Devan: That’s how many weeks I have left to live.

Marni: What?

Devan: I have cancer.

Marni: What?

Devan: I’m dying.

Marni: Oh my God. No! But…Why? This can’t be happening.

Devan: That’s the way life goes sometimes.

Marni: What…But…Why…

John: Marni, you alright? You having a bad dream?

Marni: Oh my God. Yeah. I…I had this dream that my friend, Devan, had cancer. God, it was awful. She was telling me that she was, like, she only had a few weeks to live and…Oh my God. I’m so relieved.

John: I’m sure it was just a dream. What do you say we go gamble? Make some money?

Marni: OK. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds good.

John: Come on.

Marni: OK.

Discussion

When Marni falls asleep, she sees a vision of Devan walking toward her on a creepy stair case. Devan tells her she is dying of cancer and Marni is shocked.

All this excitement causes her to toss and turn in her sleep. John notices that she’s having a nightmare and wakes her up. When she comes to, she believes it was just a bad dream. Marni doesn’t know yet that Devan has cancer.

What does this scary dream mean? Will Devan really be dead in six weeks? How was Marni able to communicate with Devan in a dream? Is she psychic?

This surreal dream is creepy. I used to have vivid dreams that caused me tossed and turned in my sleep but it is not scary like this one. I think the dream Marni has is not just a creepy dream, I think it tells her something, it might be a prophetic,Devan is dying of cancer. I got terrified and shocked about the part when Marni came to, she saw a 6 on her hand. Anyway, the dream is creepy…..

it's stuff. Marni has to relax just.

Here people say: "A fool sleeps and dreams about stuff "

It is really a scary dream L

What happened to Marni was just dream. So, this scary means as a prophetic to marni that her friend just had a cancer because some dreams are being as a signal to a person that something true has happened in real life. Therefore, it is not necessary that the whole dream will happen in the future. Actually, marni was very panicked when she was communicating with daven in dream <<<I do not blame her J

What do you think over hardly and what are you confused about in the day time cause you some strange dreams happen when sleep.

As this video showed, maybe the mumber SIX confused Marni some all the day.

...It’s funny that the science tries to explain everything by the rational way…But we forget that has many things between the heaven and the earth…and such things become of independently of us…
...Many signs are showed us every day,but nor always we perceive them,sometimes it appears in our dreams,for example and nor everybody has sensibility to perceive them…

Words and numbers can't be read in dreams though.

Ofcourse this story is just made up; it is not ture.

Some people are psychic, they can foretell or they can

have a dream about something will occur in the near

future. Also people, who commited to God, God will

give them a sixth sense, at that is what some people

believe.

it's really scary for me

i don't beleve that what happens in the dream will come true

but sometimes i will feel that something is so familiar that just like it happened before

i have to say that the whole world is so mysterious

I generally have prophetc dreams and I believe it,because always it happens some thing out of real about me,about my friends and next persons for them…however,there is also surreal dreams that not say nothing…These generally are confused!

So that's it!
