Hi everyone, I want to share something strange that happened with one of my dreams.

My partner’s parents sold their apartment, and the buyer went to remove the basement floor. A water damage incident started, and my partner’s father had to pay the new owner about €15,000. That happened about a year ago.

About 3–4 months ago, I had a dream where my brother, who owns a construction company, went to repair my in-laws’ old house. When I woke up, I wondered if something like that could happen in the future.

I ended up forgetting about the whole thing—until yesterday, when my brother called my dad. I overheard him saying that he was at the address where my partner’s parents used to live. I was surprised, because I had thought about this months earlier. Usually, when I have a déjà-rêvé dream, I don’t remember it until the moment actually happens. But this time I somehow knew something was going to happen—or actually I didn’t know for sure, because I didn’t know if it would happen.

I didn’t tell any of my family members, because I’ve talked about these dreams before and it hasn’t turned out well for me. I’m still trying to understand the meaning behind all of this, and I would never claim I know why some people have these kinds of dreams. The world is a very strange place. But I just wanted to share this with you, because you really can’t talk about these things with normal people without them thinking you’re crazy or weird. :D

  • Yes, that is a good example of precognition via a dream, it could be your brain was like on a side quest and it guessed this might happen so gave you a dream about it?

    You’re probably right about that. I get these déjà-rêvé-type moments very often, and they’re usually connected to everyday things in my life. But personally, I believe there’s something deeper going on that I don’t fully understand. I’ve received information in dreams about new people I was going to meet, and I’ve even gotten warnings that later turned out to be accurate. In Montague Ullman’s book Dream Telepathy (or The Revealing Dream, depending on the edition), there’s a lot of discussion about these kinds of precognitive dreams, if someone wants to read more about the topic

    I have read that explanation for why these dreams happen too.
