Crazy as a coconut?

I wasn't really sure to post this here, but i believe this post belongs more here than to nightmares section.

First of all, I have always thought that people who claim to be prophets are lying or compleatly out of their minds. I have to admit that my opinnion has not changed much. I'm only asking if it's possible to actually have these dreams, see I'm very confused. I have doupted gods existance and at the moment I don't belong to any church at all. So, I'm not in faith.

I haven't seen many dreams for a long time. Or at least I don't remember any. But back when i was 12 years old, I had one of my three dreams that you could MAYBE consider as prophecy. As cliché it might sound and you have propably seen some looney talk about this thing..the night before the planes hit the WTC I saw that in my dream. When i woke up I was really devastated. First bacause I hadn't seen any dreams lately and second, it felt very real to me. I went to the kitchen and told that two towers were coming down today and that I didn't want to go to school. My parents, back then, thought it was just a dream. Later, when they found out what happened, we made a pact, never to tell anyone about my dream. The dreams did not stop to that occasion. After that dream, I was sure it was only a coincidence.

I don't remember how long it took to see the second dream but I think it was a month after the WTC. I walked into my room and i saw this character, who looked a lot like me. he greeted and i said hi back to him. I knew this person, In the dream I felt love towards him...happiness. I wasn't confused at all. But when i woke up, I was. When the breakfast was set, I went to ask my mother if I ever had a brother with a tear on my eye. I don't know why it made me cry, I hardly ever cry. I was blown away when she said "yes" (what later confused me was that she wasn't even slightly surprised). We talked about it for 10 minutes and she told me that the baby died when it was 5 months old and it was supposed to my brother. We never talked about it again. At this cause of point I though to myself that i was going crazy and I needed to get some help. Even thinking about that it might be a propethic dream was just stupid and if I heard someone else talk like that, I would've slapped him/her silly.

I had the third dream when i was 8. It was a really odd night. Even know when I write about it, I feel scared. It's just something I never want to witness again. My window was closed but the book flew to the floor like it was thrown there by wind. I just thought it was my imagination or maybe the air conditioning in the other room. I forced to keep my eyes shut and I fell asleep. That dream is something unspeakable. I saw a...well, might aswell tell it straight..legless angel who couldnt fit into my room. He was huge, no face could be seen. No light, no sound. He just stood there and watched me. It felt like forever. I wanted to wake up from that dream but i couldn't. Mind you, I was peaceful in the dream. Scared and peaceful at the same time. To this very day I haven't concidered it as something important. But now I connected them with those two other dreams and it kind of started the whole episode of dreams. After that, I haven't had any dreams. Just the war against afganistan and some bombings, but I think those can be mixed up with reality and news from tv. I mean I knew there were possibility for those things so they were just normal dreams.

The dreams aren't the only things that happened. They were just a part of bigger things happening in my life. A lot has happened to my family since I had those dreams. Each one of us has almost lost his/her life at least once. Some of us two times. It seems like a miracle itself that we are all still alive. I have almost been killed two times, the other one was unexplained fever that lasted for 2 weeks exactly, no reason was found. Medicine did not work. 5 days in hospital, nothing found. Then it just went away. The other was a carcrash. A night before that I had prayed for the very first time in my life. Or well, "prayed"..I pretty much told this god guy how much he sucked ass and that I would bring him down for taking my brother (yes...silly). The next day I was drunk like all people in the country were. It was midsummer fest and we crashed our car at 90 km/h. For the whole time I knew nothing was going to happen to me. Everyone else were paniced and asking me if I was ok, but I just smiled. I had no seatbelt on me. We missed a 10 cm wide iron pole by 1 cm. It went right beside my seat. It would have hit me and no doupt, killed me. I was asking for a sign, and I got it. The next day that is.

After that I really didn't know what to believe. I still don't believe in the Jesus Christ or bibles fairytales. I'm asking you to tell me if it's possible that those dreams had a deeper meaning than I think. I really don't know why I'm writing this here but I needed to ask someone, anyone. I can't ask any of my friends, fiancee, or family (exept my mother), because even i think it sounds crazy. My friends would react the same way. I am really confused. There are still unexplained events but they are just irrelevant to the issue.

Kingpin, i can only advise you to not allow this to consume you, do not trouble yourself over the past but look towards the future, even if it comes to you before it does to others. *Who knows... You may even profit from being a prophet if you are one.(joke) * anyways, if you haven't gotten any more dreams about possible future occurrences since your childhood then perhaps it is no longer relevant to you, also keep in mind that if you search for connections between things it is likely that you will find a connection, however small that may be. If you do have another dream that you think could be important do not write it off as nothing but, MOST dreams are NOT prophetic. To instantly assume this, will lead to many mis-interpretations, dreams are usually selfish, meaning that they are about you specifically, a good 90 percent of the time. So don't always assume its a prophecy every time you dream.

I know i probably haven't helped much but at least i wasn't spamming :P

I haven't let these things bother me, but now I started thinking about them a whole lotta more. See I don't have much dreams. The once I have are somehow important. Sometimes they deal with the world events (that's the case I don't think is propethic at all - exept MAYBE the WTC) but the ones I started thinking about are about the ones closest to me. It hasn't been too long from the last dream I had, since I am not exactly an old person. So I don't think they have stopped yet... not exactly waiting for the next one since it's terryfying when i wake up from them.

That was very true what you said about connecting the dots. I don't just blindly believe in these kind of things. I'm very spectic towards religion and spirits etc. Honestly, by no offence to other "storytellers", I think it's just humbug. However, I originally posted the thread because I thought it was a really small chance that what occured was only a coincidence. I didn't have to make connections to the events, they were already clear and there. Knowing something about someone even though he/she hasn't told me is not coincidence in my honest opinion. It should be impossible.

Of course, if I'd normally dream alot, I wouldn't connect any dots. Simply because there wouldn't be no dots to connect. I won't worry about those dreams or what happened, just very confused about what has occured and don't know what to believe in.
