      This is mine too - I used to record my dreams and kept a journal. Some of them came true, and it was always random piddly details, not things one could see coming ahead of time, never anything useful. Dreams of being in a particular place and situation and seeing a particular someone I’d not seen in years, so specific it seems unlikely to be random. Like I would see what they would be wearing, or other details like that. And no I don’t expect it to convince anyone but me but because I was documenting the dreams I know for myself.

        I always thought it was my head messing with me until i started telling my friend about it. And then they still come true and at least she knows that it is not my memories being faulty.

        Have you ever tried changing the outcome? I feel like if we were to try this would cause a paradox and then we wouldn’t get the dream in the first place.

        I have thought about changing the outcome but I always come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be me if i did it. Like if i saw myself avoiding someone then it usually is that person does something later that i would avoid them anyways.

        Really interesting stuff but yeah most people wouldn’t believe us which is understandable.

          No, I never knew which were dreams of future, and which just dreamy dreams. No lucid dreams has ever been pregognative for me, so no changing them while dreaming either.

          At least twice I have dreamed with other people too, once I told my friend in a dream I was pregnant and she called the next day to congratulate me, (this was before social media and I had not told anyone else) and another time I got someone to call by finding them in a dream as I didn’t have their phone number.

          But the precog ones pissed me off - I was so mad because I didn’t want to believe the future was already set like that, and they weren’t vague enough that any other answer makes sense.

            I meant changing the outcome because you saw something in the dream.

            I don’t think the future is fully determined. Just some parts have to be because of our actions. I have some theories:

            Theory 1: maybe the universe is like a machine, and while it gives the impression that everything is possible, reality is that some outcomes are just not possible due to some limitation. Kinda like a game, you can have infinitely many possibilities of actions in an open world game but still there will be some options not possible because you choose some action at the start.

            Theory 2: maybe there really is someone who controls what happens in this universe. Like our dream is the announcement that something will happen but the enforcement happens later. And the exact nature of the enforcement depends on our and everybody else’s actions. In other words it is not decided what will happen but whatever happen will not go against the dream. We just dont know what other things could have happened given a dream.

            Of Course nobody knows the true nature, and we can only guess and ponder about it.

      When I was younger, right up through college age, I’d occasionally have precog dreams. Not dejavu — I’d dream an event, a place, a person, and then the event would happen, we’d go by that place, I’d meet that person. Our society does not believe in these types of things, so there is no way to learn how to maintain or build on these abilities, so they faded away.

      Very first one I really remember, our TV was out for repairs and I dreamt we got it back and my dad was watching my favorite show. I told my mom that morning about the dream, and she said, “they haven’t fixed it, we don’t know when we will get the TV back.” Came home from school and the TV was back!

        For me they briefly stopped but then started happening like crazy. But for me it is usually related to people around me like i dreamt about a boy playing in my house, turns out my sister was pregnant with a boy. She didn’t know the gender and i live in a different country so i never knew she was pregnant. She said she wanted to give me some important news. I said i already knew and then told my mom the gender of the baby.

        One interesting thing that i have noticed, sometimes video in the dream doesn’t match when it comes true but audio matches more often, do you also feel this?
