People Reveal the Strangest Things That Ever Happened to Them

#55: Predicting the Future

As a child, one boy had a vivid dream that his younger brother broke his arm trying to rescue their mom from quicksand. It was dramatic, surreal, and didn’t make much sense at the time. But the next day, his brother actually did break his arm—just not in quicksand. It was the kind of coincidence that makes your skin crawl.

The timing was uncanny. Sure, kids get injured. But dreaming such a specific injury, only to see it happen within hours, was unsettling. He was only ten when it happened, and it hasn’t occurred since, but that moment stuck with him. Was it intuition, a psychic flash, or pure coincidence? Whatever it was, it left him with a story that even the most skeptical listeners can’t easily dismiss.
