I think I'll have to sacrifice a bit of personal information for the sake of interest [:D]
I've been in a long distance relationship on and off for some 3 odd years or so, and I'd say me and this person have formed an undeniably strong emotional bond. However, our relationship had been up in the air for the last several months, and in that time I've had what I would call some more than coincidental dreams which clearly tie into intense emotional events which were about to occur.
Personally I've been interested in astral projection and general metaphysics and occultism for about a year, though my progress has been depressingly minimal, with only myself to blame.
I guess the closest to a prophetic dream I've ever gotten would be this. One night, I dreamt (without warning or provocation) that I was trying to talk to this girl, and all she said to me was "I can't do this anymore, I need a real relationship." By that of course she was referring to our long distance relationship. Throughout the rest of the dream she just ignored me as I tried to talk to her. Of course, this led me to believe she was really some thought form or conjured up fear which was playing out. Lo an behold, a few days later I found out that she had been seeing someone else for about a month.
Not much later, I had another dream about her. This time, she was confessing to me that she had played innocent during the time we were together, while she had really been out sleeping around with other guys.
The next day I was told that she cheated on me back then (about a year ago), and coincidentally, that he had pressured her for sex several times (though apparently, she never accepted).
Oh dear :/
Of course after that we cut each other off for good, for good being about a month :P
One of those nights, I had a vague dream about her, where she wanted to be together again. Oh cruel dreams :O
However, after we started talking again, she confessed that she had regretted breaking up and wanted to get back together. :/ well
Since then, I've had two dreams with her that I can recall, however, in them the only emotion I managed to feel from her was apathy toward my presence. A possible sign of a thought form, yes, especially since in the one dream I was expecting to see her at a specific place, but I can never be too sure.
Long before any cheating or breaking up or not talking occurred, I did have one dream with her that was really wonderful...
So I wonder, when is a dream merely a dream, and when is it much more?
Oh em, the relationship probably seems pretty screwed up from that post, don't worry too much about the mechanics of it :/
But in situations like that, how would you guys decide whether what you've dreamt is true or if it's just an invention of your mind?
