    I am going to sound odd ...but as a child I had a few dreams that then happened the following day. Nothing major, I dreamt about going to a river and it had a whirlpool which we then saw. I dreamt about driving past a house with horses where a relative lived, we did and my Dad told me that my Uncle lived there years before (no photo's so I culdn't have known). There were others too...
    About 15 years ago, I had my only car crash and as I went out that morning, I knew I was going to have a car crash. I can't remember whether I dreamt it or not.
    It was so weird.

    I told the guy who I was with afterwards, I didn't want to freak you out this morning, but I just knew we were going to crash today.
    Nothing else has happened like it.

    Is that fate?
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Me too. I've been in situations where I've dreamed the whole event including specific conversations. Makes me go cold when I realise that I already dreamed it and know what will happen next. Nothing major or lifechanging just - odd. :eek:

    I have had many actual dreams that come true. I may have 3-6 a year. i won't go into details as most of them have not been nice and the only person i tell is my daughter just incase i have got it wrong or people think i am crazy.
    Love is: A little bit of everything
    A dream: take you away from reality
    Hope is: What get you through
    A smile: Doesn't cost a penny

    I have had the whole conversation thing too, often a couple of years later but can remember word for word the conversation that is going to happen. It is nice that it is others too, thought I was just a bit odd!

    Lotus eater - i predicted a car crash when I was a teenager, a car overtook us (not driving dangerously) and I said "oh my god, that car is going to drive up the bank and roll over", about half a mile up the road the coach we were in drove past the overturned car... Now that really freaked me out!

    The thing is I am such a level headed person that these "events" are not really like me. A bit like when my Dad tells his ghost story, I believe him because he is not the sort to make it up!

    That's the thing. People think you're crazy. Let me tell you about my dream... er... :o

    Buying our house was a wonderful coincidence situation. A chance find on a website, a moment in our lives where we earned enough money to get a mortgage but not too much to disqualify us from the shared ownership scheme. It was touch and go a few times, but 2 years on I still have to pinch myself that we are really living here. :j

    I was watching the movie UP yesterday, which always makes me a weepy mess, and what especially gets me is that the day to day gets in the way of the couples dreams, until its too late for the wife. The moral for the husband eventually is that growing old together was the real adventure. I hope that when I get to the end of the mortal coil I can look back and have that kind of perspective!

    I am a big believer in fate/luck/karma/dreams/signs.

    I occasionally have very vivid dreams which come true, thankfully nothing too scary has ever happened.
