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

Not my dream but my husband’s. We were invited to our nieces wedding and the night before, my husband dreamt that the brides grandmother and I were wearing the same outfit. She was in her eighties and I was in my fifties so I just laughed and said it wouldn’t happen. Turn up at the wedding and there she was ,in exactly the same outfit. I just said “ This shows we’ve got good taste and laughed it off” She sat there stoney faced and didn’t reply!

I had a dream after the event. We bred a small flock of sheep and one day we couldn't find one of newborn twin lambs. We looked everywhere but no luck. That night I had a vivid dream that the lamb was poorly and a fox ran into the field and took it away. It was more than likely what really happened.

Several years ago I was due to go on holiday but my best friend was seriously ill and I said I wouldn't go, she insisted she would be OK and I should go.

Whilst I was away I had a dream that she ran past me in the street (she was in a wheelchair by that time), in the dream I grabbed her arm and asked what she was doing - she replied "It's OK - I'm alright now". When I got back home I found she had died the day before my dream. I still believe it was her way of telling me she was gone but that she was OK

I've yet to meet the " large lady in the beige coat " that I recently dreamed about. It was so vivid and she even had a face and grey hair. Never said a word, just looked at me as she sat beside me. I'll await my fate grin
In the past my dreams have held significance and used to scare me at times but not so much now. I tend to forget what I've dreamt about.

I had a university interview in Newcastle. I lived in London. The night before I had a vivid dream of getting off the tube and walking through the crowds and up into Kings Cross Station, and as I came up the stairs into the station, the platform was directly opposite and the train had gone, I had missed it.

The next morning I set off from home to catch my train. The tube station at Kings Cross was exactly like the dream, the stairs going up to the platforms were the same nI had dreamed, the platform was exactly opposite the stairs, as I had dreamed and the train sign was up but the platform was empty.

In utter panic I looked at my watch. It said 8.30, my train was not until 10.00. I had been so scared by the dream, I had left home far too early and ended up arriving at the station an hour and a half early.

At the time I had no memory of ever having been to Kings Cross station before but my mother told me later that I had been to Kings Cross a couple of times as a small child, which explained my dream accuracy.

Yes I have had dreams about my health and that of DH and in each case the diagnosis was the same as in my dream.
I think that I was probably picking up on symptoms and my brain was urging me to seek attention.
I hope last night's dream does not come true as I was out looking for a new car wearing winter boots but also had on a blue nylon quilted dressing gown.

I dreamt my son was in a car accident on the m5 at a specific junction,only to find out the day after he was indeed in a car accident on the m5 at that junction.
He and dil was absolutely fine but i cried for days and felt physically ill.

I couldn't believe it when it happened as I'm not a regular player and just picked random numbers. It's not the money as not much but the fact it came true that shocked me

Yes, happened to me several times.

Always puts me on guard when the deja vu is felt

Both times my DD has announced a pregnancy I had dreamt it a few nights before. No lie?

I had a vivid dream about being in the staff canteen of the office block I used to work in many years ago, which was on the 9th floor, when I looked out of the window to see an aircraft approaching our office block. I woke up with a start, and thought how bizarre, especially as I no longer worked in that place and hadn't for many years, so thought it odd to be dreaming of being back there with something sinister happening. The next day at work we all heard the dreadful news of the twin towers in New York.
It still gives me a shiver thinking about it.

I also rarely dream and recall just two. Sorry, one's rather sad. One night I dreamt vividly about Mum dying. I was very agitated and couldn't get back to sleep. It worried me greatly. Next day Mum was taken to hospital and passed away before I could see her.

The second is puzzling. Soon after England won the Rugby World Cup I dreamt about Jonny Wilkinson being in a car accident. Why would that be? There's no emotional connection apart from being thrilled when his kick went over the crossbar - as with many a rugby fan. Later there was a news report that he'd been in an accident - thankfully minor and no awful injuries. Isn't that peculiar?

I never dream about winning lotto numbers or the winning horse at Newmarket - it doesn't work that way, I'm afraid!

Ok so I rarely remember dreams but 2 nights ago I dreamed I won the lottery! As I only do the lottery about once every few months I thought it strange but had one line anyway yesterday for fun. I had an email saying I had won a prize - first time to win anything. It was only a few pounds for 3 numbers so not life changing but seems a strange coincidence that I'd dreamed of winning.
Anyone else ever had a dream come true?
