    Yeah. Precognitive dreams mostly. Nothing I expect anyone else to believe, but I myself know because I documented them when I dreamed them, then the events occurred and it was such random, little detailed things that I could not possibly have predicted based on knowledge. Maybe everyone dreams the future and just forgets their dreams?

    Some synchronicity things too, stepping into exactly the right place at the right time, wishing for something then having it immediately drop into my lap. Those I am minded to chalk up to random chance, but some are so comically obvious, things just appearing where they were not, right when I need them.

      Yup, same. I would get this sense of deja vu except instead of feeling like I’ve been somewhere before it was feeling like I had previously dreamed the events that were about to happen. And yeah it was always minor stuff, a conversation, mom coming home angry about having dropped something expensive at work, the solution to some coding problem a friend was about to tell me, etc. I tried playing with it, and if I changed anything (‘Oh, I know what you’re about to say’, etc) it would disrupt it and not happen, but otherwise it happened the way I dreamed it every time. Sadly it got more and more uncommon as I got older, and now it’s been probably 10-15 years since the last time I remember.

        The dumbest one that absolutely convinced me it was precog, was:

        I was in line at the bank behind 3 women. They had a scale, one of those big Toledo No Springs ones. I stepped on the scale, but the dial went backwards. I turned around and saw this girl Joann, who I hadn’t seen since middle school.

        I wrote all this down in the dream journal, and then didn’t think about it.

        Couple weeks later, I’m at that bank. 3 women ahead of me in line. I get on the scale, but it says I weigh 30lb, it’s broken. I turn around and who do the see? Joann, that girl I had not seen since middle school.

        What the fuck? It kinda pissed me off because I really don’t want to think the future is set to that extent. Like, seeing some big event that might echo back in time, sure. But a broken scale at some bank? Joann? I haven seen her since, either, we were not close, why would I dream her true?

          I’ve read this a few times, and I can’t figure out what you’re referring to with a “scale” at the bank. What does that mean?

            They had a big analog scale you could stand on, and a dial would go around the markings like a clock- there are still some of these same scales at grocery stores here. People use them to weigh themselves, or I see people weighing luggage on them. In the dream the dial went backwards but IRL it was just wrong, very wrong.

            Google “Toledo No Springs Scale” and you will see them.

              Right, but why is there a scale at a bank? I’ve been to many banks, and there’s been a scale for weighing humans at zero of them. That’s why I’m confused here. I know what a scale is.

                No idea, you would have to ask the bank. I called that bank the “demon bank”, because the exterior walls were marble and the patterns looked like demons. Those scales still are at grocery stores here, I haven’t been in a physical bank for a long time. Here is the bank. It’s funny to me that a precognitive dream is humdrum but a scale at a bank is hanging you up. I already knew the scale was there, that was not part of the precognition.

          Very interesting. I’ve never had anything paranormal happen to me but I like to believe in it and it’s always fun hearing accounts like these. I imagine it is a bit stressful having nightmares haha.

          I would write them somewhere more public (like a blog) or with witnesses. If something that could never ever be a coincidence and becomes public knowledge happens (like a major disaster), people will doubt you wrote about it before hand. I’m sure proving yourself isn’t something you really care about, but every event that becomes accepted helps others come forward and removes some of the stigma imo.
