Before I explain my dream I think it would be best to explain my two dominant thought patterns of late before I explain how my subconscious played them out in a dream. My first dominant thought deals with the pick 3 and 4 lottery. I've strategized up and down for weeks on these games to moderate success by winning 500 dollars in my state (maryland) lottery. My second dominant thought surrounds around a car rental I purchased for a month and my feelings on borrowing a car versus owning one. I spent weeks researching a car to rent.

Flash forward to my dream which was a lucid one. It starts with me crouch down on the ground inside a parking lot loaded with all types of vehicles. Maybe 100 cars on the lot. So I assert my intention to look for lottery numbers. I was already on the ground eye level with license plates so i said why not read them. Every plate I looked at either had a set of 3 numbers on them or a set of 4 numbers. Each row of numbers went from zero to nine. I immediately identified the car plates as playable pick 3 and pick 4 options. There were 100 or so cars that followed the same scheme and it was overwhelming at the time. During the dream I thought there can only be one right number combination so all these pick 3 and pick 4 numbers im seeing must be wrong, which was a false and unproductive assumption on my part because I ended up not bringing back any numbers.

I woke up and did some research on dreams and the lottery. What I found was that the majority of people who see the smaller pick 3 and pick 4 games report realizing them with in 1 month. An article I was reading said a person was told by Buddha to play 498. I said I've seen that number combination recently so I looked at the mid day pick 3 drawing the morning of my lottery dream and there it was 498 mid day. So essentially I read the article the same day 498 came out.

In retrospect I wish I would of grabbed one of those set of numbers on the car plates I saw and then I could test its validity. My feeling is that all the numbers I saw will manifest over a period of time. Oh well theirs always next time. :-)
