The hypothetical situation is so extreme that it is pretty much impossible to answer. Assuming that the soccer team looks an sounds exactly like you remember it in your dream, it's just so unlikely that that would ever happen. Maybe even impossible from a practical point of view. So I think the hypothetical is so farfetched that if that situation did comme up then it would supersede all of my previously held beliefs about this kind of thing and I really would have no way if knowing what to do until the moment arrived. I'm trying to think of a good analogy but one isn't coming to me.

wtf are you talking about? its not a hypotehtetical. i had a dream i was on a plane that went down. one of my memories from the dream is that i was surrounded by a girls soccer team and i was comforting one of the girls as it went down.

i have a flight a week later, and i tell my friend about the dream as he is driving me to the airport. in the terminal waiting for the plane a girls soccer team, of about the same age from the dream, is waiting for the same flight.

this forum is ridiculous. do you guys get off on making everything more complicated than need be?

Jeez, sorry man. I was focusing on the part of the original post that was using "you" language, and I forgot about the first sentence about it happening to his roommate.

Anyway, from my perspective it's still a hypothetical problem because I don't recall ever dreaming about something and then having it happen in real life the exact same way. However now that I have heard about this reverse construct thing, I would just take the flight anyway. I don't consider myself to have any special powers of seeing the future or anything like that.

And, FWIW, I haven't heard about any passenger planes crashing recently, and they usually make headlines on the news, so I'm assuming that the plane didn't crash afterall.
