But you already knew this

A new app called Shadow is poised to answer skeptics and believers alike. The app records dreams (which you submit upon waking) and enters them into a massive database, allowing thousands of the time-stamped transcripts to be searched by keyword. Clairvoyance could be identified through specific keyword spikes before major events. While the app was first envisioned as an introspection tool for the Quantified Self Movement, it may end up finally answering a fundamental question about the nature of consciousness.

I met with Hunter Lee Soik, the 33-year-old visionary behind Shadow—a man seeking to predict the future by creating it.
 
The law of averages indicates you're going to get a few accurate predictions, or dreams that are interpreted as accurate anyway. Pity there doesn't seem to be a properly scientific way of gauging these things at the moment, I don't think a dream diary app would really cut it. We need wires stuck to our bonces or something!
 
Quite interesting that it's being thought of and tried though.
