    No, I never knew which were dreams of future, and which just dreamy dreams. No lucid dreams has ever been pregognative for me, so no changing them while dreaming either.

    At least twice I have dreamed with other people too, once I told my friend in a dream I was pregnant and she called the next day to congratulate me, (this was before social media and I had not told anyone else) and another time I got someone to call by finding them in a dream as I didn’t have their phone number.

    But the precog ones pissed me off - I was so mad because I didn’t want to believe the future was already set like that, and they weren’t vague enough that any other answer makes sense.

      I meant changing the outcome because you saw something in the dream.

      I don’t think the future is fully determined. Just some parts have to be because of our actions. I have some theories:

      Theory 1: maybe the universe is like a machine, and while it gives the impression that everything is possible, reality is that some outcomes are just not possible due to some limitation. Kinda like a game, you can have infinitely many possibilities of actions in an open world game but still there will be some options not possible because you choose some action at the start.

      Theory 2: maybe there really is someone who controls what happens in this universe. Like our dream is the announcement that something will happen but the enforcement happens later. And the exact nature of the enforcement depends on our and everybody else’s actions. In other words it is not decided what will happen but whatever happen will not go against the dream. We just dont know what other things could have happened given a dream.

      Of Course nobody knows the true nature, and we can only guess and ponder about it.
