You're not having visions of the future, you're having deja vu.

On one hand, I've heard all the explanations, on the other they don't line up properly with my experiences, making it hard for me to believe. For me, the confusion after waking up from those dreams is enough to trigger a flash-bulb memory. It's not just the experience being misfiled, it's that there's supporting memories from immediately after the dream, where I consciously thought "how queer, I've never ran downstairs by the light of candles in a house I've never seen the layout of before like that", then three years later my family moves to a house that matches the exact layout of the dream, has a power outage that results in us using candles, that matches the light I saw from my dream.
For my take, I don't know if there's any science that can explain it. But my experience is that you can't change the events that appeared in the pre-experience. Whatever happened will happen -and leave you feeling dumbfounded that it did- and all you can do is ride it out.

The future is forever in motion, events that appear certain today are impossible tomorrow.

Obviously you're not seeing the future, you're just remembering things wrong.

See, the thing is it's not obvious to me. I, quite literally, have seen all the explanations, my fiance is a Psych major and I've explained this to them before.
That said the explanation doesn't really satisfy me in this case.

That you aren't satisfied by perfectly reasonable explanations just shows that you want to believe that you have some kind of magic power.

Not necessarily, mostly just shows that I don't agree with the notion my brain has misfired repeatedly when it comes to stuff I actively comment on when I wake up from a dream, and relive years after.
In any event, it's hardly a power. More "my experiences have a weird thing I don't really think has been adequately explained".

The point is that precognition (prescience being another word for it) is extremely rare when or if it ever happens if it were true, so it likely can't be replicated.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
