i think i've talked about some of my dreams on here before--but i do think it is possible to dream an event before it really happens. the problem with the theory though, is that it is easy to attatch meaning to things when there really wasn't anything there. that goes for dreams and waking life both.

i've had dreams that looking back, i could say "oh, now i see what it meant" and maybe it did, or maybe i'm just attatching understanding because i want it to be there. then again, i've had dreams that were crystal clear--and then happened. in high school i dreamed i was on a school bus and the bus caught fire, no flames but smoke was everywhere and no one was hurt. thought it was a freaky dream and told friends about this weird dream i'd had--but i certainly didn't expect it to be true. a few days later, i went on a trip for school and something went wrong with the bus--no flames, smoke everywhere, and no one was hurt. there's no way i caused that to happen, but it was a dream that came true.

i've also had dreams where something happened and then happened in real life--but it was an expected event. someone dying who's been sick for a long time. not exactly shocking when that dream came true. i think this is just a way for me to further prepare myself for an event i'm not looking forward to.

if the actual event has to take place in order for me to understand my dream--then i think it is more me trying to make sense of weird dreams. if the dream is about something i'm expecting to happen, again, not exactly a dream that fortells the future. i do believe it happens, but i think most of the time, people want their dreams to make sense and so they use real events to explain them.
