Do Dreams Serve as a Premonition?

Being able to foresee an unfortunate fact of life like death, disasters, illnesses, etc. through a dream is very common. Anyone may dream of something good or bad happening to someone else or even to themselves. Do dreams serve as a premonition?

Before we proceed in answering the question, let me first give you the definition of premonition and dreams. Based on dictionary meaning a PREMONITION is a presentiment of the future; or a warning in advance while a DREAM is a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep; a wild fancy or hope or a reverie.

Let us first talk about dreams. We all know that dreams do play a role in our daily lives. The majority of people pay little attention to dreams. Dreams can help us find solutions to our daily problems and see things from a different perspective. Whenever we are dreaming, we can be who or what we want to be, regardless of the fact that in real life, sometimes it cannot be. Dreams have their own interpretation, like for example when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death. You can learn of your dream's meaning through a Dictionary of Dreams.

Now, what about premonitions? As defined earlier, it may be a warning in advance. A lot of people have had premonitions in different types of situations. When we say premonition, it is conveyed through dreams. A certain foreboding of what will happen in the near future but in a vague sense. Many cases of premonitions were documented like the disaster when Titanic sank and killed a lot of people, wherein there were fifty counts of premonitions. Some of the passengers who had a premonition cancelled their tickets before riding the Titanic, were saved from the horrible disaster that took place in 1912.
