7 Chilling Dreams That Crossed Into Real Life (Victorian Archives)

Have you ever dreamed something that later came true?
In the late 19th century, Scottish author Andrew Lang collected hundreds of real stories, strange accounts, dreams that seemed to cross into waking life.
🕯️ Join the Society, and the stories shall never fade:   / theoldinksociety  

In this episode of The Old Ink Society we uncover 7 real stories where coincidence, intuition, and the supernatural blur into one:

🐩 The Dog Fanti – Five people, one dream, and a loyal dog who lived.
⚰️ The Swithinbank Brothers – Three soldiers dream their mother’s death.
🐖 The Pig in the Dining Room – A ridiculous dream that came true by breakfast.
🐝 The Mignonette – Bees in a dream, wasps in the morning.
💷 The Lost Cheque – A dream that remembered what the mind forgot.
🪶 The Ducks’ Eggs – A child’s dream that found what was lost.
🗝️ The Lost Key – A vision that led her back to the truth.

These forgotten Victorian tales are not ghost stories in the usual sense but explorations of the haunted human mind.

📖 Based on The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (1897) by Andrew Lang
