Sorry for the repetition of text but I'm a visual girl.
It wouldn't have, though. Even if it would, how could he have known? The future was like that, mostly, unknowable, even for events so life-altering; maybe especially those. But sometimes it was impossible not to know, and at least once the change Dick saw coming changed his world just as much.
I like remade. Strong word without being over the top. "...and at least once the change Dick saw coming remade his world..."
FWIW, the other option is to change the first "change" and leave the second. Personally, that's what I would do because I think the second needs to be your stronger thought and "changed", to me, does that. You describe, above that, the changes as events or even moments (decisions, perhaps), so you might go with something like that. EXP: "...and at least once the moment Dick saw coming changed his world..."
