So we can conclude with the fact there's no psychic abilities here, just calculating the probability of a certain thing happening like a distant relative calling you on Christmas eve. The only difference is the probability of said thing happening but no-one can foresee the future with special snowflake abilities.
Either way, once the subconscious reaches the conscious mind it's not in your subconscious anymore. The closest you'll get to your subconscious is your dream world but even that is built upon experiences your conscious mind has seen or been through first and reached your senses, the google dream simulator is a perfect example of this or drugs like DMT if you wish. Your subconscious mind is already communicating with your conscious but you'll never know what's at work so you'll only be chasing an invisible white rabbit leading you to the hole of insanity like a misguided Alice because it has no ground in reality and boils down to you being able to make connections you can't explain by anything else than ''I'm one with my subconscious now!''.
Training yourself to predict the future or who's at your door is nothing more than a significantly weaker version of that dude in the episode of Fringe that could calculate time and space based on what's happening around him because those things couldn't happen if x wasn't there. It's cool to be better at predicting what happens next or playing around with odds, or what a certain person might do next based on the conscious calculations you're making but it's no sorcery.
Feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong or have misunderstood the point of this thread.

Not saying being drunk doesn’t mess up you reasoning. I’m turning 20 soon so I haven’t had a drink ever.
