if you don't fully realize they're prophetic until afterward?I had a profound dream a week before I uprooted my life and moved across the country to live with an old friend who had recently become a lover. At the time, I had no reason to suspect anything could possibly go awry and was really excited to begin my new life. In the dream, I came home to our apartment only to find it was cast in permanent shadow. All the furniture was dark, all the windows were shaded, and there was only low, yellow, artificial light inside. I walked into what would soon be our bedroom to find a large victorian-era mahogany writing desk that somehow contained every one of my poems standing alone in the middle of the room. It was covered in dark maroon ink, however, and every one of my poems was stained to the point of being unreadable. I picked up a stack of the papers that were meant to be my old poems, all stuck together with runny dark pink and still wet. I put the papers up to my mouth and began to ingest what ink I could, trying to lick it off the papers, swallowing giant gulps of color that tasted like nothing. Suddenly, my stomach wretched and I began to cough it all back up, right back on to the desk and back on to my now unreadable poems. Everything about that dream screams "DO NOT DO THIS" but yet- I did???? The dream did unsettle me, but then I rationalized it away by telling myself that I couldn't live my life by my dreams alone. Now I wish I had! Talk about a complete and total psychic disaster! After three months of spending all my money on him and dealing with his alcoholism/drug abuse, I walked in one him with the only friend I'd managed to make separate from him in town! It's been years and I'm still recovering. My question: why do we have starkly prophetic dreams like this if we aren't going to listen to them? IP: Logged |

Great question!
Maybe just to plant a seed so that when they do come true, your not so shocked and surprised because on some level, you already knew it was going to happen.I have these too, its always death. I usually know within, literally a week to a month when someone close to me is going to die.
I was wrong once, but he did literally "die" on the table, only to be brought back. IP: Logged |

GypseeWind, you're probably right. If only I could stop smacking myself in the face for not listening to my inherent intuition!I can't even imagine what it must be like being able to prophesize death with your dreams. Do you ever feel like Cassandra? IP: Logged |

well, see thats what is so surreal about it, because you dream it, know it, but still deny it, especially if its someone close.
I'm good with pregnancy too. Birth and death, I don't get really too much more than that.
I dream in numbers as well, I've seen the store in a dream where I hit the lotto, and I had someone drive me all over the place until I found a very close building, then I DID NOT play, how crazy is that?
I froze up thinking that money would change me, corrupt me or something bad would happen in exchange for that good thing.
I guess I'm weird. No, I know I'm weird.IP: Logged |

we have them to learn to trust our intuition and realize that logic is not better than intuition, just different. quote:
