Premonitory dream

A premonitory dream is a Rêve which seems not to be of nature symbolic system and to be a representation of a situation, of an external event present or future whose dreamer was not aware at the time to fall asleep. Certain people say to have communicated with deaths during these dreams, but they often acts of memories hidden in the memory. People dream sometimes of the things which should arrive in the future, and some of them appear true or partially true.

Its recognition and its interpretation are sometimes very difficult. C.G. Jung brings back the case of a king who wished to go to invade the adjoining country but did not know if it would reach that point. It had a dream where it saw an invaded country and thought that it was a dream announcing the success of its company. It started to penetrate in the enemy territory, and the enemy benefitted from it to invade his own country. The dream announced well the invasion of a country, but not that desired subjectively.
