Every Star Wars Prequel Scene In Obi-Wan’s Dreams Explained
Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 1.
An extensive dream sequence made up of several scenes from the Star Wars prequels in Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 1 mayrequire explanation for those whose memory of the prequel movies is foggy.

This idea is a literal truth in the reality of Star Wars, where several characters have been shown to have precognitive dreams and clairvoyant visions.
The power of dreams was established early on in the formation of the Star Wars universe. When Yoda first trained Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, he showed him how he could use the Force to view "... other places, other thoughts, the future, the past (and)old friends long gone." Luke quickly used this ability to foresee the ambush that endangered Han and Leia on Bespin and rushed off to rescue them, though it was obvious they were being used by Darth Vader to set a trap for Luke. The Star Wars prequels further cemented the significance of dream visions to the Skywalker Saga, by establishing that Anakin Skywalker had dreams of the future which led to his becoming a Jedi Knight as a child and, later, pushed him to betray the Jedi Order seeking to avert his visions of Padmé Amidala's death.
