There IS always a "but" !
I consider myself fairly sensible about things on a normal basis, but like you said, sometimes things happen that make you go....hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I think a real, frequent connection like that sounds interesting, but might not feel like a gift after a while, especially if it is a harbinger of bad things to come (mine weren't all like that, most not really negative).....and then, why would anybody want to know in advance about something bad that they are powerless to stop? I think finding out bad things can wait ! LOL
Finding out bad things can definitely wait! Unless we are talking superpowers here and you have to go and make them not happen!
But that's a whole different kettle of fish :OD
