What is precognition?

Precognition refers to the alleged ability to be able to foretell the future, other than by just using inference. So it's not a matter of just knowing that something is likely to happen but actually being able to directly pick up that information. So obviously one would be much more impressed with a claim if the event that the person had dreamt about or, in some other way, claimed to have known was going to happen if it was something that was extremely unexpected, rather than something that anybody would have been able to guess anyway.
