I experienced free will and it was actually a shocker.

First the dream: I was done with my shift at the hotel (helping with breakfast after sleeping there), and jaywalked across the street to get to my bus stop one block over. Around the corner came a fast moving car and I was right in the middle of the street. Driver mad at me. I mad at the driver for driving too fast. Then I woke up at the hotel.

After I helped with breakfast, I started to jaywalk to my bus stop across the street one block over when I remembered my dream. I decided to walk back to the sidewalk, mainly because I was curious. It was early, there was no traffic and there hardly ever was any traffic so I would have jaywalked if not for the dream.

Low and behold, not just the same car as in my dream veered with some good speed around the corner, the same driver that had screamed at me in this dream sat behind the wheel, looking at me (almost as if he recognized me, too, but I think he saw that I recognized him). I could tell that he was ready to scream, pinned up with tension to get himself and his car through the city at this very early hour.

So, the confrontation that occurred in my dream did not happen. Here is how I explain it.

A/ I did not dream the future. The dream was based on what could have happened in the future, all energy was available, including my normally jaywalking across the street. But that is not what happened. The future was not dreamt.

B/ I did not use my free will to stay on the sidewalk. My free will was to jaywalk because I do like straight lines and going to where the destination is. There wasn't much traffic, so I used my free will in an additional and different manner to experiment because I had that dream. The second after I had walked off the sidewalk, that is when I remembered the dream. I had to walk back onto the sidewalk. My free will helped me make this decision because I was curious if the dream had any predictive qualities. On rare occasions have I done that before (with mixed results). I did not base my decision on anything or anyone other than my own curiosity, and I almost did not listen to my curiosity because I really like to walk in that straight line.

C/ My brain is the essential part in this story because it was able to read future energy (the street was of course the street so that was the easy part, but picking up the energy of the driver and the car is quite the trick because I had never seen that driver (the car was actually a favorite car of mine with fake wooden side panelling). I recognized him from my dream only (and can still draw him out because this was quite the shocker for me). My brain read that energy while I was asleep; obviously, I am not claiming an active role in picking up this energy.

Repetition is a common reality in our lives, but that does not mean everything is set in stone.

I used my free will to direct myself back onto the sidewalk, and avoided a nasty confrontation that way. My brain is a fantastic instrument. Not only was it capable of picking up a future scenario, but it forced me to play with my free will out in the open because my free will wanted both to walk in a straight line (jaywalk) and experiment with the information I had obtained. I made a choice about me, no one else did.
