Trying to avoid the inevitable in pre-cognitive dream

[ancient_one]

When I was married long ago, my wife had a dream that she could not deal with, and went way beyond her scientific training.  Here is how I described it at the time.
 
"She did have one odd dream when I knew her. It was totally of
circumstances that made no sense to her at the time.  In fact, she had
not told me about this dream- odd as it seemed- until she started seeing
certain parts of it happening in real life.  Long story short, it
involved a car crash that we were in. But she could not resolve the
circumstances of the crash. We were with people she did not know at the
time, on a road we seldom drove- and we were not driving.  We were
getting a ride from people I knew, but she had not met yet.  Anyway,
somewhere in the night she realized her dream was starting to happen. She totally freaked
out and made us drive instead of getting a ride from my friends- so we
would not be in the circumstance she had dreamed.  Even so, we did
find ourselves on that same road on the trip going home.  And although
we made it home in one piece, it was not without a close call.  Someone
came close to hitting us, pulling out into traffic after not coming to a
full stop from a side road.  Maybe my friend would not have seen this
car if he had been driving.  Maybe her having told me about it just made me extra
alert to people doing odd things. . ."

Are you familiar with the movie Final Destination?

Same concept. Pretty freaky when it actually happens though...or pretty useful, whichever way you look at it. I get deja vu all the time, but that's something entirely different.

What did you mean by your wife's scientific training though?

She was heavily into a science related major in college, and is now a professor somewhere out there. Even back then though, you had to be able to prove something to her in a way that would not go against her training.  This sort of dream freaked he out a bit.
