Have you ever had a precognitive dream?

I have had at least two precognitive dreams.

One was that in my dream, my right hand was really swollen and puffy. I don't remember the circumstances of that dream.
Anyway, the next day, or the day after (no longer than that) I startled my little blind silky terrier who then bit me on a finger of
my right hand and hung on. It was a little sore, but overnight my hand started to swell. It was a Saturday and I called my doctor to see
if she would prescribe an antibiotic that I could pick up at the drugstore. She said no, I would have to come in first. So, I just
waited until Monday morning before work to go see her. By this time my hand was really swollen and purple up to up the wrist. She said
that if the swelling went past my wrist, it would have been serious--blood poisoning I guess. I got a strong antibiotic shot on my
behind as well as getting an oral antibiotic. I remember telling my co-workers about the dream.

The other dream is maybe not so much a precognitive dream, but maybe more of a spirit to spirit connection. My mom was
in the hospital and her doctor finally told us she had about three weeks to live. Way before the three weeks (in fact just a few days
after that prognosis) I had a dream in the early hours of the night. First I have to say that my mom was in a private room where
there was a window but the blinds were broken and couldn't be opened. My mom really wished for the window to be opened. They said
that they would have it fixed soon, but it never happened. Anyway, in that dream, there was an extremely bright light shining
through that window, and shortly after, we got the call that we should come right away because my mom was going to pass soon.
 

Wow Olivia, that was some bite from your Silky, must have been very painful. Interesting dream about your mother, my condolences.

When I was a kid I dreamed 3 nights in a row that I was in bed and my friends and family were visiting my bedside with gifts. I finally told my mother that I might be getting sick with the flu or something. Days later, while on the sidewalk waiting to cross a busy high traffic street, a drunk guy nodded off at the wheel and came across toward me from the far lane, right onto the sidewalk. I was hit with the corner of his bumper and had some stitches and broken bones, nothing serious...but I was oddly enough in a hospital for awhile, with friends and relatives visiting me and bringing me gifts.
 
Oh, wow, Seabreeze, broken bones seems kind of serious to me. Thank goodness the accident wasn't worse. But isn't that interesting about how you had those dreams about what was going to happen to you? Brings up all sorts of stuff that we can't really explain.

Thank you about the condolences. Just writing that made me tear up remembering it. There's some things that time never cures.

You both had serious-level dreams! Mine was just about a flat tire which happened later that day.

Olivia, I know how sad those dreams can make you feel.

Thank you, Rose. But nevertheless about serious, sad or not, you had a dream that came true later that day.

That's really what I'm asking about. Weird, yeah? And even more, what could be the explanation?
 
I agree about Rose's dream, the fact that it happened later that day was very interesting. Sometimes I'll have a disturbing dream and start to hope that it's not precognitive.....I do wonder about such things, and am relieved when days go by and nothing bad happens in real life.
 
I do have precognitive dreams/experiences from time to time but have always thought of it as simple deja vu. Remember that? How '70's. Luckily no serious accidents or broken bones, but I did see myself once dropping a large boiling pot of spaghetti and water and getting burned. It did happen, but remembering my dream, I let the handle drop and the pasta and water fell all over the floor but didn't burn me. All I had to do was clean up and cook another pot of pasta for my family. This is the kind of deja vu I like. The kind that helps you change the outcome of a negative event by acting as a warning.

Yes, I know what you mean about disturbing dreams that seem real but you don't really want it to happen. I had that kind of disturbing dream in my late teens.. It was about my mom or dad, or both-- I don't remember now. But one of the other or both had died and they were in a long line to go somewhere (heaven, I guess) and I ran to them, but they didn't see or hear me. That was a horrible dream. I guess I had fears about them dying. Yes, one can't really depend on dreams to foretell anything. So, one shouldn't get all upset about them.

Just one more story, because I don't know where else to put it. When I was around six or seven, our family lived on the second floor of an apartment building. There were open stairs in the front and closed-in stairs on the back with a back door propped open. One day I was going down that back stairs when halfway down I tripped and fell down the rest of the way. When I landed at the bottom, I was quite naturally shook up. And then a dog came through the door to me and I took hold of him and we hugged which made me feel so much better. And then he left, and I had never seen that dog before and never saw him again. Honest to God, true story. There is so much more to our existence than we know.

Well, now, that is really an interesting thought--a dream being some kind of warning to avoid a negative event. Very cool...and deja vu? Now you've got me thinking of a song. :)

Olivia, you got to me with that dog! Could it have been "sent"?

I didn't want to say it, because you know why. But I do believe that he was a guardian angel in the form of a dog. Because for a child, what could be a better form than that? And so comforting when so upset.
 
Once. In March, 1995, I dreamed that I was at the World Series watching the Cleveland Indians. Baseball aficionados will know that the Indians had not been in the World Series since 1954, and there was no reason at that time to expect them to make it to the series in 1995. I told my then husband about it the next day.

In October of 1995, I was in Cleveland attending games 3, 4, and 5 of the World Series!

That's pretty amazing!
 
As long as I can remember I've had dreams that contained warnings of various kinds, and I learned when I was young not to ignore them. Some of the warnings have been about people and some of them were places and events to avoid.

I have often solved problems or worked through issues in my sleep. When I was taking a lot of math and science classes in school, I would often solve equations or explore new theories. I've always thought those dreams were about being able to remove the usual mind clutter so the problem-solving part of my brain could go to work.

I also have dreams about people and animals I've loved who are no longer in my life. Those dreams are always healing. We talk or spend time together in beautiful places. Those dreams always feel very real and make me wonder if there are other planes of existence we can overcome in our sleep. I've never believed time is as linear as we're taught to believe. Maybe time is flexible enough for us to move around in it rather than being inhibited.

I was raised by a mother who believed we all have the ability to fly if we would only remove the barriers that keep us earthbound, so cut me some slack here.
 
I don't recall having dreams such as yours Olivia but in the past week and a half I have had two dreams in which I go back to my past which freaked me out. First dream I went back as a kid with my parents but with my knowledge of now and sometime in my dream I told my dad when my mom would die. In that dream I also wanted to remember particular buildings that I saw so I would remember them when I woke up. I had a similar dream around a week later with a girl I went out with in high school. I did something very similar in that dream too. We were back in high school and the dream and I told her that she would die at an early age which she did in real life. Still trying to figure out those dreams.
 
Does anyone here believe in the old wives tale that if you dreamed of losing all your teeth, that meant someone close to you was going to die soon? Did anyone ever have a dream like that?

I don't believe in dream interpretation in terms that every situation applies to everybody, but I have heard losing teeth represents some type of loss.

I've been pestered by precogs since I was a kid, and I have the same question: what could be the explanation- or, how are they possible.
My other question: what's the purpose? Perhaps everybody has his/her own experiences, but my precogs have always been about events in the future that I did not have any ability to change.
 
Sometimes I suddenly imagine the face and name
of a past co-worker or friend from long ago, this
can happen at any time of the day or night.

I never had an explanation for them, but one day
I thought that this was old friends who had died
and came to let me know and to say goodbye!

I can think of no other explanation.

When my mom was terminally ill in the hospital the last days of her life, I went to see her one day and she told me she had a dream the night before and she saw a nurse (dressed in a nurses uniform from years and years ago), and she was motioning with her hand and in a very sweet, soft tone asking my mother to come with her.
I got a call the next night at 4:30 in the morning, it was the hospital saying my mom had passed.

I'll never forget her telling me that or the visual of her dream. :love_heart:
 
Many years ago,when my eldest was 2 (so 48 years ago),my mom had taken her to the lake for the weekend. I was waiting up late for them to bring her home on Sunday night and fell asleep on the couch. I had a dream that my daughter came home with a big white bandage on her forehead with 4 stitches underneath. My mom woke me up coming in the door,carrying my daughter and she was shielding her face with her hand. Turned out my sister`s West Highland Terrier had bitten my daughter and she had three stitches at the corner of her mouth. I told everyone about this because it seemed so strange that I had that dream. Two weeks later,my daughter ran into the living room,tripped,fell and hit her head on the edge of our heavy coffee table. Off to the hospital,where she got four stitches and a big white bandage on her forehead,exactly like my dream!
