When was the last time you had a crazy dream? Was it a nightmare, a fairytale, or did you happen to tell the future?

Premonition dreams, or dreams that seem to predict the future, are more common than you may think. Anywhere from 18 to 63 percent of people report experiencing a premonition dream.

But how can you find out what yours mean? If you’re looking to better understand what your premonition dreams mean, this article can help.

What Is a Premonition Dream?

Simply put, premonition dreams are dreams that are later proven to come true. 

For example, you may dream about a long-lost family member or friend. The following day, you may receive a phone call from this exact person. Or you may dream about a newsworthy event, only to see it on television shortly after. 

These kinds of dreams are common occurrences. Many famous figures have also had premonition dreams that predict the outcome of their future. 

One of the most famous premonition dreams involves Abraham Lincoln himself. Lincoln had a dream that showed him lying dead in the White House two weeks before his real assassination. Another Hollywood starlet that may have predicted her death through premonition dreams is Sharon Tate.

While these dreams seem scary, it’s important to remember that premonitions may not always predict tragedy. Your dreams may be trying to communicate other important messages to you.

Premonition Dream Types

As advanced as today’s technology is, the science of dreams is not yet mastered. A premonition dream often won’t have a one-size-fits-all meaning.

One type of premonition dream may present itself in the form of a warning. This may allow you to alter the outcome of a specific event. If you have one of these dreams, don’t panic. Your gut feeling may be trying to help you.

Another common type of premonition dream may involve a message from the deceased. This may allow you to find closure with a passed loved one or make necessary decisions in your life.

Although many people experience premonition dreams, your specific meaning will be unique to you. Have you been trying to decide on which career path to take, which city to move to, or how to handle a relationship?

You may find the answers in the dream world.

What to Do After a Premonition Dream

If you find yourself having premonition dreams, you may feel overwhelmed and confused. Be sure to take a deep breath and document your experience.

You may choose to write your dream down in a journal in the morning or record a voice note as soon as you awake. This can help you remember your dreams and better determine their purpose. 

For those with high intuition levels or extremely vivid dreams, you may also consider getting a free psychic reading. Your psychic can help you determine why you’re having these specific dreams and if you may have future-telling abilities. 

Another step to take after having a premonition dream is to talk to your loved ones. Friends and family may have insight into why you’re feeling the way you are.
