Many other concerns, aside, let's keep in mind the self-fulling prophecy and the fallacy of false cause, which is to say that if we go looking for these kinds of disasters, expecting them, "foreseeing" them, and they happen: Look! I Proved It!
Which is NOT to say that such things as prophetic dreams are unreal, or all faulty attribution cases, only that we have to be Very careful how we go about testing for them.
