Have you ever had any premonitions that came true? I've had dreams that seem to me to be premonitions of later events. Whatever your worldview is, the fact is there IS scientific evidence for precognition based on controlled experiments. (see video below). Usually it can't be controlled in terms of when it happens. But some people evidently do have the ability to willfully access that psychic part of themselves. Perhaps it takes practice. Here's a brief article on the phenomenon and actual personal accounts of premonition in people's lives..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In 1946, a man called John Godley – then a student at Oxford University – dreamt he was reading a list of horse race winners in a newspaper and saw the names Bindal and Juladdin. The following day he checked a newspaper and found that two horses with those names were running that day. He risked a bet with a group of friends; both horses won, and the group won large sums of money.
Godley had the same experience several times over the following years. The fourth time he had such a dream, he made a written statement of his predictions (again involving two horses), which was witnessed by several people, sealed in an envelope, stamped by a post office official, and locked away until the day of the race. When this prediction came true, Godley became famous.
The standard scientific reaction would be to explain this story in terms of coincidence, exaggeration, or fraud. Many scientists are convinced that psi phenomena such as precognition do not exist. However, I am open to the existence of such phenomena. This is partly because, on occasion, I have experienced them myself. I have also had a few precognitive dreams related to sport. It’s not as though I dream about sports matches regularly. I can only recall a few such dreams. But on most of these occasions, the details of my dreams have been correct."--- https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/out-the-darkness/202107/the-possibility-precognition

- People regularly report visions of future events, including sports matches. Some studies also report an ability to predict the stock exchange.
- Many scientists accept that there is a consistent, small but significant, effect in precognition studies.
- Across science, comparative "effect sizes" are commonly accepted as reliable evidence.
