A Dream

scojones

I had a dream on Thursday night. A very vivid one. It was a dream where a horse called Dix Villez won at Punchestown. I can remember everything about the dream, it was sunny. I can remember the entire race. In my dream Dix Villez ended up winning by one or two lenghts. I checked for the horse last night and saw that it was racing today at Punchestown in the 3.40 race. I did not back it, as I thought it would never win. It ended up winning at 8/1. I'm absolutely gutted Has anyone ever had similar experiences?

Thats amazing. Even more amazing that you didnt back it. If you dream of six numbers for gods sake do the lotto.

Has this ever happened before?

Once before. I woke up crying uncontrollably. I'd had a dream that my best friend had been killed in a car crash. It was 8am so I didn't try to call him cause he would have thought I was a nutjob. I got a phone call about 30 minutes after waking to say that he had been killed. This was back in 2003.

Interesting, but tbh you could just be retrospectively constructing the dreams. I often notice that if I do not immediatly write a dream down it changes in my memory. Dreams are empheral in nature and thus are manipulated easily by the mind.

Well infairness, with regards to the dream about the horse winning, I told everybody about it on Friday. That was a day before the race. I didn't even know the horse existed at this stage, I just told my friends the name of it and the dream I had. It wasn't until Friday night when I was using my laptop that I checked to see if the horse existed; low and behold it did and was entered to run in the race on Saturday.

So did any of your friends make a few bob?:D
You should really start trying to 'prompt' this kind of thing, ask yourself a question going to sleep (nothing serious mind) and say to yourself that youll dream of the answer. See if it ever works.

Hehe, my Dad did. That was about it I think. I'll try that out, not a bad idea

Er, everyone seems pretty nonchalant about this; maybe you all have pre-cognitive dreams all the time.

Just to recap, you're telling us that you dreamt about a horse - that you'd never heard of - winning a race, two days before that horse won a race. And this is after dreaming about your friend dying in a car crash the morning that he died?

If you're not completely pulling the piss on this - and, call me gullible, but it doesn't seem that you are - then my worldview is well and truly shaken.

A guy I know had a similar experience to yours with respect to your friend - a hugely vivid dream about his lifelong friend, from meeting him for the first time to their most recent interactions, on the morning of the friend's death. But, somehow, that didn't strike me as being as weird as this winning horse prediction which is well and truly freaky.

Stick around Vok, it does get weird here but its 99% interesting.

Funnily,

My Father-in-law dreamt that NumberSixValverde would win the Grand National.
He told us all about it a week before it won!

He is not a racing fan, and only ever backs on the 4 or 5 big races during the year, and he can hardly pronounce the horses name.

Needless to say near all his kids backed it, and I dismissed it as rubbish

I believe there is a general path that life will follow and if you can tap into it and look ahead a bit it can be an amzing thing. Its not something i have any sort of gift for but its definately interesting.

Trust me, I'm not pulling the piss. He died on the 13th of July 2003 in Bandon, Co. Cork. Obviously I'll never forget the day. My ex, who was my gf at the time woke me up because I was in hysterics. I told her what I dreamt about and she brushed it off as a bad dream - obviously. I walked her to work, it was her first day and she had a bad feeling too, very like mine but she put it down to it being her first day at work. I went back up to her house, I was still shaking. I sat down at her families breakfast table and let on to everyone that I was just hungover, and that's why I looked a wreck. About 15 minutes later my ex arrived in the door balling crying. I thought something happend in work because I began to relax a little while I was with her family, trying to forget about the dream. She ran out the back and I followed her and she just kept screaming "How did you know?". That's when I knew what I dreamt had happend, and the hair just stood up on my back and my neck. I can't explain it. It was awful. One of the lads she was working with was an emergency services volunteer around the Bandon area and he was late for work. He was the one who told her what had happend when he showed up at work. I've never looked up dreams or anything like that before, and I always put what happend down to us being close on some other level, and that's why I had the dream. But the dream about the horse winning at Punchestown doesn't make sense and goes against my reasoning behind the first dream.

I'm no expert, but is it possible that it is your friend, giving you a helping hand?

very good point prospect and an interesting way to look at it. Could the name of the horse have any other significance?

My dad had a similar dream years ago, about a horse winning a race. he looked in the paper the next day and sure enough the horse was there. He won a hundred quid on it, which was loads of money back then. He never dreamt of anymore winners though.
