History Main / PsychicDreamsForEveryone

* Starting in the pilot of ''Series/AmericanGothic1995'', and continuing on to about the twelfth episode, Gail Emory proves to possess some form of this ability, since she continually relives or witnesses the fire which claimed the lives of her parents, even though she wasn't actually there to see the tragedy the first time. Once Buck [[ManipulativeBastard has revealed to her the truth about how and why her parents died]] and she realizes they [[BrokenPedestal weren't as wonderful as she thought they were]], this ability seems to disappear... which [[EvilIsSexy considering the trouble]] [[VirginityMakesYouStupid she gets into later]], is rather unfortunate.

* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': In ''spades.''
** Somewhat justified, since it's possible that could be a demigod ability.
*** Confirmed in ''The Last Olympian''. All demigods have psychic dreams, and the more dangerous the situation is, the more such dreams they experience. Naturally, they hate this, as it just makes already stressful situations more stressful.
** Like the rest of the series, this is adapted from Greek Mythology.

* Bella has this constantly in ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Meyer attempts to HandWave it by saying that Bella is clever enough to make the various connections in her dreams without realizing it. Even when there are no connections to make, such as in her first dream about Edward sparkling. Although Jacob had told her about his people being werewolves (and so there's some justification for Jacob becoming a wolf in her subsequent dream), Edward has not sparkled at that point of the book and there's no reason for Bella to dream that he can, except maybe due to his extremely-pale skin.

* In 'Fanfic/ImaginarySeas'', Percy has a dream of Olga Marie on the day of her death, seeing everything up the point that the control room was bombed and listening to all of her thoughts. He then sees the Priestess of the Alien God before the dream ends. This is also why Percy is able to recognize Wodime on sight, though he doesn't know that Wodime is now one of the Crypters who began the Lostbelt crisis.

** The episode "Restless" shows the dreams of the main cast, as they face their fears and their dreams run into one another.

* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'': In Chapter 30, Hay Lin has a recurring dream about several bizarre figures (representing a few of the villainous members of the story's GambitPileUp) fighting over the right to feast on a beautiful woman's body (representing Meridian). [[spoiler: The dream stops recurring when the [[UltimateEvil Master]] of the [[EldritchAbomination Cavalcade of Horrors]] steps in and [[DreamWeaver forces it to stop]] before she can view anything that threatens the Master's plans.]]

* Literally every dream in ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' as they're visions of what your AlternateSelf in another universe is doing.

* Amy Haller on ''Series/{{Legion}}'' relates a dream to her husband where she describes herself in the same way as members of Vermillion, the semi-organic AI of Division 3, despite the fact that she's never been in Division 3 and hasn't spoken to her brother since he's been there. [[spoiler: She says all this just before the Shadow King murders her.]]

* ''Film/TheTimeMachine2002'': Literally. Though, as it turns out, it's a side effect of the aforementioned psychic filter.

* ''Franchise/TheFlash'': In an issue of ''Impulse'', Bart Allen has a series of increasingly bizarre dreams including one where he's visited by warped versions of ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes members Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Brainiac 5, Apparition and Spark, based on his own... unique... interpretation of his cousin XS's description of them. Two issues later he does indeed meet precisely those Legionnaires.
* ''Franchise/TheDCU'' has ''ComicBook/TheSandman'''s Lord of Dreams to justify this sort of thing; any dream prophecies come from ''his'' power, not the dreamer's.

* The ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' story "Tintin in Tibet" is kicked off by Tintin having a dream about his friend Chang (from "The Blue Lotus") being stranded in the Himalayas, which later comes true.

* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'': Well, for any guy who's around age 30 [[spoiler:and is a patron of the Stray Sheep, and is entangled with a woman with whom he has no intention of having children]]. Later scenes imply that the BigBad might [[spoiler:eventually spread said dreams to ''everyone'' assigned male at birth who wasn't busy fathering a family by a certain age. Given how even ''Erica'' started getting these dreams, that presumably applies to trans women, gay men, asexual men, and [[CelibateHero anyone else with the equipment for it who didn't, for whatever reason, choose to impregnate a woman and start a family]]]].

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind''

* In an episode of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', Hal's dream about winning the jackpot in a slot machine in Vegas turns out to be true. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the "jackpot" turns out to be part of a timeshare scam, and to make matters worse, he got the money for the Vegas trip by cashing in on his life insurance.]]

** The episode "Restless"

* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'': Well, any guy who's around age 30 [[spoiler:and is a patron of the Stray Sheep, and is entangled with a woman with whom he has no intention of having children]]. Later scenes imply that the BigBad might [[spoiler:eventually spread said dreams to ''everyone'' assigned male at birth who wasn't busy fathering a family by a certain age. Given how even ''Erica'' started getting these dreams, that presumably applies to [[UsefulNotes/{{Homosexual}} gay men]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} trans women]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} asexual men]], and [[ConfirmedBachelor any other guy who didn't, for whatever reason, choose to impregnate a woman and start a family]]]].

* In ''Film/FieldOfDreams'', most people remember that it's Ray Kinsella who has visitations and dreams from a ghostly Voice saying "If you build it, he will come." But Ray is not the only one visited--his wife Annie also receives psychic dreams (it's upon realizing that they shared a dream that the two realize that Ray needs to travel to Boston), and later, their daughter Karen reveals that she too has been hearing prophecies, as she accurately predicts how the baseball field Ray built will summon others in need ("Daddy, people will come!"). The final shot of the film shows a truly massive line of cars lining the highway on the way to the Kinsella's farm, suggesting that hundreds of people have been hearing the Voice calling to them.

* ''Franchise/TheFlash'': In an issue of ''Impulse'', Bart Allen has a series of increasingly bizarre dreams including one where he's visited by warped versions of ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}} members Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Brainiac 5, Apparition and Spark, based on his own... unique... interpretation of his cousin XS's description of them.
