Thread: Dreams that come true....?

Aww, that is very sad mariamay

But yes*, when I was a very young child, I was having non-lucid dreams which came true approximately 25 years in the future. By the mid-1980's, about 17 years into the future. By the early-1990's, about 15 years into the future. The dreams never have dates attached to know ahead of time when they would come true. By future, I mean my own personal future, and the bits and pieces of the world I saw around me. What I see in these dreams now, you don't want to know. But I would pray that events don't go there, if I still thought there was a god to pray to.

* This is not intended to be a strong claim, and I'm not too inclined to argue with anyone saying it's impossible. Of course it's impossible, but it's happened anyways.

Ive had many but I had 2 that were so real its almost scary. I bought 2 water pumps online that are engine driven. When they came one wouldnt run, I couldnt figure out why. That night I had a very real dream, everything in the dream was like it is in real life. I was in the barn working on the pump. I pulled the bowl off the carburator and flipped the float over and put it all back together and started it up. In the morning when I woke up and went to the barn flipped the float over in teh carb and it fired up.

A few months ago I had a dream I was in the barn working on a yellow enging that was on the floor. I knew the engine goes on a trencher. I didnt have a trencher and had no plans to buy one. About 2 months later me and my dad went to a auction and there was a trencher with a yellow engine that was removed. We thought maybe we could get it cheap. We got it and the engine was on the barn floor with me working on it just like the dream.

starry eyes...I'm a bit confused, have those things actually happened by now? Thats a long way into the future to dream of....I've only dreamt of things that happened in the near future. And the one related to Pats death was the only dream I've had of that serious kind. But then again.....He was someone I had a very strong mental connection with when still alive so if I was to have profetic dreams of anyone...it'd make sense that it'd be him. oh and you're wrong....I Do wanna know what those dreams were about....but only if you'd feel comfortable telling about it off course....

Michael.....thats really funny you dreamt of everyday events like that....which came true. The one with the yellow engine is most remarkable since you didn't know you would buy that later some day. The question just is....did you buy it because you dreamt about it and remembered the dream at the auction ...or did you dream it because it was already pre-destined to happen ? hmm same old question with the chicken and the eeg I guess :-)

Yes, sadly. The ones I dreamed in the 1980's and early 1990's came true, one from about 1995 has come true just recently. All of them include small details which I could not have predicted at the time, and much of those details are things involving other people's choices. In a manner similar to how Michael was working on an engine for a machine he hadn't even wanted to own. It is a very long way into the future, and it should be impossible. Where is free will, where is random chance? Still it is happening. But the number of years in the future appears to be decreasing.

I went for about 4 days once, dreaming every night, and every dream came true. It was weird lol.

There was 2 strange things about the trencher. I thought it was just a stupid dream so I forgot about it. I remembered it after the auction. Also at the auction there was only one other guy bidding on it. For some reason I knew this guy wouldnt go over $500. My dad stopped at $480 and this guy was at $500 and my dad stopped bidding. Right before the auctioneer called it I told my dad to go 525 and you will win. Well guess what happend? The auctioneer looked at the other guy and said 550, he shook his head no. He looked around the crowd saying 550 and then said sold for 525.

We went to the auction looking for a trailer, but when we seen the threncher with the engine pulled we thought maybe would could get a deal on it.

Starry eyes...what do you mean that the number of years seem to be decreasing? Do You mean from you have a dream till it actually happens? Are you still having those kinda dreams? ...and when you dream them.....do you wake up "knowing" that it was a profetic dream ...or do you just realize that when it actually comes true all of a sudden one day ?

Michael....Do you keep a dream jounal? I mean, do you write your dreams down? I was just thinking.....that perhaps this happens more often than you realize...but with such ordinary stuff that you just dont think about it and then forget about the dream again....so you dont recognize the situation when it occurs irl.

hmmm.....this is kinda strange....you two....Starry eyes and Michael.....you both have profetic dreams but one of you have them about bigger issues/events and the other about everyday experiences. Between the two of you.....you could dream the future in all aspects....

Hi Mariamay,

Very sorry for your loss, very tragic and my heart goes out to you.
I'm going to be honest with you, because I feel it's important, and I do hope you don't think that I am coming across insensitive, as that really is not the case. What I'm really trying to convey here, is that the tragedy of your loss, needn't result in a further tragedy of your accepting unfounded views of the Universe (which could easily have you fall victim of unscrupulous people who take advantage of such things (such as Mediums, Psychics etc.))

The laws of probability and chance, are very counter intuitive.
Very strange, very convincingly bizarre events do happen, every day, a lot.
However, this is not due to some magical force, it is due to the fact that there are well over 6 billion people on this planet.
These strange experience can range from the reasonably mundane and sometimes pretty common such as knowing that someone is going to call before they call, to the more bizarre such as dreaming an event (or something similar to an event) and then a similar event happening some period after.

A good way of thinking about it is this...
Winning the Lotto is very very unlikely.
however, someone will win the lotto every week (just due to the sheer numbers of people playing)
Now, it is not impossible that at least a few of those very lucky lotto winners will have had some event (perhaps a dream, a funny feeling or a "sign") that they were going to win. Does this mean that the dream, funny feeling or sign was genuine? no of course not... think of how many of the people who didn't win, had a dream, funny feeling or sign that they were going to win... then promptly lost, and so let the dream or feeling be forgotten.
I've certainly had quite a few dreams of winning the lotto... hasn't happened yet unfortunately.


The tragic circumstances surrounding your coincidence, should not effect your perception of the coincidence. Try to remain clear headed about it, i know it's not all that easy in these kind of circumstances.

Think of it this way... what kind of God or Universe would be cruel enough to give you a sign... knowing full well that you'd not take it seriously?
(after all, your dream wasn't really all that clear was it? i mean, if God or theUniverse really wanted you to know... it could have done a better job!)

In these circumstances, I'd say that only an Evil God would allow such things to occur... As if loosing a loved one isn't hard enough, let along then taunting those who loose them with half hearted, vague dream warnings.

Do you see what i mean?
I personally do not believe in God, but, if perchance you do, then perhaps you'll see what i mean above, that you cannot reconcile such events in your life with a caring God or a Benevolent Universe (one in which we would be offered visions of the future)

Do not let this one event haunt you.
You were an unlucky victim of statistics and chance, nothing more...
do not be a further victim and spend your life thinking you missed a "sign", you did not, you simply did what all humans do... you wrote the story of your life in hindsight. There was no predestined pattern beforehand, no glimpse of the future. You had a dream, that unfortunately by coincidence, vaguely fit with the unknowable circumstances of your future. Tragic as they were.

I send you my love and condolences. And hope that you'll find comfort in knowing that you did not do anything wrong, you did not miss an opportunity to save a loved one... you were simply a victim of an unfortunate set of circumstances.

wauw I'm all speachless from reading your post. You have a very kind and compassionate spirit....thank you for spening your time and compassion on my tradegy.
I did blame myself back then.....also because the dram was just one sign of many. When we hugged goodbye at the airport....I knew I would never see him again. It didn't make sense because we both wanted nothing but to be together....but I felt it very strongly none the less. And after I arrived back home...this fear of something bad happening kept building inside me tilol the point where I felt I was loosing my mind. Because my fear was so intangible.....I didn't know exactly what it was I was so afraid of. Untill it happen 1,5 month after that last day at the airport where we hugged goodbuy. Then it suddenly all made sense....my fears, my dreams, my anxiaty. And I couldn't believe I hadn't realized it before. Deep down I knew all along....but I wasn't able to face that horrible knowlegde. I'm not saying I knew he would die....but I knew I would loose him. I knew I would never see him again though I didn't know why that would be.

Still though, to this day.....I cannot understand how I couldn't feel it. We were so close....like I knew when he was thinking of me....and if he was thinking more "intimate" thoughts of me....I'd be sitting there thousands of miles away....feeling the plesant chills down my neck....stuff like that. It happened on the bus one day which made me all emrassed so I got home and called him and asked him what he had been doing half an hour eariler. Thats how we'd find out about this weird connection we seemed to have. But when he died.....I had no idea. Something did happen at the very moment of his death though I didn't know about his death till 1,5 day later when I got the call. But the night he died (night for me, I'm 6 hours ahead in time) is a special night here in DK that we call Sct. Hans. And at the time he died (10 pm for me...4 pm for him) we light these big fires (kinda like a bond fire) and sing and have drinks etc. I didn't participate that year but was watching from my window. And just as they lit the fire....thats when a thought popped into my head out of the blue. That I should write our story down....mine and Pats I mean. I dont know why that idea popped into my head at the same time as he had the accident but it did. ....I went back for the funeral. First stop after I landed was the funeral home. I remember looking down at his dead body in the coffin and the first thought in my mind was "Thats not Pat" ...but off course it was him. Same face, same hands, same everything. There was no doubt about that....I dont know again why that thought popped in there.

And I did actually start the writing now. I started many times but stopped again because it was just too painful. But 9 years have gone by now and I think I'm finally able to keep the pain boxed up in such a way that I can write freely.

oh and btw.....I'm not religious. I have some spiritual beleafs....and still open minded towards new info/thoughts. I dont believe in God or satan but I do believe in the good and the bad in people.

wauw......I didn't expect that I'd suddenly be sitting here typing all that stuff about Pat. He was such a kind and humble person and I guess the kindness shining through in your post just triggered all this stuff about Pat in my mind....

Personally I feel honoured that you'd share such things with us, as im sure it's very hard to talk openly about such personal things.

These sorts of circumstance certainly throw our world views into a complete rethink.
You also seem to have a very open and intelligent way of facing these things.

I'm glad you understood the direction i was coming from with my post.

Life is most definitely a very mysterious and vast experience. Still, to have loved and lost, as heartbreaking as it can be... is still so much more beautiful than to have never loved. I think it's always important to appreciate the goodness in our lives, even when faced with the sadness.

Pat, I am sure, was a wonderful human being. And the wonder he bought into your life certainly shows in what you write. Whilst your experience was tragic, it is also inspiring to know that such closeness is out there in the world.

Thankyou for sharing, and i really hope you your memories of him continue to help remind you of the beauty in life... and enhance the many other wonderful things you will experience in your life to come.

No I dont keep a journal, but should. Maybe you read in another thread where I havent been dreaming at all in weeks. Last night I had another lucid. Not for long, I had trouble staying in the dream but at least Im getting back in it. I'll have to start writing them down. When I have the come true dreams they are not lucid through. More like watching myself on TV. Also Ive only had the come true dreams about myself. I have the dejavu feeliong all the time, Im sure I spelled that wrong. Im wondering if I have alot more dreams that I cant remember once I wake up that come true.

Yes, the time from the dream until it's reality, as I've measured the time after they come true. They are always non-lucid but as completely real as if I were awake. Between my childhood and 25 years later when those dreams first started coming true, the dreams were only personally disturbing and had strange things in them which didn't yet exist. I did not know they were prophetic until they started coming true.

They don't show me all the affairs of the world, only moments in time as experienced by myself in the future. The reason I can guess at the conditions in the world is by paying attention to the details, and because sometimes the dreams have been of future-me watching the television news.
So far, none of them have been wrong. Though I've misinterpreted many of them. While being true, they were not showing me what I thought they were.

I still have them. In late 1998 and early 1999, I dreamed I was shot by police wearing riot gear, after resisting being taken to a relocation center. After that, the dreams stopped for a few years. Those dreams have returned again now, but they are stranger, and I think in them maybe I have been reborn again. But I can't be sure. If they are still the future, it's a future no one would enjoy.

Thats how mine are.

I had one like this, the church turned against the pastor and the pastor turned into a huge spider and attacked and killed the people. I cant think of a good meaning to that one.

Oh, they are nothing like that. Like I said, "those" dreams of mine look quite realistic. As though they are things which might possibly happen someday, sadly.

Michael.....I think a dream journal would be a good idea. I'm gonna start up with mine again, I havent done it in a while either. Your dream about the paster though...I think you can rest assured that that one wont come true :-) Maybe it was just a sign to tell you to be careful what you believe in because it might turn against you or turn out to be an illusion....

ok lightning and thunder really bad here now...gonna pull the plug and come back later..

ok its over again.....how weird to wake up to such an extreme weather when yesterday was all warm and sunny. anyway...

starry eyes...I hope your dream with the police wont come true. But at least now you know that if you should ever experience something in the future, where the police wants to take you to a relocation center (for whatever reason) you chould not resist. just from knowing the outcome of your resistance in advance...should give you the power to change the outcome....shouldn't it ?

and Spaceexplorer.....I wanna say thank you for for your care and kindness but if you and I keep throwing those "thank yous" at each other then its just gonna sound all pink-little-cotton-cloudish to the rest of the board :-D ...and you're right none the less......I would do it all over again....meet him, loose him etc.......just to experience what he passed on to me.....rather than never having met him at all. Patrick was like my sunset in love......a brief but shining beauty that taught me what unconditional love really is .......so that I'll be ready to share and pass on that kind of love when I see my sunrise some day....a sun that will rise and stay up on the sky aaall day long :-)

Im going to have to start a journal, I have another dream last not but not lucid. I was ridding it a car with my sister to go look at something and were driving throught a massive graveyard with a house way up on a hill in teh center of it. Looked like a horror movie.

The dream with the spider bothered me because about 1/2 the people in the church turned on teh pastor wanting him thrown out because he was talking about spacific sins people in the chuch had done. Sort of like judgement day, instead of these people changing their ways they would rather throw the pastor out of the church.

For past dreams come true, between the the things I misinterpeted and the things beyond my control, I wonder.

Also, sometimes the police use rubber bullets which only knock their victims down. And sometimes "relocation center" is a euphemism for prison camps.

Thats what I was thinking, I heard rumors that in ohio FEMA has been building these camps for a few years now.

Well I have to say that I kinda understand those people in the church. Isn't a priest suposed to be like "silent-obligated" about the sins people confess to him? I'm not religious myself (I see a church at weddings, funerals etc) but I'm pretty sure thats in the commen job-description of a priest. And making all their sins and secrets half public like that.....thats just bad behaviour I think. Best friends dont even treat each other like that so surely a priest shouldn't either. But thats just my opinion....

I'm sorry to hear about that.

And yes I have, last year. The few weeks before my cat was hit by a car, I had 3 nightmares that he was going to die. They were the only nightmares I'd ever had about him dying.

Hi Caz ....nice to meet another female ....seems most people in here are male....

I'm sorry to hear about your cat....I'm guessing you were very fond of him. Hopefully he's in some sort of cat heaven now

Its weird though.....those kinda dreams. weird and unpleseant. I hope I never have one again....at least not unless I can actually do something about it....

I had one about my oldest son of that kind but it didn't come true so I'm guessing it was just a nightmare. All parents occationally have nightmares about their children dying (I think) plus the specific way he was killed (kicked by a horse) would make more sense for my daughter anyway, whos an absolut horse maniac :-)

Yeah I think the one about Patrick was a one-of-a-kind sort of dream....

It's nice to me you too.

And no, it's not pleasant to dream stuff like this, especially about people you really care about. I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to you and your fiance, and I agree with spacepeanut; there wasn't anything you could have done.

I'm a little skeptical still though. We dream things all the time that don't happen (even major things like people dying in our dreams), so we are likely every now and again to dream something that actually does happen.

Nonetheless, this happened 3 times over a small period of time, which leads me to believe that it may be something more than just chance, especially when he was a healthy little bugger. Ignoring the dreams, it was completey unexpected.

Exactly! We dream of things that don't happen all the time...etc. I do believe though that your subconcious knows things that your concious mind cannot even begin to grasp.....and that could reflect in our dreams. Did your cat die from a desease? I mean, if it was sick but showing no aparent signs....perhaps you still knew that it was sick in your subcobcious mind. So you dreamed the consequesces that would happen soon due to that illness.

Pat always said that he felt he would die young.....so that alone could have effected my dream. He was very intuitive and being with him...made my own intuition stronger too. Like it rubbed of on me or something....

Caz....I'm curious about something.....why the numbers 457 in your username? Off course it might be too personal for you to wanna share that info ...but just thought I'd ask. If you never ask you never get any answers :-)
