I've often dream about people I have not seen in a very long time, and then I meet them again soon afterwards.

Very odd.

That your dream effects future events is very odd indeed.

Do you have any other super powers?

I call it more of an annoyance.

It just weirds me out. 😲

I recall an account on the radio of a man who had popped out for lunch and was passing a public telephone box, when it started ringing. He decided to answer it and was greatly surprised that it was his secretary on the line who casually began speaking to him as though she had expected him to pick up. - Turned out that his secretary had intended to ring him on his mobile but had inadvertently dialed some random reference number, which just happened to be the number of the public phone box he was walking past at the time.

Coincidences happen.

I don't think, myself, there is much (if any) meaning in dreams. I think they are just the brain's way of clearing out unnecessary data, which explains why they are often random and why we usually forgot them shortly after waking. - That said, things or worries we have been preoccupied with during the day can make their way into our dreams, but that's the extent of it.

I too believe it's a clearing process but I also believe it may serve more than one purpose. My theory is there is a rational self and an emotional self. Our rational self is easier to understand than the emotional self - we have a much more complex emotional life than we know and in our dreams, I think our emotions - good and bad sides of ourselves - are more evident with some help.

It's not so much what a dream is in itself, as what one is prepared to interpret into it.

One can only remember dreaming that is fitting to ones personality (open or hidden). Hopefully interpretation is out of it not into it. That would be suggestion or manipulation, don't you think?

It's the hidden part of our personality, of course, that we try to find out more about.

So True, no matter how rational we think we are, there are other sides of ourselves that we sometimes deny.
