Twain saw the scene exactly as he had seen it in his dream. But a friend had paid for Twain’s brother to be buried in style - in a metal coffin. A few weeks after his dream, his brother was killed.īack then, the standard was to be buried in a wooden coffin. The American writer Mark Twain dreamed about his brother’s body lying in a metal coffin in his sister’s house. If that’s not compelling evidence of precognitive dreams, I don’t know what is! Mark Twain The day on which the ship sank, Daly told his friend they were going to sink that very night. Every single night while aboard, he had the same scary dream. He boarded the Titanic in Queenstown, and almost immediately mentioned to a friend that he’d dreamed of the ship going down. Fruenthal survived the sinking, and his dream story has become a well-known instance of precognitive dreaming.ĭaly had a slightly different experience. He had the same dream after boarding the Titanic.
Fruenthal had a dream before boarding that the ship he was on crashed into something and sank. Isaac Fruenthal and Eugene Daily were both passengers on the Titanic. Stories about Titanic premonitions are unusually common! Two stand out as being precognitive dreams, though. Lincoln had survived an assassination attempt just the previous year, so he may have had fears that manifested themselves in his dreams. Researchers have suggested that this may not have been a real predictive dream. Just a few days later, his dream did come true - Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed. Upon asking a guard who had died, he was told “The President was killed by an assassin.” He had been walking through the White House and came upon a coffin being heavily guarded. But there are some very well-known cases of precognitive dreams that are just too startling to ignore! Abraham Lincolnīack in the 1860s, Abe awoke from a terrifying dream. Over the millennia, despite numerous cases, precognition has been brushed aside and not really researched or spoken about much. He comes at the subject with a much more questioning eye, eventually concluding that they are certainly possible but that much dream matter could simply be a coincidence. One of the oldest works of literature talks about precognitive dreams - the “ Epic of Gilgamesh”, a piece of Sumerian poetry from about 2150 BC, which mentions premonitions twice.Ī little later, in 350 BC, the famed Greek philosopher Aristotle published an interesting paper, called “On Prophesying by Dreams”. Precognitive dreams aren’t exactly a modern idea, either. But the latest science on these kinds of dreams shows that there’s some real merit to them. Even reading this, you might wonder if we’re going a little off the beaten track here, or getting kind of new-agey. Most people are quick to dismiss the idea of premonition-type dreams. That might sound like the stuff of… Well, dreams. Another word for them may be psychic dreams. Precognitive dreams are a type of dream that happens in waking life, some time after the dream you had. Let’s unpack these future-telling dreams and see what they’re all about! What Are Precognitive Dreams? Whatever name you know them by, they're fascinating occurrences that have some basis in science.
Precognitive dreams appear to contain information about the future. Have you ever had an experience where you dreamed about something and a while later it came true? It may seem like a coincidence but it’s actually a documented phenomenon, and it’s gaining interest in the scientific field.
