I used to get some pretty accurate dreams as a kid - usually in sports when I was visualizing myself in the race while training. Even to the point of dreaming of what place I would win (correctly). And sometimes on really mundane things.
It doesn’t happen too much anymore with big things, although lots of things through the day can trigger remembering a dream.
I wonder if we dream about 100 things every night, and then when the one or two things happen that sort-of fit they trigger the memory.
Obviously not the detailed dream like you described, but the truck crossing your path a bit close and “hey - I had a dream with a truck!”
The bible speaks of revelations given by God in dreams. Perhaps these are given through the medium of angels. Evil angels would be able to play with the phenomenon as well, though to sinful ends.
Yeah - that’s why I started writing it down I thought it might be just “close” but not perfect. I was sorta like “cool” when it was verbatim.
Wondering now if I’ve got those notebooks stashed in a chest somewhere...I tended to be a packrat with stuff like papers an stuff...
