I'm not sure what this has to do with god but if you want my opinion... sure.

So first off, I'm not sure you can say this is absolutely true.  I believe that you're telling the story to the best of your abilities with the intention of accuracy, but that doesn't mean its true.  Memory is a funny thing, particularly with dreams, when your brain is in an altered state.  It's possible that you had a dream about a baby, and then after hearing about choking, you remembered it differently.

But, let's assume for a second the dream was exactly as you recalled.  All I could say is something weird happened.  I don't know exactly the explanation, but I'd say that coincidence could not be ruled out.  I'm sure you've had a few thousand dreams in your life.  Most of them probably did not correlate with anything that happened in the real world, so they were forgotten.  Confirmation bias.

I'm guessing since you posted it in this topic, you're implying some kind of supernatural causation.  And, well maybe?  I guess?  I'm personally far more inclined to believe it was an error in memory, or a coincidence, because I know those things happen really often.  If you want to say it's supernatural, I'd really need something more repeatable or testable.

Once you've chosen to question the authenticity of my experience there is no need to further suggest its validity on my behalf.

 

So I won't. 

 

However since I'm left with something undoubtedly accurate to the best of my recollection, I can not simply accept what you assume to be possibility or mere coincidence.

 

It has very much to do with God since most omnipotent beings are closely associated with providing souls to their creations.

 

I didn't assume it was a coincidence, I said this is what I see as the most likely explanation.  Slight but important distinction.  

How did you determine that it was not a coincidence?  And even if you don't believe it was a coincidence, how did you get to god or a soul being involved in this?
