Do dreams come true?

Have you ever had a dream come true? I have, every time one of my mothers siblings is about to die I dream about her. The dreams are not nightmares, for example when her youngest sister died, before I new that she had died I dreampt that my mother was standing on my porch quarelling because the neighbours had cut down a fruit tree loaded with friuts and she thought that it was such a waste. Another time she was sitting at a picnic table talking and laughing with the other siblings and in-laws that had died before, and they kept looking around as if they were waiting for someone to arrive. Has any one had anything like this happen to them? If I dream that I am combing my hair there is always a bad motor vehicle accident that I witness on the same day of the dream. It can be pretty frightening sometimes as I dont know who is going to die.

Yes. Sometimes when i see it in reality i wonder where i saw this scene. Little weird but it's true. One day i was standing with my best friend along the street we were looking to the children playing. i told her that i almost seen this scene. I really wonder where i saw it. Until i remember that it was on my dream.

All dreams are true, but most are not literal. They are about you, and no one else, revealing what you really feel about characters and situations. This is only my opinion, and have no scientific validity.

I dream in colour, my son dreams in black and white. I had to ask him several times to really believe him. He has dreams that are unrealistic and all my dreams are possible reality. We are all unique and our minds retain a vast amount of information that we have been retaining in our subconscious all or lives. We therefore dream about events that we see on TV, movies, read in books, magazines, newspapers, talked about or heard about. We don't just dream about ourselves but about everything we have ever heard about or seen on this planet and beyond.

i dont think so ..maybe you relate it to real life but making it come true is another thing ..you cant really believe that dreams come true, it is in the persons mind that you want something to happened and here comes a dream that complement that want ..^^

It's very possible jailo, It has happened to me so I know for a fact that t is very possible. How they are interpreted is the key. If you have never made an attempt to find out the meanings of what you dream you will never know if they have come true or not.

Thanks Phong. It can be pretty frightening sometimes when I wonder if something is going to happen to a loved one and then I feel so guilty when it happens to someone else.

I haven't dreamed of people dying before, but I have had plenty of dreams that came true before. I don't really care what "experts" say or believe, there are a lot of people who have these same experiences. Of course, not every dream I have is what I think of as a "future dream." Sometimes it is just the subconscious working or sometimes it's just eating pizza before bed or even at times dreams will be triggered by a book I read or a movie I saw. Still, there are inexplicable dreams that do come true later on. You seem to dream in with a lot of symbolism. I do that as well at times and other times, although not as often, it's more concrete. And I've heard all that about how your dreams are just your subconscious working, etc. but I think this subject just tends to scare people. Everyone in my family had dreams off and on that came true in some form or another as long as I can remember. This wasn't particularly unusual when I was growing up. Many years ago, when my husband was still in the military, we were driving on the way to go to California for our next transfer. Along the way I had this vivid dream about living close to a sewage plant. It was horrible. It was so real I could smell the raw sewage in my dream. I woke up and told my husband about it. When we got to our destination we found we would have to wait several months to get into military housing, so we were looking for a place we could afford to rent at that time.. We didn't know anything about the area and finally found a small house kind of off by itself. It wasn't fancy but it looked okay on the surface. We were just about to sign the papers with the landlord when his oldest daughter came home. She jumped all over him for trying to rent us that property. Not only did the property have a lot of structural hidden damage that needed to be repaired before being rented again, but turned out there was a major sewage plant close behind it and since the home wasn't air conditioned and the windows had to be open a lot of the time with the warmer climate she said the sewage smell in the evenings was terrible (keep in mind this was years ago before all the pollution standards were in place) and that the overwhelming smell might make us sick. So, since she happened to walk in just in the nick of time, we didn't rent the house. So why would I have had that sewage dream ahead of time if dreams just are a part of your subconscious from your life or whatever? I didn't notice any sewage plants on the drive out there, I didn't smell any. I have had many dreams like this over the years, way too many to discount out of hand as just my subconscious working on some problem from the day or so on. Of course, there are a lot of dreams like that, but there are others I can't explain that do come true. I think loads of people have had such dreams, they may just be afraid to say so, but, yes, there are others who have dreams that do, indeed, come true. Maybe not down to every detail in some case, but it happens.

Thanks for your response Windchimebooks. I have noticed that many of the persons that respond don't think this is possible, but for us who have had the experience we know that it is. Its like when the world was thought to be flat. Who would have believed the man that insisted that it was round? They would have ridiculed him or at worse burnt him for being a sorceror. Any thing is possible in this wonderful world of ours that God made. who are we to question the possibilities? after all the Bible says that we were made in His image!

I have learned from the experts that dreams or nightmares do not come true or happen in the future. Instead, they are just events or your worries that are stored in your subconscious memory, and when you are asleep, your brain is rewinding them resulting to your having a bad dream.

Those 'experts' have never had one of their dreams come true in their life. I dreampt that I was combing my hair one night, when I woke in the morning I told my father that he should be careful with his driving as someone was going to be in a bad accident. 45 minutes later I watched a woman drive through an intersection right into a man on a motorbike, hitting him across the road and her car ending up sitting on top of him. Where is the subconscious memory in that? There was no bad dream, usually I am talking with someone who is combing my hair or I am just getting ready at the start of the day. That is just one of the symbolic occurances that I have when I dream. It doesnt happen often somtimes not for many months, but when it does happen the event always occurs.

Dreams Dreams are part of life. ya, they just show the feelings in our inner heart. Our innermost feelings and sorrows are shown in dreams. They help us to relax from our sorrows and feelings.

They say that dreams come form your subconscious to help you deal with events that have taken place, but if the event has not yet occured how can that be in your subconsious?
