eh, skallas, I don’t think confirmation bias is the right diagnosis. Comparing mine, id’s, Melinka’s, and a few other’s experiences (which are all remarkably similar) you’ll note that this is not a conscious act. Nobody walks around saying "I’m gonna predict the future soon, you just wait and see"–instead something always seems to trigger it and it just comes upon you.
nicwolff, I don’t think anybody here is seriously claiming to be able to predict the future. In my case, after careful review, I’m often able to point out important differences between the dream and the actual event or there’ll be gaps leading to an overlap. I’m sure you’re very proud of your "cold rationality" and are always eager to flaunt it but it in this case it’s not helpful at all.
Anyways, I’d be curious if there was a name for this phenomenom. It’s just one of those strange little things that keep you up at night…
