In most scientific as well as popular literature on ESP phenomena, Psi is reasonably presumed to serve an adaptive function for the individual (e.g., Carpenter, 2012). It is therefore most intuitive to think of premonitions (i.e., precognitive dreams and visions that seem to foreshadow a later death or disaster) as relating to some psychic radar ideally helping the individual avoid dangers or avert catastrophes imperiling others in their family or community.
