Prophetic dream

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

At the age of 17 I was on holiday in Austria when I had a dream about somebody I'd known at school several years before and hadn't seen for a long time, that she got engaged. When I arrived home a day or two later I heard that this girl had indeed become engaged, the first among my age group that I knew of to do so. I was quite young for my age emotionally and prospective marriage would certainly not have been on my mind at the time, and I can't imagine what brought this into my head.
