Dreaming of ex-boyfriends
It's not as saucy as it sounds, really.
But I did dream about my ex-boyfriend last night, a guy who I haven't seen in about seven years. I met him again, and it was really nice - we talked about what we had been doing for the past several years and all was well. Then he started saying that since I was back in Finland, we should get back together - and I tried to explain to him that I didn't really want to do that, I was after all moved on and married someone else.
When he heard this he got really angry and started shouting that I always mistreated him - this was at the Helsinki main railway station, and the whole building echoed from his shouts. I just wanted to get away thinking that I would call Chu as soon as I got home (I was apparently going to Pohjois-Haaga where I used to live as a kid), and I got on to the train. For some reason the train was going somewhere completely different and since I had to get this off my heart I started talking to my fellow passengers: whining that some people just can't take the hint.
At this point I woke up, about half an hour before my alarm goes off unable to get any more sleep. Weird - I haven't even thought about this person in ages and then I see this really vivid dream about him.

That's what I hear anyway. Don't know if it's true, and it's never happened to me.
But, just in case... watch out ;)

Only once in my life I've had a prophetic dream - once when I was a kid I dreamed what my mom was going to make for dessert.
So I'm not counting on it.

Yeah, uh, personally, I wouldn't put too much faith on dreams being worth shit when it comes to determining the future on anything other than a highly personal scale, ie. if you persistently dream about having to go to the bathroom, you just might have to go to the bathroom when you wake up. Just about anything beyond that is firmly in the realm of coincidence and desperate interpretation.
Of course, I'm a skeptic. Can you tell?

I have personally encountered no evidence either way. I was merely relaying the possibility.
For that matter, I can only assume that I do dream in the first place. I don't remember very many of them at all.
