Thread: What was this?!

My friend had had a dream about... hmm, 7 or 8 times in a row.

It never changed: a sea serpent chased him to the beach, and when he reached the sand, the serpent ate him. However, on the 9th night, he had the dream, as usual, but before he got eaten, he saw himself briefly, saying, "You know what's going to happen."

Well... What was this?

I've had a similar experience - I had a recurring dream that my brother got eaten by a dinosaur. I kept waking up, and then going back to sleep and dreaming it again. On about the third time I became lucid because I was familiar with the experience, and I let the dinosaur eat me and then killed it from the inside and rescued my brother.

I don't think your friend's dream has any special significance in his life. Being chased or eaten by monsters is quite a frequent dream.

Kinda like the falling dreams. I always loved those but I haven't remembered one in awhile. It just feels so real when I am falling and it seems like I damn near destroy my bed whenever I land in it from thousands of feet up.
