Very specific precognitive dream, how can this be a coincidence?
In my dream i met a young woman i know walking her dog down the hill with her mom, the air smelled of spring and it was very mild.
A few weeks after i had the dream this EXACT same thing happened in the same place with the same people. Where i live its winter so you'd expect it to be quite cold at this time of year but when this happened it was a very mild day out and just before i ran into the girl and her mother i couldn't help but think how much the day felt like spring.
There must be something to this...
I have had another dream very similar in its ability to predict the future but not quite as striking as this last one.
Another thing like this happened to me a few years ago in math class. It was integral calculus and i was watching the teacher perform a very long calculation on the blackboard. All of a sudden a number popped into my head, i think it was 58.78 or something like that. The teacher finished the calculation and i could see that the number he got was exactly the same as the one i had "guessed". Same number. same number of decimal places. Same everything.
I was blown away. I starting looking around the room and acting very strange but i think most people were too bored to notice my amazement.
The only thing i can think of is my subconscious mind did the calculation itself and fed it to my conscious mind. Its too much of a coincidence for there to be any other explanation, especially since i was only half paying attention and don't usually try to guess at the answers to ridiculously long calculations.
I think the same thing is going on when we dream, but on a much greater scale. The subconscious mind picks up on all the things going on around it and formulates a scenario that will play out at some point in the future.
I picture the subconscious like a very powerful computer that can use the laws of nature to predict the future. Every now and then it will spit out and answer if we are clever enough to pick up on it.
The trick is knowing when it is trying to tell us something and when it's just nonsense.
