For many years, I've had dreams that seem to show me the future, where thing unfold in the waking world exactly as they did in the dream. It's not a very frequent occurrence, but the dreams are always very vivid and easily remembered.
It's never anything interesting like lottery numbers or something that would change the experience, it's like a pre-recording of everyday life.
One of the first premonitions I had was in about 9th grade. I was taking a print design course at the time, and that's where I was in my dream. Everyone had to have one of those old ZIP drives to save their projects on, and I vividly recall getting that out of my bag and hearing my teachers walking through the back of the class talking about payday. One of the teachers (not one of mine) was describing how hard it was to get into the office and get their paycheck, and said "it's like WWF" (what wrestling was before it was renamed to WWE).
That exact scenario played out that same day. I was leaning down to get my ZIP drive, heard them talking about it, and turned around and said "it's like WWF" in unison with that teacher. They all stopped and just kind of looked at me, then continued on with their discussion.
Another earlier experience I had was about 10th or 11th grade. I dreamed I was living in Canada (of all places) with a girl that had long dark curly hair. Extremely vivid, nothing in particular it just stuck with me to the degree I told my dad about it when I came down that morning. "Yeah, like you're going to live in Canada".
Years later, I'm living in Canada with a girl who had long dark curly hair. It didn't recall the dream until something triggered that memory, but I called my dad and he remembered me describing the dream and just thought I was weird. The gap in time between the dream was probably six years, but he remembered.
Another interesting one was about 2010 or so. I was in my late 20s living in Charlotte, NC. I had followed my dad out there who was working as a finance manager in a car dealership, and I was able to get a job as the resident computer monkey.
Finance managers had their own office, and sales managers sat at "the tower", three workstations at a long raised desk behind some glass windows. In my dream, my dad was sitting in the left-hand chair peeling an orange and talking to me about something. There's no reason for him to have been at that desk in my dream, but the next day he was filling in for someone who was sick, and I went up there to fix something and found him there... Peeling an orange and cracking jokes.
Again, it's never anything important and I don't recognize what sort of dream it was until I'm in the moment where it plays out. I've had people confirm I've told them about a dream that then plays out, so I don't think it's normal deja vu. Not sure what it is, but it's interesting to think about.
A few weeks ago, I had a full day of what felt like the above experiences. Again, nothing outstanding or peculiar... Just a sense of:
Anyone else ever had experiences like this? Would love to hear your story.
