I have had the ability to see Ahead sometimes by seconds or minutes or longer. First time it happened I was in 7th grade and I had a dream where I walk into my 2nd hour class room and the desks were two deep in a horseshoe formation. I was front row left side three desks in. I sit down and when the bell rings a girl in 2nd row nearest the teacher drops her books to the floor accidentally and at that I woke up. Two weeks later that event happened exactly as I saw. In 2009 my wife worked at the same company I worked for just as a evening janitor. Anyway her supervisor who was a black lady who had some race issues with us white people. Well my wife shared something she had accidentally done but fixed. Her boss took what she said and twisted it and in my dream my wife is called into hr where her supervisor and their boss along with hr gal and the other employee involved were there and her supervisor betrays her confidence and gets her in trouble and my wife quits and leaves in tears. That was a Thursday morning and I told her about my dream. The next day Friday noon, my wife being there for less than an hour gets called into hr and pretty much everything I saw came to pass. By me telling her the day before she was Ready for it and instead of leaving in tears she left resolute and strong. There are countless other examples but you get the idea.

Or, he could have received a telepathic subliminal suggestion to have a Sprite, even though his usual was a Coke. That's the problem with evaluating paranormal events. In this case, it is a choice between precognition and telepathic suggestion.
