Ever had a dream that came true?

I suppose if I remembered my dreams more clearly, then this might have been true, but with each passing dream becoming a hazy vision, I can't actually confirm it.

But...

There are some things that stick in my head, just certain instances in time of my dream that seemed to correlate to something happening in real life. (Deja vu apparantly). It may have happened in the exact same way in my dream at that moment, but I'm not sure since I can't clearly remember my dream. But that instant something happened, it triggered something in my thought. Just feels familiar even if I know that nothing even close to that ever happened.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not sure if completely relevant, but I had a dream just last night about an event happening. The next day it turned out not to be true.

The situation was kind of strange. Yesterday the school subject prize announcements came out. I had a dream about someone else snatching the prize (I was half-expecting to receive it). Luckily I'm not prophetic and it turned out I was awarded the subject prize.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well For me I've had a few times where I had a dream and months or years later, it would come true. For instance

One time Me and my mom were playing pinball out in the garage (Cybernaut, an old pinbal machine). It was my turn and I was doing very well against my mother, when Suddenly I remembered the scene and I lost the ball because of that epiphany. I remember dreaming that same scene years ago.

I usually don't have dreams, but the ones I have are either perfect for games, or predictions of the future.

How ya doing, buddy?

A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe

I was speaking idiomatically.

You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?

---

I like this enquiry... Is the matter of hope less in a dream? Or is it equivalent, or more vital in reality, the sense of hope?

Anyway. I haven't experienced much of dreams coming true.

But, I dream't that I had licked my former girlfriend's cheek. We hung out later that night of the day I awoke from the dream, and as we were picking up her friend I sided over in the passenger seat and licked her cheak. And told her it happened in a dream of mine. Is that romantic, or what? Fulfilling the matter of my own dreams through personal action?

She said,

"Yeah, that's cool."

Our relationship was not very fruitful at all, unfortunatly.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There are two aspects in which this is true for me.

One is the dream to deja-vu experience. I have a dream, events happen in an exact sequence and usually it's something mundane... then within a month of the dream, that thing happens. The first few times freaked me out so bad I felt sick and panicked. Then I decided in order to avoid that panicked feeling, I would screw with it, do something to totally interrupt the flow of the "scene" whenever I saw it coming. I think it's become somewhat of a habit now, because I've not had any deja-vu for about 6 months now - either I just don't notice when it's coming on and I kill it, or it's not happening anymore which makes me kind of sad, like Spider-man losing his powers. Either way.

The other is more abstract and sudden. I'll have a strong urge to say or do something, but I don't know why usually. However I've learned not to ignore this, because of one incident where I had this incredible urge to keep my girlfriend at the time there, talking to me, for just ten seconds longer, and to say "Hey... be extra careful. Drive safe" (even though she ALWAYS drives safe and I never say that to her) and then as I'm driving down the road two minutes later, I see her pulled over to the side of the road with another car. I learned she'd rear-ended someone. Most people will tell you, it takes three to five seconds to get in an accident, sometimes less. If she had stayed and talked with me ten more seconds it's very possible she wouldn't have hit the car or even been in that same group of cars at all. She may or may not have driven more safely if I told her to drive safe, but because of all of that, I decided I'd never blindly disobey a strong urge again - unless it was selfish or could cause harm to myself or others.

That movie is "Mr. Mom," starring Michael Keaton, if you're interested. It's a good movie, and was land-breaking at the time due to the perceptions of stay-at-home Dads and working Mom's in those days.

It seems to be the same for me. I had "Deja Vu's" often as a kid, but not so much anymore. I still get them once or twice a year. Like Ayos, they're usually mundane events, like a conversation or just riding in a car. They usually involve someone else.

My most vivid example: When I was four I had a dream of looking out a door into a strange hall and seeing a man dressed all in black, who I saw as someone who would hurt me. A few months later, my family took a trip to New Orleans, and as soon as we got off the elevator I knew that this was the hall in my dream, and I got very apprehensive. The next day, I was in the hotel room alone for some reason, I was scared and wanted to find my parents, I looked out the door and saw the same man trying to get into the next room.

Most of my Deja Vu's fade away, but I can remember that one clearly. The yellowish tan paint, the golden light fixtures, the carpeting in the hall, the man... It may have been my first Deja Vu, and its certainly my most memorable.

I don't know why they seem to happen more to children. Maybe the stresses and worries of adulthood crowd them out of your brain. Maybe the child's brain is more plastic, still forming new connections, and more susceptible to Deja Vu dreams. Or maybe we're more gullible as children and we're just fooling ourselves into thinking we've dreamed an event before. Many will say it's just a figment of your imagination, but it's happened to me so many times I'm inclinded to believe that they are real.

I'm with this guy. This is why i have never experianced a night terror inmy life. My dreams wont let themmselves seem real enough without something wacked out and fake screws it all up. These usualy lead to lucid dreams so instead of an evil group of demons about to kill me, I end up going dragon ball z or matrix on them and i win everytime.

I do remember one that was half real and the real half actualy happend the night after. I have a younger brother and he used to go to this youth center and it's dances. I had a dream once that is was very late and he wasn't home yet. My mom began yelling for us to go get him(this was years ago). I took the long way and when i got there he had already left. the rest was like matrix and darkness falls put together. The next night my brother was at one of those dances and it was late. We had to go get him because he was late like in the dream. We went the quik and smartest way this time and met up with him. Anyway we all made it home fine without the matrix and darkness falls. Damned reality.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

well i had a dreams which happen to know the coming lottery number ! but it never work .. grrr

I remember at my old elementary school, they had green slips. Basically, you got written up if you got in trouble, and those write ups were called green slips at the time.

I don't remember the specifics in the dream, but I remember in the end getting one. As it were, that day in class, I got one. Basically, a "friend" of mine picked up his pencil and hit mine in front of the teacher several times to get me to have a pencil fight with him. I just stood there. The teacher thought we were pencil fighting(that I standing there was fighting back I guess....) and hence had us write this up on a green slip.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

multiple times, I've had visions in my dreams that came true sometime soon after or even later in life, one vision I had came true two years later about an incident in my school. odd how much we take these unknown visions for granted sometimes thoug isn't it?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I had a dream that came true. I dreamed that I had sex. Then I eventually had sex.

In a way, yes. I lost my virginity to someone I loved more than I will ever love again. She was the only one I ever dreamed about being with. It was definitely a dream come true in both senses of the phrase. As you may be able to imagine, nothing in life has topped the experience. Nothing has been more painful and confusing than losing her either. Yes. Very fulfilling. Through the internal struggle, I found an unparalleled peace of mind and I rekindled the sense of self I had neglected and an integrity that I have not compromised since.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Only once, I think. Before I started high school I had a dream that I met this person. I remembered their appearance and personality in great detail. Then, when I did start high school, I met that exact same person on, say, my second week there. I was taken aback at first and they were wondering why the hell I was staring at them, my mouth agape.

FELIPE NO

I experienced it, but a dream is no different from real life experience. Say you has a good day or had happy thoughts then you would sort of exaggerate the happy thought. Also if you're horny through the day, you wind up having sex dreams. Laughing Out Loud.

God, you're such a fucking retarded little headcase. That doesn't stand with modern dream theory at all. Don't talk anymore. You're a failure.

I have had that before too. Once in a while, I have had dreams that years down the line they actually happened in reality.
Why not just write down your dreams in a notebook, that works for me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I hardly ever dream anymore, but dreams in the past that I remember were either fucked up dreams that made no sense at all, or else nightmares.

When I was a kid I had re-occuring nightmares of the number "1" coming into my dream, like midway through it. It would get right into my vision, almost in my face. Then it would just poke me over and over, with a rather chilling sound every time it made the poke. I couldn't do anything about it, just watch it happen and then wake up with fright. This nightmare of course has been lost, because I believe I would massacre the shit out of it had I ever dreamed about it again. Hopefully this orange-reddish "1" figure has nightmares of ME now.

To answer the title, NOPE. I've never had a dream that came true. It's of my best interest that I keep my dreams apart from reality, but like I said - dreams are rare for me.

Another nightmare I've had, I have to ask you all. Have any of you had this nightmare of sliding off a cliff and falling off, only to wake up scared AFTER you've fallen into that sky of ... nothing?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Why hasn't anyone replied to this?

I was speaking idiomatically.

My dreams are odd, not because they are bizarre but because they often contain specific narratives.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

When I was a kid, I had a dream about the end of the world. Everyone was gone. I was standing on the side of a deserted highway. There were no cars, or anything. It was absolutely quiet. I remember in my dream looking up and down the highway and not seeing another soul. It was a weird dream, but I soon forgot it.

Years later, my parents got divorced and my father and I got a place together. Just moving in, I took a walk around to get my bearings. A large highway ran in front of our development. I walked over to the side of it and looked up and down the highway and BAM it hit me (no, not a car) it was the exact highway and scene from the dream I had had when I was a little kid. Needless to say, I was freaked out!

On the good side, the end of the world hasn't happened....yet.

Most amazing jew boots

Yes... many times. Though only in one specific kinda way. And that is that I have dreams about what players will end up with my favorite sports teams, or what teams players on my favorite sports teams will end up on. It's weeeiiiiiiird. It doesn't happen with anything else. I hardly ever dream either!

I can't even remember most of them anymore, but my favorite teams are the Houston Rockets, Dallas Cowboys, and Baltimore Ravens... I dreamed that the Rockets drafted Yao Ming two years before it happened, I dreamed that they would sign Jeff Van Gundy as their coach, I dreamed that Hakeem would end up on another team to end his career, back when no one thought that would ever happen (I admit I dreamed it was the Mavs, so I wasn't 100% accurate there). I dreamed that the Cowboys would trade for Joey Galloway, and that they would sign Eddie George. I dreamed the Ravens would get Steve McNair, and I dreamed that Terrell Suggs would miraculously fall into their laps on draft day.

HAHAHA best post ever. If only for the infinite /color tags at the end of the post.

As for the topic, most of my dreams are very "fantastic" (flying, huge fist-fights, superpowers, murders, monsters and so on), but occasionally I'll have a dream that's so realistic that I don't know afterwards if it was a dream or a memory. Some of those dreams come true later. Which I guess makes sense probabilistically.

For instance I had one dream where I was riding my bike down a street and a car drove by me very fast, causing me to twist the steer and crash into the sidewalk.

A few months later, this exact thing happened. The only thing that was different from the dream was that the dream was during a misty day (very light), and my accident was late at night coming home from a party (very dark). I ended up with a broken bone in my hand.

Most other "realistic" dreams that I have are far more trivial than this. They just involve things like a long-lost friend coming back into town or so. They don't always come true either.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I also had many Deja Vous experiences as a child, nothings major just i would wake up remembering a few seconds of a classroom scene say someone walking across a room then a specific person raising their hand and maybye the first word that came out of their mouth, and it would play out exactly as I saw it in my dream. I had a lot or reoccuring mightmares as a child as well. Such as waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a red faced demon looking through my window and being so frightened that i lost the ability to speak. Another was where I would look into a mirror and the entire room would darken so i could only barely see my reflection but my eyes stood out glowing like fiery embers, smouldering away, and I rememebr thinking that they were the eyes of satan. I was a very troubled sleeper as a child even fearfull to go to bed for what i would see when i went to sleep but I think i have forgotten the majority of them.

Recently my dreams are amazingly real and some are soooo mundane that I think they are memories eg washing dishes, checking the mail box, and the other type is where I am in a dream but conscious within that dream and I can interact with the people I meet and its not like Im watching it happen I am there making choices and actually speaking to them, on rare occasions I have had insight into relationships in my life. Sometimes i have epic dreams that seem to take place over months but it seems to play out in real time, i have life changing experiences find meaning to my life then its all over in the blink of an eye (well the opening of an eye)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
