Anyone ever had a dream and then it happened in real life?

I had a dream that I was in hospital and could hear an old woman crying out for her mother. I had the most awful feeling it was real when I woke, but tried to push it out of mind.
A few days later I took a train to see a friend, fell ill, and ended up in hospital, away from home. During my first night I was wakened by a confused old lady crying out, using the exact words I had dreamed. It was so bizarre I thought I must be dreaming again. But no, the poor lady continued to cry out for her mother at intervals for the three days I was there.

I had quite an erotic dream about a man I had never met or seen before.
About a week later I saw the man on a bus! Not my usual bus, the other side of town going somewhere I hadn't been before!
I was very embarrassed (for no reason as he obviously didn't know what I'd been thinking/dreaming about him ?
I didn't ask his name, that would have been too weird....
'Excuse me, you don't know me but I dreamt about us doing some rather naughty things the other week '..... ??

that's hilarious

I have the same dreams same place and lots of cats.always a place that has a big river and I am looking for someone or a toilet.lol

timetogo2016 I also had a car accident dream: In my dream I had a very clear, strong image (can still see it now) of my brother hanging upside down calling out to me. He was 'lost' and all alone and I couldn't get to him. Next day he phoned to say he had been in a car accident, forced off the road, the car had turned over and he was stuck upside down for an age before someone found him and called the services. Luckily not badly hurt.
It was so vivid, so clear and kept repeating itself in my head for weeks afterwards. Is this a 'gift' we have all lost touch with?
Or have we always dreamed about possible disasters so that we can practice how we would manage them?

I used to have frequent dreams about having a baby and (before I learnt to drive), driving (not both at the same time!). Once I had achieved those two objectives, the dreams stopped!

I dreamt that my ex-husband was having an affair with a secretary called Dee. He denied it of cause when I told him the next morning. As it turns out it was true but she was known as B

On holiday in Tunisa a few years ago I dreamt some little boats from the fish farm came on to the hotel beach. The occupants then attacked the guests at our hotel we escaped as we had gone to bed early. 3 weeks later a terrorist did attack a hotel arriving at the beach by boat. My friend has asked Me not to tell her if I ever dream about her.

Yes many times. In 1988 I dreamed my sister pulled out a marriage certificate to say she had got married in secret. In 1971 I dreamed that the local thug had died and in 1972 he did, and in 2010 I got a recurring dream that I had lost either my purse or my handbag. This dream kept occurring every few months since then and in 2019 December my house was burgled my handbag stolen along with my purse and drivers licence.

Not the dreams but plenty of deja vu! I often stop mid sentence when it happens.
So I never know what happens next.....

I have had several dreams which come true. One was the last night of my holiday when I dreamed that my FIL, who was collecting us from the airport, broke the news that my father (only 57) had died. He had not even been ill before we left. As soon as I saw my FIL I asked if he had had a call from my mother and was told he had not. As soon as I got home I called my DM to let her know we were home. She was surprised as she thought we were arriving home the next day. I asked how DD was and was told he was fine. At 5am next morning I had a call to say he had suddenly died from a heart attack.
Latest was while on holiday with friends I dreamed that their DIL had given birth to her baby and could not get hold of them to let them know. They laughed when I told them next morning as they left for the airport as the baby was not due for 3 or 4 weeks. As the plane landed they switched on their mobiles to discover the baby had been born as they crossed the Atlantic but their son could not get hold of them!

Not really. I had a horrible dream last night that I was sent to prison. (Don't know what for) and woke up feeling very stressed. I hope THAT dream doesn't come true!!

Thank goodness no-I couldn’t cope with the embarrassment ?

Dreamed a plane crash on a big wide road near our house. A few days later exactly same crash at Dan Francisco airport. sadly in both many died and others were badly burned.

One dream I found my pony lane with a bad gash on his leg. same happened two days later.

A week before my son was born I dreamed giving birth to him. it was very comforting.

No, I’ve never had a dream come true, mind you I wouldn’t have minded ?

My 2 sons recently keep having dreams that come true but mostly day to day things which pan out exactly as they’ve seen them. A bit like de-ja-vu but they remember them being a dream from only a few nights previously. I’ve had a few but many years ago I had a very vivid dream where I realised the initials MMM would be significant in my life. I looked for it many times in my life until 30 years later on my 2nd marriage to the love of my life I realised that MMM are now my initials. Another dream about 30 years ago was where a plane came down and crashed onto a motorway somewhere in England and it rolled down the embankment. There was so much detail as it was a very vivid dream. Then later on the news, they reported it happening just as I had seen it...

I sometimes dream and later(can be days or weeks) I find I'm reliving my dream! I deliberately change things so it does run the same buts happened quiet a few times?

I dreamt I was taking rubbish to the tip in Aberdeen, while I was getting rid of stuff and white Merc came out of nowhere and ran into my car. Later that week I was at that tip, as i was dumping the bits, a white Merc reversed into my car!!

I used to have little bursts of prophetic dreams. I would have a dream that would come true 6 months later - in the meantime, I'd have other dreams that came true more quickly, then I'd go for several months without anything.

Sadly, none of them were about the lottery (or the pools, back then).

I dreamed of a vast open space, sea and sky, no buildings, and the sea was a bit rough (white horses). The next morning, I was due to interview an artist, and when I walked into the studio, the same scene was in a painting that took up a whole wall. I went white, and he asked what the matter was, and I told him.

I dreamed that I was lying down on the bed, face up, reading, and a plane passed overhead (we are as the crow flies to the airport but planes never pass over us) and I could see it (i.e. no ceiling). The next morning, there was an emergency crash landing in a direct line from our house.

In my dream, I wandered into a London pub where they were playing darts in a local derby. The prize was a cup, to my surprise it was named after my brother. Strange, but I gave it no further thought.

Three months later, my brother died in a car crash. The darts team at his office approached my father to ask if they could name a darts trophy in his honour.

I'd had the same dream on a few occasions that I was in very unusual courtyard...almost dickensian in it's look. I could hear shouting in the distance and I was so scared - an utter feeling of dread.
I'd wake up quite distressed.
Many years later on a visit to Krakow, we were in the Jewish quarter looking for a coffee shop that had been recommended and on going down an alleyway, found myself in the same "courtyard" of my dream.
I can't explain it.

Not exactly, but a couple of years ago I had an unprecedented and incredibly vivid dream that I was pregnant (!) but even in my dream I knew I couldn’t possibly be, and woke up.

Just a couple of days later I heard from a dd of a ‘surprise’ pregnancy (they already had 2 little dcs). She’d known for over a week but she and SiL had been through a very worrying time because at a scan they’d been told that the baby was highly likely to have a significant disability.

In fact other tests proved that this was not the case - she only told me once she’d had the good news.
I’m sure my dream was the result of some sort of telepathy at a time when dd was so worried.
My mother was sometimes acutely telepathic over long distances (only ever when someone was in distress) but this was the first time anything of the sort happened to me.

I haven't had any predictive dreams myself, but a friend of mine has. Like Mapleleaf she also dreamt about the twin towers before it happened. When I visited her once she told me that she'd dreamt about a man with a long black beard and middle eastern clothing lying dead on her sofa. The next day it was announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. Weird isn't?
