I always have the dream then forget about it like any other dream until the event happens then all I can remember is I’ve seen this in my dream before

[thepochade]

It is real, to those of us that experience it 👍

[garrongruesbeck]

Its also known as manifestation. I swear sometimes I scare myself when I think somethinf in my mind and it happens literally days later

I'm 52 years old. I have been having precognition, hunches, visions of things to happen all my life. It's an absolutely fascinating experience. The ability to sense future events may be proof of life being programmed by some greater power, someone, or something. My "sensors" are way off compared to what a "normal" human being should have, a glitch in the system perhaps or a gift. This means we're not just meat and blood, we're vessels to run a "program" and this life is a temporary experience and a part of something way greater.

It is 100% real. I have been "dealing with it" my entire life. They become more frequent when traumatic events are in the near future particularly with ones closest to me.

Precognition has only happened to me once in my life. It started off as a daydream where I was in a van with some people but I had no clue who they were! There was a person in the seat next to me but I couldn't turn around to see who it was. I could also see someone in the front seat driving and another person riding shotgun. A few days later, I was at my friend's house and he invited me to come with him, his dad, and his grandma to some campsite an hour away for a Halloween party. After I agreed to come with them, I got in the car and the first thing that happened was that I instantly got deja vu! I noticed how familiar the inside of the car looked and the placement of the people around me. I realized that in that daydream, the person next to me was my friend, his grandma was riding shotgun, and his dad was driving! And then after that, I just started researching psychic abilities and then precognition (the ability to perceive future events days before they happen) was one of the ones that came up. So yes it is real!

It used to be every now and then but ever since 2016-2017 I've been in a constant state of seeing things years before they happen in real life.
I wish I knew how to control it because it definitely feels like a superpower imo.

My first precognitive dream I still remember perfectly; was when I was 7 years old, while sleeping in my mother's bed with her on red satin sheets. I had a dream that we both were asleep, just waking up, but on two separate couches in the living room. The sun was coming through the blinds so brightly. I got up and looked at my mother and her face had been torn completely off and was bloody. I screamed in the dream and covered my head then woke up. An exact week later on February 14th, 2005 she died from a drug overdose. The last thing we did was bake peanut butter cookies 🍪 Still my favorite. Thanks for reading.

I have been having these dreams as well and I feel weirded out when they actually come true in my real life.

When l was 4 year old(even younger) l would dream of what happen in months or even years but now it’s happening under 2 weeks.

[andreicucu]

I sense things before they happen. I’m like walking down the street and these images come to my mind, and the next day they are happening for real. It’s so scary, happened to me so many times..

[Beansontoast]

I experienced it in my sleep like 5 times and I actually dreamed of the future

My grandfather kept a written diary and occasionally added details of his dream in his diary, with the earliest entry regarding a dream written in late november of 1988. When he died in 2002, we flipped through his belongings and found his diary. We would read it often, but we later noticed four or three years ago that in a dream entry my grandfather had written in october 1992, he had dreamed that his house and his neighborhood along with the streets would be flooded and completely submerged under the Yangtze river (He was living in Fengdu, Hubei at that time, which was a city near the Yangtze but never flooded since the 1950s). Sure enough, exaclty 7 years after his death, the entire city of Fengdu was flooded by the Three Gorges Reservoir in 2009. The dream was recorded in 1992, which was 2 years before the Chinese government ever announced the start of the construction of the Three gorges dam, which can only be explained by the fact that my grandfather had dreamed about what would happen nearly 17 years later. I haven't experianced precognition in my dreams before, but I highly suspect that my grandfather had experianced it.

I know it's real. Was very extreme for me.

I have witnessed a this many times in my life on of them is 'in my dream i am taking to my friend about something and after 4 or 5 days i see the exact time and topic being discussed or talked with the same friends this clicks me and i said to my friends that i have seen this happening im my dreams'
Am i seeing my future?

This has happened to me 3 times now, the 3rd being today. I remember dreaming about very specific things and either days or around two months later it would happen. It never exceeded two months though. I remember dreaming about working on an Art piece and it was taking awhile, then my art teacher comes and walks over to my table in my dream, and says “THAT, should have not taken you as long as it did” and a week later it happened almost exactly how it did when I dreamt about it, same angle and everything.

I've had precognitive dreams from a very young age. And it's really fascinating. I also dream of others for example once I dreamt that my far cousin sis has applied for a new job, and she got selected. So after like two weeks we got a phone call from my aunt giving us the happy news that my cousin sis applied for Air hostess and she got selected. Also one night I dreamt that my childhood friend's parents got divorced. It saddens me, I didn't had her no at that time. But after some few days I got her no, I called her up and I confirmed it. One night I dreamt that our maid ran away. So next morning I called up my dad (I was in the hostel in different state) and asked about it. My dad said "yes she did, she ran away with her bf very early this morning" he was literally shocked and asked me how did I got the news? And many more dreams like that. And when i dream about myself, gives me chills. Cause I don't know when it's going to happen. Like some bad dreams scares the shit out of me (which I don't wanna write down here) . Cause I don't know when it's going to happen but unfortunately it does happen and we can't change it.. Wish we could change it since we saw it coming. 🙁🙁🙁

This is absolutely fascinating! Once upon a time I was talking about precognition with a friend and we came to the conclusion that from a purely evolutionary standpoint even limited prescience would be a MASSIVE boon to any species!

Think of it this way: The eye started out as a collection of photosensitive cells on the head of some creature a long, long time ago, and it was also massive since now the creature could detect light, dark and, more importantly, shadows! Now it had an early warning system for danger and/or pray in its surroundings leading to greater chance of finding food and surviving danger, almost immediately ensuring that the next generation would have the same light sensitive cells. Then over time these limited cells were evolved and refined to the eyes we have today.

Now imagine the same with viewing: A random creature long ago mutated and randomly received a way to detect events that haven't happened yet, even if it's as vague as "just a feeling". Even if it's just on a "good or bad" level, even if it's just 0.5 to 3 seconds into the future it's still enough to make a massive difference! Imagine a prey animal that sometimes receives a 1.5 second heads up before a predator strikes? Or a predator that can sometimes "sense" where a prey item is, even if it is currently several kilometers away? The chance of surviving to produce offspring would be massive compared to others of it's kind, even if it was far from reliable!

... And then we dropped the discussion because the lunchbreak was over and we never spoke of it again.

Now almost 15 years later I saw "Third Eye Spies" here on youtube, and apparently as many as 70% of the human population experience precognitive events at some point in their lives. I guess it makes sense that precognition is something we have evolved as a species. It's a shame that it's not studied as much as it is, it would be so cool if we could find scientifically proven ways to improve and use these surprisingly natural skills in everyday life!

I myself  had a dream that I distinctly remember that came true about three months later in every detail...It was a suprise to me but it was very real .SO my conclusion is that the future or what we thing as the future has already happened...

[DrAgSwAg]

100% real but you have no control over whn its going to happen. I had a dream of a bike wheel folding in half, and a feeling of dread as it wasnt my bike and was now damaged.
The next day i ended up lending a friends bike, messing around doing a few skids .. and guess what the back wheel folded in half exactly like in the dream. Iv never folded a bike wheel in half before or since the dream, had others too just as convincing. Not sure what it means dont know if it was a warning or the future has happened allready and i got a glimpse
