The circumstances of an apparent episode of precognition during analysis demonstrated clearly that in fact the patient had completely forgotten details throwing an entirely different light on the matter. He had a premonition that he would, within a few minutes, meet a former sweetheart whom, he said, he had not seen for twelve years. The 'premonition' came true. What he forgot was that the preceding week he had repeatedly spoken of having seen her under conditions closely connected with the site of the encounter of which he had 'precognition'. Conflict led to the repression of the knowledge of having previously seen her, and of having spoken (in the analysis) of her.
