For the Record: An Example of Precognition

For the past two weeks I have been getting visions of a wall with broken peices of mirror glued to it and arranged in patterns. I thought perhaps it was an artistic idea and considered using broken mirror in the collage I had on my wall.
I could not find any mirror and I decided broken mirror was too dangerous a material to work with, so I gave up on the idea. Never-the-less I kept seeing broken-mirror-on-the-wall-visions.

Now I am living in a new squat inside the freeway because a fire burned down my shack, collage and all. I had never been in this space before and had to clean it up quite a bit before I moved in, the same night my place burned down. The walls of my new room are covered with epoxied pieces of broken mirror, arranged in patterns. Exactly what I have been seeing in my imagination for two weeks, in fact. This sort of thing happens to me all the time, but how was I supposed to interpret that vision to mean my house would burn down? Clearly, I couldn't.

My precognative abilities, therefore, seem to function more often in my life as a form of Irony or Joke from Above. Helping me know that I shouldn't worry, because everything that happens to me is unavoidable anyways and completely predestined. I'm not sure this is beneficial to me or my survival. More often than not it leaves me with a stilted Cassandra complex. In summation, precognition is not a desireable trait from a Darwinian perspective, and most often is breeded out I would guess.
