In, I'd say, oh, 99% of cases, dreams are about the things that are
going on in our lives right here and right now, though the way they
can cut through the crap and show us things we really didn't want to
know we knew, sometimes does seem supernatural.
However, I am open to the idea that some dreams, though very rarely,
(and perhaps less rarely for some individuals) are indeed clairvoyant
or prophetic. I do believe this happens though I still maintain that
this is not the main purpose of Dream. As I say on my main dreaming
page, I believe anyway that 99% of prophecy is the exceedingly difficult
ability to know what is going on right now. If you can get that,
(and very few humans in history ever have) then
prophecy or clairvoyance are just simple lateral steps!
There are those who say we do, sometimes, dream of our past lives,
especially when doing so will help us understand something we are
trying to learn in our current lives. In fact, I do have a series of
recurring dreams that make me wonder if they are past-life dreams or
not. I am currently researching this area of self-discovery, and would
be very open to suggestions from others, especially if you have any
suggestions for related links to put on this page.
