Did you consider that maybe you had recently shared experiences / conversations / whatever that triggered similar dreams? Or that you woke up and saw the facebook message before dreaming but don't remember it? Or...
You fight dogmatism precisely by trying to prove to yourself that you are wrong, not by jumping to the conclusion you like and then defending it as part of your identity, being offended when people don't believe you and so on. The latter is the actual path to dogmatism. I have walked it, most of us have, we are human. But let's try not to bullshit ourselves too much. One day I was standing in a train station. This thought came out of nowhere: "wouldn't it be weird if an empty train just passed by?". An empty train just passed by moment after. Empty trains that do not stop were not a common event at that station, it was the first time I saw one. Is this proof or even strong evidence of precognition? Of course not, there are 1000 more prosaic explanations to consider before assuming something that is so much outside of our understanding of reality. For example, I might have noticed some warning but only became aware of it at some subconscious level. Or maybe I observed 2 or 3 unusual things and my brain connected the dots. If you are a scientist, and you have a hunch, then do the experiment! But try to be rigorous, people will question your methods and your conclusions, as they should. Telmo.
