BigBlueHead... Not everyone has extensive diagnostic testing, and not much research is completed in the field... Everyone who has clairvoyant dreams (no matter how common it is) doesn't get MRI's or CT scans on their brains on a regular basis, but of the people who have, it would be interesting to note any similar irregularities.
Though I understand what you mean here, there's a couple of things you need to consider.
First, I am not surprised that you differ physiologically from other people - it's pretty well known that there's a wide degree of variation between individual humans, even in pretty basic things like number of muscles, bones, teeth, and so on. Brain physiology is probably similarly variable. If other people were given various medical scans, I have no doubt that this would produce a wide variety of different brain physiologies.
However, the two examples of unusual ability that you've described - clairvoyant dreams and inference from photographs - are not unusual at all, in fact nearly all people have had a few experiences of these types. They are more a product of the way that the human mind works than of any psychic ability.
So, your
neurophysiology may be unique, or at least unusual, but your
psychic ability, from your description, sounds about average.
Is there anything else you can do? Here are a few other mundane things that people sometimes believe are paranormal abilities:
1) Time sense - "I can/always wake up at 6:37 in the morning".
2) Numeric synergy - "Whenever I look at the clock it reads doubled numbers: 1:01, 2:02 and so on."
3) Sympathetic pain - "I felt a pain in my hand. Later I talked to my relative, and the very same time I felt the pain, they burned their hand on the stove."
4) Close prediction - "I was thinking of my friend. At the very same time I thought of them, the phone rang, and it was them."
5) Weather/temperature sense - "Even in a heated/air conditioned house I can look outside and tell the temperature by sight to within two degrees. I can also predict local weather, within minutes, up to twenty-four hours ahead of time." (As a kid I could do this, and also knew several other people who could. I'm out of practice now.)
6) Animal empathy - "I always know what my dog/cat/fish is thinking."
7) Human empathy - "Sometimes I know exactly what my boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse was thinking, as clearly as if I'd heard them say it."
All of these are mundane, that is, explainable without the need for psychic phenomena to fill in the blanks. If you have any other sorts of ability, I'd be glad to hear about them.
