Sometimes people have prophetic dreams, however, they understand that they were prophetic when something is already happening. It is then that the understanding comes that the dream was a warning about future events, changes in life. There are many assumptions about the nature of prophetic dreams, many different opinions on this matter.
What dreams can be considered prophetic?
A prophetic dream is a night vision that warns a person of what may happen to him in the future. These kinds of visions most likely come to every person, but not everyone understands and perceives their meaning.
Research results have shown that approximately 13-38% of people have had at least one prophetic dream.
A real prophetic dream should directly, and not indirectly, predict future events. For example, a girl saw her own wedding in a dream, and after a while she actually received an offer to marry. Prophecies can concern not only the personal life of a single person, but entire states. For example, before the tragedy in New York on September 11, many people later admitted that in their dreams they had already seen the catastrophe in great detail.
A person can see 4 to 7 dreams per night. On average, the period of dreams is from an hour to two every night.
There are several types of prophetic dreams:
Pseudo-prophetic dreams. When a person himself adjusts events. For example, I dreamed about a snake. The dream book says that this means trouble. A person, being impressed and in a bad mood, himself runs into a conflict. As a result, a nuisance happens. It turns out that the dream came true, but it was not prophetic.
Twin dreams. A phenomenon that often occurs among creative people or scientists who devote all their time to solving one problem. It is well known that D. Mendeleev dreamed of his periodic system in all the details.
Truly prophetic dreams. The situation in a dream is completely repeated in life. In 1741, Mikhail Lomonosov has a terrible dream. The body of his father, dumped on an island in the White Sea. Upon arrival in St. Petersburg, Mikhail learns from his brother that there has been no news of his father for four months. He, as usual, went fishing and disappeared. The island, which Lomonosov saw in his dream, he knew - he and his father had been there during his childhood. Mikhail sends a letter to a local fishing artel with a detailed description of where to look for the body of the missing father, and in fact the fishermen find it.
How should you relate to prophetic dreams?
In no case should you take dreams to heart, all the more to model your life situations for them, but you should not just ignore them.
Human life is multifaceted and there is no definite program that everything should happen in this way and not otherwise. Do not take dreams as a final judgment already passed and start preparing for the worst. Perhaps this is just a signal or warning, and listening to it or not is everyone's personal business.
