[S3E6] A thought about Cooper

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, I'll confess I haven't scrolled back very far, through this subreddit and don't often have time to scroll back far, but does anyone else think Cooper has always had these abilities that Dougie Cooper has? (eg. the jackpot stuff / knowing when people are lying / the green dots on the case files)

I feel like Dale Cooper has had these abilities for a long time, which takes us bake to his line in S01E03: "Following a dream I had three years ago, I have become deeply moved by the plight of the Tibetan people, and have been filled with a desire to help them. I also awoke from the same dream realizing that I had subconsciously gained knowledge of a deductive technique, involving mind-body coordination operating hand-in-hand with the deepest level of intuition."

I believe that in this quote, this tells us he's always had the ability to do this kind of stuff (For example, he knows when Albert and Cole have arrived intuitively). He didn't do anything as Dale Cooper to exploit these abilities though things like gambling (except when playing blackjack at One Eyed Jacks when he gets 21, but he just plays it off by saying "mother said I was born lucky"), plus maybe his shooting skills at the shooting range are linked to these visions too.

Once again, sorry if this is a stupid thought / it's already been discussed.
