   But this was a random alarm time, (I rememebr that set the alarm time   
   without even looking at it.)    Maybe it was a one-of occurence.   
      
   I can't remember any 'false alarms' on this phenomenon.   
      
   Maybe there's a God who woke me up on time at that point.  Or maybe   
   causality is suspended during dream states, and I *experienced* the   
   whole event as if I anticipated it--but the brain really played a trick   
   on me, making me think that I had anticipated it but it really cleverly   
   received the alarm signal unconsciously, hid the sensory data from my   
   consciousness, told me to wake up, and then let me hear the alarn   
   sounding.  I wish I had a camera or a seconds-display on the clock to   
   help measure this hypothetical 'delay.'  Perhaps dreams--always suspend   
   this cause-effect linear time preception process, and as I woke up   
   during the dream state, therefore it seemed I had 'broken' causality   
   with my knowledge-preceding-sense perception.
