Announcing Dreams

Ok, I admit that I had never heard of Announcing Dreams before I saw that episode of Ghost Whisperer.  However, I googled it and thought...wow what an interesting concept.  I suppose that the concept of an announcing dream is linked with reincarnation.  The idea is that unborn baby comes to the mother in a dream while she is pregnant or even before she is pregnant and announces that he/she has picked you as mom (possibly because you knew them in a past life and had a closeness).  I believe they can announce other things like their name or sex.  People who believe in reincarnation usually think that the sex can change from incarnation to incarnation.  If there is no reincarnation I suppose one could still have an Announcing Dream where the soul of the unborn child comes to the mom.  I think Announcing Dreams can also come to someone close to the mother about the mom's baby (like the husband or her mother).

I wonder, has anyone had an Announcing Dream?

When I had my daughter I had a strange dream right before I gave birth.  In my dream two little girls came to me and were in my house, walking on the stairs and then standing beside me whilst I was sleeping.  They woke me up and said, "We are here but only one of us can come now.  The other has to wait."  I gave birth to a girl.

I just realized I am pregnant again.  I had a dream just before taking the pregnancy test that a little boy wanted to come to me.  So....hahahaha only one could be correct unless I have a boy-girl twin experience which is unlikely.  I am dying to know the sex and don't know yet.  

In a way it makes me feel like the dreams are non-sense but then I'd love to think that Announcing dreams are true.  

Anyone else have an opinion/experience?

I have. Had one before I met my soul mate, and then we shared a dream shortly after meeting, before being pregnant was even a risk. My first ever dream I had twins - couldn't tell the genders, though. The second dream, the one my fiance and I shared, I dreamt of a boy that was "glowing", and a little girl. Got pregnant... it was a boy! And while he may not "glow", and I don't know why he was glowing in the dream, nor do I know why the girl was so tan(maybe she'll have a taste for intensive tanning? Goodness I hope not!). Since then I've dreamt of him, and two girls. So we'll see the next time I get pregnant what happens!
