Every now and then, I have dreams that seem to come true. Not of big events, just of commonplace, probable occurences. For example, I dreamed that I was watching a tv show that I regularly watch, and at the first commercial break my mother called and we fought. My mother does call and we often argue. These are not rare events. A couple weeks after the dream, I was watching that show and at the first commercial break the phone rang. I was reminded of my dream and decided not to pick up (better safe then sorry!). Turns out it had been my mother. She left an angry message. This is just one example, but the rest are along the same lines.
Now, my dream was true, but I do not belive that I prophesized fighting my mother. For one thing, that would be the most useless form of clairvoyance I have ever heard of and I have never seen credible proof of prophets. But, what scientific explanation does exist for these deja vu like dreams? Hallucinations seem improbable. Anyone?
