Mycroft has prescient dreams. They're not very dramatic most of the time, sometimes helpful, but more often only confusing flashes of random stuff that happens during the day. And sometimes he has nightmares...
(I basically want Mycroft trying to save someone or prevent something bad happening, on multiple occasions if I'm lucky. I don't mind if this goes Mystrade or any other pairing, but please don't reduce the idea to a plot device to get them together. If it's a side-effect, that's fine.)
Awesome! Now that you say it, it would make a good 5+1 fic. '5 things Mycroft predicted and the one he didn't see coming' or something like that. Do it as you like. Same goes for posting. I'm patient, if you'd rather finish it first, but of course you can post step-by-step.

It was one thing to appear prescient. He was rather good at predicting things after all, and people became so delightfully off-balance when he was proven right. It was another thing, however, to actually be prescient.
Both of the Holmes brothers took in much more data than the average individual, and while Sherlock used this skill to piece together events and find connections, Mycroft frequently used it in a rather different way. Instead of determining what did happen, he often predicted what was going to happen. He didn’t think it was all that difficult. He simply put his brain to the task of computing all the possible variables and calculating the most highly probably result. Nothing wholly remarkable. The dreams though were an entirely different story.

and Mycroft says "Goodness Andsafeti" so I'm guessing he likes it too.
