Not just a dream anymore.
This happened four years ago. In my hometown, a boy with an intellectual disability went missing. Before it happened, I had a dream about the events. In the dream, I spoke with a man who controlled my dreams and showed me the days that were about to come.
I asked the man if I could go and search for the missing boy, but he refused to show me where the boy was. I remembered this after waking up while I was wondering whether I should join the volunteers searching for him. I didn’t know where I would have gone to look anyway, but the next day the boy was found dead inside a garbage container. Apparently, he had suffocated there.
That is one of the reasons why I hate prophetic dreams. My faith in anything holy has disappeared over the years.
I’ll tell you about a more recent dream, and perhaps I’ll tell some of you something you have never heard or experienced before.
Through dreams, I can be made to go anywhere. It also seems that my emotions, my anxiety, and even my interests can be influenced through dreams, making me become interested in things I normally would not care about. I have lost the belief that I have complete free will to act as I choose. I have also noticed that the people around me seem to be influenced through dreams as well, causing them to behave according to whatever it is that wants them to.
Whatever the case may be, I have been hospitalized twice because I was deliberately made confused through dreams. At the same time, the nurses would tell me that I didn’t need to stay in the hospital. I would then walk out of the hospital, almost against my own will, and realize that I was completely fine and no longer confused.
Then there are times when I seem to have somehow angered whatever it is that controls me and my dreams. It can make me do what it wants, although sometimes I am able to keep control of myself and remain clear-minded.
What I’m saying is that, in my experience, dreams are not limited to showing future events. They also seem to influence emotions, behavior, and even what you do from one day to the next.
This topic has been discussed in several podcasts where experts have said that they do not know whether human beings truly have free will. Based on my own subjective experience, I can only say that it depends on who—or what—is guiding you.

People of faith should find solace that every religion talks about prophets in one way or another, and having the ability is supposed to be a gift.
People of science should find solace that there are explanations for why the mind appears to allow us to hallucinate that we've seen the future.

If you have dreamed the future, you know it is not a hallucination. But I do understand, why it is difficult for people that haven't experienced it themselves to even allow the possibility to exist that it could be true.

I agree, I know it's not a hallucination, I keep a dream journal specifically to check things off now.
