I pre-dreamt it… I believe the actual term is “Precognition”, where you see things into the future. I used to do this a lot. When I was younger, I was trained never to share your abilities in this realm. Mostly because people will think you are nuts.

Read moreAthena Invocation
Bestow the Owl Gift, the ability to write and communicate clearly. Show us to the burial places of mythical kings. Strike the rock with your spear. Expel the Vices from the Garden of Virtue. I call your name. Your aegis, your shield made of goat skin, produces a sound as from a myriad roaring dragons. Roar it.
