future. Could his predictions be real? Sorry for the dramatically-worded question, but this is something I really want to ask. I just woke up about a half an hour ago from a very strange, realistic dream. I was in my house with my sister and my friend. I noticed a group of people through my window; they were a short distance from my house, in my side yard. On closer inspection, I saw that some were definitely corporeal, but some had a weird red glow, and some were transparent and ghostlike. I didn't pay very close attention to most of this crowd, so I don't know if I recognized any of them. I came outside; my friend and sister followed. There was one ghost that was near us. I remember that he was heavyset with dark hair, a large nose, and a faded blue NASCAR t-shirt. I don't think I've ever seen him in my life before. He greeted us and he suddenly was at the top of a random white staircase that appeared in our backyard. We climbed it, and he started telling things about our future. The first thing he told us was a sort of riddle; it was about my sister, and he said something about half her name. She didn't understand but after a while, I said, "Oh! I get it! She'll fall in love with someone named Ian!" (Her name is Gillian.) He confirmed this, and suddenly I got nervous and ran down the staircase, trying to leave the ghost's presence. He said knew why I was apprehensive, it was because I knew what was coming next and I didn't want my friend to hear it. He was right, because he told me in detail about how my (romantic) relationship with this friend would start, and that we'd try to keep it a secret but she would let the secret out and we'd have a really hard time (we're both girls.) Now, I've been in love with this friend for a while, but I'm way too nervous to say anything to her. I sometimes get the feeling that she feels this way too, but I just don't know, and I've been dying for certainty about this relationship. This dream felt so real that when I woke up I asked my sister if she knew anyone named Ian. (She said she knew many Ians.) I just really feel like a dream about a prophetic ghost could hold some truth. Has this ever happened before? Is this even a possibility? Or am I just being hopeful?
Sorry for the length.
