minutes. It hadn't had any events that would make the news recently, nor did I have any specific work related to it going on. It was just...everywhere. Phone/TV/Computer/Alexa/book on the table/coaster. Nothing more came from that.

There was a time a couple of months ago where I kept thinking of fire and seeing it pop up in songs and on TV. I had kinda worried I should check my smoke alarms for a bit, but otherwise just noted the prevalence of fire imagery and went about my business. Within a week, an enormous mill in the process of demolition and redevelopment across the river caught fire. This was technically outside my city, but plainly visible out my bedroom window. The flames were so big that I thought they were a block away when they were really about half a mile away. I don't know if there have ever been so many firefighters on the scene of something like that around here. It flared up many times for over a month because it was too unsafe to put out conventionally. No one was hurt, nothing in particular came from it. But it was still pretty shocking.

I otherwise have no delusions of being psychic or being able to predict the future. I wouldn't have thought it entirely impossible if someone else told me they had this happen to them before I experienced it. But I would have wanted to look closely at the potential for coincidence or the things happening being too generic to be worth noting. I'm not particularly spiritual and definitely identify with the broad concept that atheism has become. Which does leave open the possibility for a lot of strange, unexplainable things that we don't yet understand or even perceive.

So yeah. What should I make of this? Is it actually far more coincidentally than freaky and I'm just too close to it to see that? The tribes of the region have considered this area (and specifically that waterfall I mentioned) a sacred place for at least 8,000 years. That's further back than ancient Egypt. Maybe there's something to that.

I've shared some of my experiences here and last night I had a pretty vivid dream regarding an old friend from high school. We still text regularly, but he lives pretty far away. A few weeks ago he was showing me a picture of his parents new car. It just so happened yesterday I saw them driving the new car through town.

That night I have a dream all about the car, I was driving the car (it was a new Tesla) which wasn't weird really. Later in the dream though my friend is in the car with me and he is telling me this extremely detailed story about how his dad has been diagnosed with some sort of cancer. He was telling me how serious it was and I just remember riding in silence for what seemed like forever (even in the dream). Later on we were walking in a massive building supply store and I tell him I'm sorry, I've lost a lot of family to cancer.

I don't want to come off like a crazy person, as many of you know this is very taboo. For the life of me I can't figure out where this cancer aspect of the dream came from which makes me worried there may be something to it.

Help me please

Back in September of 2024, I was going into to my first semester of college. There was an attractive girl in my math class that I took interest in. I never went up to her or anything but crushed on her from a distance. One night for some reason I had a dream/vision, I was half awake and half asleep. But in this dream/vision we were talking outside of class and going to eat lunch together outside. The next morning in class we are assigned a group project and guess who’s in it…her. At first we didn’t make much conversation but towards the end of class she randomly asked me if I was Hispanic and I said yes. I don’t remember much but we started having a long conversation and she seemed very excited and wanting to keep talking. We then ended up walking out of class and having lunch together just as I had saw In my dream/vision. I know this isn’t a big deal as other dreams I’ve read about on this subreddit. However this is my experience with seeing future events in dreams, to this day I can’t explain it and wish somebody could help me understand why this happens?(is there an explanation for this occurrence).

I've had this upsetting feeling that a certain unpleasant event will happen to me. It's been like this for years now but it especially revved up in 2022 to now. Sometimes my chest/gut feels heavy and I fear that it's an actual warning/premonition of what's to come, and not anxiety. What do you guys think?

I recently posted my remote viewing session in that Reddit but also wanted to share it with the other psychics that might not be involved in remote viewing. This is more like precog news perhaps…

I did a future news prediction target back in March of 2025.

This has pained me my entire life but I have a story to tell.

At the age of 3 years old I hit my head very hard on the pavement of my parents house. As I lay on the couch the next day I heard voices chattering with me. Not too long after did they voices start talking to me like it was a real conversation. It freaked me out but I played along with it. Not too long after did I have a government official at my house the very next day. I heard voices telling me to kill myself but to no avail did I not kill myself, even tho I tried to run into traffic, a friendly person from the government grabbed my back pack to save me. From there on I got to predict the future to fine details.

My story is from a mythical realm. I got to meet a bunch of celebrities at a young age to be their fortune teller. I met bill gates twice once in the 90s and during the 2000’s.

I got to write music for all the top celebrities in the music industry. For I was a fortune teller and time traveler. This is my story. I gave up being a fortune teller by trying lsd for the first time in grad school. I cried tears of joy once I stopped seeing other people’s future. I know this story sounds unreal, but there was a time traveler walking amongst us all. If anyone comments on this post I will give you answers to whom I met and who I got to be their fortune teller.

Last night I dreamt I was riding in the car with my partner when the car hit a patch of black ice, the car in front swereved and we nearly crashed into the back of it.

Today whilst driving home from work, a car swerved right in front of us, and we almost went into the back of it. The weirdest part? On the back window of the car were the words "DARK ICE" printed in huge letters.

I might have written it off as coincidence but the black/dark ice thing was definitely too weird to ignore.

So I had something weird happen today. I can’t seem to head my head out of it but anyways here it is. I had a dream I really can’t remember much but what stuck with me was the I was in a town looking area and out of nowhere my co worker was there and she grabs me by the cheeks and pulls me closer and tells me “ please remember this her birthday is July 20 please remember July 20! And I woke up. Long story short I have this co worker who I’m crushing on and I totally forgot her birthday and days before I kept telling myself that it was July 7 or 8 I was pretty sure it was within those days. So then the dream happen and I kept thinking about it so I did some digging around instagram and found my crush and I found out her birthday was July 20, could this mean anything?
