Many people in the world believe in prophetic dreams, some treat them with a certain degree of skepticism and mistrust. But if you study history in detail, it becomes quite obvious that dreams not only come true, prophetic dreams exist. And even more than that, they are seen by far from the chosen and not a few. Almost all people have the ability to see prophetic dreams, but most of them simply cannot remember everything they saw in a dream in the morning.
According to psychiatrists, people see this kind of predictions in a dream quite often. But the most interesting thing is that only in extreme cases, very rarely, with the exceptional significance of information, the information received in a dream is displayed in the subconscious.
Here are some historical facts that confirm the existence of prophetic dreams.
So, M. Lomonosov, returning from Germany to Russia by ship, had a dream: he dreamed of an island in the Arctic Ocean, which he visited with his father. At the island, he saw a wrecked ship that was caught in a storm, as well as his father. As soon as Lomonosov arrived in St. Petersburg, he literally immediately went to Kholmogory to his brother, from whom he learned that his father, along with other fishermen, went on a ship to the sea. For four months, no news came from the fishing artel, and none of the fishermen returned. The scientist was already going to sail to the island himself, but some circumstances did not allow him to carry out his plan. Therefore, he gave money to his brother and persuaded the sailors to go to the island, having previously described it. Very soon the fishermen went out to sea, and found the island, and on it - and the bodies of the dead sailors,among whom was Vasily Lomonosov.
Another proof of the existence of prophetic dreams is the story of Plutarch. On the eve of Caesar's murder, his wife saw a terrible dream in her dream, allegedly holding the body of her murdered husband in her arms. The woman woke up and told Caesar about her terrible dream. He took what he heard very seriously and even thought about canceling the Senate meeting, but the next day he was very busy and forgot about the nightmare. In the end, he was indeed killed.
But what a dream the inspector of the criminal investigation department V. Shirochenko had. In a dream, he saw that he was returning home and in the elevator sees a large brown suitcase, from which rolls of multi-colored fabric fell out. The next day he forgot about his vision, and in the evening, returning home, he saw a suitcase from his dream, which stood behind a column. In it, of course, there were rolls of fabric, which were stolen by unknown persons from the factory.
An interesting incident happened in 1946 with the Marshal of the Royal Air Force, Victor Goddard. At one of the receptions, he heard someone mention his name with great concern and regret. As it turned out, one of his colleagues had a terrible dream in which Goddard was flying on an airplane, got into a snowstorm, and fell on the rocks. In addition to the marshal, there were also a woman and two civilians on the plane. Moreover, all the passengers survived, and only the marshal was killed. What he heard did not make any impression on Goddard, despite the fact that he was supposed to fly to Tokyo in the evening. Perhaps he did not attach any importance to sleep, since he was going to fly alone and there was no question of any passengers. But everything that happened next looked, to say the least, strange. First, one journalist, having learned about the route of the marshal, asked him to take him on board. Then the embassy counselor also asked him to take him along with the secretary as passengers on the plane. Then everything happened as in a dream, with only one happy exception - Goddard remained alive. According to psychiatrists, the failure occurred because it became the property of a large number of people, but at the same time there is a belief that if a person wants his dream to come true completely, he cannot be told to anyone.
An equally interesting story happened with Edward Samson, an American journalist. On the night of August 29, 1883, he fell on duty at the editorial office of the newspaper where he worked. But, as usual, the journalist fell asleep and saw a short dream, which literally horrified him. Samson even recorded the dream, because he could not understand what caused such horror. He dreamed of a small beautiful island located near Java. There was a high mountain on the island, which suddenly exploded, splashing out a sea of fire on the island. People gather on the coast, where they are destroyed by huge waves caused by the earthquake. The entire island in the center is flooded with fire, and a tsunami is raging on the coast. In the morning, the journalist went home after duty. At the same time, the editor who came to work decided that what was written was a telegram accepted by Samson,and ordered to give the article on the first page. Thus, information about the terrible catastrophe on the island of Pralape appeared in several American publications. The readers were interested in the story, and they began to demand details and continuation, but the editorial board, of course, did not have any new information. Samson, who was summoned to the editor, was forced to tell where this message came from, for which he was immediately fired. In addition, all attempts to find Pralape Island on the map were unsuccessful. The newspaper had already prepared an apology, but they were not destined to appear on the pages of the publication, as fragmentary data began to appear about the terrible disaster that occurred in the Indian Ocean. Terrible tsunamis hit the coasts of Malaysia and India. Large waves could be seen off the coast of both the Americas and Australia. All this led to the eruption of the Krakotau volcano, which was indeed located near the island of Java. Well, the journalist who managed to describe the tragedy before it happened was returned to his former place of work with great honor.

A similar thing happened to a British military engineer who was very interested in dreams and even kept a dream diary. In the spring of 1902, the engineer wrote that he had a dream in which he was on an unknown island in some city, but at the same time he understood that both the city and the island would soon perish. He tried to draw the attention of the authorities to this circumstance, but no one believed him, and soon everything really died. And a few days after the dream, reports began to arrive about the death of the city of Saint-Pierre, which was on the island of Martinique.
Another story that has documentary confirmation is the story of the English captain Adrian Christian. When he was a child, he often dreamed in which he was the captain of a ship and rescued a sinking ship with his brother on board. And since the boy saw this dream quite often, he told his mother about it, and she wrote down the words of her son on the last page of the family Bible. After 47 years, Adrian became a captain, and once again he saw his childhood dream. He also drew attention to the word "family", written by someone unknown. His ship sailed to Rangoon from Sydney, but the captain ordered a change of course. And the very next day the sailors noticed a ship named "Family", which was wrecked. Then they managed to save more than 200 people, including the captain's brother.
A separate group of dreams is made up of such dreams in which the living meet with the dead and receive certain important information from them.
Many have heard of such a work as Dante's Divine Comedy, and some have read it. But few people know that this great work might not have been written. From history it is known that Dante died almost immediately after the writing of "Comedy". He died in Ravenna, where he was in exile. After the death of the poet, his sons, Pietro and Jacopo, discovered that most of the manuscript was missing. They spent many months trying to find the missing pages, but it was all in vain. But one day Jacopo had a strange dream in which his father took him to his office and showed him a cache. In the morning, the cache was indeed discovered, and in it were the songs of the poem that had been looking for so long.
Another story related to prophetic dreams happened in April 1856 in Pennsylvania. One of the local farmers, Samuel Cox, has two sons missing. They were searched for almost two weeks, but they could not find them. But something unexpected happened: a farmer who lived 20 miles from the scene saw the bodies of dead children in a dream, and later managed to accurately paint the place where they were. The locals were so impressed by what was happening that they erected a monument in his honor.
There are many stories in which people were helped by the things of dreams, and many of them are documented. This is the story of Thomas Edison, who, before going to bed, made up questions to which he wanted to get answers in his sleep. Thus, the incandescent lamp, the phonograph, and many other inventions appeared. This is the periodic table of chemical elements by D. Mendeleev, and the model of the atom by Niels Bohr. In a dream, Albert Einstein managed to establish a connection between space and time, and Mendel discovered the laws of heredity, Fleming discovered penicillin, and banker Heinrich Schliemann, after several prophetic dreams, became a famous archaeologist and discoverer of Troy on the island of Crete Mycenae.
We can talk about prophetic dreams for a very, very long time. But this will not change the essence - an amazing providence that cannot be explained from the point of view of logic, an altered state of consciousness - exists in reality, no matter how fantastic and incredible it may seem at first glance.
