12:26 - I had one of these too, but this is more just deja vu, not a premonition. If you can't remember it until it happens, then you didn't actually foretell anything, you just have this feeling that you knew this would happen after it already happened, which is not very useful. I had this happen once when I was a kid. It was a very strong sense that I saw this exact scene from this exact point of view before, but it was happening right now. It is often related to being tired or not getting enough sleep. If you are awake too long, your mind can start to make crap up, because during sleep we process things that happened to us during the day. However if we avoid sleep, our brains may try to start this process while we're awake still. We often make up stories and events and things happening as we process, but they tend to be related to something we've seen before, most often something we've seen that very day. You can actually experiment with this, if you do something a lot during the day, then go to sleep, you're more likely to dream of that very thing. Playing a ton of one video game until you're exhausted is a good way to dream about that very video game. I had this happen a lot. The trippiest part is that I often imagine seeing the world through that very interface and then a sudden realization that wait, there is no interface in real life. I had a funny one in college when I spent an entire day playing starcraft up until very very late in the night, and I was super tired. I went down to my gfs room in the dorm, she was still up, preparing to go to bed doing stuff still, but I immediately fell asleep the moment I lay down on the bed. She wanted to ask me something so she tried to wake me after a few minutes of me being asleep, and still sleeping, I told her "we need to build more anti-air". Mind you I was asleep still, I only woke up like half a minute later at the sound of her laughing at me talking about starcraft in my sleep. The same thing also happened to me a lot when I had a really crap call center job where I had to repeat the same lines over and over again. Those just get stuck in your head and in my case I dreamt a lot about work.
