prophetic dream
Sleep-borne future glimpse
A prophetic dream is one that seems to predict future events.
The dreamer experiences something that later appears to come true: She had a prophetic dream about the accident three days before it happened.
Whether such dreams reflect genuine foresight or selective memory—remembering hits, forgetting misses—remains disputed.
Also called a precognitive dream.
