Thread: Dream tells the future.

That's pretty cool. I can't remember ever having a dream about something that actually happens later on.

That's very interesting. The possibility of predictions can be misleading though when dreams try to forcefully communicate bleak futures, like disfigurement or the loss of life. This instance is quite harmless since it is just the appearance of an old friend, but what if you dreamed that your friend died in an accident? Would you really want to know the future if the future is grim?

I think if I dreamed that someone got a buzz cut, I'd probably guess that maybe he was going to join the military! Off to boot camp! Interesting that the cut was verified so quickly, and yes, I get dreams like that a lot, places I'm going that I didn't know about yet, people I haven't met yet, all kinds of things, really. Sometimes, I see a piece of mail as it's being sent, so I recognize it when I get it. It can be very strange.

And yes, I also get the dreams about deaths and disasters, and you actually get used to it. It sort of prepares you for things emotionally. The hardest part is figuring out when what you dreamed might help a situation if you share it, versus where it's not likely to help, since there's not enough detail to make a difference. I dreamed a lot of dreams about 9/11 prior to the event, but there wasn't enough information to understand what I saw except in hindsight. Those are posted here somewhere... either here or Beyond Dreaming, I think. Fairly recently.
