For example, sometimes I have very vivid dreams...and once, a month or so before I was going to study abroad in a town where I had never been I had a very vivid dream. In this dream I was walking down the street and up ahead I saw this person in the crowd that really stood out. I remembered this person's face, clothes, the scenary,etc...Anyway, I woke up, thought it was a bit odd and let it go. When I did finally go study abroad I happened to be walking down the street and the whole thing came back to me and I saw the person from the dream! It was like deja vu but doesn't deja vu happen while you are awake? This was referring back to a dream...anyway, this person ended up be a very important person in my life and I learned so much from them I ended up taking a different path then I thought I would ever take in life....has this happened to anyone else?

After my grandmother passed away (my dad's mom, about 9 years ago)... I had a dream about her... the night before the Persian new year...
She told me that you have to walk through fire in this world in order to have an easy life (end up in heaven) in the next life...
And I remember her saying goodbye to me... and she walked into a fire that was over water... oh we were on planet earth by the way :D
And I followed her... the interesting thing was... that the entire fire turned into water... and it was cold instead of hot... and then my grandma was gone...
This dream has stayed with me ever since... I never again saw her in my dreams... I wish I would...
Anyways... I've always interpreted this dream as... I better suffer on planet earth rather than in the after life...
ANOTHER dream that I had...
Was the night before my friend's uncle passed away in the hospital...
He was in the hospital for about a month due to severe burns on his hands, arms, and chest... there was a gas leak in his house... he didn't know and turned on the lights... and everything went kaboom...
Anyways... I dreamed that there was an explosion from gas leak... and a guy died... and that we were going to his funeral...
an hour after I woke up... the hospital called (oh I was at my friend's house by the way)... and they said he had just passed away!!!
Talk about sixth sense! CREEPY! :D

Yes! That is synchronicity. Some might call it co-incidence but the effect goes deeper than that. Before humans had distractions like advertising and computers and industrialization there was thought, pure and simple. We have lost the ability to perceive occurrence as it happens at any given time and place. Welcome to precognition! I was asleep one night and dreamed I was flying over a volcano at the southern end of a Pacific island only to wake up the next day and hear Mount Pinatubo had erupted in the Philippines. I could go on with more examples. The effect is real, problem is we all have the ability to perceive but our brains are so overloaded the "vibes" can't get through. I believe that there is no such thing as co-incidence because co-incidence is really normal reality trying to break through our artificial reality. In the scheme of things, there would be no co-incidence because co-incidence could be the norm.

Not exactly. I have had dreams where a prayer was answered...for instance when I had a difficult decision to make. Not sure if it was from God or not but I took the dreams advice more or less and it worked out fine. Could have been my own thinking also. Can not claim otherwise...but God has always answered my prayers when I am awake, so why not in a dream?

I've had visions, and there are a few prophesies that God gave me. For example, there was one morning at camp that they told us that we were going to have an offering for missions that night. God told me to give a certain amount, which also happened to be all the spending money I had brought. For a long time, I resisted because I really wanted to buy stuff at the gift store. God kept telling me do it. He said that if I gave all that I had, we would raise $2,000. That seemed unlikely to everyone that I told this to because we had the smallest camp group of the summer, and the largest group hadn't raised nearly that amount. However, I trusted God and obeyed Him. Sure enough, to the pleasant surprise of most, we raised $2,000. That's just one example.

it happened to me recently....I prayed for God to tell me how a certain someone really felt about me and I prayed out loud for the first time (i usually do it in my thoughts) I asked God to be as clear to me as possible and then I said thanks. I checked my email and then fell asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes. i then woke from a vivid vision/dream of an email that vividly popped and made a loud pop that woke me up from someone that I was waiting to hear from and I checked my email and it was sitting there in the inbox and i was waiting for this...i had just checked my email and it wasn't there but when this woke me up i had to check and sure enough it was there.....THAN..this is the cool part. the next night i had another one of these vivid dream/visions, but it was like God was speaking to me so loud it was as if it was really happening....He showed me this person's thoughts on a page and said something to me really loud (quite personal) and everything that this person thought about me was said...i woke up from that in shock....and I couldn't believe what i was told and what i saw...i didn't believe a lot of it, but a couple days later, I saw on this person's blog that he thought EXACTLY that way about me...!!! that was cool
btw...i felt like the first vision was to prove to me that it was real....i never had this before and the only time it happened, it happened 2 days in a row

Umm... I'm not sure but you are going to find my dream crazy...
A couple years ago before holy week I had a dream that I was walking along a concrete wall and I saw a guy, with shoulder length hair that was dark brown, wearing a long white clothing, with a purple sash around his neck, when he walked right pass me I turn around and I thought I seen Jesus in my dream... It looked like Jesus...
I told my neighbor that and she told me that her mother had a dream before I had my dream where she'll walk into her room and saw Jesus sitting on her bed and she asked, "why aren't you in heaven?" and that is when he disappear...

Yes, this sort of thing has happened to me many times. It is a wonderful gift from God.
