There's a pile of scrap timber, rubble and general turds in the road opposite my work with a hand-written sign reading "Free Shed". Tell us about random, completely hatstand stuff and people you've seen

Britain has a population of about 60,003,000.
Let's assume a low average of 1 dream per person per night, and that each dream features a low average of 1 British person.
This would mean that a British person would appear in a mean average of 1 British dream per night.
Life expectancy in Britain is 79.4 years, or 29000 days.
Thus an average of 60,003,000 / 29,000 = 2069 British people die every day.
If each British person appears in a mean average of 1 British dream per night, that would mean that on an average night, the people who died that day appear in a total of 2069 British dreams.
In other words there should be over 2000 prophetic dreams of death every night.
The figure would be higher if the person didn't have to die that very day for the dream to count as prophetic, or if you tended to think of people more when they're sick.

Basically, when I dreamed that Wendy James off Transvision Vamp was giving me a blowy, it should have come true, and frankly I feel short-changed.

I always imagine Wendy James as nowdays being a drunk who screams "I used to BE SOMEBODY!"

They're mostly inferior remakes of French dreams.

The bit at the end was cut off, where you explain why what I said was wrong.

and makes you a better statistical thinker.
This is why you never see crackheads getting their palms read or buying homeopathic medicines.
