For context this week my wife and I looked at a house. I made an offer on the house and my wife was less than enthused with it but thought it could still work. That evening I had a dream, and the dream was vivid, that I was murdered in the house, in one of the hallways. When I woke up I told my wife that I want to pull the offer due to the dream I had. I called the realtor, pulled the offer. I found out late last night we would have gotten that house. I am glad I did not get it after the dream. It was unsettling.

Have any of you ever experienced something similar?

Yes, I do have them often. Once I had my ex to stop in the middle of the road, I had a real bad feeling. 10 seconds later a car didn't stop at a red light and we would probably have been killed at the speed the other car went through the intersection.

I had the highest grades in many school topics in my country because I had dreams about the exams and the answers. One Math exam at university I finished in 15 seconds not even knowing what I was putting down but just by remembering my dream. The prof thought I cheated.

Well I will occasionally have some fucked up dream about my wife and wake up irritated. Does that count? I say “bitch dream version of you showed up last night, give me a minute.”

Also is this a me only thing or do other people also have dreams where their spouses either cheat, are disrespectful as hell or both. I’m good for at least one or two a year, typically after an amazing family /couple day, so it’s not like it’s correlated to real life issues. Like next weekend we are going on a family trip for my daughter’s birthday, so I know there is a strong chance bitch dream wife shows up.

My wife has had dreams where I have cheated on her, I never have, she sometimes gets mad at me about the dream and doubts my response about cheating.

That's a classic, it's almost a meme until it happens to you.

"You shoot me in a dream you better wake up and apologize"

The classic dream of hooking up with a random girl from IRL daily life and falling in love (who IRL I'm not even attracted to and barely pay any attention to), and then I wake up and suddenly I'm seeing this IRL girl in a whole new light.

Got asked about what I dreamed about for a while, learned that lesson the hard way.

'You had an adventure and killed all the monsters and fell in love with a girl?'. Day of silence.

She watches zombie shows and kicks me in the ribs when I'm asleep, no fairness in sleeping. She's just as bad.

Very funny yet painful and very unappreciated.

It was in grade 4 and I was sitting on the sidelines watching people play soccer, I had a premonition that the soccer ball would hit my face, minutes later someone from the opposing team kicked it and it hit my face, not sure if it was probability because I was in direct lines of where the ball could land, then again I was sitting behind the net, so it was more of a probability and prediction theory.

This. Although in my case is attractive, but already had a boyfriend so I had written them off as taken. Now, I'm thinking if only she wasn't dating her BF.

Not really I don’t remember any of my dreams and haven’t for most of my adult life.

More than ten years ago, my mother booked a trip to Disneyland Paris for herself, my sister and me. We'd just gone through a messy divorce, and this would be a fun trip to forget about that. We would drive there with our own car, and stay for three days.

As the day of departure drew near, my mother and sister had an ominous feeling. They felt like we were going to have an accident or something. I was disappointed, but didn't want to force them. The trip was cancelled and fully refunded.

A few weeks later we found out that a certain part of the car was heavily worn and on the verge of breaking. I don't remember what part it was exactly, but the mechanic said it would have been pretty dangerous if that part had broken down while driving. Initially we didn't really think much of this, until my uncle mentioned that it likely would have broken during the long drive to France.

If I let my dreams change me in any way, I unfortunately wouldn't get anything done. I've had pretty horrible dreams for most of my life, and they tend to be vivid and visceral. I'm generally falling, running from something or someone that I can't outrun, struggling against something I simply can't fight, watching my wife come up with incredibly elaborate plans for cheating and covering her tracks, I sometimes see her fucking other men and laughing about me when I'm mentioned, I see her blowing a dude in the car and smiling at him the way she does me during, I see my friends all saying they hate me and laughing about me behind my back, I see my daughter as a grown woman who hates me and doesn't want to see me again, I see my father hitting me when I was a kid and telling people at his bar he doesn't have a son, and of course there's the classics with me being stabbed repeatedly or suffocating or being choked or simply dying alone and noone caring. Apparently I sound wildly distressed during my dreams sometimes and my wife worries I'll die due to my breathing lol. It is nice that she wakes me up when that happens though, of course I don't realize what's happening necessarily but I suppose it means she at least cares enough to do that .

Fuck dreams dude lol. I wish I could never have em again. Oh, and because I'm consistently kicking ass at life, I managed to pass on my propensity for horrible dreams to my daughter, which has resulted in her having a fear if bed time, which I feel like is my fault. Apparently my father had terrible dreams like this too. But hey, can't change it man, and I got shit to do, and my dreams are not at all logical, so I can't make decisions based on dreams, just wouldn't make sense. I just kinda wake up sad or scared instead lol.

This is my reality, but it is also why my dream this time threw me through a loop.

Does having a dream about a certain celebrity and wanting to wank count?
