Tooth Fairy Prediction Comes True

The Tooth Fairy’s Prediction Comes True

         When Sam was a young lad, about six years old, he had a wild dream one day. The dream haunted him for years. He saw a beautiful woman staring at him. She was an angel with wings. She said she was the tooth fairy and gave him a dollar and took his child’s teeth out with her magic wand. She said that she had a surprise for him, a prediction.

         She said,.

         “When you are 18, you will meet the lady of your dreams in your dreams and eight years later you will meet her in person. That is your fate, Sam.”

         Sam told his mom about the visit of the tooth fairy and her prophetic vision of the future.

         His Mom said,

         You know my Cherokee ancestors believed in the power of dreams. I am sure that will come true someday.”

         The dream of the encounter with the tooth fairy faded away but when he was 18 years old, he had the dream that she foretold, and he recalled her prophecy.

         Eight years later, she walked off a bus in South Korea. He recalled the dreams and the Tooth Fairy’s prophecy. He proposed to her a few days later, and they got married two months later.

         He told her about the dreams, and she laughed and said,

         “That’s a crazy story, but hey it could be true. Because I know that we knew each other in a prior life. That’s why we met in this life.”

         They laughed. And Sam continued to recall the dreams and continued to fall in love with his wife every day. But he never dreamt of the tooth fairy again.


Based loosely on my true story, except that I don’t recall dreaming about the tooth fairy, but dreaming about meeting my wife, that happened. And my mother was part Cherokee, her parents spoke Cherokee. She also believed in the power of dreams and were encouraging us to follow our dreams.
