On 4-13-2016, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, announced he is collaborating with Yuri Milner and Stephen Hawking on a project to send laser powered, nano-spacecraft to Alpha Centauri.
Alpha Centauri is our nearest star.with possible planets surrounding it.
Around the 12th of the month is when predictive dreams I have seem to happen in real life.
Mark Zuckerberg's announcement matches key words and phrases from the predictive dream I had on 8-28-2013...

*******************************
I'm proud to join Yuri Milner and Stephen Hawking for a new space initiative to go beyond our nearby planets to explore other stars for the first time in human history.
Our nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years or about 25 trillion miles away. Even with today's fastest spacecraft, it would take 30,000 years to get there. That's too long.
The new idea here is that instead of using large spacecraft burning fuel like people have in all traditional space travel, we're going to create a fleet of tiny spacecraft -- or nanocraft -- that we can accelerate to 20% of the speed of light using an array of laser beams from our planet's surface. At that speed of 100 million miles per hour, it will only take 20 years to reach Alpha Centauri. This is a completely new way to think about space travel and exploration....
My 8-28-2013 Laser Dream...
I had a memorable dream on 08-28-2013. It was short and focused. One man, dark hair, white coat- a scientist. He stood and pondered how to find other planets with life in the universe. A simple solution. Station a small reflective satellite near a far flung sun. Once the reflective satellite was in place, shine a narrow, blue laser beam from far away to bounce off of the reflective surface. That was it!
My logical, conscious brain started racing on how that would really work. Would the blue beam be broken by revolving planets and you could measure the length of disturbance in the blue beam of light and predict the size of the planets and how far they were from the reflective satellite? Wouldn't the blue laser be detectable by intelligent life on foreign planets?
I don't know.
Cool dream though...
