      Hi hannahisawesome,

      When something important is about to happen (an exam, a sports match or a play performance) you will obviously dream about it the night before and you will dream about how you want it to go (because we all do!).

      If the event goes well, you will probably then alter without realising the content of the dream to match what actually happened. This is just a trick of your memory and you won’t have intended to do it.

      hey hannahisawesome,

      Dreams are usually about something you have seen or are subconsciously thinking about. So even if you don’t realize you are worried about something it can actually be working away in your subconscious and come out when you dream. As for things happening exactly as they did in the dream that’s never happened to me but i suppose its not completely unbelievable. The probability is pretty small but its definitely not 0.
