But premonitions make just as little sense and are even more easily explained away as a trick of the mind.

I think a lot of it is confirmation bias. I mean, there are plenty of times I've thought about something randomly and its happened soon after. But what about all the times you think about something and it doesn't happen? With all of the thousands of times you think about random stuff each day, some of it is bound to happen.

Well premonitions isn't just thinking something happens, really. I had quite a few dreams in which things afterwards happened. In one of those short dream, I saw a women and she gave me a keychain gift... A little later I met this person. And she gave me that exact same gift (a holographic keychain from her vacation in NY).

So, I didn't know the person, saw her in detail in my dream and she gave me that exact keychain as I seen in my dream. Now someone would say it's coincidence but really... Can the brain randomly piece up genetics to form this exact person and then piece up the exact event and exact object like this? There was nothing in my life at that moment to even remotely put up those things together and I have never seen this person before! There is no explanation for this.

I'm not going to convince anyone, it's only an annecdote and it weighs no proof, sadly because there is no way to verify this... But please don't try to convince me otherwise unless you have a very good explanation. To me, it was just too precise to be something random. All I can say is that unless it happened to you, you simply cannot understand or believe, and that's fine. I'm not here to impress or prove anything to anyone.
