Thread: Seeing people you've never met before in dreams?

I have met people in dreams from other dimensions, and also people I know in this physical plane. I also met my girlfriend in a dream before I met her in waking life.

Thats trippy. I remember when I was a kid I did the same thing. Had a dream, we were all in the back of this truck and there was this girl I had never seen before.

Anyway, few days later I met her. It was kind of messed up, I never told anyone about it. I almost didn't want to believe it myself, kind of scary.

Why scary?

haha that seems to be a popular line around here. Well I was a kid, it was kind of mind blowing, like I said I never told anyone, just kept it to myself. I think I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think that anyone would believe me. I don't find it scary anymore if thats what you are assuming.

After lurking a bit around here it is obvious that it is not uncommon. Really enjoying some of the posts, this place really opens your mind. I will be returning regularly.

Awesome. I found three different threads of people saying they were scared of precognitive dreams just today. Weird. I hardly ever have them, but I think THEY ARE BADASS.

Well, I've never met anyone in real life that I saw in a dream before ( ), but generally, that's what the majority of people I meet in dreams are: not in my waking life. I rarely dream about people I know, everyone's always random.




But oh snap. If that whole "meet in dream, meet in real life" thing is true, then I am gonna have one really PISSED OFF old guy trying to kill me for flooding his house with water x_X



I mean, he chased me down the stairs in the dream, shaking his fist the whole time, I don't wanna know what he'll do in when he catches me. I just hope he buys the explanation of "Dude, I'm sorry. I was just testing out my dream powers"



I am gonna say that, and then I am gonna run like the wind in the opposite direction.

lol this was crazy. I've had similar dreams about High School being on a school bus and falling for a girl in the dream. She was really beautiful and kind. I remember her letting me sit with her because there was a major thunderstorm coming. It was in the middle of the country and she thought I was scared so she let me sit with her. The clouds turned evil like and everything was like. Bizzar. There was thunder and lightning and crap. It started to rain... Talk about major thunderstorm warning... Big sounds of thunder. The dark clouds were touching the ground like some kind of fog... It was messed up. The bus actually went right through it. As it got deeper and darker every time the bus driven farther. Everyone got scared. The girl said everything will be ok and she let me lay on her lap... It was some messed up dream. I was hoping to meet the girl in real life but it looks like my calculations were wrong.

Why can't you meet people like that? It gets really depressing when you wake up in your normal life. Some dream. I've had similar dreams where me and some girl kissed on the lips then I woke up. Talk about dejavu.

I just had a dream recently where I met my girlfriend's best friend. I was able to describe her physical appearance somewhat accurately based on the way she looked in my dream and also correctly guessed her name after hearing it in my dream. I haven't yet met her in real life and also didn't know that her name was Michelle.

Funny, I also flooded a house two nights ago in my LD. I was pissed off because I asked this DC about my DG, and the B%^&* was mockingly telling me crap.

So I flooded her house to the ceiling. I think I was so pissed off the dream ended though

I know how it is. I have met my teacher before in my dream. But it wasnt my teacher.

It was like my teacher in the future

I know exactly how you feel. After I dreamed of my girlfriend, I knew she was real. I really wanted to meet her in waking life. After we got together, she did something that reminded me of the dream. I dreamt of her a few months before I met her.

I tried to dream of her again, but I couldn't, not until I met her in waking life.

this is an excerpt (it was a dream within a dream)

"I am tired all of a sudden."
"But, you just woke up!" said Raven.
"I know... but, I'm so tired."
I turned into a tiger, and curled up by the fire and fell asleep. I was at the house in Tucson again. A woman came to me, all in shadow. Whe shared breath.
"That's it," she said. "You and I we know each other."
I was so shocked by the familiarity, I woke up. I stretched. (I was still dreaming.)

Yeah, It's completely weird. I keep trying to recall that dream again so I can dream the same thing again. But I kept having trouble doing it. I still remember the dream. I thought the dream was well calming actually. I keep having trouble to dream the same dream again about the girl during that dream. It's kinda sad if you ask me.

It is sad. I know how you feel. I actually had the dream 13 days before I met her. But, it wasn't until I had known her for about two months that I realized she was the one in the dream.

Yeah, I think its cool actually. Meeting the people from your dreams. But depressing when you find out they don't exist. I remember one dream I was at a gas station being chased by this gang. And there was a school bus filled with kids. One of the gang members used a spell and it made me choke my self :s And there was a girl in the bus with red hair looking at me worrying saying someone help him. It was a shocker. I swear I've seen the girl before at the mall. It's weird.

I just had a situation where I was a dinner party, 2 days ago, and met 3 people I'd clearly met in a dream, at the exact same dinner party. I get 'dejavue' all the time, usually really insignificant stuff, but this time, I literally had the conversations with them, I already knew one of them had been in the Navy. I knew anothers personality before I actually met him. It was SO real, I literally thought this was my 2nd time to meet them! ( I knew this wasn't the case as none of them had recognized me or had met me before.) I'm actually very excited about this as I've noticed a recent increase in my dejavue moments, being more people oriented. I kept having it about TV shows funny enough. Got annoying, always knew what was going to happen before it happened. My husband didn't quite believe me, so I told him the ending to 2 different episodes of shows, then he realized something was up. Around that time, I said that I'd like to have these about more than just TV, nothing important but something more obvious and can't mistake what's happened. (TV shows do show future snippets of shows to entice the viewer for the season, which might not have been the case, but not as solid of proof). I'd like to dream more about actual people. I had that dream weeks ago and it was really clear in every way. I don't usually remember my dreams in my concious mind upon waking. But things will happen through out the day to trigger a memory as if I was still asleep, really clearly. Then this happened, meeting strangers I had no reason to know. They don't even live in my city! They were just visiting! I haven't ever really put much stock in dreams until now. I did have one thing like this 12 years ago, but this is so much more obvious (and pleasant) of an experience. I'm paying full attention now and am very excited about this experience.

when I remember my dreams, there are almost always lots of people in it I don't know
but most o the time they stay pretty anonymous, never know a name or so, most of them are just secondary characters like all the people in movies with no are almost no lines
but I've had them play bigger roles too

but seeing people I know in real life in dreams is more special to me then seeing people I don't know, only a few people I know ever played a role in my dreams(mostly people I already knew as a kid since I had a lot more dreams/rememberd a lot more dreams then, also mostly only people I really know/knew, no vague acquaintances)

I experience the opposite. I dream pretty much about people that I know; especially people from high school. I rarely dream about family members which I find weird.

Anyways, long story short, I haven't had this happen for me.

LOL, I needed that.

I have very few dreams with people I even know irl. I always dream about people my mind make up. They are quite awesome too! And my head cooks up some good lookin girls.

Most of the people in my dreams I don't know in real life. Usually, the only people that I ever see in my dreams that I actually know in real life are my family and close friends, and they often don't act how they would in real life. Also, the people in my dreams that aren't from real life often don't mention their name, or I forget it. There are only two names I know from characters in my dreams. The first is Kaira, the queen of the wolf women (the women were kind of like werewolves), and the other was a baby polar bear named Muffin. :3

Well I had dreams which contained characters/people I don't know in real life. But weirdly in those dreams...I and those people I don't know act together like we really know each other.

For example: I had a sister in a dream and I have a sister in my real life as well. What is weird is that sister in the dream was very very much different compared to my sister in real life. That sister in dream looked like a teen, pretty, and slim. While my sister in real life, is a six year old chubby kid. They are really different people. I only have one sister in real life. In other words, that sister I called in the dream was not my sister in my real life, yet I called her sister and talked to her in a close sibling conversation.

Yeah, the characters in my dreams often act like they know me too. :/ I once dreamt that I had an older brother who could turn into a wolf, but I don't have a brother in my waking life.

^ Well mine is not just that...They act like they know me...and I myself act as well as if I know them(well...maybe because they were just normal and non-lucid dreams)

I think that sometimes your mind compiles different features from different people so therefore you simply don't recognize these people because their morphed together.
