Don't forget the one where a black cat crosses your path.

Well, actually almost everyone has a bit of superstition hiding in the dark side of their hearts. It might be cause by cultures, religions, or self-belief. Regardless of what the beliefs are, no one like to admit that they are superstitious as now is the age of science.

How many people believe in dreams as a Sign.
Sometimes they are so real and what you dreamed do happened in real life later on. Creepy...

Dreams are more about premonition rather than superstition.

Young people were superstitious more often than old people.

Because old people have experiences some superstitious and nothing happened, ended up not believing them.

Well, seems the old in the US are more enlightened...
Things go directly to the opposite direction in China, where the young become a lot more knowledgable than those from other countries, as well as the elderly.
