125-1 seem like awfully piss poor odds for such a feat... I'd'a thought more like 10,000-1.

So, was it luck, intuition and would you have put the bet on if it was you? Nobody has yet passed constructive comment on this thread. You may dream your team is going to score a goal from their own half but to name the player as well.

If any of you have any spare cash I dreamt last night that I scored the winner for Northern Ireland in the 2010 world cup final. We beat Brazil 4-2.

Remember me when you are spending your winnings

I have dreamed that the Cubs won the World Series (ok, or even gotten there) for years and would never think of betting on it. The guy got lucky...very lucky.
