i tend to dream the near-future, within a couple weeks or so. they're typically very mundane, but extremely vivid. unfortunately, i usually dismiss them because they're so random. you would think that I wouldn't do any dismissing after a while, but they always seem to have little meaning. i've always been very busy as well, so have never delved very deeply into them.
although i can remember one awful premonition, and this wasn't a dream. when I was 14 or 15, my mom told my two brothers and I that she was pregnant again. we all had our looks of shock, but I think I was the only one who didn't feel very good. I said the typical phrases -- "That's great, Mom" -- and started to walk downstairs. She asked what was wrong and I said that I felt weird. She asked "Good weird or bad weird?" I lied and said "Good". A few months later, three months before the baby was to be born, she gave birth to a premature baby boy, to be named after my father, who was able to take one breath in my mother's arms but was officially a stillborn.
I'll never forget that one, I can assure you.
