The thing is that you don't remember the dream until it happens!!! And sometimes you are able to predict what is about to happen. Is there some kind of a parallel universe in our minds or something like that?

We dream every night, five to seven times a night, even though we remember very few. Our dreams are about our current life issues and offer insights into solving problems or seeing things differently. Sometimes a dream will have some correspondence with a future event and this triggers to memory of the dream. It doesn't mean we foretold the future. Dreams are metaphors, so assuming they will be literally true can be upsetting as well as incorrect. If we dream that someone dies, it doesn't mean they're going to die -- at least not so soon, unless they're already ill and we expect it.
Sometimes we "know" what's going to happen because it's simply logical and our dreams (unconscious minds) prepare us for those events. It's not prophecy. Sometimes, we dream to practice handling events we're planning for, such as a job interview or a special event.
You are the final authority on what your dream means.

Deja Vue aside, sometimes you have the advantage of probability. For example, when the phone rings and I think "I bet that's my mom" - well, the odds are high if I left her a voice mail 20 minutes ago. Or let's say I have a Math test coming up - and I dream that I get a "B" on it. Well, it's a plausible dream if I already have a general idea of how well I know the material, how much I studied, and what I expect of myself (clearly I already know of the test, so it's not a coincidence I dreamed about it).
How many of these "predicted events" are mundane occurances (fender bender, dropping a fork, running into someone you know) vs. highly unusual occurances like a meteor landing on your lawn or winning a lottery that you never entered? The simpler the prediction, the higher the odds of it's fulfillment.
If you really think you have a psychic ability, you'd be rich, wouldn't you?

There is no parallel universe in our minds but the truth is that "everything that will happen , already happend" .Is that clear? I don't know if you understand me but be sure that everything every action is already done You just recieve some signals of that but not from your mind I'M EXACTLY JUST LIKE YOU I have a more complicated problem(actually I consider it a bless)

sometimes I feel as if God is preparing you for something ahead of time so that you are not afraid when that time comes
