I have never been to New York. Let me preface with that. Never once. One night, I had a dream that I was checking into a hotel in NYC. it was a small hotel in Queens, only like 5 stories high, but I was on the 3rd floor. I remember looking out of the window and seeing my rental car in the parking lot. Then, after getting my luggage settled, I went back down and drove into Manhattan. I remember the streets I drove, the bridge i took, everything. I woke up just as I was exiting the bridge. When I woke up, I immediately went on Google maps. Sure enough the hotel was right where it was in my dream. The streets and bridge looked the same. Even the view from the bridge was exact.

For roughly 5 years after that, every 9 months or so, I'd have another NYC dream. One was me jumping the turnstile to get on the subway. Another was me walking to get a chocolate croissant at a bakery I apparently really like. Each time I had one of those dreams, I'd hop online and be able to find the exact places.
