I have had dreams that have later occurred. Nothing spectacular....for example, dreaming of being in a mall, and then going to visit a relative in a town I've never been to and going to the mall I dreamed about. Freaked me out the first time it happened.

In my opinion, physics professionals that delve into the subtle are truly getting closer to the foundations of the universe.

You have an unusual gift. Nothing like that has ever happened to me or anyone else I know. Oh, I did have a dream about the lottery numbers once. So I played them. None of them came up.

The world is more connected than we can conciously know. Of course, that's just my opinion because I can't know ;-)

Do you have serial dreams? Or
"Groundhog Day" (the movie) type dreams where everything happens again except you have the ability to react differently?

I saw the future once. I had a "dream" about an Italian boat racer who was killed in Paris. I told my husband about it the next day on the plane we took out of Portland bound for Europe. Three weeks later it happened exactly the way I had seen it although in real life I never saw what I had seen in my dream, I was just told about the circumatances and they were exactly what I had forseen. My main questions are how and why?

I have had dreams that have later occurred.

So have I! The most unusual one involved a game of Master Mind that I was playing with a friend. In the dream, tired of being beaten he simply cheats and makes random responses to my moves. After I figure out that no setup is possible to match his answers I remove the shield to find nothing there. Sure enough I find myself repeating the dream in reality and boldly announce to my friend. "I know you are cheating but through the help of a dream I will still get the correct answer: which is you have nothing at all behind that shield!" Knocking the shield away before he could do anything it revealed just what the dream had predicted. No pegs , no colors, simply nothing!

"warning dreams" are very real. I've had numerous ones, including 9/11. I'd told a friend the week before that I had a dream of a south NYC building collapsing, with a single hand sticking out of the rubble and some stuff about a subway system with wreckage.

She reminded me about the dream right after 9/11.

Creepy stuff, but it's real.

I had a dream that an old lady I knew was going to die. She did, that night, right at about the time I had the dream. She said goodbye in my dream.

I, too, have dreams that later come true. That's what deja vu is — when one "remembers" something that one saw beforehand in a dream even as the same events occur in reality. It's an eerie feeling.

I'm not necessarily a believer in ESP per se, but I am a Christian and I do believe in the immortal spirit of man. Anything that is truly immortal (anentropic, eternal, as opposed to merely durable or longlived) must necesarily exist outside the boundaries of the entropic universe — beyond the reach of entropy's arrow. Such an entity would not experience duration as we do; rather, they would exist "above" the whole tapestry of Time, with the abilty to see some part of that tapestry depending upon their "height" above it. Using this analogy, the Almighty would exist at an infinite distance "above" the tapestry of Time, with its entire length therefore in His view; other beings extant in Eternity would be "closer" to the tapestry, privileged with a view only of some part of it within their smaller "horizons". Since our eternal spirits are intimately connected to our physical bodies, our "altitude" above the tapestry of time is generallly zero — except, perhaps, when we are asleep. Perhaps it is during these times, when our minds are "dead to the world", that we gain just enough altitude to bring the events of a few months or years hence into our spiritual "view" — a premonotion that we forget until the same scene appears again, this time as it happens all around us.

I'm neither a theologian nor a physicist, so I may be dead wrong about all of this. But I know from direct personal exerience that dreams sometimes do come true — literally.
