I have a new understanding of dream precognition

I have a new understanding of dream precognition. The other night, I think two nights ago, I had a dream where there was a train crash. It kind of fell off the edge of this little embankment thing where the train tracks were. Like maybe a couple of foot high or something. The train wasn't exactly in proportion as far as I remember. It was a little small. This image of just 'me' (not really me, just the 'camera' as I call it) was viewing down on the train derailed a few times throughout the dream.

Anyway, so I woke up that morning, went on face book, and one of my friends has a post about a train that was derailed in the suburb right next to mine! I was shocked, to say the least. A car had gone in front of it, drunk driver, went up the embankment and had stopped in front of the train and it derailed the first two carriages of the train.

So yeh, I have respect now for people who believe in this sort of thing. It definitely had an impact on me and if I wasn't brought up on logical thinking, I probably would think it was a premonition or OBE or something like that. Maybe not premonition because it probably happened while I was having that dream, which is insane. Also I'm a bit more open to OBE's than premonitions, just coz it makes more sense physically.... in a sort of twisted, far fetched way. But there's a study being done right now on OBE's so we shall see when the results come through! But it'll be a couple years I think.

The reason why I decided it wasn't a premonition or OBE is because it wasn't exactly the same, from what I can remember. I can't remember much else of the dream, I can't remember seeing a car going onto the tracks or the train hitting it; just a derailed train. Although as far as I can remember it was two carriages, same as what actually happened.
Also the train was nothing like the trains we have here, and if this was an OBE or premonition I almost definitely would have focused on the person who drove the car on the tracks, the cops said he ran off.

Anyway, jsut thought I'd share this.

precog dreams IMO are very personal. They are about your day to day life and could be as small as having deja vu or having a train wreck right down the street. I have also noticed precog dreams feel different than normal dreams while having them and are also not 100% accurate, but the main point is made.

I would tell you some of the craziest precog dreams i have had but i have learned my lesson on doing that on this website. You get crazy People ranting telling me i a crazy. It is pretty funny

That reminds me of a dream I had in college. In the dream, I was in Los Angeles amid widespread riots. After I awoke, I turned on the television in the main room to find...riots in Los Angeles. Although I had no evidence to confirm any of my roommates had been watching TV while I was sleeping, I managed to dismiss this at the time as probably being a dream inspired by information filtering in from the waking world around me. I can't really say one way or the other, but it certainly was a shock when I found out how accurate the dream was.

Ha, nice coincidence.
I love it when these things happen, they feel so uncanny.
I don't subscribe to the view that these things a premonitions either.
I think they are statistical flukes. A bit like winning the lottery, incredibly unlikely to happen, but someone wins each week.
Or another way to look at it, how many dreams have you had that havn't had any correlation with waking events?
It's actually odd we don't have MORE coincidental dreams.

It's personal experience that gives us unshaking belief, isn't it? Once your mind expands, you can't go back.
