I would like to add one more comment here after listening to the latter half of the interview. It is regarding the science (and research) regarding psi phenomena observed in human dreams.
Dr. Watt again, posits a common Skeptical position that any paranormal like observations/phenomena between dreams and what may occur either in the future i.e. a precognitive dream, or present (clairvoyant or telepathic) - it can be reasoned that this is mostly because people can have a general disposition of the possibility, and that given enough dreams, one will eventually find striking correspondence between any dream and some real life event outside the dream.
This is a very well known line of reasoning against the possibility of dreams demonstrating psi phenomena, and I completely agree with Dr. Watt here. However, what is a red flag to me, is that Dr. Watt appears to 1) Be completely unaware of some of the early scientific research regarding psi phenomena and dreams 2) Seems to assume this line of reasoning was not known by some of the early parapsychological researchers.
In truth, if one looks at some of the early SPR paranormal research, spontaneous cases of dreams were entirely thrown out if certain elements were not present in addition to the report of the dream itself. Some of these additional attributes, in order to be accepted as a certain class of "paranormal" dreams were 1) the extreme unusual vividness of the dream to the percipient (which is a well-known common attribute of psi type dreams) 2) the percipient either woke up in the middle of the night, or woke and took very unusual action based on the dream 3) was convinced their dream was something more than just a dream and it was unusual.
Now the above three elements are not something everyone reports with common everyday dreams. In fact, on the whole, most people forget their dreams as soon as they wake up. Even more rare - is waking up in the middle of the night and alarmingly reporting one's dream to someone else or writing your dream down in detail. Also - extremely vivid dreams are not a common psychological facet of dreams. Most people will not wake up and tell you their dream was something more than just a dream, or that it was a very vivid dream.
The early SPR research into dreams and possible paranormal phenomena used the above criteria among other criteria to select a certain class of dreams that would exclude Dr. Watt's and the Skeptical "talking point" that dreams can be randomly matched to general non-dream events. Given the class of dreams defined, and that death events can be statistically measured i.e death rate of a given population (such as the death rate in England) one cannot (so easily) argue as Dr. Watts might try to do here - that it would be just a random event for some person on a particular day, to have an extremely vivid dream, which they woke up in the middle of the night from, convinced it was something very unusual - wrote the dream down, or told others about the dream (or even claimed they had seen some kind of apparition along with the dream) - that somehow remarkably coincided with someone's death thousands of miles away - someone who as far as the percipient and others knew, was in perfectly good health at the time. In addition, given the known death rate, it could easily be determined what the statistical odds were of someone being able to randomly guess someone's death on a certain day.
