I have made predictions here before, but I don't keep track of them; they're more like trends. And only one person knew about my dream, the person I had lunch with that day.

The word "psychic" ususally builds up an automatic wall where people confuse it with the fortune tellers or hot line psychics. They completely misunderstand the ability because it's been so hyped.
Obviously, some people are more psychic than others, but it is an ABILITY that can be developed. With others, it just falls into their laps.
Often after a head injury or life-changing event.

>"a random hit no more validates some extrasensory talent ..."

No, because everyone has the ability and someone is bound to get something right. But I have high averages and I consult with three different psychiatrists who are interested in this field. Although I have seen non of them clinically, we share research and ideas. One has kept extensive files on me for 20 years, and it is with him I share my most private thoughts, occurences and predictions. Actually, through him I have met a small network of people like me, which makes me feel more connected to your reality. LOL
Because I have an extra sense I can live in that world, and often do.

>" I've written an entire symphony in my sleep.....stupid me didn't run out to the piano and write it down."

Uh huh. A lot of creativity comes from outside ourselves, (out in the ethers if you like) if you can tune into it. I'm sure you've read some biographies of the great inventors and the state they get their inventions from, mostly the dream state. I would suggest you start paying more attention to your dreams and even perhaps give yourself the suggestion you want melodies to imprint your subconscious while you sleep.

>"The other little nagging thing that gets me .... is the future seems to be set in stone."

Some things are, but I think we have the ability to change the timelines, perhaps by thought alone. I read a book once "101 Co-incidences "or something like that, that REALLY got me thinking. Unfortunately, because of the way we're brought up and taught, we DON"T think for ourselves. Any one here can attest to the fact that I am an out-of-box thinker. Yet, to my friends who know me well, I am not only normal, but somewhat remarkable. Now I'm not doing this to toot my own horn, but handling what I do from all directions makes me not only somewhat of an oddity, but an adept as well. I'd like to see other people cope with what I've had to deal with. It builds character.

> Next time you have a vivid dream, run out to the computer in the middle of the night, pop onto the habitable zone, and share your thoughts before the event truly transpires.

I won't do that because these pre-cognitive dreams are usually intense and involve aspects of my life I wouldn't post in a public forum. I only share the ones I think you folks can relate to and give you pause for thought.
This is not something I take lightly. One of the hardest things I have to do with this "gift" is to separate what I "see" versus what could be an act of indigestion or fear.
