Is a Premonition merely a coincidence?

[DerekMartletts]

Several times a month, I am met with a peculiar experience. I will encounter while dreaming someone I then go on to meet the following day (and it is always the following day never later) This baffling phenomena would not occasion a mention, were it not for the fact that those persons I meet in advance during my sleeping life have for the most part, been lost to me by many years of absence. The last episode saw me reunited with an chum I had not seen in over thirty long years.
What on earth could lie behind these strange precognitions?
