Prophetic Dreams

One of the topics we have discussed at length over at the PSICAN paranormal message forums are dreams, in particular prophetic dreams.

The Stuff that Dreams Are Made by John Anster Fitzgerald, circa 1858

Personally I do believe I have had a handful of dreams over the past 40 + years that may in fact have been prophetic. None of these were what I would consider earth shattering, but enough for me to consider the possibility.

In our discussions the topic came up of prophetic dreams that indicate a possible crime. What to do? What would you do if you had a dream that you felt was related to a past, present, or future crime? Would you go to the police?

My gut reaction to that last question was yes, absolutely! However, upon deeper reflection the answer is not an easy one at all. What if the dream provided only very vague details, or no known location? What if, the police felt you were some sort of crackpot, and dismissed what you had to say anyway? If they did listen to you, and you were wrong would you have wasted their time, possibly even harming their investigation?

A lot of questions, and unfortunately not a single cut and dry answer.

What are your thoughts?

I tend to have dreams that seem prophetic, though nothing profound... I'll dream of someone or something that I haven't seen in awhile and the next day or a few days later I will see them in real life. Of course it could be coincidence but it happens fairly often.

As far as reporting information about a possible crime to the police, unless the dream was very specific, no. Even then, I don't know. Weird question. ;p

Stu -> Thank you for sharing these thoughts. The question had come up recently based on a what if kinda thing.
