I'm ready to take the million dollar challenge!

I've mentioned my power in passing in other threads, but I wasn't yet ready to take the million dollar challenge. I had to devise an acceptable protocol. After all, one must have definite repeatable unmistakable results.

It's not a question of faith versus science on a philosophical level. It's whether I can reliably produce the claimed results, whatever the explanation.

I'm ready to be tested now.

I frequently have precognitive dreams. I cannot prove that I really dreamt something of course, but if I make a prediction upon waking that I claim is based on my dream, that should be enough.

Not every dream I have is precognitive, but when I do have a precognitive dream I am always sure of it. Even one failure proves I do not have the power. I could just be guessing.

I often dream that I have to pee, and when I wake up it's true.

I propose that Randi or his designated representative observe me sleeping for a week.

The protocol:
Every time I wake up and say I have to pee, I will pee. No exceptions.

That's fair, isn't it? :p
 
Unfortunately the protocol is faulty: you could be secretly checking your bladder.

Revised protocol: as before, but your bladder is removed, and taken to a remote place. At a certain point, chosen randomly, it is filled with urine, supplied by one of a number of secret volunteers.

Do you accept these conditions?

That is nothing, I can make it rain. *
The process is finished between one hour and 2 years.




*This magic do not work in deserts, because..umm..because I won't change the region meteorological conditions, yeah that is why.:p

Fine.
Make it rain in Antarctica.
 
I think maybe you do have special powers. Just reading this thread and now I want to pee.

No, to test the claim. I personally have no stake in this, other than to be introduced to a new paradigm of physics if you can do what you claim.

I can do better than that, provided we're talking about making it rain in Seattle. The only problem is finding enough time to do the rain dance when it isn't raining. :p

Who or what is the "it" that's raining when it's raining?

No no no. I'm the Mad Arab. Better bow to my roommate instead. He's from R'lyeh and likes to eat people, soul first. :D
