Have you ever had a dream that warned you about something?

[JMSA]

Sorry for the woo title. I’m a sceptic and realist, so this stuff isn’t usually me! But I’ve just woken up and am feeling weird about a dream I had.
I was at the doctor’s yesterday about pain in my hips, which is probably what triggered this dream. I dreamt that I had cancer. It was so vivid. In the dream, I hugged my grandmother who died over a year ago. I don’t even believe in life after death!
Years ago, prior to my divorce, I had a warning dream. Upon waking in the morning, I checked my ex-husband’s phone. And discovered that he was having an affair.
You’ll probably say that deep down, I knew it already. Maybe you’re right. But I’m really interested to know if something similar has happened to you. Still feeling a bit strange so please don’t be unkind or call me a crank 😆

I think it's your brain processing what is worrying you overnight, free of the 'noise' of the day.

I don't think it means the dream is always right though: that's usually confirmation bias, because you only tend to remember when your dreams were right, not the ones that weren't.

I’m not woo at all, but I have had a fair few dreams that turned out to be true. The reason I took a pregnancy test was because I dreamt I’d had a positive and my baby is now 4 months old!
I don’t believe in all this “what does my dream mean?” rubbish, but I do think you should go to the doctors.

I don't always dream about people's pregnancies before they announce them, but when I do I'm always right. On two occasions, I dreamed it before the mothers knew.

More upsettingly, I am also always right when I dream someone's pregnancy will not be successful.
