I hadn't thought about that...The way I interpret it is that Johnny only had the one actual vision prior to the car accident. Remember, his mom tells the Stillsons that it's only been two weeks since his hockey concussion. And he never actually makes a connection between that vision and the others in the episode (as far as we know, anyway), so I'm betting he doesn't remember it. Plus, they do establish in the pilot that he is already "sensitive" to predicting things, i.e. the whole carnival thing.Of more interest, I think, is young Stillson's reaction immediately after the initial contact through the bible...Purdy & Johnny's Mom Spoilers Below:........................Basically, Johnny started having a series of visions of his mom, dad and Purdy when they were younger, coupled with visions of his mom's bathtub filled with blood. He accused Purdy of murdering her because he had never accepted the fact that she had married Johnny's dad instead of him. When Johnny finally confronted, and touched Purdy, the vision showed that Johnny's mom had killed herself over the grief of "losing" her son (she had been told he would never recover) and Purdy had covered it up to protect her and Johnny's good name.</blockquote>
