Last night, I had a dream where That Vegan Teacher was nice for once.

Basically what happened was that That Vegan Teacher was having a conversation with a man who was eating a beef burger, and her covered his eating and she said, "Thanks" I hope that's foreshadowing something, but looking back, it was quite a funny dream.

Dream foreshadowing?

About a month ago I had a dream I got married to my boyfriend in a very specific wedding dress. Fast forward to this past weekend, I get engaged and go dress shopping. Walk in the store and there is almost an exact replica of the dress in my dream. Of course that’s the one that I ended up purchasing.

What are the odds?

My Dream Came True?

4 days ago, I had a dream that the guy I like (we’ve been talking for a few months now) stabbed me in my dream. Later that day I looked up the meaning of that dream and most of them said that it was a sign of being backstabbed/ being betrayed. 2 days later I caught him flirting with one of my best girl-friends and I was really hurt. I later thought back to that dream, and I guess my dream foreshadowed this..? Anyone have any takes or experienced the same thing?

The weird thing is my whole life I’ve worried about what I will become when I grow older and always fear of becoming a loser (Still in highschool) and i am worried that my dream foreshadowed my future and the uber driver was actually me.

Concerning dream

Recently had a dream that I was driving down the highway in my area only to see multiple mushroom clouds forming in the distance in multiple directions. Upon further mental examination of that dream I decided to throw it out there and see if the collective dream scape of Reddit has been apocalyptic, perhaps foreshadowing negative global events. Not trying to be morbid just doing this for amateur scientific exploration.
