And here I thought this only happened to me. I have sometimes dreams of very specific conversations with someone else, and then days or weeks later it happens. I'm sure its just an interesting psychological phenomenon, but still.


i've had similar experiences before as well.


How would a psychological phenomenon work in this case? Do you mean that you unconsciously act out the dream in real life?


Yes, that is one possibility. Another is that the dream and actual events do not match as closely as you believe. Your memory of the dream is rewritten, after the fact, to more closely match what actually happens.
