I'm in the middle of a rewatch, and just saw "Raised by Another".
Now, maybe this has been brought up, but I don't think it has.
Most people probably remember the creepy dream sequence at the beginning of the episode with Claire hearing her baby crying (this is before she actually gave birth, don't forget). She follows the noise into the jungle and sees Locke there sitting at a table with a card, a small crystalline rock on the table, and a lamp. Locke's eyes are black and white.
Anyways, I noticed that this was in fact a mirror of the psychic Richard Malkin's table in Claire's flashback of the same episode.
Richard Malkin's Table has a small rock nearly identical, and also a nearly identical lamp, the first time Claire gets her freaky psychic reading.
I don't really have much of a theory on it, but just thought it was interesting and wanted to point it out. I think Malkin really did see the future with Claire, although maybe usually he doesn't just like any other psychic.
This also makes me think more about what the creepy dream sequences really are, and if they're the same thing as the random people appearing (like Yemi or Jack's father). I can't decide if I think it's some property of the island, or Smokey, or maybe one's Smokey and one's the island...
Anyways, so yeah just thought I'd put that out there.
