    yes, i believe many people have. Usually it's a case of Deja Vu. Personally it tends to be little things, like seing a pair of scissors fall off a certain table or something.

    Edit: i believe(i'm not sure if it's right or not) that something like 1 in 3 people have experienced some sort of deja vu.

    I have and have developed a little theory. I believe that the most vivid dreams that you immediately forget, but try so hard to remember are dreams of the future. And when this dream becomes a reality, you experience de-ja-vu. Also, to experience more vivid dreams, I have found that eating 5 or more pieces of french toast with butter, syrup, and a glass of milk right before bed will do the trick. I swear to it. The mind is a powerful thing.

    Many times, but then again I'm misleading you. Needhelpbadly's answer talked about deja vu, and here's a recent AB conversation on the matter:

    this happens to me quite a lot. somtimes it is somthing big other times its somthing small but its always a mystery as people say you can't remember a dream unless you wake up in the middle of it

    This happens to me all the time.. It freaks me out.. sometimes when the actual dream becomes real its like i'm not supprised.. I've had so many dreams and I do get a little scared if they're bad ones.. I dreamt once that someone told me that your boyfriend had an accident and in my dream i asked why are you telling me this and that person said because he was calling out your name.. then waking up with anxiety and getting a call from my boyfriend in the morning he was abroad at the time saying that he had a seizure and he cant remember a thing but apparently the nurses said he was calling out my name.. I cried after i heard it.. I'm telling you its no coincidence there's someting in our brain that is used and we dont usually use that part.. maybe we can access it when we're sleeping.. Thing is this used to happen to me alot more when i was younger...

    It happened to me once when I was a child, it was amazing too. I have no freaking idea if it was supernatural or not, but the simplest explaination is innacurate memory.

    No, not quite like that. But I had a reoccuring dream and then had my Mom, tell her friends daughter that if she didn't leave her abusive husband now. She could wind up dead. It was so real, it was like being on the outside looking in. It was through a big glass window. So, the young lady paid heed to my dream since I had it like three nights in a row and she shortly there after took her kids and left. So, any way it was close.

    I had a dream a few months ago and it was violent and scary and a guy I work with was in it and someone was trying to kill me or him and we were helping each other. I told him about it. He was killed last night on a road that I drive on everyday. I'm soooo sad.

    I have had that happen my entire life. These are called "prognostic" dreams. Normally after the dream it does happen within 48-72 hours. There are 2 things that can help. #1) When you wake write everything down, sounds, smell, colors etc. #2) Write an email to yourself with the same info and context of the dream. You will soon learn that you have the gift of predicting certain events.

    Its been happening to me too. i have dreams about something and then days or months later it happend. its like Deja Vu. Its a suprise to me cause it happens at different times and they kind of mix up. like a dream i had a few days ago might come before a dream i had a year ago about something.

    Deja vu - 1. Psychology. the illusion of having previously experienced something actually being encountered for the first time.

    2. Disagreeable familiarity or sameness: The new television season had a sense of déjà vu about it—the same old plots and characters with new names.

    This is happens to me alot as well. This is especially common with situations that provoke a strong sense of anxiety. The subconcious mind is always operating when you are awake and often communicates with your concious mind.
