Deja vu, Predictive, or Fear Dream

    Have you had a dream that came true?  Maybe is showed up as déjà vu, or you  had one of those frightening dreams of a loved one who has been harmed in some  way.  And then it happened.

    If you’ve ever been in a situation you thought you’ve seen before, it’s possible that  you could have dreamed it and that dream is invading your waking reality, warning    you of something to come.  On the other hand, it could be happening to get you to  pay more attention to your dreams.  So how do you know if what you’re  experiencing is a warning?  Let me take a stab at a few possibilities of what could be  going on and we’ll discover the answer to that question together.

Déjà Vu – the feeling that you’ve seen something before.  

     Real life scenes unfolding around you that feel incredibly familiar, are very  possibly scenes you’ve dreamed.  Almost always their origin is disguised.  But every  once in awhile you can identify a dream where that exact thing has happened, and  you have a partial answer; the question of where have you seen this before. I can’t  tell you that I know all the whys when it comes to this phenomenon of déjà vu, but I  can tell you this: your attention was not only captured by the experience, but your  curiosity was stirred.

    Many times those are our reactions to vivid dreams. I met someone recently who  had the experience of hours long episodes of déjà vu, whole days. When she felt  herself starting to have those strange familiar feelings, she’d become afraid  because she didn’t understand what was happening to her.  She may have  recognized that her déjà vu had been born in a dream, but what was she to do with  it?  Since the fear she as experiencing was not born in a nightmare, she was simply  fearing the unknown.

    If she decides to dig deeper in understanding her dreams,  what was happening before, or after, the déjà vu scenes, it could quite possible  shed light into why those parts of her dreams were being highlighted in her waking  life.  I’m not sure where a journey like that would take her, but I’ve dug deep enough into my own dreams to know that the effort is worth it. This is especially true if a person looks at an experience like this as the start of a conversation.

Predictive Dreams – A Dream that Came True

    Certain television and radio show have people labeling themselves as phychics when they experience predictive dreams.  The only thing they often get right about that is that they have a gift.  It’s not a gift of being psychic, more of a gift of having a receptive heart.  Kind of like the heart is a satellite receiver, of sorts. Once this gift is proven in the dreamer, it’s not only the dreamer’s responsibility to keep track of the dreams, but also have the insight to know whether to speak of the dream or to ponder it, even say a few prayers over it.  At times, when the dreamer of a predictive dream has some practice, they can speak into the situation the dream is presenting.  Predictive dreams that warn of something bad to come, should be handled with tact.

Fear Dreams — Dreams Creating Fear in the Dreamer’s Heart

    Fear dreams can be a bit tricky because they have the appearance of dreams that come true, but there’s one big difference.  When a person like a parent, for example, has a dream that some harm will befall their child and they embrace that fear and carry it into the waking world with them, they could very likely be an impetus to bring the situation to pass.  There is an idea that what we pay attention to we make room for.  If someone has a dream like this they have the power to speak out against it.  I would especially recommend this if the dream plays itself out in black and white.  It makes little difference if you speak it in the dream or once you wake up.  When you say “No, this will not happen to this family”  (or whatever phrase applies), you are flipping the dream and setting your will against it.
