To you point about Alice and shinning, she also seemed to know that Dr. Harford was about to cheat on her with the prostitute since she called him as it was about to happen.
Yea I have to figure out some explanation for the fact that Alice dreams what Bill saw at the black mass, knows where his wallet is, and calls him before he makes a mistake and sleeps with Domino. Then he finds out Domino had HIV. At that exact moment Alice saves Bill and probably the marriage as well. The dream though, its more than just coincidence. At the end of the film in the toy store Bill tells Alice, "Sometimes a dream isn't just a dream." If she had "the shining" then that would explain it but obviously I have no idea what Kubrick's intent was. The shining is just another way to say she was in some way psychic or experienced premonitions. Alice gives us reason to believe that something unusual is afoot because I know and Kubrick knows that Alice can't just randomly dream what Bill experienced.
