The idea that precognitive dreams are real, and that the future loops back to shape the present.
Eric Wargo's Time Loops (2018) makes the strongest version of the precognition claim: that dreams sometimes seem to know the future because, in some sense, the future loops back to shape the present. Wargo is a careful collector of detailed cases, and the book is full of dream accounts that are genuinely hard to shrug off.
The skeptic's reply is equally strong: precognition has never held up under controlled test, and memory is famously reconstructive — after the fact, a vague dream gets remembered as a prophecy. Time Loops is best read as the most articulate statement of a claim that, so far, the laboratory has not been able to confirm.
The meaning
Wargo collects striking, detailed cases where a dream appears to match a later event too closely to ignore.
The skeptic
Precognition has never held up under controlled test. Memory is famously reconstructive, and after the fact matches get remembered as prophecies.
