What were the events that you dreamed?
The dumbest one that absolutely convinced me it was precog, was:
I was in line at the bank behind 3 women. They had a scale, one of those big Toledo No Springs ones. I stepped on the scale, but the dial went backwards. I turned around and saw this girl Joann, who I hadn't seen since middle school.
I wrote all this down in the dream journal, and then didn't think about it.
Couple weeks later, I'm at that bank. 3 women ahead of me in line. I get on the scale, but it says I weigh 30lb, it's broken. I turn around and who do the see? Joann, that girl I had not seen since middle school.
What the fuck? It kinda pissed me off because I really don't want to think the future is set to that extent. Like, seeing some big event that might echo back in time, sure. But a broken scale at some bank? Joann? I haven seen her since, either, we were not close, why would I dream her true?
Very interesting. I've never had anything paranormal happen to me but I like to believe in it and it's always fun hearing accounts like these. I imagine it is a bit stressful having nightmares haha.
I would write them somewhere more public (like a blog) or with witnesses. If something that could never ever be a coincidence and becomes public knowledge happens (like a major disaster), people will doubt you wrote about it before hand. I'm sure proving yourself isn't something you really care about, but every event that becomes accepted helps others come forward and removes some of the stigma imo.
I've read this a few times, and I can't figure out what you're referring to with a "scale" at the bank. What does that mean?
They had a big analog scale you could stand on, and a dial would go around the markings like a clock- there are still some of these same scales at grocery stores here. People use them to weigh themselves, or I see people weighing luggage on them. In the dream the dial went backwards but IRL it was just wrong, very wrong.
Google "Toledo No Springs Scale" and you will see them.
Right, but why is there a scale at a bank? I've been to many banks, and there's been a scale for weighing humans at zero of them. That's why I'm confused here. I know what a scale is.
