Line 37:
* ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' has this in spades, at least in the third book. In fact, the dreams are so abundant and proven true that there's really no suspense when you already know what's going to happen because you're beaten over the head with it 400 pages before it happens.
* ''Under the Dome'' also has this trope, with all of the children in Chester's Mill having precognitive dreams/seizures, and anyone who {{spoiler|goes through the radiation belt surrounding the dome's generator}} having similar visions. Apparently, Stephen King likes this trope.
* Nikolai Bolkonsky at the end of ''[[War and Peace]]'' has a dream that, [[No Ending|had the book continued]], would most likely have come true. Sonya has dreams of Prince Andrei lying down in bed in a rickety house, and that's where he dies.
* Prophetic dreams in ''[[Warrior Cats|Warriors]]'' were originally established as dreams that only medicine cats receive, and when they did have one, it was a pretty big deal. As the series progressed, ''every'' dream that ''every'' character had contained either a prophecy, a glimpse into the future, or allowed them to speak with their ancestors.
