Has a dream steered you in the wrong direction?

[Neil Templar]

my problem is i don't know it's precognitive (most of the time) until that very moment, like yesterday.
i'm sure there must be plenty of times when you're distracted by something that's going on, and miss that moment where guidance reminds you of the dream, and the opportunity to take advantage of it.

In a dream about 20 years ago a very distinct voice told me to "Buy Lotto." Every so often I wonder what would have happened if I had.

A few years before that I dreamt I won a charity quest. The next day in a shopping mall I was approached to enter a charity quest. I actually put my name down as an expression of interest because of the dream but then didn't follow through because I just wasn't inclined. I'd been groomed about 6 years earlier (I was about 14) to enter such a quest by my theatre group because it wanted to raise its profile. Even then I felt it wasn't something I wanted to do, despite enjoying raising money for charity by collecting door to door. By then I was no longer in the drama group.

Then, about a decade later, my younger cousin (who the family would nickname "little Donna" when we were together, despite her being at least 6 inches taller than me ) won a charity quest. It made me wonder if some dharma could be fulfilled within families. I don't at all wonder about if I would have succeeded as a charity princess. It just wasn't me.

Yes, exactly. I've had lots and lots of dreams that later proved to be completely true (if symbolic), but until the event or situation happens, it's hard to even guess which ones are going to be precog and which ones are just "guidance/message" type dreams.

I had a dream I was holding a lottery tix and was looking at it to check the numbers and I won! The numbers were 1111. So I played them the next day and guess what?

I lost

It's funny you mention 1111... perhaps I'm grasping here, but do a google search for "11:11 2012".

1111 could be a rebus for "Won, won, won, won!" It may have been a comment on an aspect/aspects of your life at the time.

yeah but past-tense I wasn't counting on! lol

Well knowing you didn't win is really reassuring because I didn't even buy a ticket! Glad I didn't bother.

We often share our precognitive dreams on these forums and we seem to assume that dreams cannot be wrong. When the prediction fails, we possibly blame our interpretations.

I'm curious to know, have you had an experience where the dream's prediction was just incorrect? If so, were your subsequent actions based on your perception of how things would go only to find that you'd been misled?

about a month I had a dream that told more or less told me to work as a veterinary receptionist. the next day I was super excited when I found an opening!

well, I wasn't hired I'm the ever-optimist though and hoping my dream prediction wasn't just a dream, and that it will eventually, and hopefully very soon come true

otherwise in all honesty, that was my first pseudo precognitive dream, so I don't have much else to say
