The para-psychological ability to see something in the future without it happening yet, most of the time it happens in one's dreams and one of the several real world extrasensory abilities.
Most
people have this already if they have abnormal subconscious and psychological
issues, but without any mental concentration or vividness of the mind, one rarely gets it. Those who are
true full psychics or half psychics can cause them to happen more often.
Premonition is mostly dream-based (you can have them when you are awake too, but daydreaming at the same time.) and one does or cannot control them.
Unless you constantly meditate every day and know how to do so correctly of course, otherwise any parapsychological ESP like precognition and premonition are by
accident in most normal
humans.
People seldom remember dreams, they will not remember having the premonition or precognition unless they have an epiphany later on and remember having it at that moment.
Goku from Dragon
Ball is shown to be capable of having ESP abilities.
Precognition and Premonition are examples. When he has bad dreams or nightmares, he has premonitions of villains that he has not personally seen yet.
When he has good dreams, he has precognition of the future, able to know what is going on without having to be personally there. This was proven when he was bed ridden with the
Heart Virus and he claimed to know what was happening even if he wasn'
t conscious half the time.
He had a nightmare of
two Saiyans (Nappa and Vegeta) attacking his wife and
son in a filler episode, it was a premonition. That's how he was able to know what they looked like
people!
Gohan, (Goku's
Son) had a premonition of Cell in a nightmare, the one who bitchslapped
Chi-Chi to death and stepped on her
neck and one-shots Piccolo and steps on his head.
