I'm an atheist, so I won't fall back on religion... but I can give you at least 2 possible reasons...
1)Its a known fact that we only use a tiny percentage of our brains, what if our subconcious or the unused portion can be utilised in ways we don't fully understand? Who's to say that we don't subconciously affect what happens to us by what we think about? That is, if you don't believe you can see something before it happens, is it possible we cause something to happen by envisioning it? (That could be controversial... hmmm,I don't mean if you imagine a relative dying they're going to die... but seeing yourself working in a new place for example... or finding money in the street...)Also, we don't really understand a lot of things regarding how we die, who's to say that we don't send out subconcious 'sh*t, tragedy coming' signals to those who are close to us?
2)We could have travelled to the future, seen what had happened, had our minds wiped by alien frog creatures, but their mindwiping tissues didn't work properly and memories got stuck as dreams.
Ok... it sounds ridiculous. The point is, reason can be found in almost anything... and by saying that other people's opinions or beliefs, and their motives for having them, are devoid of all reason makes you sound not only condescending, but extremely naive.
EDIT: That was aimed at Draconic Dink by the way...
