Sleep Problems

Devon F asked:


I used to have dreams that came true on a fairly often basis. I’ll admit the content was not usually happy scenarios, and sometimes I would dream about something completely random that would come true. The prophetic dreams usually happened in my late teens and 20s.

A few examples: I had a dream once that I saw a guy’s body go over the side of an overpass, on a freeway. The next day I went into work and told my co-workers about this dream…..that very night when we got out of work there were cops everywhere, turns out a 19 year old guy taped a suicide note to himself and jumped off the overpass, right next to my work. Needless to say after that everyone I worked with was “creeped out” by my dreams. Also, the district manager of my old job used to come to our store 2-3 times a year, and every time right before he would visit I would dream of him being there. My dreams turned out to be so accurate my manager would always make me tell him ahead of time so he could clean and prepare!
There are many other examples I could give……I used to dream of couples I knew of breaking up, even divorcing, and within 2-3 days they would split. One time I dreamt my friend was in the hospital, and the night before she had been in a car accident. Not all my dreams were bad, probably about 70% were of “unhappy situations”. I would tend to tell people about “this weird dream I had” and then it would come to pass. This would really freak people out, I guess I was used to it. I got to where I kinda stopped telling people, cuz they just thought it was weird and I think it scarred them.

Anyway, I was wondering first of all if maybe I just outgrew this….or why it doesn’t happen much anymore. And also, what the point is to these types of dreams in the first place if I wasn’t able to help anyone with the information I was given.
