Yes, I have had dreams that have come true. And not in the "general" sense, like "Oh I dreamed that 'something' bad happened and then 'something' did." It has happened extremely rarely (or at least I have noticed it extremely rarely), however, and has never been useful, just trivial.
For example, I dreamed that I was being chased through the streets of one of those old-style European cities with the very narrow cobblestone streets. There were people chasing me who were running across the rooftops, and barking dogs were chasing me. The rooftops were that reddish tile that is ubiquitous in those types of places, and the houses were white/off-white. I ran into a very narrow dead-end alley (really just a space between 2 buildings, about wide enough for 2 people to pass through shoulder-to-shoulder) and there was nowhere to go. At the top of the wall before me that created the dead-end, there was a tiny window up at the top, about 2.5 stories up. What I did was shimmy up to the window by sticking my arms and legs out, which, when outstretched, touched the walls of the "alley." Once I got through the window that was pretty much the end of the dream as I felt I had escaped.
Well, the very next day, I was about to go to bed late at night, and I was channel-surfing, and I thought "Oh I'll just check one more time." So, I flip through the channels and stop on this movie that looks kind of interesting, looks like an action movie where this guy is being chased. So, what do I see? Guy is being chased through some sort of European city with off-white buildings and red-tile roofs. Then, I saw that some people were running across the rooftops to try to get down into the street where this guy was. Suddenly, dogs started barking in the background. After a few moments, the guy turned down this alley that was pretty narrow. It turned out to be a dead-end. There was a small window at the end of the narrow alley though. The guy shimmied up the walls though, and crawled into the window. The last thing I saw was an exterior shot of the alley where the pursuers ran in and were looking for the guy.
Pretty odd coincidence, as I was watching a film and basically just thought to do 1 quick channel surf before I went to bed, and I just happened to hit that exact channel at that exact moment...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
