This story is absolutely TRUE ! A few weeks ago I went to bed and dozed off for a few seconds and dreamt a spider was crawling toward me over the duvet cover. I woke up with a fright but no spider was there I looked all over the room - no spider Next night I get into bed - switch on the tv and relax a little - then I see a spider crawling toward me up the duvet cover - hows that for psychic?
you seem so certain ! Yet the odds of it happening are astronomical 319,740,000 to 1 - because what are the chances that in any given decade perhaps you dream of spiders twice - so thats aproximately 1 in 1825 - then in any given 20 years I have seen a spider on a bed once so thats a 1 in 7301 chance now thats the odds of seeing a spider on any given 24 hour period that you dream it - or 13,322,500 - 1. now to check the odds of that spider appearing on the bed exactly 24 hours after you dream of one walking on the bed you multiply that by 24 and thats 319,740,000 to 1 . thats approx 20 times greater odds of winning the British national lottery (the british lottery winner is reckoned to have odds of 14000000 to 1)
