My brother had a dream about something that happened (almost)

Nightmare

Hello,

My brother was talking to me yesterday and telling me about how he doesnt like sleeping because he doesnt like the dreams he has. I probed him further and he told me he has a lot of scary dreams and has had a lot of them come true, or partially true.

The only specific example he told me was about 20 years ago he had a dream about me getting hit by a car on my bicycle and dying. Two days before I was actually hit by a car on my bicycle. I was away at college at the time so I didnt have a lot of contact with my brother. I wasnt a big bike rider prior to this event. I ALMOST died the old lady that hit me tried to like roll over to check on me, but she almost ran me over and I had to tuck and roll out of the way. My bike was trashed but I did walk away, quite sore but I recovered. It was kind of surprising my brother brought this event up, it wasnt a major event in my life or even during college.

For context - my brother and I have not had a good relationship. I am trying to repair it. But my brother has some learning disabilities that have made life hard for him. I could tell he was not having a good time sleeping and I wonder if there is something I can do to try and help him. Maybe help him understand his dreams or help him take control. I dont think he is losing sleep about dreams from 20 years ago but clearly some of his dreams are bothering him, and have been for some time.
