Sharon Kay Penman once said -During the day, memories could be held at bay, but at night,
dreams became the devil's own accomplices- … an interesting thought, but what if dreams
and nightmares arent only confined to when you fall asleep.
What if they can happen in real life?
What if nightmares are warnings of things yet to come?
Perhaps youve had an experience where a nightmare has come true - well, these people on Reddit
shared their experiences of when it happened to them - once I started reading them, I really
couldn't stop, here are the very best, my name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10
Nightmares That Became Real Stories.
Starting off at number 10 we have Suffocation[a].
This one comes from Beautiful Amari who said -I work really early hours, and sometimes
when I get home I nap.
One Wednesday in December I came home and slept, and dreamt that someone I knew personally
was dying by choking to death.
That Friday I learned on the news that a friend of mine from high school was found strangled
to death in his office.
He was killed that Wednesday, around the same time I had the dream- … In the dream, his
friend was choking, that makes me think of food - but in reality they were strangled
to death.
Not quite the same but still both tragic and similar enough to raise a few eyebrows about
whether the storyteller has a gift for premenition …
Moving on to number 9 now we have Buckle Up[b].
This one comes from SubDee54 who said -I had a dream about a car crash a couple months
before it happened.
Fast forward, I'm about to get in my ex's car when a voice in my ear tells me to buckle
up, which I had almost never done up to that point because teenagers are stupid.
Anyway, I get in, buckle up, we talk, yadda yadda.
Then we end up at this spot I've never been to before.
I literally don't remember the time between leaving his house and arriving at that destination.
It's a blank.
There's a car coming and we end up t-boned on my side.
I get out and sit on a nearby curb waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
Then, there's a brief moment of clarity where I realize…
Both cars are in the exact same position as in the dream.
I'm sitting exactly in the same position (knees close to chest, holding my head, later found
out I had suffered a mild concussion) and the exact same spot as in the dream.
Even the road is the same.
Even my outfit down to my shoes is the same.
It still freaks me out- … man, that sounds like a case of deja vu except you almost die
in it … Except it wasnt dejavu - they say they really
do remember having that dream.
I also find it strange that they chose to do their seatbelt just that one time - interesting
- also, always buckle up guys.
Yeah.
Just do it.
Next up at number 8 we have The Seizure.
This one came from Kirtinam11 who said -In 2013 I dreamt I had a stroke and was desperately
trying to explain to my husband what was happening.
Two years later, I woke up in the middle of the night on my couch, with my husband and
roommate looking at me, concerned.
I sat up, my left side was in full paralysis, and I tried to tell my husband to call 911
because I was having a stroke.
He couldn't understand me, but thankfully he'd already called because while I was unconscious,
I had a seizure.
It turns out I had a brain aneurysm rupture and only minutes to get to a hospital and
in surgery.
The whole thing was so disturbing.- … first of all, can you imagine how terrifying that
would be?
And secondly, I hope they told their husband about the dream when it happened because maybe
it would have helped him prepare?
Maybe not actually - we can prepare for every dream or nightmare we have to come true.
Moving on to number 7 we have Missing Teeth[c].
This one comes from Reddit User Kubrick Fan.
They said -I had a dream once when I was in the woods, tripped over something and smashed
my teeth in.
I was an air cadet at the time, and there was an optional night exercise that was due
to happen in my local woods in the same week that I had the dream in.
I chose not to go.
One of the more senior cadets did go on the night exercise.
He tripped over something in the dark woods and smashed three teeth out.- … OK, compared
to some of the other stories on our list, losing 3 teeth is not exactly high stakes
- but I just love how convinced this story teller was that his dream was gonna happen.
They don't specify but it sounds like they literally didnt go on the trip just because
they had a dream about knocking their teeth out - if that was me, Id go on the trip and
just be a bit more careful to not trip over, maybe it was my brains way of reminding me
to take care, I wouldnt cancel the whole trip.
OK, lets move on, Im getting a bit too invested in the stories …
Next up at number 6 we have Yet To Come[d].
OK so this story doesnt quite meat the criteria of the title of this video but its too good
to leave out.
It comes from Reddit user I Make Milk.
They said -I have had a reoccurring dream, since I was about eight-years-old, that I
will be shot and killed in a mall when I am 37-years-old.
It is very specific, but the mall looks completely unfamiliar to any mall in the city where I
have lived my entire life.
I am now 32, with a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
I have the same dream, sometimes only once a year, sometimes multiple times a month.
I never go to any mall; I don't trust the "age" thing.
But I certainly won't visit a single mall when I am 37.
It scares the crap out of me.
Will report back in five years, if I'm not dead- … OK, that is legitimately horrifying.
Can you imagine having the same dream for almost 30 years that youre going to get shot
and killed at a specific age in a specific place?
Even if you brushed it off as not real, it would still be there in the back of your head
- and then when you dream about it again a few years later, it just gets even worse.
They posted that 3 years ago which means they are now 35 - just 2 more years left, I hope
theyre gonna be OK …
Moving on to number 5 now we have The Boy On TV[e].
This one comes from Katieg4.
She said -My sister had a dream that some boy got killed in our neighborhood.
She had never seen this boy before or knew his name.
Two days later, there was news coverage about a boy — the boy from her dream.
It was my mom's friend's son, and he was stabbed to death in real life.
So creepy- … yeah, that one is very creepy but I also found it unique because they didnt
actually recognise the person the nightmare was about until they saw their face on TV.
Some skeptics might say that she put the face to the dream when she saw the boy on the news,
even if it was just subconscious.
Others might say that youd remember a face from a dream like that, thered be no mistaking
it.
I think if she went round telling people that this boy was going to die and then he actually
got murdered, that would make her look a bit suspicious - its a tricky one, what would
you guys do in this situation?
Next up at number 4 we have Good Friday[f].
This one came from Sierrao44 who said -My grandmother was really sick my freshman year
of high school.
The doctor and my mom warned me she probably wouldn't make it to my birthday, Valentine's
Day, and I promptly told them, 'No, she's going to die on Good Friday.'
I'm not religious at all, but she was.
And I was right — despite the fact she was extremely ill, she held on until 3 p.m. on
Good Friday, just like I said- … OK, that is a bit creepy but something seems a little
bit off here.
The storyteller almost seems a little bit smug about getting the death date of their
Grandma right?
Is it just me?
Maybe its just me …
Moving onto number 3 we have Sterile[g].
This one comes from LetsCrash who said -I had a dream about a lady I used to work with,
I'll call her Rose.
I knew Rose to the extent of I saw her at work and occasionally bought Avon products
from her.
We had no other interaction really and I knew very little about her personal life.
One night I had a dream I was talking with her, and she broke down, telling me about
all she wants in life is children and how she can't have them.
She was devastated of course in my dream.
Weird of course but I thought nothing else of it, apart from telling my SO at the time
about it when I woke up.
The next morning at work there were a group of us eating in the canteen.
Someone mentioned at the table they had seen Rose crying and wondered what was up.
Another lady who was good friends with her said not to say anything but Rose had just
discovered she was sterile.
Pretty mental, this was about three-years ago and it still makes me wonder.- … that
is strange - and very specific too, Rose actually said that she couldn't have children.
Do you think maybe the storyteller picked up on a vibe, maybe some sort of natural instinct?
I dunno, I want there to be a good explanation for this but its pretty hard to find ...
Next up at number 2 we have The Disaster.
This one came from Reddit user Oesjmr.
He said 'I've only had one premonition-type of dream and it came true within hours.
In the dream, I was standing in a field, looking up into the morning sky, watching a fireball
fall with a smoke trail behind it.
Pieces of it were breaking off here and there.
I was with a handful of other people, who I did not know, and we were all looking up
in amazement.
A radio was on and there was a man stating, "Do not touch any pieces of the space craft
that may crash to earth due to potential radiation contamination," and things of that nature.
We all stood looking into the sky for a few more moments before I woke up.
When I woke from the dream, I noticed it was still dark outside, so I looked at the clock.
It was 2:35 AM (EST).
I got up, got a drink of water, laid back in bed and thought about the dream for a while.
I was having trouble going back to sleep, so I turned on the radio and eventually drifted
back to sleep.
I woke up in the morning, and to my disbelief, I was hearing the same voice from the radio
in my dream hours before on the radio now, saying similar things.
I thought, "What the hell is going on?!"
I turned on the TV, switched it over to a news channel, and saw this video on the screen.
Space Shuttle Columbia had just disintegrated during re-entry.
I get goosebumps even today thinking about it.- … what do you guys think about that?
Was it just a massive coincidence?
Does he dream about space shuttles a lot anyway?
Or did he really witness one of the worst disasters in space travel before it even happened?
And finally at number 1 we have the Chain Reaction.
Reddit user Jessicac4 said -I dreamt I was in a car crash.
In the dream, a red car went through a stoplight and hit my car so hard that I hit someone
else, who hit the guy next to him, and made him crash into a pole.
A week later, I was sitting at a red light when it turned green.
My gut told me to wait and not go.
Suddenly, a red car came zooming from the intersection, ran the red light, hit the car
next to me, and hit the car next to him, running him straight into a pole.
It was some serious Final Destination stuff and I still get chills thinking about it-
… so for that one, is was an exact copy of what happened in his dream except this
time - he learnt from it.
Thats interesting.
Out of all the ones weve looked at today, I don't think there are many examples of people
either learning from their premonition or even having the power to stop it from coming
true - what do you think the reason is for that?
Well, I dunno about you but this has given me a lot to think about - my gut tells me
that there is a separation between reality and dreams but stories like this really make
me question things - Im interested to hear your take on it - thanks for listening as
always guys, my name is Danny Burke and Ill see you all in the next video.
