Predicting the future (non-lucid) - Real or coincidence?

I have just recently started a dream journal. With several sequences under my belt, I noticed that I have predicted future events 3 times already. I will illustrate one of them as an example here:

Here is an excerpt from my dream journal on Dec 1:

In my attempts at making the technology on the TV work, I knocked over a pile of garbage on Kirk’s shelf. A sundry of cigarette wrappers and trash dumped all over the top of the TV stand. I was just about to retire to the bedroom when, perhaps from the commotion, Teresa walked in. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a bag of Fritos.

Unraveling the already open bag, she took out a chip. She smelled it, then tasted it, and gave me a satisfied look. Game on. Then Kirk came in. I apologized for the noise and for the mess, and he dismissed it as no problem.

My fiancé read my journal at 4:30pm the following day. Unbeknownst to me, she ate the last of a bag of stale Frito’s with her lunch. I wasn’t even consciously aware that we had Frito’s in the pantry, since we rarely buy chips.

This is either simple coincidence or an odd prediction of the future. But two similar situations have already happened. Does anyone know if there's anything to this?

Thanks! :banana:

Einstein belived that the past present and future are all happening simultaneously.There are also theories of a mulitverse or parrallel reality. Some even belief that there is no diffrence between waking reality and sleep reality. Which for me is a plausible idea because you define your waking reality through your 5 senses which are also present in your dreams even if you dont notice any other senses beyond sight but they are all present. Anyway if you investigate theses theories with an open mind you may begin to see the fritos parrallel from your dream to waking life as logical.

This is actually the most likely explanation in my limited understanding of it. Thanks for the reply.

My three precog dreams that I know of:
(1) I dreamed that the was no bed for my mother because my bed was not large enough for two, the couch was not comfortable enough, and while there was another empty bed but it's owner might come back any time during the night. A few days later in waking life: my son fell asleep on my side of the bed so there was no room for me (his mother), I decided not to sleep in his bed because I thought he might return to it any time at night, so I slept of the couch which was not comfortable enough, and only a few days later did I see the parallels to my dream.
(2) I dreamed of a job interview with questions about breastfeeding, only to wake up and go to work and find an email in my Inbox encouraging all employees to check out a Webinar on the benefits of breast feeding.
(3) I dreamed that I had issues with someone about three months before we had issues, and I was confused because at the time when the dream took place we had no issues. One of the things said by the other person three months later in waking life reminded me eerily of that dream three months ago.

Yes, precog dreams happen. Precognition is also not limited to dreams. Why would I memorize a song less than a week before my son's piano teacher covered that song?

It's strange to think I've probably experienced this hundreds of times in my life, but since I just started a DJ a week or so ago, I'm realizing it.

I often experience similar precognitive events in my LD's. I also know sometimes it may be my senses working somewhere on subconscious level. For example when I am sleeping and my wife is cooking something while I am sleeping, I can find my wife cooking the same food in my LD, but here I assume that I might sense the smell or something like that.

But sometimes I find very strange precognitive situations, where I could not sense anything like that in advance. My wife almost never buys top-up for my highway usage card and once in my LD I was walking out of my apt and found a top-up, in real life I knew that my balance is low and In my LD I took that card and went in my car to top-up my balance. The next morning I woke up and found that my wife bought be a top-up card for my highway pass, and she told me that she bought one when I already saw it, I asked if she put it there yesterday and she said no, she said that she put that card just in the morning and she forgot to tell me about it last day. I did the same, I was going to warm up the car and at the same time was topping-up by balance, just like in my LD. That was such a deja vu feeling.

I want yo ask you some questions if you don't mind. I know it was non-lucid, but maybe you remember when.
Did you have that dream just before you woke up?
Did you have that dream somewhere between short wake ups at night?

I am not saying this is the right theory, at the moment I try to stay in between all those theories. Applying them one by one and see which one fits better.

I checked my DJ, since I always try to write the sequence in the order I have them. This particular dream happened early in the night, but I am unsure if I "woke up" between.

Thanks for the link. I will read it!

I honestly believe that these type of dreams (and dreams in general) are the way our brain actually creates what we are going to experience in the physical reality. Kind of like a humongous game of chess against ourselves. While in the dream, we go through every situation, occurrence, etc, that we WANT to happen. The way we experience, respond to, attach, and internalize these precognitive events is what determines the experience we have in the physical reality. So our subconscious desires/fears can present themselves in reality, the same way they do in the dream. The same thing goes for something that intrigues or perplexes us, we will create something mysterious or "odd" in order for our brains to process and pick apart the event.

Does this make sense?

We are in a unified field after all...

It makes absolute sense to me. Last night is a great example. Here's an excerpt from my DJ that goes along with your explanation...

"Now I am packing my sound gear and guitar, with the help of my kids, into a van. My kids disappear, and so does my gear, and I am now in one of my company vehicles. A team leader, Mike, [whom I had fired earlier in the year in waking life], is driving. I ask why he is there. I don't discern the answer, but I am alarmed that I have lost control of this team.

I see another one of my vans pulling out of a parking lot. An uninsured employee is driving. I ask one of the other employees why he is driving that van. It turns out, after I had fired one of the female employees, two others quit, and all three are working for a competitor. And they are still using one of my vans to get their work done. The betrayal is confusing to me, but I feel helpless. I am tangled up in an abnormally long seat belt. Out the passenger window I see a gnarled mess of metal and concrete at a nearby construction site. There has been an accident. Someone drove their car straight into the tangled heap.

I dreamed that I would be journaling this morning, and the name came in my sleep: Song of spilled blood.

I woke up confused by the name. But then it dawned on me. My last dream fragment reveals my unconscious concern over my job at work. I am responsible for the marketing in a large region, and sometimes it feels like I focus on one market at the detriment of another. I can't be in more places than one at a time. When I finally go and check on another market, my team seems to have changed without my approval or knowledge.

I liken the feeling to a warrior chief who goes away to hunt for food. When he returns, the landscape has changed. He is no longer chief of the tribe. His tents have been pillaged, his women raped, his crops scorched, and his elders massacred."
