I wish! I'd try to remember a few lotto numbers.

That would be nice but no I do not believe they are.

I remember about a 2 week period in my twenties (20yrs ago) where I had a series of prophetic dreams. #1 Dreamed my motor cycle was stolen. Next morning cops knock at my door telling me my motor cycle is up the street just sittin there undamaged. #2 Next night I dreamed my sunglasses got broke. Next day there they are laaying tere broke. #3 Next night I dreemed about a broken lawn chair. Couple days later at Mom and Dads, I'm pulling chairs out of the shed. I see the one from my dream. It looks fine. Someone sat on it and a few minutes later it slowly started bending. The aluminum just gave out. #4 We were camping and the car would'nt start. We were not too worried because we did't need anything. And still had several days to go. About 2 days before we had to leave we started wondering what to do. That night I had a dream about a man and knew not to worry. Next day after 5 days of seeing no other humans, comes this guy walking up the dirt path. Very friendly he was, asked him to stay and eat w/us. We come to find out he's a mechanic. He fixed the car for us. I have never really experienced any prophetic dreams since. But I really got into dreams after that. And have a journal I write them in. And have since found that dreams quite often do have meaning. Way too complex to explain here.

No. Not directly at least, even though our unconscious mind might have better knowledge of deeper patterns in the universe, and so might have a better intuition of what is going on and therefore going to happen next in the near future. Maybe it's like the deeper and more vague the pattern, the less dreams can predict accurately. But it would always be a tentative prediction because free will could always come along and disrupt the pattern at any moment. The future as it will actually be is truly untouchable. Just like we can predict the weather, but we can't predict a disaster that would effect the weather, u know? What I think dreams are really good for is to tell us "where" we are, and send us revelations from vague and subtle subconscious places keeping us updated and informed like an internal mirror could. Sleep in general is good for memory too they say. Dreams do not really tell us who we are, I don't believe.

No :)

Absolutely. They may show your feelings and your fears but not the future.

no your dreams dont tell the future. the human mind does not have that capability. You see?

No

Sometimes. Not always.

Agree not always but yes they can.

YES! I'v had a few, mainly disasters. Estonian Ferry, Air Disasters, Boxing Day Tsunami. Its becoming more common these days, 2000 years after Christ, the new age of aquarius. I happened upon this site because I may have had one this morning. A daytime air disaster in a city, possibly Boston USA. Hope I'm wrong!

Not unless the future involves a bevy of topless waitresses, a set of winning lottery numbers and a George W. Bush Slap-A-Thon. But, seriously folks, I think that dreams could have the ability to help unravel certain mysteries such as remembering where you left your car keys or details forgotten; alleviating personal problems such as making a decision to leave a spouse or dealing with a difficult co-worker; or helping one to determine a possible course of action in any number of situations, but there would be very little chance of proving actual precognition to anyone else. Most people would look at you like you were a little crazy if you tell them that you had a dream and believed that those events would occur as they did in your dream. There's also the possibility of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

No. They're telling the present and past (things in Your memory)... and might be Your subconscious predictions of the future. . Dreams tell You about fears and desires You don't dare to reveal to Yourself.
