How horrible! I so far have never had prophetic dream and I am sure that if I started to, I would agree with you about not dreaming.

I have had quite a few dreams that I believe (to my surprise and shock) have come true.
I had 2 very weird and graphic dreams that had no relation to my life what so ever. Both dreams involved strange places, faces and situations. Both related to crimes in the news.
THE WEIRD PART: 1 week after the first dream, I was reading the newspaper about a attack on a woman by a young man etc. Everything that I read was exactly what I had dreamt. I even saw the faces of the people involved, the vehicles involved etc.
1 week after that - the second dream.....I heard about it on the news. It was about a mother killing her newborn baby.

BOTH DREAMS 1 week apart and both incidents in the news 1 week after the dreams.

Urrrrggghhhh...if you ever figure out a way to control it or get names,make it useful somehow,please, please post it!

I too have had some strange dreams about something happening to someone I know. One instance I had a dream that my moms boyfriend was going to suffer a heart attack and die.. and sure enough about a week or so later he did. And passed away. It was so real in my dream. There was nothing even wrong with her b/f. He just died. He never even said that he had heart problems. It scared me to death when I had the dream. I wanted to tell someone but I had no one to turn to to tell them because I was affraid to. I told my b/f a few days after it happened and he couldnt believe it. Or maybe just doesnt believe I could dream something like that. I dunno.

Ive also had these dreams about my dad.. he died on New Years in 2002. He was very ill with depression and took his own life. I know that it wasnt my dad that did it.. It was like something took over his body.. now I have these dreams of him and me sharing all these wonderful things together. I also had a dream where he hugged me. I swear to you that it woke myself up and when I woke up I was sitting up in bed and it was like he was there but I couldnt see him.. I wasnt scared.. I just calmly smiled and went back to sleep. I know that he is still here at my house.. my mom and I have strange things happen to us all the time. My mom has heard him downstairs cause that was his favorite place in my house.. he always wore a chain wallet and we can hear the keys and chain rattle.. she also felt him tap her on the butt. She told me that she turned around to say "What do you want?" Just like he was there. Just the other day I was coming home late and I was unlocking our door and as I was turning the lock it was like someone was turning it the other way just to be silly.. I know it was my dad cause when I was younger he used to always unlock the door when I got home late and it was just a habit of his to turn the door handle the wrong way. Hehe. Im not at all scared of him being here.. he has always been here for my mom and I and I know that hes still here with us. Ive heard that spirts often stay in the places that they love.. and he loved it here.

I also have a question if anyone could help.. My mom and I have suffered 5 deaths in the last 2 years. All very very close people.. I lost my 2 grandfathers.. my dad.. my moms cousin and my moms b/f. Could something be wrong in my family like a curse? Or what? Its horrible.

Im sorry I made this post so long.. I just had to share.

I've had dreams that come true but no one could call them warning dreams. I tend to call them silly or mundane. One that I remember deals with a co-worker who had plans to make a week-end trip to VA. An account had given us some phone cards so I gave her a couple of them to take with her just in case something happened and she had to make a phone call. Sunday night I dreamed that I asked her if she had to use any of the phone cards and she said "We couldn't go. Something came up and we had to stay home." I wake up wondering why on earth I dreamed that? The next morning at work I asked her how her trip went and she replied in the same words she had said in my dream.

I've had a couple other similar type dreams involving my older brother and my nephew.

A curse on your family...Is there anything you can think of that would connect your family to some ill will?I think maybe someone with Indian knowledge or something would be more suited.If I were you I would start a new post asking for help w/ that topic,that way everyone sees it.

That part about the chain wallet touched me,cause my husband wears one.

Yes, I can honestly say that I've had dreams of both the insane and prophetic flavor. I used to dream things when I was smaller and it would come true in a couple of weeks.

Now that I've gotten older, I no longer dream unless it's a really really light sleeper night. Any dreams that I have, prophetic or not, are usually either vivid to the point where it feels I'm actually there or vague to the point where I don't remember them the next morning.

Sneaky, the ones I remember are generally the waking dreams...real vivid type.

I don't dream as often as I used to - or at least I don't remember them.

Only seem to remember the ones that matter...ones you can't forget.

Then there are those odd insignificant dreams that Grumpy brought up. Insignificant, yet hours(or days) later like deja-vu ... watching every tiny detail play out exactly as you saw it.

hi!
I am a person who takes dreams very seriously. Not that I believe that everything in them will come true, but I think that there is almost always a purpose behind it. I've had several warnings through dreams, telling me to stop doing whatever it is I am doing wrong at the time. It could be I am wasting my time on something I shouldn't do, or being with people that are not good for me. If I don't listen to the warning, or don't do anything about it, I will get dreams of people trying to wake me up, or getting me to listen, or showing myself without ears, and that sort of things. The warnings can be quite difficult to pick up, though, so mostly I notice them once I get the "you're not listening"-dreams...Listen to the warnings you get in your dreams! And they probably aren't obvious, for me at least they are mostly shown in symbols rather than realistic scenes or voices.

I agree with you. Hardest part is interpreting your dreams properly. I dream a lot and am never quite sure if there is a true meaning to all of them.

quote:

I've also had more of the silly dreams come true. Where as far as I can tell there is nothing major in the dream, then months or even years later the same situation will happen and when it happens I feel dizzy and out of it for a few minutes. The youngest I can remember having one was about 7 years old and the last time one occured was about 5 years ago and the dream had taken place almost a year earlier. But they have never been anything important for the most part. Just kind of weird for me.

When I have a really vivid dream that bothers me I do look at dreaming sites online to try to find some meaning of what is going on. Usually most of the meanings they list seem to fit into my life.
Although I wish I could just dream of the winning lottery numbers, wake up write them down, buy a ticket and win. But so far no luck with that dream happening.

Ahhh you and me both Remo =) You forgot to mention when you win, your splitting with me right?

No kidding, nope no lotto #s here! I still haven't gotten around to getting a little recorder to tape the important dreams, it's on my 1 million things to do list. My 1st prophetic dream occured when my great-grandfather died, I was 8(I'd only met him once). I knew he was gone an hr. before my family got the call. Then again when my little buddy hamster was gonna die about a month later...Nobody used to believe me, the more recent ones I've made sure I told a couple people about. So, now I have living witnesses. It feels good to have some validation. =)

Yes I had a dream that I took as a warning. My first wife used to be a nurse in Birmingham General Hospital, the dream told me of a guy who was seeing her behind my back at the time, there was some vivid scenes in the dream that made me suspicious of her behaviour at home and where she was going at night.
Sure enough she was cought out with the right name and face in the dream. We got divorced 18 months later, she admited to all, but she could not find out how I knew of him, well lets face it if I told her it was a dream she would think I would be making fun.

Not the first time my dreams has protected me from time to time.
I wander how this works, for me/us? What is it exactly that comes into play that?

Mike....

I've looked for answers to this question & as near as I can figure it, it's a subconcious manifestation of what we can't except when we're concious...Doesn't explain, though about knowing when someone is dead.
Or how you knew so much in your dream, even his looks. Maybe we've got ghostie friends or relatives giving the mind a light push to see what they think we should?

Hallow, that could definately be true in some cases. I also think when we are sleeping and our mind is resting, the subconscious takes over and "sometimes" warns us of things we might already know but block out during the day when life keeps us too busy to see things properly.

Hi there

I hope you dont mind me adding to this, but back in 1998 I had a weird dream that I my ex husband was carring me up some stairs to a white light I could hear voices and I remember feeling really scared but I was unable to move or speak I wanted him to put me down I didnt want to go towards the white light and I woke myself up. The dream really shook me up for days but I put it to the back of my mind. Anyway about 6 months later I went to a nightclub with a friend to celebrate her divorce while we were there my ex came in I'd not seen him for about 8 months and steered well clear of him, to cut a long story short, while I was in the Loo my ex unknown to me at the time drugged my drink, he was trying to get back with me and thought that this would work, I had left my drink with my friend and she still doesnt know how he did it. Anyway I remember after drinking it I felt 'high' a real rush of energy, I mean I've never smoked or taken drugs before so this was scarey feeling out of control, I remember dancing then a feeling of falling then nothing, next thing I remember is my ex husband carring me up some stairs I couldnt move or speak into a white room, I remember voices, I remember someone saying shes gone again, I remember, just the white light and a sudden peace and calm and the most amazing warmth and I remember my Nan. The next thing I knew I was in a hospital ward and it was 7:30AM the last time I knew the time was at 10:00 the night before. It seemed somebody had laced my drink with either 'E' or LSD I had a violent reaction to it and had in fact 'died' three times in the crash room.
I hope that wasnt to long winded, and I hope you didnt mind me getting it off my chest.

Love
Lynne

=) Don't mind at all.
Wow, Lynn. If you don't mind me saying so, your ex-husband is one stupid person (putting it mildly). Wow. I'm sorry he even considered doing that. You should put a restraining order on that guy.
Someone once did that to me except with mescaline. I went temporarily blind. My eyes weren't able to adjust to light.
