Ever had a dream that came true?

I've had several experiances were I'll see just visions of things for no signifigance at the time and it ends up having to work into something that has happened. Although I must say that it could be explained through relevance. For example I could have had dreams where i've gotten new movies or games and then in turn i've gone out the next day and gotten video games or movies and then pinned my dreams as a future seeing technique when it could have been explained in several various ways such as: 'Thats a day were I go shopping' or 'Someone else already planned to get me that stuff'. (This didn't actually happen but it's an example) It could simply being the subconcious trying to show me something I find interesting as a whole that's just so relevant to everything else that it has happened.

I've had dreams were i've written several lyrics and remembered them after wards and used them, I find that something very interesting even if it's not directly related to this topic.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The events that I did dream came true when I was young and don't happen much these 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.

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.

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

Was it self-fulfilling or no?

So far, nobody built a giganterous robot with two merely giant robots symbiotically attached to it for me to fight like in a recent dream.

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.

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.

well, ive had dreams that came true with the same people except different time and location

i experienced it but a dream is no diff from real life experience. lets say u had a good day or had happy thoughts then u would sorta over exaderate the happy thought. also if u horny throught day u end up having sex dreams 0.0 lolz

i have had a dream where i looking at somtin odd for 5 mins then 1 year l8er i see it again

Huh? My Yamamanama deduction skills are telling me that dreams are basically real life experiences only exaggerated, which may be true sometimes, but I've had dreams where I was piloting a rocket-powered shopping cart in a setting that was like a mix of Last Exile and Texhnolyze when I was expecting them to be filled with existential angst. And, as I already mentioned, my dreams coming true would not be a good thing in many cases.
