Can your dreams predict a person's death ? - Unexplained Mysteries

A 25-year study has looked into the correlation between precognitive death dreams and a person actually dying.
While there has never been any conclusive evidence to suggest that our dreams are capable of predicting future events, there are some who remain adamant that the idea does have merit.

One notable case, which occurred back in 1975, involved a woman who awoke from a terrible nightmare in which she had seen herself die while trying to rescue her daughter from a train track.

A mere two weeks later, both were killed by a train under the exact same circumstances.

But could this have just been a coincidence or was there more to it than that ?

Enter Dr. Andrew Paquette - a dream researcher who, skeptical of such claims, has conducted his own extensive study by recording his own dreams over a period of 25 years in an effort to prove that precognitive dreams are simply a case of random chance and selective memory.

In 2015 he carried out an analysis of his dream records by first looking for any dreams that related to the deaths of people he knew but that he had experienced before that person's actual death.

He ended up with twelve names, which he then cross-referenced against all his dreams.

His findings indicated that for those twelve people, his dreams about their deaths had been experienced much closer to their time of death than his dreams that were not about their deaths.

While this isn't that significant on its own (especially given that there was often a gap of up to six years between such dreams and the person's death), in one particular case he discovered that he had dreamed about a person's death on the very same day that they had actually died.

On that morning he had even awoken and told his wife that he was certain that the person was dead.

Could this have just been a coincidence or did he really foresee the death in his dream ?

As things stand, it's impossible to know for sure.

I have had this happen so I believe it to be true. I have been unable to prevent a death, but I have had several spot on precog dreams like this.

Anyone else have this experience?
 
I have not had this experience but I believe it’s true. People are often given future information and death would just be part of that.

Debi, all of those precog dreams of death you refer to, are they about people you know personally? Or where some precognition about famous persons/stars or even near strangers?

It is statistically very rare for me to dream about the death of someone - or it is at least rare for me to remember these dreams once awake. I’m certain that I’m talking about much less than 5% of my remembered dreams include someone’s death.
 
I have had what I thought were communication dreams after someone had passed. I believe it was a visit on a soul level.
That is how I interpreted it too. It was a dream visit from my mother about a year after she died. She said something very cryptic to me. I still don't understand what she meant.

Maybe start setting an intention before sleeping that you would like to know the meaning. Perhaps you will have another. The ones I had seemed just convey the message that they were ok and still alive in another location.

I have to throw my two cents in. UT, when I was a little boy I knew when people we're going to die. It was nothing more than a thought that pushed to the Forefront of my mind.
" This is going to be the last time I see Aunt Mary again."
It happened three times. By the time I hit puberty those premonitions went away but my dream life got really frisky. I don't doubt what you experienced.
