Question
I have a friend who has concerns about dreams she has had that recently have been coming true.  They aren't anything dramatic or large-scale, but are worrying her nonetheless.  Examples are meeting people she recognized from a dream she had a couple of years prior, knowing stories that are being told before the person has finished them because she dreamed about it, and simply other such random situations.  The most telling for me, and what brings me to writing here, is a dream she had last fall where a group of us who work together were traveling, but for some reason I wasn't there.  We agreed this was odd, because there would be no reason for me to be missing.  As of last month, I was forced home on medical leave, and within my first week at home she texted me telling me that dream had come to pass, down to the detail of who was sitting where in the vehicle and what they were discussing.

I can vouch for this girl's credibility: she isn't the kind of person who would be making things like this up, plus her fear and worry about the situation is genuine.  She is concerned as to the source of these dreams (from God for whatever reason or a spiritual attack), and doesn't know what to do with them.  We don't know if it is some kind of spiritual gift, or something else all together.  Any insight or direction you could provide at to how she should approach this would be greatly appreciated.

dear Jasmine-

      I would suggest telling her to talk to a priest about them and any her past that might be reason for concern about them, that you may not know of.
