You have a dream...

This happened last week to my roommate.

You have a dream where you die in a plane crash and the most specific thing you remember about the dream is that there was a girls soccer team on the plane as it went down. You have a flight to catch that day, and describe your dream to the person dropping you off at the airport. When you get to your gate there is a girls soccer team waiting for the same flight as you. Who gets on that plane?

In this age, I think there's a good chance that if you told someone you dreamt about the plane crashing, and then that person found out that at least some of the details were true, security would make sure you don't get on the plane.

Yeah if you dream the planes going to crash and it does then you're probably the one who blew it up.

Not sure where the girls come in unless there are 70 of them.

The main reason I said no was because if you KNEW it was a girls soccer team in your dreams (which is highly unlikely), and it was, then I'd really have to think long and hard.

Girls soccer teams flying somewhere as a team is not at all common in my area, if at all, so the odds of them actually being on the plane w/ me are so ridiculously low that I'm almost more likely to believe from a mathematical standpoint that I had a premonition [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

ive had plenty of dreams about hooking up with supermodels or even girls i know and have a crush on. i never get with them in real life so why would i take this stupid dream seriously?

if they had the same uniforms/clothes on as in your dream, it might make a difference about my decision

as it stands i don't think i'd get on the plane

one time in 2nd grade i had a very vivid dream about how to solve this one puzzle we were all working on for days in my class....i went to class the next day and put it together in less then a minute.

not the same thing of course, but...

If your friend didn't tell anyone about the dream or recall it until he got there and saw the soccer team, it's probably just a case of dejavu, a short-circuit in the brain basically -- get on the plane.

If he told you before hand then got there and the soccer team was there, that's a different story and I can wait 3 hours until the next flight.

Only if the pilot and co-pilot are both female.

The paradox doesn't resolve otherwise.

Isnt the universe supernatural? I don't know, but it is infinite.....

Didn't know natural things were infinite. If anything we know that natural things die.....

Your arguments are flawless and compelling and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

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.
