In my reading I have read of several such occurrences, and experienced one myself. On 2 Feb 1990 I fell asleep in front of the TV and dreamed I was a journalist in Cape Town, South Africa. There was buzz about a possible speech by F.W. de Klerk in front of Parliament. I was concerned that I needed a snack on the way, and hoped that the gov't would provide donuts. Then I woke up and CNN was nagging me that de Klerk was about to address Parliament. The subject was South Africa transitioning out of apartheid.
