Two nights ago I dreamt that I was in front of a bunch of trees in Idaho surrounded by a linked fence wearing a long sleeve white shirt, a red puffy vest, and skinny jeans. I was planning on visiting my cousin that weekend in Idaho, so I figured I would pack that outfit just for the sake of it. I wore the outfit on Saturday and was really excited when we talked about going to an orchard and picking apples fresh from the trees. I had completely forgotten about the dream until the next day and realized that the entry to the orchard is what I had dreamt two nights previous. However, in the dream I was talking to two men, that didn't happen in real life.
My roommate and I have also been having a ton of deja vous. In fact, the other day I needed to go up to the institute to print some reports. As I was thinking about going up there that evening I pictured my friend, Brad, sitting in the bishop's nook, even though I knew it was Ben's night to be there as the executive secretary for meetings. When I went up there, Brad was there filling in for Ben. Then as I was chatting with him I couldn't tell if we had had that conversation before about him serving his mission in Vera Cruz, Mexico, or if I just was having deja vous. I'm pretty sure we had this conversation before, but he didn't say anything like, "Don't you remember me telling you this?"
Regardless, I believe there's a lot to be said about dreams and deja vous. Whether it's our spirits saying, "Hey, you're on the right track, you've been here before". Or if it's our subconscious minds that are constantly picking up so much more than we normally comprehend and every now and then it manifests in a way that our conscious minds can comprehend.
Yet, even though I can rationalize away these feelings and say that they are imaginations of an overactive mind, I can't deny that there is a sense of destiny in the air. I believe that big things are going to happen, and soon. Good things.
