Are people that have deja-vu or premonitions actually gifted?

Obviously I'm not referring to the BS ficitious Final Destination series where death stalks you like crazy by magically makes inanimated objects move to kill you.

I mean having some type of high intuition when you feel something isn't right or having a nightmare (or having a vision) of something bad and coincidentally either the same thing or something similar happens. I have that happening once in a while. On a small scale, one vision was about dad's car getting stolen and it happened the following week. Another time I dreamt about a massive fallout between dad and his brother and practically the same thing in my dream happened. They haven't spoken to each other in 3 years now.

No, they aren't. No one is actually able to predict the future. We all have thoughts about the future. Sometimes those events happen, sometimes they don't. We don't pay much attention to the ones that don't.

A deja-vu simply means that something happened again. Everyone with working eyesight will have those.

But before I had that dream (and afterwards) it seemed my dad and uncle were getting along great. Then 2 weeks after the dream, it all changed in a day. They stopped talking to each other.
With the deja-vu I always get the feeling that I've seen that happening before but can't remember it or I was never present when it happened.

No. The opposite
