Last night I woke up and having a vivid and intense dream of Manny Pacquiao Vs Errol Spence Jr. I was kinda like viewing it from an overhead angle and sometimes a bit lower, like on the ring apron. Like most dreams, I can't remember much. I do hope North Korea does not accuse my of "dreaming different dreams". Here goes: Pacquiao was bombing Spence Jr. with hard power shots. Not as speedy as the prime Pacquiao, but harder. Those shots were hurting Spence who was by now barely throwing anything himself. Something happened in the 4th or 5th, like Spence Jr. getting hurt bad. Spence Jr. punches were nothing to Pacquiao, he simply walked through light fire. 6th round starts with Pacquiao coming on like Canelo, throwing anything but the jab. Close to the corner, Pacquiao lands 4 punches. Not as a single combination, just slightly spaced out. Spence Jr. is finished even before they land, and when they do land he goes down hard. He isn't unconscious, he is still conscious but he is somewhat frozen, slightly moving, similar to how Lubin was stopped by Charlo, except Spence Jr. is not face down, he is actually kind of like on his side, one elbow on the canvas, the other across his stomach as he desperately tries to get up. He can't, he is only slightly moving in slow motion, the ref was counting. It's over. I'm watching and in shock of Pacquiao power and Pacquiao victory. There is a sense of sorrow for Spence Jr. Then I wake up and check my cell phone next to me. If it's next to me, I always check it on waking up. Naturally, as I'm fighting to remember every last detail, it is all escaping me. I can feel the memory of the dream escaping. I think if I put my phone down and concentrate on remembering, it will help me to remember. As much as I believe this will help, and as much as I really do want to remember, I just can't put my phone down. My brain hurts. This is all that I can salvage of my intense dream last night. It's not the first boxing dream I have had. I've had others but completely forgotten them all by now. I had not given it much thought. Before, I probably would have picked Errol Spence Jr. by close decision. Maybe KO. After tonight, I'm less certain. Could my dream be coincidentally accurate? I don't believe anyone can, with certainty, predict the future. Sometimes, we can get lucky. You never know. Until you know.
dreams can be anything. could be how your mind is dealing with a problem you have. like fearing pac is gonna get wrecked. or maybe you subconsciously want to see spence hurt, and your brain is using pac to make it happen for you. your dreams are used to explore anything and everything your mind has ever conceived. dreams have foretold the future, but pretty much every dream that can be had, has, or will be dreamt, so someone is dreaming the future right now. i very much doubt your dream is prophetic, lol. i believe its more therapeutic.
I agree that dreams are not prophetic or even steeped in fatalism. I don't even care to remember them much at all. I wonder what therapeutic angle could be here because; I really like Pacquiao and don't want to see him get hurt as an old man in boxing. I really like Spence Jr. He has beautiful a beautiful wife and children, likes horses, travelling and is building a great resume too. I'm excited to see the fight, but it's bittersweet because I don't want either to lose.
Boxing dreams are fun. I had a dream a while back that Mayweather knocked out Ortiz and it happened. But I also had a dream that Russell Westbrook stepped in for Mayweather against Cotto and knocked Cotto out cold.
I really wish I could have remembered my other dreams. I don't even know if the transpired accurately.
