I have no idea how it works, but every once in a while you’ll have dreams that come true. For example, a few years ago one of my nieces got married, and even though I didn’t go to the wedding, two nights before the wedding I had a dream of a photo that was taken, and what I saw in the dream was exactly the same as the photo, even though I have never been to the place where they were married or seen photos of the place.
(Actually there was a difference: On the far side of each row of people I saw some relatives who passed away many years ago. They were also dressed in suits and dresses.)
Then a few weeks ago I had a dream that Dr. Ruth passed away, so when I saw that she actually passed away on July 12, 2024, I asked my wife, “Didn’t you tell me that Dr. Ruth died a few weeks ago?” She said no, she didn’t say anything like that, and then I remembered that that happened in a dream.
This doesn’t happen very often, but I used to make a note of such things because I thought it was fascinating. These are just two that I can remember off the top of my head.
