Dreams come true / Deja Vu

[Pinky`]

Almost every person on this planet dreams. Some of them have predicting dreams. So do I.

When I have a predicting dream, I feel nervous and slightly sick. I have no idea when these dreams come true, but I will know when it does. When the dream is about to come true, I begin to feel nervous and sick, just as when i dreamt.

In these dreams i come in a situation I've never been in before, I see people i've never seen before and i remember these things exactly as they were in the dream. I hear conversations in the dream. When that dream comes true, the conversation doesn't take place, but i can recall exactly how the conversation went. Most of the time these conversations are very whiney, like an annoying small child whining for candy.

These dreams come true when I'm in a stressfull period, or when it's very warm, like last night. I was making a puzzle, i had just about finished, and there it began. I began to feel sick and nervous, whiney voices came up in my head and i knew exactly what i was going to do.

My mother told me that my grandfather had predicting dreams as well, and felt the same way when the dreams came true. Too bad he's gone now... I would like to have talked to him about this.

Anyone else here who has predicting dreams? Tell me what it's like for you.

I've prowled the web for this, and it seems i'm not the only one, just wondering how it feels for others... Thanks for any info :)

[EDIT] People who think this is just coincidence, don't bother to reply. thank you :)

[hynzytheweirdo]

Yeah, I get them. They're more still images of something, then the next day/a couple days later I'll be going along and I'll see the scene depicted in one of these stills.

They don't last that long, and I don't get any side-effects from them. I sometimes get snippets of conversation, but it's usually just one line each from two or three people in the scene - people I know.

So far it's mostly been classroom stuff, like when I walk through the door there's the scene in the classroom, that person drawing that, that person with that mobile in the hand.

I've not had any for a while though, I don't think.


It's a glitch in The Matrix, that's what it is (not to make your situation seem stupid, I just thought it fitted in as a joke).

[Jakkydarkness]

Yeah, I get them. actually. I had one today. O_o

I dreampt ages ago, about my dad taking the piss out of me for not buying a guitar cos it didn't have bats on.

Go to look for a guitar todya, and him and his mate are like "OH. You don't that! It doesn't have bats"

This is all to do with the human mind trying to find reasons for everything, and trying to link things together.

What's really happening is just coincidence, but because it happens, it stays in your mind, and as you experience more coincidences you begin to build a false theory.

In reality, you probably have many many more dreams that don't come true, but you don't remember them, because why should you?

The number of events that have come true after you've dreamed about them is infinitely small in comparison to the number of events to come true without you dreaming about them. The fact you dreamed about them just make them stand out and you make false assumptions. It's just human nature.

I dreamt ages ago I was playing Halo 3 with Alex, when I didnt know anything about Halo, and it happened, and I was like 'whoa'

Deja vu is fun. It makes you feel powerful. Like a psychic or something.

[mat-tracteur561]

its not m who having dreams but my girfreind keeps saying shes dreaming that we have 4 daughters together now a freind of mine who practices white magic done the power cristal thing and said that we and my girfreind would both have 4 daughters i mean WTF is up with that freaky

[Erskien_Parkour]

You should probably cut your losses and run

[Judus]

Last one i remember deja vu'ing properly i nailed eveyr last detail for about 2 miniutes.
My family are a bit strange with things like this never anything bordering on super powers.
Mabye slightly empathic, we can useually tell if somebody's arrived in the country (even when its a surprise visit), one of my cousins is tuned toanother cousin and her teeth shake when the other comes to visit from Africa.
Once or twice in my past i've walked in on conversations i havn't heard anything about and just pointed at people and said the words they're about to say not becuase i've dreamed them though. Could do it better whe i was younger.

We also notice things others don't, often i tell mates there phone is ringing they pick it up and it's not then it rings in there hand.
Ex flatmate of mine was cooking and i asked if her BF was coming over, she said no, i said are you sure, she said yeah absolutly, then the door bell rang and it was him.
Even visited a mate at her flat a year or so ago and we're all watching a movie in the dark (middle of a field dark). And i saw a mouse/rat run past my field of view, they thought i was BS'ing because of the movie. 2 weeks later they spot 1 in the day and call the pest squad in.

Am pretty sure we can all sense stuff outside of the 5 normal senses.

deja vu is your brain mislabeling time, that is, it takes in current events and feelings and either gets mixed up with a past feeling or event and labels them the same or simply gets confused and attempts to catch up by labeling current events as the past

tldr; deja vu is nothing mysterious, stop being lame

Thank you, both of you. Stopped me having to type these things and getting depressed at the state of humanity and rational thought.

Ok, i know it happens to some people here too. But in none of these posts is how you FEEL when this happens, when you feel like this has happened before.

And i have lots and lots of dreams, it's true. Some dreams i remember, but those don't 'come true'. During the dream that i know is going to come true, i get sick and nervous. When i wake up, i don't remember anything apart from the feeling i got. When the dream 'comes true', i get that same feeling, and then i know i dreamt it before. Or at least 'did it before'.

So. I just want to know how you feel when you realise you dreamt about something before. Might just be the intense feeling of power, but i just get sick and almost feel like fainting.

[Harlequin374]

You're still convincing yourself that it was anything other than pure fluke?

Look, you end up with a few coincidences, and you think to yourself "oh that's weird, it can't be coincidence. I must be psychic!" whereas, the reality is that it is coincidence and you're just subconsciously wish you have super powers.

You don't.

EDIT: The fact you felt sick a couple of times is also pure coincidence, or just something you ate.

[Pinky`]

the sickness was just when i had the deja vu. it doesnt last. so it has nothing to do with food.

I hate it when people dont take me serious.

These deja vu's come when i'm about to have my period, when the hormones are going insane.

[malcolio]

These deja vu's come when i'm about to have my period, when the hormones are going insane.I think we've found the problem here.

Fixed:

When I'm about to have my period I experience the feeling of deja vu, when the hormones are going insane.

Methinks you're confusing cause and effect there.

I myself feel deja vu and have weird dreams, but then because I can hardly remember details of my dreams it doesn't surprise me that I feel like I'm living occurances I've already felt before. The human brain is an easily fooled thing like that. :D

[Roachy]

Dude, I had a dream about a little boy getting hanged once and in the news about 2 days later a little boy had been found hanged. Think it was something to do with childsplay gone wrong.

I chalk it up to pure coincidence myself.

Wooaah.

[Pinky`]

okay, so then i'm insane.

case closed.

[by crikey!]

deja vu does happen more when you are in the teenage years and it is due to hormones. i used to get it alot when i was younger and still get odd moments now.

[Goshmo]

I had a dream about kissing this girl.
3 days later i did kiss that girl.

Does that count?

[Ryanstorm]

I had a dream about molesting this girl.
3 days later i did molest that girl.

Does that count?

Fixed

[Norbington]

okay, so then i'm insane.

case closed.

No one said you were insane we just said that your not being rational about your experiences.

[Rabengakev]

Yeah, i have this often.

Or at least i did during my school year; oddly, since splitting up i've not had any. Maybe it's because all i do is sit around online/on the Wii all the time now.

The most vivid one i can remember clearly would be when i was about 10, that kinda age. I was on Pokemon Snap the night before and stuck trying to gain entrance to the third level from the second. So i gave up and went to sleep. I had a dream of myself playing the game (from a first person perspective) chucking fruit at an Electrode to open the entrance.

So i got up the next day, and this is the only dream of this type i've remembered, and remembered the dream. I tried it, and it worked.

YEAH.

[malcolio]

okay, so then i'm insane.

case closed.As Norbington said, nobody has said you are insane and I doubt anyone thinks you're insane either. You just need to accept the possibility that there are other reasons why you might be experiencing synchronicity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity).

As an example, people often say that street lamps magically go out when they're near them. At first glance this seems remarkable, but not when the mind will not recall the hundreds of thousands of times that a lamp hasn't gone out, compared to the few that have. How many dreams have you had that haven't turned out to be reflected in life, compared to the few that have? It's just the mind trying to find meaning in random events, apophenia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia). That doesn't make you insane, that makes you human!

EDIT: Also (huzzah for wikipedia) hindsight bias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindsight_bias) applies here: "...subjects also tend to remember their predictions of future events as having been stronger than they actually were, in those cases where those predictions turn out correct.".

This.

Same basic principle if people start talking about seeing a certain number everywhere.

Good thing too, else a guy I know will come up to me in a days and tell me he has cancer ... :O

Hahah damnit that is so true, I have that so often! Figured it out when I was 12 or something, but it's still kinda fun. Never works when I want it to

During the dream that i know is going to come true, i get sick and nervous.

When I get a gigantic dejavu it feels pretty weird too, but since I know* what it really is I get on with my day, if you keep focusing on these events, like, say, start posting in forums about them, you're only going to get more confused people backing you up with stories of all the weird thing they have encountered

I mean, that is basically why you posted this thread isn't it, to get confirm your own believes :)?

* read "I think is true based on facts and info I've read"

[Pinky`]

All i wanted to know if there were other people on the ofrums who have these kinds of experiences. I'm not thinking that i'm psychic or anything.

Strange. As soon as i call myself insane, there are people who take this serious, and have a proper explanation of this stuff, that is not just 'coincidence'.

Coincidence is not scientific enough for me :P I am a scientific person and i look for a proper explanation for this kind of stuff.

Anyway, thanks :)

[Harlequin374]

What? I had a proper explanation for this ages before you claimed to be insane. Thanks for ignoring it.

Then again, you seem to only take notice of the stuff which supports your theory, which is how you came up with it in the first place. By ignoring all the evidence to the contrary.

[Pinky`]

i have not ignored it, but i can see this is going to be a very nasty thread from now on.

and once again, i made this thread to see if there were people who feel the same way i do when this happens.

I will now leave this thread to die.

[Harlequin374]

I'm not being nasty, but I don't like the way you say you're not ignoring the rational argument, then still go on looking for other people to agree with you.

[nowhereman]

When I saw the thread title I thought you were quoting the lyrics of 'Surfer Girl' by the Beach Boys.

I was disappointed :(
