What odd dream/real life coincidences have you experienced?

Like…something from a dream later happens or coincides with something in real life.

Last night I had the most awful dream…I have no idea what prompted it…but I dreamed that a girl I’d gone to high school with had died, I went to her funeral, was very upset, but I didn’t know how she died. So I was trying to find out, and I discovered that she had been hit by a stray bullet, running away from gunfire in Times Square, and that a former co-worker of mine was a witness.

So I wake up, think “what a weird/awful dream,” re-assure myself that she’s still alive, and go look at her Facebook page for further confirmation. Her status update is, “Happiness hits me like a bullet in the back.”

I just thought it was an odd coincidence considering the dream I’d just had.

I also dreamed about George H.W. Bush’s passing (in a non-violent manner) last night, but he remains alive.

Not sure why I dreamed about the deaths of two people who I wish no ill will toward.

I shared it here the day it happened, but it’s been a while (zombie babies in that thread; don’t post to it!):

When I was a bank teller, I got robbed.

Two weeks later, I had a dream that the guy came in to rob me again. That day, he did.

A week later, I had a dream that he came in yet again to rob me, but the cops were waiting there for him and arrested him. That day, I got a call from Cambridge police saying that they caught him robbing a bank in Cambridge.

A few weeks after that, I had a dream that a whole bunch of robbers came into the bank, but the didn’t want to take any money, they just wanted to fondle it. When I got into work that day, the auditors were there.

I haven’t had any prescient dreams like that before or since.

Nothing serious here. I dreamed that the soda vending machine at work took my dollar and did not return a soda or any change. Needless to say, I was pissed. The next day it almost happened the way it did in the dream. It did dispense a soda can but it shorted me a quarter for my change.
