Summary

Could human dreams really, in some way, predict the future? At first, it sounds like the stuff of science fiction... but the real-life answer may not be as clear-cut as the plot of a sci-fi blockbuster.

Join Ben, Matt and Noel as they search for a scientific take on precognition in the second part of this two-part series.
