I don't believe any of this shit, and despise people who tell these stories to cover up the fact they don't have a single interesting thing to say about themselves or their lives.
I don't really remember any of my dreams, and never give them a seconds thought, but last year I had this really strong dream. It was my best mate from school, who've I've not seen for years, standing in-front of me crying and saying "I need a hug" So I gave him a hug and that was it. For the next couple of days I couldn't get this dream out of my head, it was so different to normal dreams, too intense, too real.

The next time I was on the phone to my mum, just as I was about to say goodbye, she tells me that my best mate's dad had died, on the night I'd had the dream.

I was genuinely discombobulated, analysing what had happened shook the foundations of how I believed reality to work. So I've filed the experience under 'WTF' and don't think about it too much.

There's a lot of people in the world. It was Just coincidence
Like the time I had a dream my Muslim colleague was pregnant. I told her about it the next day and her eyes widened and she whispered to me 'Was it a boy or a girl?'

I asked her whether she was pregnant and she said yes, she'd only known a few days ago herself.

And no - I hadn't had unprotected sex with her. Or any sex for that matter.

The strange thing isn't the straight coincidence, I get that, it's then oddness of the dream. I've never had a dream that unsettled me like this one did, and that was before I heard the news.
I guess you'd have to be inside my head to understand what I mean.

It's still raw chance.
I have had a few intense dreams after which a significant event would have seemed almost predicted. My dreams, however, didn't coincide with anything important.

OK, i can go with that,
Let's say there's a 20 year window for his dad to die, between 70 and 90. And I have one dream involving my old school mate during those years, and those two events happen on the same day.

That's around 53 million to one. Fine these things happen, I can live with that.

But this dream wasn't a normal dream. I spent the days after it in a bit of a daze, it's was a at the forefront of my thoughts all the time. And when I found out about the old fella's death it was genuinely terrifying.

If you're still watching.
I meant that everyone has intense dreams at some point and everyone has intense moments. There are about 7 billion people on the earth -- it is guaranteed that some of us will have dreams which relate in some way to the events of the next day or so. This is disregarding false memories and the like.
It may be special for you, but in the grand scheme of things you're not relevant.
