I once had a dream in which there was not enough room in my bed for my mother, and the couch was not comfortable enough, and while there was another bed but I was concerned that the person whose bed it was might come back in the middle of the night. About a week later, my son fell asleep on my bed (a one time occurrence, not something that happened before), and there was not enough room for me (his mother), and while his bed was thus empty but I knew he might return to it in the middle of the night, and so I wound up sleeping on the couch which turned out to not be comfortable enough. I did not notice the parallel between that dream and what happened later in waking life until several days later, mostly because in my dream it was about my mother, whereas in waking life I was the mother to whom it happened.
Then I had another dream. I dreamed that I had a job interview during which I was asked questions about breast feeding. I woke up thinking, how awkward, how weird that this was in a work setting, and how odd that I had this dream now though I had not thought of breast feeding in years (my younger son is four now). I went into the office, and my Inbox that morning contained an email inviting employees to participate in a webinar on the benefits of breast feeding. I work in an office where this has nothing to do with work. I searched everywhere for any prior reference to this webinar that I might have possibly seen: our office kitchen billboard - no, prior email - no, our intranet - no. I could not find any way in which I could have found out about is prior to that morning. And I searched carefully because I wanted a rational explanation for that dream, but found none.
That is when I believed that such things actually do happen, and that while I do not have an explanation for this, but I don't believe it is just a coincidence or a perfect guess.
Is time non-linear? Is life actually all a dream? Are we telepathic or psychic? Or is there some other explanation? If you are religious like me, then there is also the possibility of a spiritual explanation of some sort. Oh, the idea has also occurred to me to question my own sanity - so far not too seriously though.
