Hi,
I was going to suggest a sticky topic on prescient dreams.

I have what I think is a very similar experience to yours, where I remember a specific dream about an conversation and the conversation then actually takes place later.

I note that  a particular dream is unusual, then days, weeks or months later, I encounter the situation, then remember the dream, THEN, I anticipate what the person I'm having a conversation with is going to say,

then, remembering the course of the conversation in the dream, I change my response to produce a positive outcome, or to where in the dream the conversation leads to awkwardness, I remember the awkwardness, then alter my response to remove "the foot in my mouth" so to speak.

I'm really not quite so amazed by the prescient experience as much as my confusion as to why this seemingly fantastic power is limited (for me) to remembering or predicting  trivial awkward little conversations.

(perhaps what appears to be trivial and insignificant is actually a turning point, milestone, or life time key-frame?)

Part II:

I've read theories that say when we think we have a deja vu "already seen" experience that it is actually a phenomenon where the brain creates the "memory" of a dream on the spot as the situation occurs in real-time, producing a mental temporal loop.

That theory doesn't work for me because I remember "note-able" dreams, asking myself, "why would I dream about that? this is weird.", THEN, later on I experience the actual situation and then saying to myself, " oh, I remember this in my weird dream last month and I know what the person is going to say.

hmmm, if only I could remember a dream of a conversation about winning lotto ticket numbers, oh well...........

Hmm, warning message, that's a helpful thing.

Forgot to mention that my conversation-preview dreams have been very rare, not a frequent thing. However they have been significant and memorable events that make me question reality.

I've never discussed these things before, but this forum seems to be a comfortable place, thanks.

The current significant dream for me, that occurred several years ago, but is still as vivid as any experience appears to be a warning.

My daughter and I are looking out of the kitchen window and instead of the back garden, there is a large pond or lake. We are very sad, i feel despair, and we don't say anything.

Hurricane season just started in Florida, maybe I should get the extra flood insurance?
Cheers....
