As I've mentioned previously on other threads, around 20 years ago I had a series of visions concerning what I now recognize to be the present time, starting about 3 or 4 years ago, and ending in the very near future, likely early or late next year judging by current events.
Most of them pertained to events in my personal and professional life; my life, which by the end of the visions seemed like it was going badly and going to end very, badly; I'll just put it that way. While the visions enabled me to avoid some disasters (or perhaps God has spared me these disasters) I've wondered why they mostly pertain to me; and wouldn't seem of much use to anyone else.

But a 2 part vision that pertains to more than myself is related to this Charlie Kirk murder incident. I could say without a doubt in the first part that I saw (without knowing what it was at the time) a segment of Candace Owens' podcast episode 238- specifically the segment with Tabitha Barker and the children with her. In the second part; at a later time, against all odds, Candace Owens is on her podcast explaining to her audience that she is dropping the issue of CK's murder and moving on- and upon seeing this I was uncontrollably angry. Whether this is another event that will be averted, or simply a warning not to become angry when this happens; I don't know. But I know that we can take comfort knowing that God is in control.

Maybe that helps somebody, and maybe it doesn't. I am obviously not able to prove that I saw these things; and my intention is not to do that; nor is it to impress anyone with miraculous claims. On the contrary, reading this would seem like quite the eyeroller, had I not experienced it myself.

I have to b honest , I don't usually put much stock in dreams but , I had a recent experience .
On Nov 3rd I had to have my 16 and a half year old cat put to sleep . We were very very sad about this . The last year with him had been very stressful as he obviously wasn't himself , eating a lot less , being either very clingy or disappearing under the table for hours etc . We had also spent a small fortune on him . When he was gone there was also a sense of relief because we weren't so anxious and worried about him any more .
We immediately missed having a cat about and talked about getting another but , the cons outweighed the pros a fair bit so we decided to try and do without one if we could , we were worried about our ages , 58 and 60 and also enjoying the bit of extra cash that we now had as we didn't have cat things to buy .
In the first week of December I had a dream , I dreamt I was in a local market that I know well and walk past regularly . One of the stalls had kittens , lovely black and white ones , not tiny kittens , maybe 4 or 5 months old . I was filled with love for them and a burning desire to take them all home with me , I literally ached for them . Then my brain kicked in and told me ' no ' don't do it ! U know all the reasons that u don't want one ! With great sorrow I started to walk away from them and one of them jumped down from the stall and ran in front of me from my right side to my left . That was it .
December the 19th , I'm walking home from my mum's , I pass the market but don't look on it . I cut down a side access road and suddenly , from the right a little black and white cat runs across my path ! Exactly like the one in my dream and from my right to my left side ! She stops on the pavement next to my feet , she's dirty , damp , thin and looking at me and crying . I imagine u can guess the rest , I scoop her up in my arms and take her home . Her name is Amy , she's about 9 months old now , the vet said that she has already had a litter of kittens despite being no more than a kitten herself . She's driving us crazy , into everything onto everything , she's absolutely gorgeous and I believe she was meant for us .
As for dreams ? Who am I to tell anyone that their dreams don't matter ? I also have a theory about dreams , did u ever have a dream with people in it that u don't know but , u could c their faces so clearly ? So very detailed and clear that u think that u must know them or how could u c them so clearly ? Well , I say u do know them ! Maybe not well but , u have seen them before , u just don't remember when or where . Their faces have been stored in your memory / subconscious . Some people say that we never actually forget anything , it's just that we can't always access all of our memories . I think that we have met everyone that we c in our dreams , we just don't consciously remember them .

I've thought about this theory myself; because our brains are capable of recording all sorts of information without us realizing it, and then using that information in strange ways. One theory in academia is that sometimes what we see in our dreams is the result of our brains cleaning up storage space and compressing information; which I have no doubt is often the case especially with the more chaotic and nonsensical dreams.

In other cases I've found that I can't reduce my dreams to natural processes; one specifically in the post above yours- as the dreams were almost 2 decades ago; I also saw people who were either not born yet, or just being born, and people who would have been in their youth at the time. I also saw the interior of 2 buildings where I work in great detail; secure facilities that I did not have access to at the time- along with the faces of people who presently work there, who did not work there at the time; and specific events that have happened over the last few years- and I'm not talking about anything "symbolic"; I saw stupid levels of detail that would be pretty much impossible for my brain to conjure up with the limited life experiences that I had at the time.

To add to this utter insanity; there were also layers to this precognition; because in those dreams I was there (here) in the future (what is now the present) and I was aware (in the dream) of having already dreamt about events that were happening in the dream; and I also had a limited memory about what would eventually be my future; I knew that I had been in the military (which wasn't true IRL at the time), and a little about what I used to do (or what I eventually did do) in the military... but this series of dreams had a such a traumatic end for me, that I dismissed them as garbage and suppressed the memory of them; so I only remember them when something triggers the memory- for example: the first time I took readings on equipment in the Navy (IRL), it triggered a memory of the dream where I was taking readings on equipment at the place I presently work... which, again- when I had these dreams, I knew pretty much nothing about machines IRL.

So, if there is a "natural" explanation for all of this, then I think "nature" is far more convoluted than anyone can understand or imagine.

I saw stupid levels of detail
Since this thread has drawn a little more interest; I'll go into a little detail about how much detail I actually saw.

So, in one of these dreams, I needed to measure one of the facilities that I currently work in- and in this dream, there was a "trainer" who was helping me. He told me to measure the interior area of the building by counting the floor tiles and then multiply the number of tiles by the tile length. So I counted the tiles and punched the numbers into a calculator, and brought the calculation back to the "trainer".... He laughed at me and told me that my calculation was wrong and to do the calculation again.

Fast forward to the present day- the day came where it was time to measure the facility IRL; but IRL it was just me- no trainer... but just like I learned from the dream, I count the number of floor tiles and multiply it by the tile length to get the interior area of the building. I write down the number... I pause, remembering the dream.... do the calculation again- and find that my first calculation was wrong.

To add to this utter insanity;
Apparently I need to be more careful about how I report these dreams because I think I have been gently rebuked for using the word "insanity"; although, it may sound like insanity to some people, the things I am saying are my best recollection of something that actually happened and not something inspired by madness. I tend to use more hyperbole and inflammatory speech than is prudent; but resolve to be more calibrated going forward.

So, I've been praying for this dude over the last month or so; who reportedly has some addiction that is putting him in the hospital. Last time I prayed for him, he got out the next day, praise the Lord. The problems is, I remember this being part of the visions... in the visions, I was told he died later on; probably a couple months from now.

In real time, I've been told he has already made it back to the hospital after his unexpected speedy release. I know that in the visions, I asked people to pray; but I never followed up after that- and I found out later that he died. I don't really know what to do.

Maybe pray to God for a sign for him if you’re up for that.
We always pray for the dead in our church. Death is a door not the end. We will all pass through and face God.

I think I will do that. This is such a weird situation, I don't even really know the guy- he is a co-worker's son; but the whole vision thing makes me feel almost responsible to be involved in some way, or at least more involved than I was before (in the vision). I almost feel guilty for how things went in the vision- under normal circumstances, I would say feeling bad about something that hasn't even really happened yet is ridiculous; but here I am.
 
People are understandably concerned about the escalation with Iran- in my visions I was against it for the same reasons as Charlie Kirk, and I kind of still am; but in the visions I was angry: like tablet-smashing, egyptian-slaying Moses angry.

The regime went out, like the candles of a child's birthday cake are blown out. In the short-term the US and others will probably benefit economically. Not sure about the aftermath/2nd order effects with long term implications; but I don't doubt there could be a future reckoning.

Regardless of how we benefit, I still wish this could have been avoided. I suppose it still can; but it seems unlikely at this point. If only the Jihadis didn't have such tunnel vision.
 
Well ... i have been praying to God to give me a sign for someone who passed away recently and a couple of nights ago i had a dream of my friend who passed away almost a year ago in his sleep.
Not sure why i saw him because i wasn't praying for him but i will ask around at work if anything new has happened with his family. He left 2 daughters behind and his wife.
