I’ve posted this before but...

My family go to a garden centre near my town every winter (pretty Christmas lights). Well this one year, the day before we were supposed to go I had a dream that on our way, the tyre of the car came off and we crashed hard. It was such a horrible, graphic dream, my mum’s legs had been crushed, my dad stuck etc. Well I told my mum in the morning and she joked that she’d check the wheels. She actually must have (she said the car had felt weird and the dream unnerved her). Lo and behold, the tyre is loose and needs to be taken to a mechanic. Really weird experience, especially as I’ve never had a dream feel so real before.

Hey something similar happened to me but my mum didn’t listen and was in a serious crash. Those dreams don’t just feel super real when they happen but you carry that feeling with you all day too. I remember begging my mum not to drive to the beach that day and instead of asking me how I knew thats where she was going, she told me to enjoy my day at school. When my grandmother walked into my classroom to collect me I burst into tears instantly and all that dread id carried all day just came out. I ran over and asked if mum and my sisters were ok. Her and my teacher exchanged weird looks and I was taken home. Thankfully my family somehow made it out unscathed despite having a telegraph pole land dead centre on the car. Unfortunately a pedestrian was hit when the car spun but he survived, albiet with a concussion and terrible leg injuries

Did your mom say anything about your dream after the crash?

[–]ChillyAus 56 points57 points  (1 child)

Yeah she asked me about it and I told her all the details and basically recounted the crash they were in without having been there or heard anything more than “they were in a serious car crash”. As to be expected nobody wanted to give scary details to a 6/7 year old so there’s no way Id heard.

[–]supmraj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a legitimate warning dream.... wonder if you've had any more... good on your mum for checking the tire.

[–]1234swkisgar56 69 points70 points  (13 children)

Well I just had a dream that I was getting shot at and even felt a bullet graze my clothing. So either I'm going to get shot today or I've been playing too much red dead redemption

[–]atticus_lawless 25 points26 points  (4 children)

Don’t worry, Dutch has a plan.

[–]SixGun_Surge 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Yeah, have some God damn faith!

(.....he insists....)


But that’s the problem...

[–]timbenmurr 2 points3 points  (5 children)

I once had a dream where I was standing in this pitch black abyss. There was no up, no down, no side to side... just blackness. I look up and my little brother is in front of me illuminated. He extends his arm and is holding the shiniest 38 special I’ve ever seen. Without a word he fires the gun at my head. I suddenly awoke and could feel the warm blood surrounding my head. As I came to, there was obviously nothing there. Scariest dream ever.

[–]malbane 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I hate those kind of dreams. I have one reoccurring dream where I'm kidnapped from a holiday party and skinned alive in a high school chemistry classroom by some man with a strangely round head.

[–]inb4deth 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Wtf how do you fare at holiday parties?

[–]malbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine! By the time night rolls around u usually forget that dream, and I don't remember how that dream starts so I can't be certain any party is the beginning of it.

[–]Bromlife 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I do not understand why someone downvoted you.

How's your relationship with your brother? Do you actually fear he would shoot you?

[–]timbenmurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My relationship is great with him.. yeah I noticed the downvote... very strange. But no my brother is the type that would offer to pay for someone’s motel room after they mugged him lol. Awesome dude, doesn’t get mad, a little snobby but we love him for it.

[–]SilentSchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have really vivid dreams when I was playing Silent Hill and Bloodborne. Thankfully none of those have ever come true.......yet.

[–]Amiracle56 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha this is a funny comment

[–]olliegw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If i ever had a dream like this, i will make it fair and square to either check the car, use a different one, or not drive at all.

I don't care about MPG if i have a dream about a car that does 50 MPG crashing, it's straight to the 14 MPG.

[–]marauding-bagel 116 points117 points  (12 children)

This happens to my grandmother every time someone in our family dies. I never believed it until my senior year of high school when she came in the kitchen one morning and told about she dreamed my cousin* had a stroke and was hospitalized and had more stokes until he ended up in a coma and later dying. I brushed it off. Two weeks later he was hospitalized. Within a a few more he was dead. Exactly as she described it happening.

*He was the son of my great aunt, so cousin once removed? Idk he was quite a bit older as my grandmother is about 15 years younger than her sister. Still creepy that it happened *just* like her dream.

[–]lzrae 106 points107 points  (5 children)

I believe in science, and I think there is some kind of ability people have. I don’t take it lightly either. One time a friend described a dream his mother had about us. She had these premonitions before that came true. I had apparently died in her dream while I was wearing red pants. To this day I refuse to buy any pants that may be construed as red.

Shit. My pajama pants are red...

[–]nickles80 66 points67 points  (0 children)

You will be missed.

[–]quantumlizard 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Nah, red pants are fine. Red shirts, on the other hand...

[–]Suriaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tom Scott would like to have a word with you.

[–]tzjmetron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better plug that butthole.

[–]BoredDaylight 7 points8 points  (2 children)

I think most people are highly intuitive and have gut feelings that are routinely repressed about what's going on around them (about family members health or ops moms car, for example). Dogs can sense seizures and stuff like that, so maybe people can too. Some of these repressed intuitions and gut feelings might later be expressed in dreams.

It'd be hard to actually test this kind of theory in any rigorous and experimental way, though, which is unfortunate.

[–]marauding-bagel 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I mean, he lived 1,000 miles away from us and my grandmother hadn't spoken to him in decades. I think there's a rational explanation but that one doesn't fit this scenario.

[–]Bromlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps the family had spoken in general. I doubt she was entirely oblivious to his health issues.

[–]Spacealienqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death is such intwined part of life that I believe that certain people do have the ability sense when the reaper is coming to collect.

[–]deredereattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only had one person close to me die and it was my grandmother a few years ago. She had lung cancer but had half her lung removed and was clear for years. She suddenly started having horrible pain, it was so bad she couldn’t lie still to get an MRI. One night my grandpa woke up to her unable to breath so the ambulance came and took her in. They finally sedated her enough to get an MRI. My mom called me to let me know. The night before this I had a horrible dream that they did scans on her and she had cancer all over her bones and stuff. When my mom called I said “the cancer came back didn’t it?” It had, it was spread into her bones and organs. She died 2 days later.

[–]OraDr8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum does the same thing but with babies, she dreamt about every grandchild a couple of months before anyone knew they were even pregnant, which kind of implies she has the dream about the time of conception, none of us know how we feel about that.

[–]RJrules64 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing you also noticed the car felt weird subconsciously and that lead to your dream

[–]kronos2359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's soooooooo raven

[–]ShinyDisc0Balls 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Serious question: How does a tire come loose?

[–]ohrightohboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no idea, idk cars and it was a while ago now so I might be wrong in that it came loose?? But there was definitely smth wrong with the tyre!!


By not being tightened enough, usually.

[–]ShinyDisc0Balls -1 points0 points  (2 children)

How exactly does one "tighten" a tire?

[–]neon121 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When people say "tire" they are generally referring to the whole wheel.

[–]ShinyDisc0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Like when I say "tits" I mean "my wife"

[–]havron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, this is like how every Final Destination movie begins. Has death been stalking you since? Watch out.

[–]froggie-style-meme 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Your subconscious probably picked up on it and told you via your dream.


I don't know why this is being downvoted. You don't have to be a mechanic to subconsciously pick up on your vehicle wobbling or leaning slightly or making an unusual noise. This is 100x more likely than OP being a prophet.

[–]ohgodthezombies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mom mentioned how there car felt weird right? Your brain's subconscious noticed the same thing, and I suppose it came out as a dream.

[–]GGSHAKUR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A final destination dream!

[–]Sanitraitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In death there are no accidents, no coincidences, no mishaps, and no escapes -Final Destination

[–]j-jsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's some Final Destination shit right there


Someone was looking out for you. Not the matrix.

[–]numberninemac 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Couldn’t you have tightened it yourselves? Or was there some special circumstance that made it difficult to do so?

[–]halcyonights 0 points1 point  (2 children)

They have to be torqued to vehicle specifications. Yeah, you can just tighten them, but that's not really what you're supposed to do. You can do it at home if you have the right tool and an air compressor but most people don't, or they don't know you're not supposed to tighten them however you want.

[–]neon121 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Not many mechanics actually tighten to spec in my experience. They just jam it on there tight with an impact and call it good.

More likely to be done right with an independent. Dealerships on flat rate pay want to get cars out ASAP so they don't bother to get the torque wrench out.

[–]halcyonights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, and that's why I've made an effort to learn how to do simple stuff like that at home the way it's supposed to be done
