You probably know how Youtube.com works. Somehow it presents video clip choices that are good guesses for what you might want to see, based on whichever videos you have previously clicked on or searched for (particularly recent clicks and searches). I remember something odd a few months ago. I was telling someone that one of the videos YouTube had presented in my list of suggested video choices was one that matched the very specific content of some dream I had that day (I think it was a performance of the same song I had heard in my dream that morning). I joked with the person, saying, "What, can YouTube read my mind now?"
Today something similar happened. This morning I dreamed of the rooftop dance scene in the 1961 movie West Side Story. This evening I saw in my list of suggested YouTube video choices a video of exactly that scene, a very good musical number you can watch here. Now, you might rather easily explain this coincidence if I had in recent months searched for songs from that musical, or clicked on songs from that musical. But I have not done that in more than a year, searching instead for other things on YouTube almost every day.
One hypothesis to explain the coincidence is precognition. I should keep an eye open on whether there are any further strange matches of this type.
Below we see a mysterious orb I photographed today. It's kind of semi-green.
