I believe it was *exactly* a download because we are in a simulation. The simulation is being run by consciousness that has a higher clock speed being able for the most part to keep the simulation from having glitches to our perception. Since the point is for us to evolve to be of higher consciousness (humility, compassion, patience, kindness, tolerance, responsibility, courtesy, magnanimity, generosity, forgiveness, love — all the platitudes/profundities) we have, and this is key, “freewill”. The future is a probability and the certainty for the most part becomes ever more probable the closer we get to real time in the simulation (freewill usually has less uncertainty effects when closer to real time but the simulation has clocking that is fast enough to handle even dramatic shifts). A near infinite number of possible variances occurred between your dream and real time simulation (a dramatic example would be a key person or persons improbably entered the building prior to real time) or that you may have had some download errors, or both. The main thing is how many of these precognitions that people like you get (mostly) right. If it wasn’t happening so often we wouldn’t have set up the collection repository. As science we know something is happening well enough to have results well outside statistical probability and, uncomfortably to science (we like solid irrefutable observation), it has a variability of fidelity that leaves mainstream science with nervous laughter and the area has an implied “mystical” aspect that creates a reluctance of discussion due to concerns about credibility, reputation and career aspirations in fields where the modeling is much less subject to uncertain variables. Materials and basic non-sentient energy run so consistently we can build reliable math models of behavior. BTW, in downloading the past or doing remote viewing a similar unexplained accuracy occurs accompanied by a similar download error variance — creating a frustratingly intriguing but embarrassing set of lab results. Some physicists will talk about it but they are nearly always in retirement or so outrageously bold they are blessed with no reputation to be concerned about — it is a career killer to be “that” physicist.
