Dreamed up phone number leads man to bride

Don’t know if this is the right place for this.

LONDON (Reuters) - A British man has met and married a 22-year-old woman after, by his own account, dreaming of her phone number and then sending her a text message.

David Brown, 24, says he woke up one morning after a night out with friends with a telephone number constantly running through his head. He decided to contact it, sending a message saying “Did I meet you last night?.”

Random recipient Michelle Kitson was confused and wary at first but decided to reply and the two began exchanging messages. Eventually they met and fell in love.

“It was really weird but I was absolutely hooked,” Kitson told the Daily Mail newspaper. “My mum and dad kept saying ‘But he could be an axe murderer’, but I knew there was something special about it.”

After a long courtship, the oddly matched couple – he’s six foot seven inches tall and she’s five foot four – have just returned from their honeymoon in the Indian resort of Goa.

A love-struck Brown said: “I’ve no idea how I ended up with her number in my head – it’s only a few digits different from mine.”

Wow. Maybe there is more to dreams than we thought.

or maybe in a drunken haze he accidentally changed a few digits from his number…

or maybe both!

So in a drunken haze you start fumbling around with numbers

You do this for about an hour until you pass out

Incubate a dream where you are working with numbers and come up with this one.

And there you have it.

still an amazingly awesome win

Haha, wow, that’s so cool!

For a moment I thought I’d finally found a loophole to determinism (I just can’t stop thinking about it), and dreaming of a random number and meeting your wife that way certainly seems like something changed his predetermined life… but then again, there must be a reason to why he dreamed those numbers and not other numbers. There’s always a reason… /me can’t stop trying to find a situation where determinism doesn’t apply.

But yeah, really cool stuff. He’s a lucky guy (and she’s a lucky girl).

This is awesome!! I reckon his subconscious just threw up a random number… I had a dream once where I had the number 0.7 going through my mind. What could 0.7 mean/be?

But still… AWESOME!
