Jim,
What was the precognition you had?
The details are in the FOTD archives for Sep. 2001. Basically, I experienced seven consecutive nights of extremely vivid and disturbing dreams. This was on the nights of Sep 4 through Sep 10. The dreams were of crashing planes, fireballs, falling buildings, piles of mangled bodies, etc. I have never before or since had such a series of dreams. Somehow, hints of what was to happen on the 11th made an impression on my sleeping mind. I realize that this violates the law of causality. Skeptics have told me that it was one of those unlikely coincidences that happen every so often. But the doubters did not experience the dreams. I know with absolute certainty that information from the future somehow moved backward in time, or perhaps my mind moved forward in time. It makes no difference. The effect is the same. The important thing is that precognition is considered to be one of those goofy things that no rational, scientifically literate person would believe. Yet I now know that precognition, though it certainly is not an everyday event, does in fact occasionally happen. To me, this means that the macroscopic world works in some ways that are non- intuitive, just as the microscopic world does, and leads me to wonder if any of the other non-intuitive things currently considered goofy such as mental telepathy, mind-over-matter, out-of-body travel, etc. actually do exist.
