In the same conversation, or in an earlier dream chat with Faith, she also says 'Little Miss Muffet counting down from 7-3-0'. Which makes sense when you consider 730 is 2 years in days, and LMM means Dawn. Cool eh?

I didn't notice that, I just at the time noticed the Dawn mention and obviously having by then seen series 5, it was easy to pick up on.

She also mentions the bed is for her sister, so it's not really that subtle.
Also, it doesn't make sense that she'd know at that point. But anyway.

I think it was subtle enough that watching the end of series four you wouldn't expect what happened at the end of series 5, episode 1! My point was that at that time, watching that show I thought it was marvellously clever and like a wee secret being shared with people who liked it enough to watch it again and again. Like Joss Whedon was winking at you and saying, look, I showed you! I'm sure there are more and probably better examples of clues of future happenings but I can't think of any offhand.

Slayers have prophetic dreams, particularly Buffy. Note that we don't know it's really Faith talking at this point -- it might just be how Buffy sees her dream.

Also, this. With it being a dream episode though, when you watch it for the first time without knowing what's coming I think you just dismiss any weird stuff as being part of the dreamscape. Like the man with the cheese. So when a sister is mentioned, you think that maybe it means Faith and you don't look anymore into it.
lol, sorry. My spoiler tags are pretty messy!
