The same dream, the same place, or the thing before it happened
Dreams that repeat for years. Dreams of a place the dreamer has never been. Dreams two people had on the same night without speaking. And the uncomfortable kind, dreamt before the thing happened, remembered afterwards.
Dreams that repeat for years, unchanged. Dreams of a place the dreamer has never been, described later in detail that turns out to be right. Two people who dreamt the same thing on the same night without speaking. And the uncomfortable kind, dreamt before the thing happened and remembered only afterwards.
People are cautious about these, which is part of why they are worth collecting. Nobody wants to be the person claiming they saw it coming. The accounts here tend to be told against the teller's own scepticism.
Precognitive or prophetic dreams for the ones that seem to run ahead of events. Shared or mutual dreaming for the ones two people report together. Recurring dreams for the ones that will not stop. Deja reve, already dreamed, for the flash of having been somewhere in a dream before arriving there awake.
We hold these up hardest of all, because memory is unreliable and a dream is easy to reshape after the fact to fit what happened. Coincidence across a lifetime of dreaming is not just possible, it is expected. Confirmation bias, and a detail learned then forgotten, all of it applies. What survives is the small set where the dream was written down or told to someone before the event, which is the only version worth anything.

Introduction I got up far too early this morning and decided to go back to sleep and lucid dream. It took me a while to fall asleep again after waking up. I used the usual MILD strategies - keep my body perfectly still until I exp…

The dream started off with me and my roommates (dream roommates) having a clean house. For no reason <PERSON> shows up (I got a strong urge to tell him that I could kill 28 Biebers if a swarm of them attacked me according to a qui…

4/22/13 I got into bed and just decided to go through my usual process for WILD instead of turning off completely. There are a lot of naps I take where I just practice going to sleep instead of practicing WILD. This time, I just w…

Okay, my dream last night was rather bizarre, but then I do have some bizarre dreams sometimes... In my dream, I am on a space ship, kind of like in Star Trek. (I say this because <PERSON> was in my dream; actually TWO Spocks!) An…
the same dream as someone else
#339 - DILD - 6:53AM This was another one of those LDs where I somehow believe a false reality. I guess lucidity was low here. I am playing a side scrolling video game where I am playing as The Roadrunner in a sonic game. Then, it…

Dream One So last night I have two very vivid dreams. The first that I remember was somewhat scary, though I did not feel the intense pangs of fear normally associated with a nightmare (I do not know how) I did think the setting a…
the same dream as someone else
ok, I wish I had written it all down last nyt, but in my defense when I woke up I remembered it clearly and told myself there is no way I can forget especially if I had the same dream twice. Well, for the main details...I forgot,…
intense familiarity · the same dream as someone else
After waking up at around 3:57 in the morning and spent enough time to get my mind focused back on becoming lucid, I laid in bed turning over again and again for almost two hours. I am not sure if I felt asleep during that time or…
voices with no source · the same dream as someone else
I do not know why I should have forgotten about the shroud ; this must have been one of the many dresses I saw before the change took place. My friend did not know the Y.'s, and did not know Mr. X., so that I left out any superflu…
the same dream as someone else
My sister was not with me, so I could not speak about it to her. I cannot find any of my letters written after May 14th, so do not know if I wrote VOL. 11. 2 B 418 SUPPLEMENT. [chap. to her on the 15th or not. But she came to me (…

Morning of May 24, 2015. Sunday. I have returned to a fictional recurring dream location that I had been to several times before in past dreams, which is some sort of fancy resort, or was by this point, with a large lake mostly on…
