Prophetic dreams are pretty much the best guess of what it would take to solve an issue, and we only remember the ones that worked out. With enough volume…
With enough volume…
You mean like over 8.2 billion people, having an average of about 4 dreams per night over 365 days?
People can misremember their dreams after an event happens, people can be subconsciously expecting an event to happen, and so dream about it, and coincidences also exist.
Also people are idiots, or at least easily influenced. If you ask someone “you dreamt such and such, right?” They’ll be more likely to agree with you than when you ask “What did you dream?”

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Hence why “prophetic dreams” were in quotes.
We do still have documented cases of people being spot on with no possible way of having the required information before hand. Which is not miraculous or supernatural in anyway, odds are it happens more often than people know because it isn’t verified or remembered by the dreamer.
What do you mean “documented and verified”? You mean someone dreamed about something that happened? Or someone consistently had dreams that could predict the future? The law of large numbers would suggest someone would eventually dream about something that ends up happening simply by coincidence. It would be a statistical anomaly if it never happened.
The case I am thinking of is the man who called the FBI with details of a plane crash that happened days later. The last half of your comment is why it isn’t astonishing.
Kinda like how Tesla famously had seen the designs for… I forgot what invention it was; the motor? The AC converter? But he saw them in a dream. But, like… He was already researching this stuff. It’s entirely possible his brain just finished the work he was already trying to accomplish while he slept. This is a common phenomena, too. Getting stuck on a problem, only to come to a solution after simply resting and not thinking about the problem for a bit.
I would assume it is all connected to the fact that your brain does the majority of processing while we sleep, hallucinates nonsense in the process, and then tries to pretend that isn’t what it did.
Right, but did the person have a prophetic vision, or was it simply a coincidental dream?
It is obviously a coincidence, hence why “Prophetic dreams” is in quotes. At no point have I claimed it wasn’t mere chance. Stop picking fights for no reason.
I’m not picking a fight, I asked you what you meant by documented and confirmed. A coincidence is not a documented or confirmed case of a prophetic dream, it’s a coincidence.
Like if you said that there was a documented and confirmed case of a human that can fly, and then pointed to that one lady who fell out of an airplane and survived, I would have the same objection.
You asked what a meant and I told you. I then agreed with you. You are trying to pick a fight so you didn’t get that. Stop doing that as none of this is that deep and you look like a fool.
You call those “prophetic dreams”. I call those “coincidences”.
That is why it is in quotes. Maybe try taking in the whole thought and think it over before dropping your mic because I call them coincidences as well.

If by wild you mean not true at all then yeah
Whatever you say.
You’re free to believe whatever nonsense you want, but saying that it’s verified in any scientifically meaningful way is a lie and nobody is obligated to pretend otherwise
There is no need to be so combative over a silly thought. Go elsewhere if this is how you are going to behave.

Do you still believe in Santa Claus as well?
Sure.
