Ever dreamt of a place & then later on found it's a real place.?A couple of months ago I dream that there was a large university in my town that I had never seen before. There was a student party going on there and people having fun and dancing on the lawns, anyway I was on facebook yesterday and one of my fb friends posted a picture of the very place I dreamt of.. I've never been there, never heard of it before, but there it was.. just as in my dream, but fifty miles or so away from here built in the late 19th century. So weird!!! I don't know what to make of it. Its not a prophecy dream, so why would I dream of that place?? IP: Logged |

Linda believed that we visit the future sometimes while asleep, so maybe you visited that place.------------------ I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be. IP: Logged |

Yes, it must be something like that. I just don't know what, does everything means something in some immeasurable way; even dreams.? IP: Logged |

I do believe that. And if you had forgotten the dream and then visited the place, you would have had deja vu.------------------ I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be. IP: Logged |

Yes absolutely! That is the place, its quite distinctive looking; which is how I remembered seeing it in my dream so well. The only difference is that in the dream it was in my town and not 40 miles away.

Yep. It happened to me, and when I got there, I did have deja vu.I dream of a house that I've never been in. I'm always excited there, b/c it's MY house and it has a lot of charming little things about it. Closets in strange places and stuff. It's not a huge mansion or anything, but it has a lot of S P A C E. I look forward to living there one day, if I can just find the dang place. lol IP: Logged |

That has happened to me many many times in my life to date! For example; knowing the layout and specific details of places I would later live in; sometimes the dreams came many decades earlier.

Yes, I too dreamed of a place that I had never been. I visited that very same place the next year. I dreamed about a lighthouse in a park and of a man holding a child, telling my family and I that the lighthouse was closed until Monday. The next year in a visit to Erie Pa, for the FIRST time in my life. We asked if there was a park nearby and was directed to that very same park from my dream! It had a land lighthouse museum and just as we pulled up the man, holding the child came out and told us that the museum was closed until Monday. IP: Logged |

Definitely some kind of prescience from our dreams,to what purpose though? Can you see any reason why you dreamt of that? its a mystery... IP: Logged |

Yes, I almost fell while climbing down a cliff to the beach and I twisted my ankle very badly in the park. I remember that feeling of fright, while climbing and it was total deja vu ...IP: Logged |

I don't know the purpose of such things, but I do think about them a lot.You know how they say we only use a teeny tiny bit of our brain and all that.. maybe these sort of experiences are just a peek at what abilities we COULD all have, locked somewhere inside us.. The innate knowing where to go, the seeing of ones true home. All that stuff would come so much in handy in regular life, wouldn't it?? But, if we had that, we wouldn't make as many mistakes, and then, maybe we wouldn't learn as much? I think the answer is tied up in there some where. But, I'm not a philosopher by any means.

I do agree. There is some reason to it that we cannot divine.? our brain is like a computer that we don't know how to work.

I think the brain is built with a safety net to keep us from being inundated with all of this sensory information at once.------------------ "Fall down 100 times, get up 101...this is success." --ME IP: Logged |

but.. if we could correctly predict our future through dreams, would that destroy the concept of free will.? Confusing...! IP: Logged |

Has anyone read the book Feeding the Flame by Lobsang Rampa, in it he describes how when we sleep we go on little trips to visit people we know. This string reminds me of that book I read.  IP: Logged |
