first of all i do not know the answer to your question... i had similar dreams but they were more like deja-vu and i only know that i dreamt it when it happens...
and... wow... do you know what is interpunction? it was really hard to read your post.. but it's phuny :)
that is how it usually happens for me to it is only sometimes i remember them before they happen
I have had dreams that told me what would happen during the next day but they where always exactly what happend and only for a short period of time but last night i had a dream of an event wich lasted for about an hour but this time it was not exactly like in the dream but rather like signs for exampel in my dream i dreamt about that i would be walking whit a specifick persant on a slippery road down to water that was hard in cold that could be feelt but did not make me freze and the next day that same thing happend and i would like to know if this to was a prophetick dream
