Do you consider this a psychic phenomenon?

Last night, I had a weird dream about a woman I dated back around '98-'01. I had not really even thought about her for years now. In the dream, she was alive, but her skin looked like she was decomposing. Kind of a "fresh zombie" look.

This morning, I thought about the dream and decided to look her up on Facebook. I saw that her recent posts dating back about a month seem to be unhinged, off-balance video clip rants about relationships and all her FB friends and family. She's hysterically laughing one minute, and weeping and sobbing the next. She's saying weird hostile stuff and then trying to act sexy a second later, with way too much makeup on.

Frankly, I was embarassed and concerned for her. I'm not going to reach out to her, though. 20 years is way too long to nosedive into a can of worms, plus I am happily married now.

Do you think my dream was an example of a psychic phenomenon? Her flesh has not decomposed in real life, of course, but her sanity sure seems rotten now.

Everyone’s dreams are extremely stupid and silly. Forget that stuff, nobody cares a bit. It’s all just your brain being a jackass and we all have dreams. LITERALLY nobody wants to hear anyone’s dreams.

Dreams are super boring and dumb.

Toss it all aside like yesterday’s newspaper, NOBODY cares, no offense.

You need rent, gasoline money to get to a decent job, living space…Let’s all stop acting like supernatural things are going on.

I suppose, but it was kind of alarming to dream of her decaying, and then go online to find out she seems to be losing her mind.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77426) 3 months ago

That seems like her problem.

It’s all in your mind, odd scraps you are able to recall, nothing more. No need to care about any of that dream nonsense.

Toss it like a cigarette butt, flick it in into the nearest gutter.

We run things, make your own life. ‘God’ does not care at all.

I've had several dreams that I considered to be precognitive. An example of one...I suddenly found myself dreaming early one morning of a co-worker I hadn't seen or thought of in years. I woke up wondering why I was suddenly dreaming about that person. I think most of us have experienced that perplexity before when it comes to dreams.

In that dream, we were walking side by side at a fast pace in a huge manufacturing plant. That was actually accurate. He had been my trainer in a position in that plant and quite often during that process, that's how we had moved through there. At one point however, he suddenly veered off to the left and disappeared into this pitch black darkness. That's where I woke up. Several days later, I discovered his obituary in the local paper.

Very similar outcome, but a more direct message than my dream. My first thought when I awoke from the dream of seeing her as a zombie was that she had died, based on similar accounts I have read. I was relieved at first to see her alive on Facebook, but became concerned when I saw her current mental state.

It's a fascinating idea that our minds could work that way to provide us with knowledge we have no way of knowing, but I suppose there will never be scientific proof that precognition is anything other than coincidence.

You seem to have a good, intuitive understanding of the symbolic language of dreams.

If what I experienced was coincidence, it was an incredibly powerful one. A couple of nights ago, I had a vivid dream of bleeding from my throat, only I was oblivious to it until some others pointed it out to me. The very next evening, there was an uncannily similar scene in this movie I was watching, even the round hole which was the source of the bleeding. https://moviechat.org/tt5699928/Prey (Not a very good movie, btw)

I've learned to trust my intuition. I'm one of those people who has especially vivid dreams during the cycle of the full moon, which we are currently in until Aug.19th. https://wyldemoon.co.uk/the-moon/does-the-moon-affect-dreams/

I thought you were going to find out she passed yesterday. Now THAT would’ve been a psychic freakorama event. Your dream is just what hapoens when you sleep. Rando brain cells get activated, maybe triggered by something you encountered during the day that stirred up an old memory somehow.
