Thread: A Guy In Spain Dreamed The Pope Would Be Named Francis A Month Ago

My opinion:

Situation 1 (the pope):

One sentence. About an event that happened to other person. Who is spanish...and dreamed about the 4th most common spanish name. And above all that: I'm sure Pope wouldn't resign and tell the media all in a interval of around 8 hours (which is around the space of time between the tweet and the first news about the resignation). So one thing is clear: he didn't had any precognition dream about the pope resigning. At most, he had one about it showing up in the news.

Situation 2 (yours):

You dreamed that your mom was looking for your father in your wedding. Just after you got engaged. You had a dream with an anxiety theme, the most common type of dream. You didn't dream about cancer, or death. You just dreamed that one person was missing.

How is it safe to say that these are precognitions and not coincidences? Coincidences like this happen in the thousands every day due the natural characteristics of our dream content. On what basis do we rule out coincidence in this case? Careful analysis or unreliable intuition?
