Dreams That Predict The Future

Oh Lord, I had an awful, heart-pounding, terror-stricken hyper-real 3D surround sound blockbuster dream this morning before awakening, the first really bad one on this premonitory level for about a decade.

I'm going to type up the details here and hope to Heaven it's not foretelling anything for anyone.

It's France or a French-culture country, it's dusk or night, a huge flash flood and landslip/land tide is happening and narrow, valley-like streets are being engulfed. People are running and screaming for their lives, climbing up walls and fences, even on vehicles trying to escape. The water and earth and debris are spilling over the higher places already, quicker than people can move..

In the dream I was clinging to the top strand of a wire fence at the top of a hill side but the water and earth was already flowing over me from both directions, it was icily cold and I was about to die.

Sounds terrifying.

I'm fascinated on two points. ..first, egotistically wondering if I can find a link between your much more vivid dream and my more cryptic dreams of a disaster. The only obvious common point is the panicked fleeing crowds ..though one could suggest that's a given for most disaster scenarios.

More generally though it sounds like you felt all the emotional responses to your dream both during and, in a lingering sense, on waking from it. That interests me as I was thinking the other day how I almost never wake from a dream with any sense at all of having felt what I described. I will visualise panic but never perceive that I personally experienced it.

The only exceptions I can recall were a series of supernatural themed dreams where I was being attacked by something invisible and was giving the whole exorcist spiel....and the even rarer occasions where I've woke up laughing!
 
Can I cross reference myself here? I had a dream/half-dream on the night of 04 June and recorded it here on the 'what did you dream of last night' thread, that I drew a curtain back and saw a young man of about 14 peering in through my downstairs window.

On Sunday I had two local lads cleaning my car. One of them tapped on the downstairs window to ask for another bucket of water (okay, I didn't draw back the curtain and see him because I don't have any curtains up at the moment). But he was in the right age bracket - and it's something that has never happened before!

I have a feeling of deja vu. I can recall you posting this yesterday.

I did, I posted it in the 'what did you dream of last night' thread, but thought I'd cross post to this thread too (as, given the title, it also fitted right in here). More traffic here, possibly.

I had a vaguely predictive dream on Friday night. I dreamt that I was with my wife in a public park in the Netherlands, watching an England football match on a huge screen, then leaving the park to make my way on public transport.

I knew that England were playing against Switzerland on Saturday, but expected to miss the match because I had a day out planned with my wife. As it turned out, we went in a pub in Gosport and sat next to the TV, and had arrived (by accident, not plan) 15 minutes before kick off, so we stayed to watch the whole nail-biting, painful match right through to Engand's eventual victory-by-penalties.

Two things occurred to me later - I did watch the match in a public place (though indoors, not in a park). The result of the win combined with the result of the Turkey-Netherlands match is that the next match will be England vs... the Netherlands! I had not been following the other games (except Spain and Portugal) so did not know that the Netherlands was on a path that would take them against England in the semi-finals if both won their matches.

And I did make my way home with my wife via public transport.
 
The shooting of Donald Trump inevitably had me looking for any hints of it in past dreams. (I actually woke to the news from a dream that included crowds, police car and ambulance but that's all I can recall that in any way links. The rest has vanished. )


In January 2015 I reported a series of dreams with lots of allusions to Kennedy assassination...book depository et al.
In October 2015 a friend reported to me he had a very vivid dream about Obama being assassinated.

In October 2020 I reported a dream of former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg being gunned down.

And in September 2021 I reported a dream of cradling a fallen ( from a heart attack) Jimmy Carter.

That long ago and spaced apart is not very persuasive.

Trump did feature in the last of my "the big one" recent disaster dreams...the one about the plane crash. But he kind of preceded the story so I took his presence as irrelevant.

Verdict: no premonitions of this incident.

Interested to know if anyone else in this thread reported anything more directly relatable.

Dream around 4.30am. I recorded it as best as i could but it's too disjointed and random to make a coherent story from it. But I mention it as it involved a crashing, or near crashing, plane which may ( or may not) connect it to the speculation about the previous dream/s.

Trouble getting a plane down...near miss .. muddled ..debate over whether it was deliberate or accidental.... My point of view as witness from the front of the plane. About 5 people killed on the ground.

That was all rather mumbled at 4:26. At 4:31 I was more fully awake and have a different more coherent account.

I'm sitting on the plane when female cabin crew asks me to move for x amount of money for some good cause involving orphans from a fire. I make a joke about it and happily take the money. I go to find another seat and end up near the front of the craft. Looking for someone I don't mind sitting next to I finally spot a space next to an east Asian man and ask him if anyone is sitting there. He says someone was but he got up about 45 minutes ago and never came back. So I take his seat.

Then it switched POV to me looking through the front window of the craft as it comes in for a crash landing. No explosions or anything. Then the dream recall gets muddled again as I talk about a tower structure on the ground and a photo of it is highly misleading. Cropped to make it look like it was somewhere else.

Of course every few years there'll be a major plane crash, but it'll be interesting to see whether today's news from Brasil develops in a way that brings it closer to this dream.

Ooo...first hint of some matching details. From my original post " I talk about a tower structure on the ground and a photo of it is highly misleading."

Just looked at the video of the plane coming down and the scene is dominated by an unusual looking pylon or radio tower.

Now it's getting more interesting...the first of the 3 June disaster dreams was of a report of an earthquake referred to as "the big one".

This has just appeared on the BBC an hour ago ...

Screenshot_20240810-003030.png



This would have more chance of being demonstrably predictive if it does happen...beyond the name , my dream placed it ( or my watching a report of it) on a Bank Holiday or Sunday. . The former is in two weeks time.
 
This is intriguing if there really is a major quake looming in Japan. In my quake dream i reported the documentary voice over said "Gotham is no more" and even inside the dream i thought Gotham is the nickname of a different city (new york)

Out of curiosity and speculation i just googled "Gotham Japan" to see if there are any cities there that sound like that. This came up...

https://soranews24.com/2022/02/21/b...-city-relationship-with-a-real-city-in-japan/

Gotham city has bizarrely been twinned with Fukuyama, just south of Hiroshima.

Here is where it's located:

Now the feared earthquake is due to disturbances in an area called the Nankai Trough. So i looked that up. You can guess where it is.....

The more I add to this the more I look like I'm genuinely and confidently making a prediction of a major news event. I'm not. I sound like Jim Carey in 23 ..or was it Nicholas Cage? Obsessing over hidden clues and patterns.

But in reality I'm just compelled to add new details as the embarrassment of being thought "wrong" is less of a motivation than the potential frustration of having failed to record something til after it came "true".

So for what it's worth ...

Around 1:45am last night I mumbled my first meaningless dream fragments into my phone. But the last thing I mumble, semi awake, on that particular recording is an instruction to my "third eye" to open and give me more testable details about the earthquake dream. Then I fell back to sleep.

Stirred again about 5:30 and recorded the next more detailed dream. Nothing about earthquakes..it was about Joe Biden with dementia for some reason. BUT...we're getting to the relevance....it was about trying to work out why he was fixated with the date "the 25th" . I repeated this over and over, what's the significance of the 25th me or my dream characters kept wondering.

Only on waking did a potential relevance hit me. My original earthquake dream was set "on Sunday evening or Bank Holiday'. The 25th of this month is the Sunday of Bank Holiday weekend.

Of course my unconscious could easily calculate that so whether it's additional "psychic" info as requested or merely a reflection of my current fixation with interpreting a possible prediction is an open question.
 
I've thrown caution and embarrassment to the wind and found a modern version of the premonitions bureau in which to publicly record and time stamp the (currently) deduced meaning of my dream. If it comes true, you heard it here first. If it doesn't, you didn't hear it at all. The short version submitted is:

"The City of Fukuyama in Japan will be destroyed by an earthquake on or around Sunday 25th August 2024"
 
You are probably right because Los Angeles had a 4.4 today which scared everyone “shitless”.
 
While I continue to have no feelings or senses (or repeat of the dream) to make me confident my interpretation of it - Fukuyama next Sunday - is accurate, nonetheless stories keep cropping up that give a sense of something building, leaving me increasingly expectant.

Yesterday this:
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/...sh-la-jolla-san-diego-california/74832087007/

Summary - an "incredibly rare" instance of a dead oarfish rising to the surface off California, which the article explains is seen in Japanese folklore as a portent of an imminent earthquake.

Then today this: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/17/...-tsunami-warning-russia-intl-latam/index.html

Summary - a large earthquake and volcano in the extreme east of Russia. Zoom out on the map and its just north of Japan.

And then something weird in a very different way. You'll recall from the previous page that the day after my dream Simon Whistler on Youtube released a new video, about the great San Francisco earthquake. And I chose to avoid watching it as it might confuse the issue of whether i was "precognizing" a coming real quake or just my own experience of watching that video.

Well you'll also recall on the 2nd August i produced some AI-prompted images to try and illustrate my dreams. This was the one for the quake:

Sanfran3.jpg


Its inside and old fashioned tv set because i had dreamt of watching news of the quake on tv.

But yesterday i finally watched the first couple of minutes of the Simon Whistler video. 2 and a half minutes in, with no explanation in the narration or context, they chose to illustrate scenes of old San Francisco like this.....

Sanfran2.jpg


Why through a 1950s TV set, goodness knows. Just to illustrate looking into the past i guess. I don't know what to make of that.
 
It occurred to me that if premonitions are real and a massive quake is imminent I can't be the only one to have dreamt of it.

So I did a Facebook search of recent posts involving the words " earthquake dream". I've found no shortage , including my n the last 24 hours. ( Most identify California)

The rational , sceptical explanation is that with a billion people on Facebook someone somewhere is going to have an earthquake dream any day of the week. And they're precisely the kind of dreams you're going to tell people about. Still,it does continue the sense of something looming.

To be fair, I've just had a sequence of dreams (see the What did you dream of last night? thread) about avalanche-type activity. I fully expect that there will be life-threatening avalanches in the Alps and other places this winter, and people will be killed by landslips etc. But I won't claim that I predicted it in my dreams because a) it's practically a certainty and b) I think these dreams are caused more by something internal to me rather than by psychic waves.
 
Indeed that's why I'm going out on a limb and suggesting a particular date and location ( Bank holiday weekend, Fukuyama)

These large number of Earthquake dreams on Facebook will only take on significance if and when a truly dramatic quake happens in the near future. If nothing happens soon then it's just evidence of how common such dreams are. If a "big one" does happen in the coming days ( by big one I mean shattering a city rather than merely happening or having a high number) then we might interpret it differently.

As far as I've noticed the setting for all of these recent dreams of others falls into one of 3 categories 1) California ( my own dream was set in San Francisco) 2) Whichever location the dreamer themself is located or 3) Unspecified. No one has mentioned Japan. My interpretation of it being there is a waking deduction based on the words "the big one" relating to Japan in a headline and the curious twinning of Fukuyama with Gotham...the latter also being referenced in my dream. But it's important to note I never dreamt of Japan at all.

The other thing of note is the number of these dreams which mention a tsunami and water. In the same week I reported my dreams on here @AnonyJ posted a vivid dream of a town being flooded and people in terror. Which makes me wonder if - imagining a real disaster will manifest - we might have been dreaming of the same major event.

It's worth stating in advance what parameters I think will provide evidence of precognition on my part at least.

Scenario 1) A major city destroying quake as described happens this Sunday/Monday, but rather than Fukuyama it's elsewhere in Japan, or California or anywhere else in the world. I'd claim that as a hit.

Scenario 2) it happens in Fukuyama not this weekend but in 3 months or even 18 months time. That's surely still a hit.

Scenario 3) it happens elsewhere in Japan but on a random Tuesday next year. I couldn't claim that at all. I might wonder, but such a quake is inevitable there eventually so it's a miss as far as dreams are concerned.
 
I continue to refresh the facebook search for posts of earthquake dreams and there are at least 2 or 3 new ones every day. As I said earlier this could give credence to the usual "law of big numbers" explanation that there are X number of people in the world dreaming every night, millions of them will dream of plane crashes, occasionally these dreams will coincide with a real crash (or in this case, potentially, earthquake).


But it occurred to me we can do a very simple, unscientific but perhaps informative test for this. There are other cliches from movies and tv shows of what visions, premonitions and psychic dreams are typically about which you would think are being had all the time by chance alone and that people would be just as likely to rush to their keyboards to report .

The ones that occur to me are plane crashes, assassinations and nuclear incidents/accidents. So I searched for posts about each of those too.

Not surprisingly plane crash dreams are also frequently and regularly popping up. But assassinations and nuclear accidents or explosions are not. (Maybe i should look for terrorist dreams too). This discrepancy is interesting. On the face of it it would seem that dreams of the latter two are simply not being had as often, no matter how many people there are in the world to have them.

You could surmise that quakes and crashes are engrained in the human psyche at this point in ways the others aren't. But the only explanation for why they would be - that they happen more often, in fact multiple times per year, albeit not in a cataclysmic way that grabs the global headlines - is an explanation that lends itself just as well to a psychic interpretation of the dreams. People may be having earthquake dreams every day precisely because everyday someone somewhere is feeling an earthquake. Never making the connection to these distant , page 12 stories, they interpret their dreams as apocalyptic and set closer to home.

I've only just read your post - would you mind letting me/us know the URL of the 'premonitions bureau' you contacted? There was someone (Israeli? I think) receiving emails about premonitions around 20 years ago, but I've not found anyone or any group doing so since.

On a very few occasions I've actually contacted a body or authority with my waking premonitions but am normally loath to do so, since it does sound so mad.
 
Having posted that ive only just for the first time scrolled further down the page of that site to see their best evidential examples of submitted premonitions.
 
Sometimes seem to have precognitive days after a long period of nothing:

I gave up smoking many years ago. The night before last I dreamt I was holding a cigarette and although it was a 'straight' that I used to smoke, when I looked at the end it seemed more like a hand rolled cigarette. Woke up in a bit of a sweat, thinking I had started smoking again...!

That morning I was meeting a work mate for a walk and needed to catch the 09.30 bus. Just as I was about to leave he texted me to ask me to pick up some rolling tobacco and papers as he lives in a rural area with no shops. This was a first and he has only just relapsed into smoking again. So following my random dream about holding a cigarette I found myself buying tobacco for the first time in years.

Then coming back on the bus a woman with a wonky front tooth got on. This reminded me of someone I had worked with and who was in what everyone agreed was an 'odd' long-term relationship with a co-worker (they are just such different people but apparently it works in the bedroom!). Stepped off the bus still thinking about them and in that instant they drove past me...!
 
The Ides of March (aka Bank Holiday weekend) have both come and gone so I have to raise my head above the parapet and be the first to observe my prediction/interpretation/prophecy did not play out in relation to the date.

It didn't escape my notice that there was a not insignificant quake in Lisbon on Monday...but since it was not really globally news worthy, didn't leave a city in ruins, and was not the only quake in the world that day (there's at least one reported in the news every day that i check) I will not for one second pretend there is any link between it and my prognostications.

Maybe something obvious will play out in the near future, probably not. It remains interesting though just how many people are posting of such dreams every day as if something truly huge is coming. Wait long enough of course, and it will.
 
July 2024 - had a very bizarre dream (I emailed it to myself)

"Landing at an airport on north bank of Thames in the Tower of London area. Massive explosion occurring behind airport, dark material at top going upwards. Diverted to airport (in another country!) on directly opposite bank of Thames. No explanation given"

Anyway, was due to do an airport pick up 2 days later. There was a crash on the eastern M25 & bad congestion on the north eastern section, corresponding to the direction of the explosion (which had a "black top", like an inverse pint of guiness). No flight diversion, but on the return the big road signs read something like "Gatwick diverted traffic use M25"

This could prove useful. I had a dream about a friend last night and trying to clarify what i was describing i did a childish scrawly line drawing. It got me thinking could the use of AI image creations from written prompts allow me to create clear visuals of my dreams.

Well i found an online free app and have given it a go. I've never done it before, and It will take a while to work out how best to word things to get accurate results (what immediately appears to be the case is that written words such as the "jet" on the side of the buses or "land of the giants" on the tv screen will not show up). Anyway for entertainment purposes only here are some prompted image results from the three recent dreams reported here.

Tantalizing ...the images on my TV screen reporting a terror attack in Turkey at an aviation company bear an intriguing similarity to the AI produced image I posted here in June to illustrate my dream about a terror attack involving buses at the end of the street....with the word Jet on them. Hmm.

In October (2024) I dreamt about a specific football match 6 days before it was scheduled. Three results appeared (in written numbers)

n - 0
0 - n
nn (going to lose by this!! wow)

The game was postponed to n*n (for example 3*3 = the 9th)
The winning team scored n*2 goals!!

From: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckg366kz507t Mayotte (French Overseas Territory) hit by cyclone Chido

"...Mayotte hit by worst cyclone in 90 years
published at 07:28


Cyclone Chido hit the far north of Mayotte at around 15:00 local time (12:00 GMT) on Saturday as an intense tropical cyclone, equivalent to a major category four hurricane.

Wind speeds of 226 km/h (140 mph) were recorded as the cyclone made landfall on the island.

Wave heights were also estimated to be between four and eight metres (13-28ft) on the north coast of the island.

It is the strongest cyclone to have hit Mayotte in 90 years..."
