For things such as mentioned in the thread title, what are your feelings on them? I find myself to be in an interesting place of thought regarding them, and am often conflicted, even in my own head space. Is what will be preordained, and regardless of how hard we struggle to avoid our fate is it going to happen? Or, when we come to know what the future holds through such ideas, do we end up subconsciously working towards that outcome even if we do not want it to take place?
Close to six years ago, I had an extremely vivid dream. In the dream, I saw myself standing in front of a tree, the base of it ringed with flowers, holding hands with a woman. We were in the process of getting married, the ceremony being overseen by a woman, and rings engraved with oak leaves were upon our fingers.
Now, at the time, I was married, and found myself thoroughly confused by the dream when I awoke. Usually, I do not remember much of my dreams, but this had been one of the few that I could recall exactly. Was it a past life? A prediction? Simply a product of having watched or read too much fantasy? After a while, I pushed it aside and seemed to have forgotten about it, for the most part. Fast forward to a year ago, I had gotten divorced, and was engaged to the woman who is now my wife. As it turned out, we got married in front of a tree in my parents' back yard (that my mom surrounded with all sorts of flowers), by a woman that I had known for over 20 years (she was a JP), and the rings we had gotten were circles of oak leaves.
So I started to think did what I dream come true because it was supposed to have, or did I make the decisions to ensure that things came out that way?
What are your thoughts on prophesy and the like?
