Prophetic Dreams

-

I have been known to have prophetic dreams before. That is, I'll dream about something happening, and then it will happen in real life. Maybe not in exactly the same way as it did in the dream, but still with enough similarity.

The first instance of this I remember was back in primary school. There was this period of time where on a certain day every other week, my class would have a different teacher in the morning, and our lessons would overrun into break time (I don't remember the exact reason why, I think because one of them was PE), so we'd end up having our break time at a different time to the other classes to make up for it. There was another class that would go through this on a different week to us. The first time it happened, I got really stressed about it until I was assured we'd still get our full break time, but I still didn't like the change in routine.

Anyway, at one point, it was the week where the other class was meant to be going through this. But the night before the day where it was meant to happen, I had a dream where it was my class again.

Guess what happened the next day.

I don't remember the exact reason why, but I think it was because either mine or the other class' teacher was off sick or something so the weeks were swapped.

Other prophetic dreams I've had have included watching a superhero cartoon show where a character was injured and lost consciousness (which really excites me in stories for some reason if we get to see them wake up elsewhere after), my cousin's baby being another boy after her previous ones were also boys, and which of the announced celebrities my favourite Strictly Come Dancing pro would be partnered with in last year's series (at least before an injury meant she had to be replaced with someone I'd never heard of before).

And now I've found out that a dream I had a while ago that I assumed had not been prophetic actually was.

The more reasonable explanation is that these were anxiety dreams. But I like to think I have a bit of an ability to dream of the future, and to predict the future when it's usually just coincidences.

Uncertainty

-
People are panicking right now over these supposed reports about the producers at Strictly Come Dancing actually being ruthless for the first time in years and dropping certain professional dancers. I wasn't too worried about my fave at first, but now it seems uncertain as to whether he will survive the cull or not. On the one hand, the pro lineup had gotten too big because many of them didn't want to leave on their own accord, and it's good if they're trying to reduce the number of pros on the bench (which would probably go back to 0 is not for having to take same sex partnerships into account). But on the other, quite a few of the ones who have supposedly been axed or given a lesser role are those who people thought haven't had much of a chance to shine, and because of that they haven't connected well with viewers, which is more likely to get them dropped. Anyway, I hope this all gets cleared up soon, and it turns out my fave is safe. I started watching the la...

Nothing Interesting On

Something my Dad is bothered about is how there aren't many interesting TV shows on most evenings at the moment, or new episodes of shows released on streaming services. Monday has the Quiz shows, but one of the three they usually have on has finished, while the other two are close to finishing, and then we'll have to go a few months without those before they start up again. And then there's not much on the other days either. I've not got many shows to be invested in at the moment, and I have other ways I can entertain myself, so it never really bothered me when there was nothing interesting on. I don't know what my Dad could do to be less bored in the evenings.

A Small Wet Adventure

Not that kind of wet!!! Can't I use certain words without them being interpreted in an inappropriate way?  Anyway, today I went out to a park because I wanted to go somewhere with some uphill areas that wasn't the local woods, and it was raining a lot. I thought I'd be fine because my coat has a hood, but it clearly wasn't enough and the coat that was supposed to be waterproof got soaked. So I wanted to go along a different path, one of those shortcut paths, so that I'd be slightly more sheltered from the rain. I say slightly because at this time of year the trees have no leaves on them so they don't shelter you as much from the rain as they do in summer. So I spent ages walking around the trees while trying not to slip, and ended up finding myself at some dead ends. I didn't want to go all the way back the way I came, though, so I kept looking for other paths that could help me get back onto the main path, while I wasn't getting any dryer. At least I go...
