Question:
Since as a human being you may have definitely experienced dreams (whether meaningful or meaningless) while sleeping at some point in your lifetime. How do you account for a non-religious person having a dream about the future, only for it to unfold exactly as seen? Doesn't this suggest the existence of something supernatural or at least spirits capable of revealing the future to us?"

There are other possible explanations -- it could be a coincidence. Our brains also lie to our conscious self, so your brain could in theory invent the memory of the dream after the real thing occurred (assuming you didn't write it down or talk about it to someone else between the dream and the reality matching it). Lots of possibilities. Realizing that our perceptions of reality are not fixed is a pretty cool thing IMO. I remember reading about how when you move your eyes from one place to another, it takes a long time before they can focus, but your brain will change your perception of time/vision during that interval to make it feel smoother.

I personally dont see how dreams about the future (or anything for that matter) are proof (or disproof) of god.
