People didn't know how weather worked so they thought god or spirits controlled the wind and made floods and earthquakes happen. People didn't know about the earth and how volcanoes worked so they blamed that on god. T

Just because he doesn't believe in an unprovable theory doesn't mean he's an idiot. I know thats the trendy thing to think, along with atheism and unprovable theoretical 'science.'

It does when it's supposed to be the preserved word of god which many believers think it is and use one scripture to back it up.

My point is that dreams coming true is a phenomenon that should be considered.

The point is that people still had a concept of a higher power regardless of their undestanding of nature.

Just for a bit of clarification...was it god that gave you the dream or did good provide the stimulus (chocolate, dairy) that allowed you to remember your dream?
Did you try to fulfil this prophecy by actively searching for this person in a location in which you knew he lived or hung about or had previous memories of the old friend in t a similar location?
Or did you have a vague dream and reconstruct it to mimic what you observed 2 days later?

Thats not what i said at all. How do you explain dreams that come true on many levels?

heres my story:
i used to LOVE debating religious people.
I used to watch hours of videos mocking religions on youtube and thinking "haw haw religious people are so dumb".
And then something happened that caused me to question my outlook on life.
its too easy to dismiss this as a mere coincidence so dont give me that explaination.
This got me thinking, maybe there is an unseen world that we access in dreams. clearly there is more to the world than just matter. religions speak of an intangible spirit world, and perhaps dreams are one aspect of it.

I would say your laptop was broken, it played on your mind how to resolve the issue. You associated this with trying to resolve the old friendship you had with this person...

I see thread like this every week. Everyone experiences strange stuff, only few attribute it to god and write a thread willing to change their whole life perspective cos of a dream. If I did that I wouldn't leave the house through fear of waterfalls and wolves chasing me. Not sure if the title is just click bait or he genuinely sees this a a form of proof of god (not sure how anyone can but that's just me)
