The Fortune Cookie Prophecy for Daily Flash


It all happened because of a fortune cookie he had gotten on his 18th birthday.

On his 18th birthday, Jake Lee had gone out with his best friend, Robert, to a Chinese restaurant on Solano Avenue in Berkeley. They read the fortune cookie,

“You will soon dream of meeting your wife. Rest assured you will meet her, but it may take a few years. Hold onto the dream, it will come true and change your life.”

The next week, he had his first dream. He fell asleep in a physics class and saw a beautiful woman standing next to him. He yelled out,

"Who are you?” She merely smiled and disappeared.

That afternoon, he told his friend, Robert,

"Dude. I met her in that dream. The girl the fortune cookie talked about "
and he pulled out the fortune and re-read it.

“Man, who is crazy s…, dude.”

“Man, I know, but I believe it will come true. And we’re getting married, someday.”

He started having the “Dream” as he called it almost weekly. One day he had to decide where to go in the Peace Corps after he finally graduated from college. In the dream. she said “Korea,” and he went to the Peace Corps to find her.

On September 7th, 1982, she walked out of his dreams and into his life. That night, he showed her the fortune cookie and told her about the dream. They both laughed and he proposed to her. But they never agreed,
