Premonition?
Back in the 1980's my wife and I were driving home from a concert at the Hammersmith Palais (I think that was the venue). A guy stepped out in front of a car travelling in the opposite direction and went head first through the windscreen. We stopped to help and I did what I could until the the emergency services arrived. The ambulance loaded the patient, he didn't die and was unconscious with suspected spinal injuries.
We waited to give a statement to the police and whilst waiting I did my best to console the uninjured car driver. She was hysterical and I assured her that it wasn't her fault and that the guy was still alive.
She kept screaming "No. You don't understand."
She eventually explained that she had been sleeping an hour earlier and had dreamt this exact scenario.
She even said, in the style of The Wizard of Oz, "...and you were there too."
Stress reaction playing tricks on the mind? I dunno...

yep - trauma
it's just the brain rebooting itself, bit like when you come out of an epelyptic fit or seizure, takes a while for the mind to come back on line and into the present, that's all.

My wife reminded me...
...that the driver said she mentioned it to her flatmate before leaving home that night.
If that was true, then perhaps not a stress reaction? I dunno. I'm quite a sceptical person.

it wasn't true
it was a false memory - premonitions are a common way in which the mind deals with guilt, either real or fancied.

Hmm...
...what about a 'premonition' that is confirmed as being mentioned to another person before an event occurs? I am a bit sceptical. but as a paramedic I get to hear some strange things.
