Do your dreams ever play out in real life?

For all my life I have had dreams mostly the day before an event happens

The details and accuracy is troubling me

Does anyone else have this? How do you justify it in your mind as delusions? Or is it real?

I am talking things that make the news like natural disasters and horrible crimes

Maybe you just have good intuition. It’s possible or maybe it’s just a sz thing idk

Yes, I have this! Months ahead sometimes. Though things are often slightly different than what I recall

Relatable.

Things differ but sometimes I feel like I can predict future :thinking:

Like last night I had a dream about buying a samurai sword and trying to track down this person

In the news this morning 5 people were attacked in London with one fatality

The guy was my age and used a samurai sword

■■■■■■■ terrible crime

The most notable other ones for me are tsunamis for some reason

Those dreams I am being hit by waves that top houses

Then a few hours after waking, thousands have perished

I find the stuff months in advance are pretty mundane

Serious things are more prominent

I have this too. When I was in Bellevue Hospital I dreamt of dying in an earthquake. Next day I see the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on tv.

Things like that. I just call it intuition and insanity combined.

Ok that could be purely coincidence. Watch out for apophenia. But perhaps the future exists already and we have some subconscious awareness of it. I don’t know.

What if it’s something recorded somehow and people think it’s their own thoughts? Then they do the thing

Can you expound I don’t follow your thinking there

People being confused about perceiving things that are their own thoughts, but they’re not

I mean I consider the possibility that all of time already happened and is being interacted with retroactively from the future with high technology…
But delusion still is a possibility, be careful with your postulations

I think it’s not healthy to obsess about it. A lot of spiritual people find dreams important. You take note of them and move on with your life.

Sometimes they can be distressing. Sometimes they can be reassuring. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are wrong.

It feels like something is being hidden from me. Just really want to understand why as I can help fact check myself

I get this, when I was pretty ill I was obsessing over it. It’s called precognition.

I’ve Had some wild dreams, which have made me emotional at times

How can it be proved or disproved conclusively? We have been taught to have evidence to prove something is true, but just putting that out there as it’s proven time after time to happen as dreamt.
