People who believe dreams have predictive power are reinforced in their delusion by things like this.

I worry about Snowball getting hit by a car. He's not altogether a tame kitty, except with me, and I know he wanders a bit when occasionally I can't catch him for the night (by day he lays about the house and deck eating and sleeping). Last night I dreamed he was hit by a car and was mewing pitifully in his final agonies on the roadside - awful dream! This morning coming back from grocery shopping, someone's poor kitty was laying dead on the side of the road near my home, just where I pictured the dying Snowball.

Aha! My dream predicted that! Wrong cat, but the gist is true!

I know, of course, that there is a small feral colony nearby - probably Snowball's origin, and possibly where he goes when I can't find him, and likely the home of today's unfortunate victim.
