Viviane, someone just doesn't get it . Allow me to use an analogy to elucidate.
I bet horses and have for many years. Oftentimes I'd dream of a horse winning in the week and it did. Sometimes two of them in a row and it has happened.
Four years ago, on the night before the KD I had a dream about a horse rearing up in a forest of other animals. I didn't know any of the horses running in the Kentucky Derby. When I checked the entries the next morning, a horse named Animal Kingdom stood out. It won the KD.
The next year ,again the night before the derby, I dreamed of a man eating cookies -two or three of them one at a time. Just after this dream I had a second, of a scary looking woman appearing and putting one hand up as if she was done and the other to her lips as if she would say no more. Interestingly the first dream faded into the background of my memory as the second was the more powerful of the two and scarier. Two of the runners in that years KD were I'll Have Another and Done Talking. Needless to say I'll Have Another won and Done Talking is still running.
This is the first time I've related this to anyone. After the event! And a few years later! Would the gentleman, with the furrowed brow, call this prophesy?
Two weeks ago I had another dream about a great horse. California Chrome! This years KD winner. It's running in the Philly Derby sometime this month- next weekend I think.
The dream went like this. It was a big race. As the horse was going into the starting gate, CC stumbled and fell. Examination of its front left leg showed it had a bullet hole just above its hoof. The race was won by a black horse.
Now I am stating this days before the race. If it does occur that the horse is injured or sick ( I don't hope or wish it does) ,will my dream be a prophetic one? What if it happens in , not the race mentioned but the next one; or, one year from now?
The gentleman with the eyebrows that seem to run into each other with consternation or chagrin or both- I have given dates and time and corroboration ( a future historical reference) of this event , if it ever happens. If it does, it will become a prophesy. If the event doesn't occur ( And I hope it never does), this will be -like the GB's hundred years of - failed prophesy!!
What I've claimed ,about the other two, in paragraphs two and three, cannot be corroborated; hence cannot be a prophesy.
