Dreams and Reality,any correlation?

Out of curiosity, had you any prior awareness of your cousin's child being seriously ill or hospitalized before you had this dream?

If it is family, you might be right, there might be a tiny correlation. Have you ever heard that when a person you love is in danger you can feel it? Maybe that was your warning sign. Did you guys had any further relationship, i mean did you used to hang out, visit, call?

@Ragman
yes i heard that the kid was sick,and hospitalized....

Yes,Unicorn,i felt like that some time ago when my younger brother had an accident.......Saw it in my dreams before it happened. In the dream,it was a close friend,but in reality,it was my brother....what a twist!

A dream is meant to be forgotten. So it's perfectly reasonable to suppose many times the "correlation" than remembered, suggesting the most remarkable instances represent only sheer chance

Quite true,dreams are meant to be forgotton,and thats why one dreams at times without making out anything when one wakes up......you say cheer chance? Thats mere coincidence?

In past ages, dreams were interpretable and meaningful, and amounted to some sort of a connection between our own lives and some sort of a spirit-world or higher-level communication system. But the planet's own ability to support that sort of thing has since mostly broken down and what you get in the vast bulk of dreams is mainly noise and little if any signal. What you've experienced is real enough, but very rare and unusual.

Thanks so much for those words 'real and rare'......I sense that dreams have some connection with one's personal life,but don't seem to figure out way....Like,there are certain kind of people in my place that their dreams always come to reality weather negative or positive.... An elderly woman that i know of,i don't know what to call her....She's kind of a spiritualist....If someone is sick and she comes to know how the person is faring,and at not the hospital though,but at home with some native medication given to the sick.....She would say to some folks that are not close relative to the sick 'He/she is dead,that the parents or who-so-ever should stop wasting their time and resources....She saw when some ghost people came and took him/her away ' The next morning the person dies.....she always say it,and it always come to reality....Just wondering
